Antica Residenza Veneziana

Hotel Description

Nestled in the heart of Venice’s artistic Dorsoduro district, the three-star Antica Residenza Veneziana offers visitors an authentic Venetian experience with the perfect blend of classic charm and modern comfort. This distinguished establishment, boasting an impressive 8.6 rating from satisfied guests, stands as a testament to exceptional hospitality in one of Italy’s most captivating cities. The hotel’s strategic location in Dorsoduro, one of Venice’s six historic sestieres (districts), places guests in a privileged position to explore both the iconic landmarks and hidden treasures of La Serenissima. Unlike the often overcrowded San Marco area, Dorsoduro offers a more relaxed atmosphere while still providing easy access to Venice’s must-see attractions, making Antica Residenza Veneziana an ideal home base for both first-time visitors and seasoned Venice enthusiasts.

The Dorsoduro district itself is a cultural haven, home to some of Venice’s most prestigious art collections and architectural marvels. Within walking distance of the hotel, guests can discover the world-renowned Gallerie dell’Accademia, housing the largest collection of Venetian paintings from the 14th to 18th centuries, and the modern masterpieces of the Peggy Guggenheim Collection. The nearby Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute, with its distinctive octagonal design and striking dome, offers a magnificent silhouette against the Venetian skyline and bears witness to the city’s resilience following the plague of 1630. For those seeking authentic local experiences, the vibrant Campo Santa Margherita is just a short stroll away, where visitors can enjoy aperitivo among university students and locals, far from the tourist crowds. The convenient location also allows guests to easily explore the charming Zattere promenade along the Giudecca Canal, offering breathtaking views and romantic sunset vistas that capture the magical essence of Venice.

What sets Antica Residenza Veneziana apart, as reflected in its excellent 8.6 rating, is its successful marriage of traditional Venetian elegance with contemporary amenities. The hotel occupies a meticulously restored historic building that preserves architectural elements reminiscent of Venice’s golden age, including exposed wooden beams, traditional terrazzo flooring, and authentic Venetian furnishings. Each room serves as a serene retreat after a day of exploration, providing modern comforts while maintaining the distinctive character that makes a stay in Venice so special. The attentive and knowledgeable staff, frequently praised in guest reviews, excel at providing personalized recommendations that allow visitors to experience Venice beyond the typical tourist path—from hidden bacari (wine bars) serving exquisite cicchetti (Venetian tapas) to lesser-known museums and artisan workshops preserving centuries-old crafts. Whether navigating the labyrinthine streets of Venice, arranging a private water taxi, or securing reservations at sought-after restaurants, the dedicated team at Antica Residenza Veneziana ensures each guest’s Venetian sojourn becomes an unforgettable chapter in their travel story, justifying the hotel’s reputation as one of Dorsoduro’s premier accommodation options for discerning travelers seeking an authentic Venetian experience.

  It is in a less touristy and crowded neighborhood… the most bohemian location in Venice, with good restaurants and lots of local art and culture.

• Aliz from Hungary – 27 January 2025 (9/10)

  Nagyon szép volt a szállás, rendkívül csendes és hangulatos környéken. Tágas szoba, csendes a környező többi ház is és gyönyörű kilátás nyílik a lagúnára. A szállásadó rögtön és pontosan válaszolt minden kérdésünkre és kérésünkre. Zökkenőmentes és pihentető volt az utazásunk hála neki!
