Nestled in a charming 17th-century palazzo, this ivy-clad gem combines a cozy atmosphere with attentive service, just a stroll from the Grand Canal.
"He describes this three-bedroom private home, run by the hospitality group that owns Hotel Flora and Novecento Boutique Hotel, as “an oasis within the oasis of the Venetian lagoon." - Ashlea Halpern
"The Hotel Flora is an ivy-clad 17 th -century palazzo tucked down a narrow alleyway in San Marco. It’s hidden from the crowds, but still an easy stroll to the buzz of San Marco Palazzo and the Grand Canal. Like all grand Venetian homes, it’s had its share of interesting inhabitants over the years, including a School of Painting, a salon for well-known local artists. Continuing the artistic legacy, the Romanelli family—photographers, writers, and antique collectors among them—has owned the hotel for the last 50 years. In the classic manner of a pension, the hotel is intimate and the staff welcoming and friendly. Rooms are cozy and decorated with traditional antique furnishings, heavy drapes, and bold brocade wallpaper in some. Pop down to the Victorian-styled bar for an aperitif, or linger over an espresso with a good read in the hushed garden."
"We stayed up well past the crowds, scurrying over empty bridges on glistening canals on our way to the Hotel Flora in the San Marco district, a marvelous mix of a grand hotel and a cherished pensione with staff perfectly cast for a Wes Anderson film."
