Hotel Description
Welcome to the enchanting “Duplex2 at the entrance of Venice, cozy and relax,” a distinguished 3-star accommodation that serves as a perfect gateway to the magical city of Venice. Nestled in the historic Cannaregio district at Calle Priuli dei Cavaletti 96 R, this charming hotel positions you strategically at the threshold of one of the world’s most captivating cities. With an exceptional rating of 9.1, this highly acclaimed establishment has consistently delighted guests with its thoughtful amenities, warm hospitality, and ideal location. The impressive rating reflects the hotel’s commitment to providing an authentic Venetian experience while ensuring comfort and convenience for all visitors. As you step into this welcoming haven, you’ll immediately sense why so many travelers have given it such outstanding reviews.
The Duplex2’s location in Cannaregio offers a unique advantage for explorers of Venice. This northernmost sestiere (district) serves as the traditional entry point to the city, making the hotel perfectly situated for arrivals and departures while providing easy access to Venice’s labyrinth of canals, historic sites, and cultural treasures. From here, you can easily walk to the bustling Strada Nuova, lined with shops and eateries, or visit the nearby Jewish Ghetto, the oldest in the world, with its profound historical significance and distinctive synagogues. The hotel’s position allows guests to experience the dual nature of Venice – the quieter, more authentic neighborhood atmosphere of Cannaregio, where locals still outnumber tourists, alongside convenient connections to iconic attractions such as the Rialto Bridge and St. Mark’s Square, both accessible by a scenic walk or a vaporetto ride along the Grand Canal. The hotel’s name aptly describes its duplex structure, offering guests unique multi-level accommodations that blend Venetian architectural tradition with modern comfort.
What truly sets the Duplex2 apart, beyond its prime location and outstanding rating, is the cozy and relaxing atmosphere promised in its name and delivered through thoughtful design and attentive service. The duplex layout provides guests with spacious accommodations rarely found in Venice’s historic buildings, allowing for comfortable extended stays while exploring the city’s countless wonders. Whether you’re returning from a day of wandering through narrow calli (streets), admiring Renaissance masterpieces, or cruising the iconic canals, this hotel offers a tranquil retreat to recharge and reflect. The 3-star rating belies the exceptional value and experience provided, as evidenced by the remarkable 9.1 rating from satisfied guests who have discovered this hidden gem at the gateway to Venice. For travelers seeking an authentic Venetian experience with the perfect balance of accessibility, comfort, and local charm, the Duplex2 stands as an invitation to immerse yourself in the timeless beauty of La Serenissima while enjoying a peaceful, homely base from which to embark on your Venetian adventures.

Reviews
Gaurav from United States – 1 January 2024 (10/10)
Very clean and well put together duplex that is close to the bus and Venice Santa Lucia train station. The apartment had lots of amenities for a comfortable stay with the family. Grocery stores and restaurants are nearby. We had a great time. The host was very responsive.
What could be improved: Since the duplex is at the entrance of Venice, it's a bit of a walk to the attractions like Doge's palace and Saint Mark's Basilica.Tanya from United Kingdom – 4 March 2025 (10/10)
Great instructions on how to get to the apartment from the airport. Lovely size for our family of 3, situated in a quiet area but really close to everything so ideal. Well equipped kitchen, we were able to cook several different meals as well as eat out when we fancied it. Good value for money, we really enjoyed our stay here in Venice. Thank you x
Elena from Germany – 18 November 2024 (10/10)
Great location for a trip to Venice: short distance from a train station, walking distance to all Venice sights, yet located in a quiet and clean residential neighborhood. Apartment is very spacious with 2 full bathrooms, 1 separate bedroom and 1 folding couch in a leaving room. Clean, safe and comfortable. Very responsive and friendly host. WiFi is good enough for Zoom calls. We enjoyed our stay there and will book this place again next time.

I love the place and the communication with the owner was really exceptional, he was really helpful and detail oriented, he was prepared to face any problem we could have. The place was spotless and really comfortable, it had everything we needed and more. And the two bathrooms! I highly recommend.
Easterday from United States – 15 May 2024 (9/10)
Great job giving us information on how to find keys and GREAT directions to apartment. Very clean and safe area, super easy to get into Venice while staying close to train station for early morning departure.
What could be improved: The ONLY issue was lack of hot water in upstairs shower, but instead of bothering host we just used downstairs shower. I did tell him after the fact and he was getting it fixed. No worries!Cecilia from Uruguay – 27 April 2024 (10/10)
The house is beautiful and biggest than the photos let you see. The ubication is perfect, very close to St. Lucia train station and 2 different stops of ferries. The bed and sofa-cama were very comfortable, and everything was clean. We loved it! Above all of it, Fabrice give us complete information that we needed and was always reachable via wspp.
What could be improved: I haven't anything bad to say, Fabrice was an excellent host, and we enjoyed our stay.Dasun from Australia – 18 April 2024 (10/10)
Very clean, spacious, well equipped and close to the main train and water taxi stations.
What could be improved: Sometimes the hot water in the showers took a while to reach the desired temperature.Ina from Albania – 1 April 2024 (10/10)
