Calle dei Preti

Hotel Description

Nestled in the historic heart of Venice, the three-star Calle dei Preti offers an authentic Venetian experience with the perfect blend of comfort and Old World charm. Located in the characteristic Sestiere Castello district at number 45, this well-positioned hotel serves as an ideal base for exploring the timeless beauty of Venice. With an impressive guest rating of 8.7, Calle dei Preti has established itself as a highly-regarded accommodation option that consistently exceeds visitors’ expectations. The hotel takes its name from the very street on which it sits—”Calle dei Preti” translating to “Street of the Priests”—hinting at the rich historical narrative that surrounds this enchanting property.

The Castello district, where Calle dei Preti is situated, represents one of Venice’s most authentic neighborhoods, offering guests an opportunity to experience the genuine rhythm of Venetian life away from the more tourist-heavy areas. Despite this local feel, the hotel remains conveniently located for exploring Venice’s major attractions. Just a short walk eastward brings visitors to the magnificent Riva degli Schiavoni waterfront promenade with its spectacular lagoon views, while the iconic St. Mark’s Square (Piazza San Marco) and its breathtaking basilica can be reached within approximately 10-15 minutes on foot. The renowned Arsenale—Venice’s historic shipyard and now a major venue during the Venice Biennale—is also nearby, making Calle dei Preti particularly appealing for art enthusiasts. The hotel’s strategic position allows guests to easily access vaporetto (water bus) stops, providing convenient transportation to other Venetian islands including Murano, famous for its exquisite glass, and Lido, with its beautiful beaches.

What truly distinguishes Calle dei Preti, beyond its advantageous location, is the exceptional quality of service reflected in its outstanding 8.7 rating. Guests consistently praise the hotel’s attentive staff, who offer personalized recommendations and assistance that help visitors navigate the labyrinthine charm of Venice with ease. The hotel’s rooms strike a delicate balance between traditional Venetian aesthetics and modern comfort, many featuring elements characteristic of classic Venetian design such as Murano glass accents, while providing all the contemporary amenities travelers expect. While maintaining the architectural integrity typical of a three-star establishment in historic Venice, Calle dei Preti delivers an experience that many guests describe as exceeding its star classification. The property embodies the intimate, personalized atmosphere that has become increasingly rare in today’s hospitality landscape, offering a genuine alternative to larger chain hotels. For travelers seeking an authentic Venetian sojourn in a centrally located yet characterful neighborhood, with easy access to major attractions while experiencing the true essence of the city, Calle dei Preti presents an excellent choice supported by consistently positive guest feedback. Whether visiting Venice for its architectural splendors, artistic treasures, or simply to absorb the unique atmosphere of this floating city, this distinguished hotel provides a comfortable and memorable base for your Venetian adventure.
