FORESTERIA VALDESE VENEZIA, Venice

Situated in a quiet corner of the city centre, the Foresteria Valdese Venezia is directly on a canal and offers easy access to all major landmarks. Piazza San Marco, Doge's Palace, and La Fenice Theatre are within walking distance. The property is 18 km from Venice Marco Polo Airport, accessible via the Alilaguna water bus to Fondamente Nove (10 minutes on foot) or public boat lines from the train station. The nearby Libreria Acqua Alta is a useful landmark for navigation. The location is well-served by vaporetto stops and surrounded by restaurants and cafés within a 5-minute walk.

The property offers a variety of accommodation types: single, twin/double, triple, quadruple, and family rooms. Some rooms feature air conditioning, city or canal views, and en-suite private bathrooms, while others have shared external bathrooms located on the same floor. The building's historic character means room sizes and conditions vary; some rooms have sloping ceilings and basic furnishings. Rooms with shared bathrooms are on the third floor (accessed via stairs after the lift to the second floor). Key known details: some rooms lack a mirror and wardrobe; sound insulation between rooms can be limited; the lift serves only up to the second floor. Consider requesting a double room for single use if mobility is a concern.

Breakfast is included in the rate and typically offers bread rolls, cheese, yogurt, fruit, cakes, cereals, jams, butter, juices, and a coffee machine with various hot drinks (available 24/7). The buffet is continental and simple, not a hot cooked breakfast. A vending machine for drinks is also present. There is no restaurant or bar on site, but a wide selection of trattorias and osterias are within a 2-5 minute walk, including Alla Strega and Osteria Alla Staffa (0.5 km).

The Foresteria Valdese Venezia does not have a wellness centre, swimming pool, or gym. Leisure activities are centred on exploring the historic city. The property's quiet canal-side location and common areas with free hot drinks provide a relaxed base for self-guided sightseeing. Boating is available in the surrounding area.

Services include free daily housekeeping, free luggage storage (both before check-in and after check-out), a lift to the second floor, and private check-in/out. Wi-Fi is free throughout the building. Safety features include fire extinguishers, smoke alarms, key card access, and a security alarm. A communal fridge and microwave are available. The property offers an invoice service and allows pets on request with possible charges. Note: there is no night-time reception after 19:00; late check-in instructions are provided with a padlock. The building is not fully wheelchair accessible, and shared bathroom rooms on the third floor are not reachable by the lift. Accepted payment methods: Visa, Maestro, MasterCard.
