Corte dei Bari

Hotel Description

Nestled in the enchanting district of Santa Croce, the three-star Corte dei Bari offers a delightful retreat in one of Venice’s most authentic neighborhoods. Located at 1235 Santa Croce, this charming establishment combines traditional Venetian character with modern comforts, earning it an impressive 8.1 rating from satisfied guests. The hotel stands as a testament to Venice’s timeless appeal, providing visitors with a genuine experience of the city’s rich cultural heritage while remaining conveniently positioned to explore all that this floating paradise has to offer. Santa Croce, known for its less touristy atmosphere, allows guests to experience a more local side of Venice while still being within walking distance of major attractions.

The Corte dei Bari sits in a strategic location that perfectly balances tranquility with accessibility. From here, guests can easily venture to the magnificent Grand Canal, which curves around the Santa Croce district, offering picturesque views and gondola opportunities. The renowned Piazzale Roma, Venice’s main transportation hub, is relatively close, making arrivals and departures remarkably convenient for travelers. Art enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to the Ca’ Pesaro International Gallery of Modern Art, while those seeking religious and architectural splendors can visit the nearby Church of San Giacomo dell’Orio, one of Venice’s oldest churches featuring stunning Byzantine elements. The hotel’s well-regarded 8.1 rating reflects guests’ satisfaction with its ideal positioning – just far enough from the most crowded tourist areas to provide peace, yet close enough to reach Venice’s iconic landmarks like the Rialto Bridge and St. Mark’s Square with a pleasant walk or a short vaporetto ride.

What truly distinguishes Corte dei Bari is its embodiment of authentic Venetian hospitality. The three-star rating belies the rich experience it offers, with many guests highlighting the exceptional value for money in a city known for its premium prices. The Santa Croce district surrounding the hotel presents visitors with charming local restaurants, artisanal shops, and picturesque canals without the overwhelming crowds found in more touristy areas. Here, guests can wander through narrow calli (Venetian streets) and discover hidden campi (small squares), experiencing the genuine rhythm of Venetian life. Evening strolls along nearby canals offer magical moments as golden sunset light reflects off the water and bathes the ancient buildings in a warm glow. For those seeking to explore further, the hotel’s location provides easy access to the fascinating neighboring district of Dorsoduro, home to prestigious institutions like the Peggy Guggenheim Collection and the Gallerie dell’Accademia. Whether you’re a first-time visitor eager to discover Venice’s iconic sights or a returning traveler looking to uncover the city’s less-explored treasures, Corte dei Bari’s location, quality, and well-earned 8.1 rating make it an excellent choice for an unforgettable Venetian sojourn.

  The location was fantastic for exploring Venice. Lovely restaurants and bars close by. The host was excellent and sorted our issue with the television quickly. He was also happy to give us information about Venice, really helpful.
  
  What could be improved: The only thing we would have liked is the availability of extra pillows.

  The Staff were ever so friendly and helpful nothing at all was too much trouble

• Mel from United Kingdom – 12 August 2022 (8/10)

  Really central for exploring Venice- 5 minutes from Vaporetto and grand canal and restaurants and bars walking distance nearby. Good shower and air conditioning. On the last day we were able to keep our suitcases at the hotel for the day.
  
  What could be improved: plug sockets didn’t use usual European adapters. Not clear where to take rubbish.
  instructions for check in were not clear and didn’t realise hotel and apartment were 15 minutes walk away.

• Gail from United Kingdom – 11 June 2022 (9/10)

  Everything. What an experience

  location

• Joanna from Philippines – 13 May 2022 (8/10)

  Comfortable, complete facilities (except for bidet), and very clean
  
  What could be improved: Location is near train station but quite far from attractions. Had to cross a high bridge by foot before reaching the property

• Jana from United Kingdom – 19 February 2024 (7/10)

  Nice location with easy access to all touristy places. The property was quite nice and spacious for 2. It had enough cuttlery and kitchenware to be able to cook some basic meals
  
  What could be improved: The lighting was a bit cold, could have benefitted from some warm lighting. The hot water tank kept switching off and we had to reset it several times so the heating wouldn't go off.

• Maaike from Belgium – 21 June 2023 (9/10)

  Very good location, in the center of Venice, but not in the very crowded area. It was comfortably cold inside.
  
  What could be improved: A duvet for sleeping, even in summer, is nice to have. But it wasn’t available.
