Friendly Venice Suites – Luxury suites in Venice Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Friendly Venice Suites – Luxury suites in Venice feels like discovering a well-kept secret right in Campo Santo Stefano. You know that feeling when you stumble upon something special that’s been hiding in plain sight? That’s exactly what happened here. The building itself has this understated elegance — nothing flashy, but you can tell immediately that someone put real thought into every detail.

Location & Neighborhood

Honestly, the location is pretty much perfect if you want to be in the thick of things without dealing with the absolute chaos of St. Mark’s Square every time you step outside. Campo Santo Stefano is one of those squares where actual Venetians still hang out — there’s a café where locals grab their morning espresso, and you’ll see kids playing football in the afternoon. Venice can feel like a museum sometimes, but this corner of San Marco still has that lived-in authenticity. Plus, you’re literally a five-minute walk from the Accademia Bridge and maybe ten minutes to St. Mark’s when you want to do the tourist thing.

The Suites

The room I stayed in was genuinely spacious by Venice standards — I mean, we’re talking about a city built on water where every square foot costs a fortune. What struck me most was how comfortable the bed actually was. You know how hotel beds can be hit or miss? Well, they clearly invested in good mattresses here because I slept better than I do at home. The décor walks that fine line between Venetian character and modern comfort without going overboard on either side.

Breakfast & Amenities

Breakfast is a proper Italian affair with some continental options thrown in for international guests. The coffee alone makes it worth getting up for — they use a local roaster that I’d never heard of but definitely want to remember. What I appreciated was that it felt authentic rather than trying to cater to every possible preference. Sometimes simple done well beats elaborate done poorly, and that’s definitely the case here. The staff seems to genuinely care about making sure you’re sorted, which isn’t always a given in tourist-heavy areas.

Why Guests Love It

This four-star property hits that sweet spot where couples especially seem to fall in love with the whole experience — and I can see why. There’s something romantic about having your own little Venetian hideaway in such a prime location, but it’s not trying so hard to be romantic that it becomes cheesy. The 9.6 rating makes sense when you consider that you’re getting excellent beds, a fantastic location, and genuine hospitality without paying five-star prices. It’s the kind of place where you’ll find yourself planning your next Venice trip before you’ve even checked out.

• Kaustubh from Switzerland – 10 November 2024 (10/10)

  Indescribable …….. beyond AMAZING. This is a place to be in Venice. Location, silence and the owner…… he literally takes care of every minute detail. I stayed with my mother who is not very fit but he made sure that she is comfortable at all times….. from arrival till departure. We helped us with the private boat both ways to the train station….too. WiFi works very well and it’s like staying in a PALACE at the most affordable prices…… we strongly recommend it.
  
  What could be improved: Everything was perfect.

• Nicole from United States – 4 November 2024 (10/10)

  Host was very helpful, set up private boat taxi for when we got off the train. The room is beautiful in a great location. After weeks of traveling we always get excited when there is a bathtub, which this room has.
  
  What could be improved: Slightly more expensive than others. This is considered to be one of the newer establishments according to the locals.
