In 2006 my husband and I drove (AND ATE) our way all around Italy. My only regret on that adventure was not spending our hotel time in Venice on The Grand Canal. This year we had an opportunity to ducktail 2 days (and nights) to the end of one tour before beginning a second. I have to say, that without... More

The Bauer Palladio ranks as "Very Good" by virtue of its location and delightful staff, but is not really a 5 Star establishment (to be fair, this is reflected in the price). Over on Giudecca, the hotel is an excellent escape from the madding crowds across the water and to return to sit in the charming garden (partly left to... More

We just returned from Venice, Italy and had stayed at the Bauers Palladio Spa & Resort. Overall an excellent stay at this very unique hotel. The architecture is been kept in the original form and therefore made it a very unique building. (It used to be a convent now turned into a hotel). From the outside, you would never be... More

We stayed 3 nights and wished we had booked more. The hotel looks great, if a little hidden behind its grand historic frontage. Our room was clean and spacious with all you could want. The service from the staff was impeccable and the private boat was ideal and always on time. A previous review was unhappy with the toaster, which... More

The hotel just isn't what you expect from a 5 star and LHW member. Lots of little things including: a) wifi is almost non- existence as nothing of any size opens; b) the silly 30 year old rotating toaster takes 6 repeats to brown the toast; c) the towels are poor quality and bathroom toiletries are poor; d) room decor...

We stayed at two hotels in Venice during our honeymoon. We adored this place, very friendly staff, absolutely stunning rooms with a bathroom to die for. The food in the restaurant is ammmmaaaazing …most memorable of our entire European honeymoon. We had a little trouble finding the hotel as no one seemed to have heard of it but it all... More

Perfect location, just across the canal from St Marks square. Free shuttle boats goes to and from the sister hotel, 1 minutes walk from the square. The hotel itself is very grand and is located in a beautiful and very quiet area. We never ate in the restaurant but the breakfasts were lovely and the outside seating area is a... More
