Palazzetto Pisani Grand Canal
Sloping tastefully over the gateway to Venice's most illustrious waterway, the Palazzetto Pisani Grand Canal is the epitome of Venetian history and luxury. Previously the Pisani family's private palace—one of Venice's aristocratic families—the stunning 16th-century palace has been tastefully transformed into an exclusive boutique hotel. Today guests are welcomed into a realm where Renaissance splendor and contemporary elegance blend seamlessly.
With its Dorsoduro location, away from the Ponte dell'Accademia and St. Mark's Square, the property enjoys unobstructed views over the Grand Canal, and as such is a perfect setting for visitors to lose themselves in the beauty of Venice.
Location: Where History Meets the Grand Canal
At Fondamenta Narisi, 2814, Palazzetto Pisani Grand Canal is located in a privileged spot on the most renowned body of water in Venice. The hotel is situated between the Accademia Bridge and the Gallerie dell'Accademia and provides a convenient moment for clients to access the city's most eminent artistic and cultural landmarks.
Located in Dorsoduro, it is a short distance from Venice's cultural sights, including the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Ca' Rezzonico, and Teatro La Fenice. Designer boutiques and historic monuments in the San Marco area are also within easy walking distance via the Accademia Bridge.
Although its location makes it a valuable prize, the neighborhood around the hotel is quiet, giving the guest a cozy refuge from the noise of the more populated sections of Venice. The hotel's private water frontage makes it possible for visitors to come by water taxi to the property directly, an appropriate introduction to the aristocratic flair inside.
A Glimpse into the Past: The Pisani Heritage
Built in the 16th century, Palazzetto Pisani is an epitome of the luxurious lifestyle of the Venetian upper class. The Pisani family, initially housed in the grand Palazzo Pisani Moretta, were patrons of arts and culture—a legacy recreated in its interior design and architecture.

The marble staircases, crystal chandeliers, and parquet floors have one believing oneself to be living in the Serenissima Republic, but restoration with care ensures that the luxury and comfort of modern hospitality is not at all compromised.
