Palazzo Barocci
$250-450/ natt
Boka detta om You want a front-row seat to the Grand Canal without the stuffiness (or price tag) of the Gritti Palace.
Varför människor älskar det
- The private dock means arriving by water taxi makes you feel like royalty
- Rare private garden courtyard that offers a silent escape from Venetian crowds
- Modern, high-tech rooms in a city famous for dusty antiques
Snabb Överblick: It’s a masterclass in modern Venetian hospitality, but if you need a gym or a full-service dinner restaurant on-site, look elsewhere.
Recenserat av @alexfeb: I woke up, threw on a robe, and stepped out to this insane view. Sipping my coffee while watching the Grand Canal wake up was the highlight of my trip. It felt like living in a movie scene—absolutely worth the splurge for this specific room.

Reality check
The breakfast is delicious but steep at €30 per person if not included in your rate.
- You prioritize a modern, dust-free bathroom over 18th-century velvet drapes
- You want to sip an Aperol Spritz on a private terrace watching the Vaporetto go by
- You need absolute silence to sleep (soundproofing is top-tier)

FAQ & Dolda tips
Allt du verkligen vill veta innan du bokar.

Is it accessible?
Yes, there is an elevator and the vaporetto stop is step-free, making it one of the more accessible hotels in Venice.
How much is breakfast?
Approximately €30 per person if not booked with the room. It's a high-quality buffet with à la carte eggs.
