We met friends from England in Venice and we stayed in a 3 bedroom apartment at Palazzo Contarini. We loved every minute! Our rooms were spacious and very clean, we had a kitchen and sitting room so we had a chance to visit privately instead of spending our time together in restaurants and hotel lobbies. We shopped at the local... More

We had a two bedroom apartment here and it was just right for our short break to Venice. The apartment was clean, cool and spacious with everything we needed. Really comfy bedrooms and clean bathrooms. It's set in a quiet area but with everything you need close at hand. We bought fresh bread, fruit and sliced meats for breakfast literally... More

We had a three bedroom unit in this delightful "palace". It is a very spacious apartment and the beds are very comfortable. It is a welcome quiet place away from the main, very busy, section of Venice. It is still close to many things but it let's you experience living in a neighborhood environment in Venice. There are restaurants nearby,... More

We stayed at the Palazzo Contarini della Porta di Ferro by accident, when the budget hotel we had booked ran into problems and arranged for a transfer. To our surprise, we found ourselves installed in a spacious suite, with a full kitchen, a rooftop balcony and a view overlooking the city. Outside the heavy double doors of the hotel lay... More

I can't say how much we enjoyed our 4-day stay at the Palazzo. The Palazzo exudes old gothic Venice, and the neighborhood is so charmingly local Venice and far far from the crowds. We stayed in the Sant'Angelo Room with a vaulted ceiling, terrazo floor and period furnishings, and with 2 balconies overlooking the San Francesco della Vigna Campanille and... More

This is a great place to stay if you have been to Venice a few times and want to feel like you live there. If you have never been before and want to see all the sites, you will be doing a lot of walking from this palazzo. It really is a bit out of the way of most of... More

We stayed at the Palazzo Contorini for 3 days and for a friend's 60th birthday party which was held in the grand lounge. It was perfect! Private caterers provided a 4 course candlelit dinner with pre-dinner drinks and canapes for 24. It was the perfect location for the event, and our hostess says that the manager, Christina, just couldn't have... More

Centuries ago this was an aristocratic palace and it has been carefully and gracefully restored. The common areas are awesome with 30 foot ceilings and the suites, with original Venetian marble flooring, are delightful. Palazzo Contarini is in the Castello district, unknown to most toursist so away from the noise, but only a 10 - 15 minute walk to Piazza... More
