Hotel Description
Welcome to the enchanting Il giardino segreto di Monty Don sul Canal Grande, a distinguished 4-star hotel nestled in the picturesque Dorsoduro district of Venice, Italy. This elegant establishment offers a perfect blend of Italian charm and sophisticated comfort, earning it a commendable 8.0 rating from satisfied guests. Located at Calle San Bernardo, 3198, in the artistic heart of Venice, our hotel provides a tranquil retreat while remaining within easy reach of the city’s most celebrated attractions. The name itself hints at a delightful secret garden experience (“il giardino segreto”) alongside the iconic Grand Canal (“Canal Grande”), promising an exceptional stay in one of the world’s most romantic destinations.
The Dorsoduro district, where our hotel proudly stands, is renowned for its authentic Venetian character, away from the more crowded tourist areas yet still centrally positioned. From Il giardino segreto di Monty Don sul Canal Grande, guests can easily explore the nearby Gallerie dell’Accademia, home to Venice’s most impressive collection of pre-19th-century art, or wander to the striking Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute, whose distinctive dome forms part of Venice’s unforgettable skyline. The celebrated Peggy Guggenheim Collection, housing masterpieces of 20th-century art, is also within comfortable walking distance. Our strategic location allows guests to experience both the cultural richness of Venice and the genuine atmosphere of a residential neighborhood, where local cafés, artisan shops, and traditional bacari (Venetian wine bars) offer authentic experiences away from the mainstream tourist paths. The proximity to the Grand Canal also means guests can easily hop on a vaporetto to reach other iconic landmarks such as St. Mark’s Square, the Rialto Bridge, and the Doge’s Palace.
At Il giardino segreto di Monty Don sul Canal Grande, we pride ourselves on creating an immersive Venetian experience that goes beyond typical hotel accommodation. Our well-appointed rooms and suites combine classic Venetian elements with modern amenities, ensuring both comfort and an authentic sense of place. The solid 8.0 rating reflects our commitment to quality service and guest satisfaction, with many visitors particularly appreciating our attentive staff, who are always ready to provide insider tips on experiencing Venice like a local. Whether you’re sipping a morning cappuccino in our intimate courtyard, enjoying an aperitivo while watching the sunset over the canal, or retreating to your elegantly furnished room after a day of exploration, Il giardino segreto di Monty Don sul Canal Grande offers a genuine slice of Venetian life. Our hotel serves as not merely a place to stay, but as a destination in itself—a secret garden retreat along the Grand Canal that captures the timeless magic of Venice while providing all the comforts expected of a quality 4-star establishment. We invite you to discover the perfect balance of location, comfort, and authentic Venetian charm that has earned us our reputation as a preferred choice for discerning travelers to this extraordinary floating city.
