Palazzo Giovanelli

In the very heart of Venice, Palazzo Giovanelli stands as a quintessence of subtle elegance and age-old nobility. Once home to Doges, merchants, and nobles, the 16th-century palace now throws open its gates to usher in guests to a realm where history and art are blended with exquisite harmony and luxury. Situated in Campo San Stae, with views out over the Grand Canal, the hotel provides convenience and confidence both — a wonderful bargain for anyone looking to enjoy the city's beauty in serene elegance.

A Venetian Noble Residence

Commissioned by the powerful Giovanelli family from the very beginning, the palace is Venice's golden age of commerce and architecture. Its stone-work and Gothic-arched décor façade presents the promise of a successful history inextricably bound up with the city itself. Restored to its present form as an upscale hotel, the building has been restored with painstaking care to maintain its past magnificence while availing itself of today's luxury.

Inside, guests are greeted by marble floors, Murano glass chandeliers, gilded ceilings, and frescoed walls evoking the opulence of Renaissance Venice. Each corridor has a tale to tell — of Venetian sophistication preserved for centuries and now reinterpreted in understated luxury.

Rooms and Suites of Distinction

Palazzo Giovanelli bedrooms and suites are characterized by eternality with period furniture blending with modern facilities. Exceptional in design, each of the rooms features antique furnishings, opulent fabrics, and soft lighting, evoking a warm and cozy atmosphere.

Several suites have a direct access onto Venice's Grand Canal, with breathtaking views across the city's most famous waterway. Visitors are able to watch gondolas go by their windows, through drapes of velvet and the soft lapping water of the canal beneath.

For ultimate pampering, there is the Presidential Suite with opulent space, frescoed ceiling furnishings, and canal views that seem to stretch out to infinity — an experience recalling the Venetian nobles.

All the rooms are air-conditioned, Wi-Fi enabled, and equipped with modern bathroom facilities, among other such considerate comforts, so that the patrons can have authenticity as well as comfort during their stay.

A Breakfast Experience of Refined Simplicity

Breakfast each morning is served as a bright sun-filled continental buffet in a window-front dining area with a view of overlooking windows over the canal. Order-made freshly made pastries, fresh seasonal fruits, cheeses, and bold Italian espresso are among the options. Visitors can dine at leisure while watching the serene rise and fall of boats outside — a classic Venetian picture.

The surroundings are peaceful and sophisticated, the perfect way to begin a day of exploration in the nearby Rialto Market, St. Mark's Square, or Venice's maze of hidden backstreets.

Premiere Location with Unparalleled Access

Palazzo Giovanelli’s location along the Grand Canal makes it one of the most conveniently situated hotels in Venice. It sits just steps away from the San Stae Vaporetto stop, offering direct access to key destinations such as Piazza San Marco, Rialto Bridge, and Santa Lucia Train Station.

Despite its central location, the palace has a serene atmosphere that is an oasis from the rest of the city's more touristy areas. Guests can walk to family-owned osterie, handcraft shops, and neighborhood art galleries, which allow them to experience real Venice without the usual crowds of tourists.

Not only is Palazzo Giovanelli architecturally stunning but so is its personalized service. The staff embodies the Venetian heritage of genuine hospitality and offers each guest individualized attention and comfort. From arranging water taxis to dining and cultural show recommendations, the staff demonstrates thoughtful detail.

Their polite but formal demeanor has received much appreciation from the hotel's visitors who appreciate the mix of formality and politeness so typical of authentic Venetian hospitality.

A Stay Steeped in Heritage and Grace

To stay at Palazzo Giovanelli is to live Venice like the Doges lived — amid beauty, elegance, and the soft sound of the canals. Merging ancient buildings, serene ambiance, and modern luxury, it is the perfect destination for individuals who need authenticity but will not compromise on anything.

Whether for a lovers' getaway, a cultural refuge, or a peaceful respite, guests at Palazzo Giovanelli are enveloped by a world where every moment is a reflection of beauty and sophistication in Venice.
