Albergo Basilea

Hotel Description

Welcome to Albergo Basilea, a charming three-star hotel nestled in the heart of Venice’s authentic Santa Croce district. This welcoming establishment combines traditional Venetian character with modern comforts, earning it a solid 7.9 rating from satisfied guests who appreciate its genuine atmosphere and convenient location. Situated at S.Croce – Rio Marin 817, the hotel enjoys a privileged position along one of Venice’s picturesque canals, offering visitors a taste of authentic Venetian life away from the most crowded tourist areas while still remaining accessible to the city’s most celebrated attractions.

The Santa Croce district where Albergo Basilea is located represents the perfect balance between Venetian authenticity and tourist convenience. The hotel sits near the beautiful Rio Marin canal, allowing guests to experience the unique sensation of Venetian waterways right outside their accommodation. Just a short walk from the property, visitors can discover the magnificent Church of San Giacomo dell’Orio with its stunning artwork and the Campo San Giacomo dell’Orio, a charming square where locals gather and children play—offering a glimpse into genuine Venetian daily life. The district’s strategic location means that celebrated landmarks such as the Rialto Bridge and St. Mark’s Square are easily accessible by foot or vaporetto (water bus), while the nearby Piazzale Roma serves as Venice’s transportation hub, providing convenient connections to the mainland and Marco Polo Airport. The renowned Scuola Grande di San Rocco, housing magnificent Tintoretto paintings, and the Franciscan Church of Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari with works by Titian are also within walking distance, making Albergo Basilea an ideal base for cultural exploration.

With its commendable 7.9 rating, Albergo Basilea distinguishes itself as a reliable choice for travelers seeking quality accommodations without the premium prices of Venice’s more tourist-saturated areas. The hotel’s three-star designation reflects its commitment to providing essential comforts while maintaining the authentic character that makes Venice so beloved. Guests particularly appreciate the property’s Venetian charm, with many rooms featuring traditional décor elements that evoke the city’s rich artistic heritage. While maintaining its historic character, Albergo Basilea doesn’t compromise on essential modern amenities that today’s travelers expect. The hotel’s location along Rio Marin offers select rooms with canal views—a quintessential Venetian experience that allows guests to watch gondolas and boats glide by. The property’s positioning in Santa Croce also means guests can experience Venice’s magnificent labyrinth of streets, bridges, and squares at a more relaxed pace, discovering hidden gems, local cafés, and authentic restaurants patronized by Venetians rather than just tourists. For travelers seeking to experience both the iconic attractions and the authentic character of Venice, Albergo Basilea provides a welcoming haven that bridges tourist convenience with genuine Venetian atmosphere, making it a smart choice for discerning visitors to this extraordinary floating city.

• Omar from Italy – 21 July 2024 (8/10)

  Good location and clean rooms

• Colin from United Kingdom – 24 June 2024 (9/10)

  We were pleasantly surprised on our arrival. Without waiting for it we had a room overlooking the canal, bathroom in the room, everything super clean, spacious room, very comfortable bed, if you like modern furniture this is not your place, very nice staff. To get to the hotel from Marco Polo airport we chose the vaporetto to and from there, about 10 minutes walk. For us the location was perfect because we like to walk and get lost in the streets of Venice, about 10 or 15 minutes from the Rialto Bridge. If we come back I would repeat in this accommodation.
