Hotel Violino D'Oro in Venezia, open June–September.
Your guests step off the vaporetto directly into Piazza San Marco, entering a 4-star hotel where Venetian history becomes their backdrop.
Here, arrivals feel like entrances into something significant—the marble lobbies, the proximity to the basilica, the way light hits the water outside their windows.
Every moment from check-in to the final toast happens within steps of one of Europe's most iconic squares.
Outstanding boutique hotel. The location is second to none, a short stroll to St Marks Square and right on the street where all the high end boutiques are. The actual hotel is beautifully appointed and the rooms are spacious. We requested an upgrade upon our arrival and were very pleased with the suite we stayed in, overlooking S. Moise canal. It was large with a huge walk in robe to keep all our luggage. The staff were so friendly and professional. The breakfast was plentiful and the bar area was so lovely to spend time in either reading with a coffee or before or after dinner drinks. I can’t fault this hotel and will definitely be back. Thank you to all the staff for a wonderful stay, and probably the best hotel we stayed in over our 5 weeks in Italy 🙌🏻
