Baroque palazzo guesthouse
Baroque palazzo guesthouse
Six bedrooms fill the top of a medieval merchant house, run like a private residence with evening prosecco on the roof.
What it’s good at
Notable
Upper floors of a thirteenth-century mercantile palazzo overlooking Campo Santo Stefano.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
It’s got just a handful of rooms, outfitted in a style that’s antique but never heavy, despite its rich colors.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Campo Santo Stefano sits just downstairs, and the Accademia Bridge crosses the Grand Canal a two-minute stroll away.
The rooms
Rooms have rich fabric-covered walls and painted furniture, with windows looking across the rooftops to Santo Stefano.
At the table
Breakfast is laid out beneath dark ceiling beams and tapestries, beside arched windows looking out at the neighboring church.
How it began
The building began in the thirteenth century as a wool merchant trading post before housing a medieval guild of stonecutters.
