About Hotel Bisanzio
Hotel Bisanzio sits on the Calle de la Pietà in Venice's San Marco district, offering direct views across the city's iconic waterways and historic architecture.
The 4-star property occupies a restored Venetian palazzo with original stone facades and arched windows overlooking the canal system.
Guests experience the layered geography of Venice, water-level arrivals, intimate courtyard spaces, and rooftop terraces that frame the basilicas and bell towers defining the skyline.

We fully enjoyed this "hidden" gem of a hotel. It is so close to major sites but tucked away enough to be quiet and over-run with people in the narrow calle. Our room, a junior suite, was spacious, bright, very clean and quiet.
