About these Venice hotel pages:
We've included customized Google maps that you can zoom, rotate, or drag for better views.
If you see a conflict between our directions and a hotel's, rely on ours. (Hotel sites are often years out of date.) Ditto for maps: Our icons are hand-placed for accuracy, while GPS-based labels can be off by a street or more.
Finally, if you don't know the city's
layout, see our Venice Orientation Map

Palazzo Abadessa
Directions and Booking Links
Powered by iMapBuilder
ABOVE: The Palazzo Abadessa is marked by an
icon at the left edge of the map.
The
Palazzo Abadessa (residenza d'epoca)
is a four-star boutique hotel in a
former Doge's residence from the 1500s. The building is just what you'd expect of an
authentic
palazzo: It has a dramatic entrance hall, period furnishings, enough
frescoed ceilings and paintings to keep a museum curator happy, and a garden
where you can sit on a marble bench or have breakfast amid the flowers and
trees. (If you get tired of pretending to be a Venetian aristocrat, you can
retreat to the Internet with the palazzo's free Wi-Fi connection.)
How to reach the Palazzo Abadessa from the Fondamente
Nove airport-boat stop:
-
As you leave the boat pier, look for the Salizada
Spechieri. This is a street just to the right of the pier.
-
Walk inland on the Salizada Spechieri, past the Gesuiti
Church and through the Campo dei Gesuiti to a canal.
-
Turn right immediately before the bridge. Walk along the
Fondamenta Zen to the next bridge (called the Ponte Santa Caterina o
Zanardi).
-
Turn left and cross that bridge. Continue walking straight
ahead on the Calle Zinardi and the Ruga dei Due Pozzi.
-
When you reach the next canal, turn right onto the
Fondamenta Priuli. Walk a few meters and cross the bridge on your left.
-
The Palazzo Abadessa is just after the bridge on the Calle
Priuli. (The building is on the right side of the street at no. 4011.)
