Violino d'Oro Venezia

In a beautiful city full of beautiful hotels - Violino D'Oro Venezia stands out head & shoulders above the others. What makes a city such as Venice amazing? The people. What makes a hotel in a city with some of the nicest hotels in the world exceptional? The staff. Their warmth, sincerity, attention to detail, gift of anticipation, discretion, memory, the details, all of the little things that separate them from the rest. They are not in the hotel business. They are in the hospitality business. Fully understanding what we liked and wanted to do, see, and eat - every recommendation was spot on. Knowing we had limited time, some of our inquiries were met with an emphatic, "This is a must!" or a very discreet, "You are not missing anything." I had delayed luggage, a lost wallet, it rained, this and that - boo hoo! My visit to Venice was so beautiful we did not want to leave. The Violino D'oro made it a memory I will always cherish and cannot wait to revisit. I would be remiss if I did not mention some of the staff. Forgive me if I forgot your name or worse, I misspell it. From the top: Annabella. A professional six ways to Sunday. Shawnee (due doppi espressi il prima possible), Alex, Tudor, Giada, Andrea (best haircut place ever), and last but certainly not least, Mateo. Location? Perfect Food? Delicious Rooms? Wow Cleanliness? Immaculate Blah, Blah, Blah . . . As I stated above - a memory I will always cherish and cannot wait to revisit. Thank you for having us in your beautiful home.

We spent 3 nights at this lovely hotel last week, and for us it ticked all the boxes. Perfect location just 5 minutes stroll from St Marks Square, a small, luxurious & beautifully furnished & decorated 5* boutique hotel with incredibly friendly & helpful staff. We had a junior suite overlooking a peaceful square at the back, a lovely spacious room filled with natural light, extremely comfortable bed & great shower. Furnishings are a mix of traditional & modern, fabulous art & a light touch without too much gold & brocade. We only ate breakfast at the hotel which was excellent with fruit, pastries & hot food to choose from, all beautifully presented. We couldn’t recommend it highly enough & can’t wait to go back.

Great location near San Marcos Square in luxury shopping area. Clean and elegant small hotel. Breakfast is superb. Staff very helpful.

This is perhaps the best service I've ever had in a hotel. The staff were knowledgeable about the area, restaurants, directions, and were warm and clear. The hotel shows the owner's very careful selection of everything, from lamps to snacks to toiletries and furniture design. My wife wants to return "quarterly." The whole experience gets 5 out of 5 stars.
