Hotel Corte Contarina

The room was comfortable, spacious and had a bath. We had a lovely breakfast in the morning and it was only a short walk to St. Mark’s Square.

The breakfast was delightful, featuring freshly baked bread and coffee, tea, juices, and yogurt. The staff were attentive and friendly, providing valuable assistance throughout our stay. The accommodation was in a very safe and quiet neighborhood, well connected to the public transportation system and at a walkable distance to the main islands and attractions. Overall, great value for money.

This hotel was recommended to us by family members who had stayed there in previous years. This is an old-fashioned hotel in a historic building which ensures a great atmosphere. The location is great, away from the main tourist masses in a area that local people actually live in. Easy walking distance from St Mark's square along the waterfront. And well connected to the vaporetto network at Biennale landing stage. There is a wide boulevard with many shops and exceptional local restaurants that serves mainly locals just round the corner.

We were 2 staying there a few days. We appreciated : the friendly welcome on our late arrival (thanks Moustafa), the location (not too far from San Marca Piazza area) in a living area, the equipment of hotel/room, the breakfast. On top of that : one of us forgot his Hugo Boss sliders in the bathroom. The hotel confirmed the found them (many would have kept them and said they did not fond anything !). They were really helpfull in having them back. Thanks for everything to all theam staff !

Room was small but well appointed. The shower was teeny tiny but I'm not a big person so it was fine. I think I was put in something like an attic room because I was traveling alone and I had no problems with the room. Again, good breakfast, and this was one of the reasons I chose this hotel. It included breakfast and even though I didn't get to eat it every day I did enjoy it when I got up early enough to have it. Breakfast tip: combine cappuccino + hot chocolate to make delicious mocha for a longer and smoother caffeine ride in the morning walking about :) Location was key because I was there to visit all sorts of exhibitions and a couple of special events related to la Biennale so I couldn't be in a better place than right in the middle of Giardini. Via Garibaldi seems to have become a lot more popular since the last time I visited and now it has a fun nightlife so take advantage of the great bars, restos, and cafés. This hotel is right behind the Coop supermarket so it makes for efficient and quick shopping for the most delicious cheeses, breads, plenty of dry goods, water, at great prices.
