3-star guesthouse in a 14th-century palazzo on the Grand Canal

Historic Building & Cultural Venue

Foresteria Levi occupies a wing of Palazzo Giustinian Lolin, a 14th-century building on the Grand Canal. The hotel serves as an exhibition venue for the Venice Biennale and hosts concerts throughout the year. Guests can step directly onto a private water-taxi dock that overlooks the canal traffic.

Location & Access

The Accademia water-bus stop is a 1-minute walk from the hotel, and the Grand Canal is just steps away. Saint Mark's Square and the Rialto Bridge are within a 10-minute walk, offering direct access to major landmarks. The hotel is set on a quiet lane near Palazzo Grassi and the Accademia Gallery, away from the busiest tourist crowds.

Rooms & Amenities

Each air-conditioned room has a private bathroom, a TV, and a telephone, with high ceilings and terrazzo floors in many units. Some quadruple rooms are laid out over two levels, with a loft area for children and a queen bed downstairs. Rooms include a kettle, a mini fridge, and a safety deposit box, and daily housekeeping is provided.

Services & Concierge

Reception is open 24 hours and offers luggage storage, private check-in/check-out, and a professional concierge service that arranges personalized tours and water-taxi transfers. The hotel provides a trouser press, a lift, and meeting/banquet facilities for business or private events. CCTV and smoke alarms are installed in common areas for safety.

Breakfast & Dining

A continental breakfast with sweet and savoury options is available each morning for €12 per person, served in a dedicated breakfast room. The selection includes cold meats, cheeses, pastries, yoghurt, cereals, and hot beverages. Breakfast is optional, and guests can explore nearby restaurants on Calle XXII Marzo and around Santo Stefano square.

“This guesthouse, nestled in a 14th-century palazzo overlooking the Grand Canal, places you steps from the Accademia Bridge and a short walk from St. Mark's Square, an ideal position for immersing oneself in Venice. The rooms provide comfortable, if simple, refuge after a day of exploring, and the concierge stands ready to assist in planning personalised tours. It's a quiet location that seems particularly well-suited to those drawn by the cultural events and exhibitions.”

The location is excellent. I found easy access to many destinations by walk. Staff were friendly and professional too. They showed consistent courtesy and politeness.
Most importantly, the listing make a lie about air conditioning. They use only AC or heat for the entire building. I found hair and a blood smear in the bathroom. The room is small too.

Romantic Hideaway

ideal location spacious room helpful staff great breakfast
the location was ideal, close to the main attractions (i particularly enjoyed the short walk to the market). the quadruple room was spacious with a split layout that provided privacy, a bonus. the staff offered a map and pointed out local points of interest, away from typical tourist spots. breakfast was great (especially the croissants!).
soundproofing was minimal, and noise from neighboring rooms was noticeable.

i really liked how close it was to everything, like easy to walk to places. the room included some free drinks in its mini-fridge and that was cool. the staff was really awesome, especially silvia, because she helped us find our passports we left behind!

great location helpful staff tiny room brick wall
The location was great, near the Accademia bridge (though I would have preferred the Rialto, naturally). The staff was helpful with directions.
My 'Double or Twin Room' was tiny. I could barely turn around. The promised canal view turned out to be a view of a brick wall (the pigeons seemed happy enough, though).
