Hotel Abbazia in Venezia, open June–September.
Hotel Abbazia sits 200 meters from St.
Mark's Basilica, meaning your ceremony logistics are simplified—guests stay where they celebrate, and the city's most iconic backdrop requires no transportation.
This 4.4-star property in Venice's Cannaregio district offers 37 rooms across a restored 17th-century building, making it practical for destination weddings where accommodations and venue align.
The on-site restaurant and canal-adjacent location handle both ceremonies and receptions without venue-hopping complications.
We have stayed in Hotel Abbazia for 3 nights while exploring Venice. Have chosen the hotel for it's historic value, charm and remained extremely pleased with our stay and overall experience. Our room was spacious, well equipped with everything we needed for our stay, newly and charmingly decorated, extremely clean. It overlooked the inner garden and rest of the Abbey. The breakfast served was plentiful with huge variety of hot dishes, cold cuts, cereal, fruits, pastries and freshly baked cakes. Every day there would be some changes to variety served, which was a pleasant surprise. Breakfast room itself had a communal feeling to it leaving plenty opportunities to meet other people, connect and have a little breakfast conversation. Hotel had a charming bar and resting/ relaxing area, which we absolutely wanted to use, but were not able to due to all the other things we have planned throughout our stay. Hotel staff we have met during our stay was extremely kind, polite and had attention to detail in everything they did. I can't recommend this hotel enough and hope to come back and stay during any future trips to Venice. It's an absolute gem offering excellent value for money. Huge Thank You to hotel management and all the staff for a fantastic experience and stay!
