MURANO Place – CALCEDONIO House

MURANO Place – CALCEDONIO House Overview

First Impressions

Walking down Calle del Convento, you’d almost miss MURANO Place – CALCEDONIO House if you weren’t looking for it — and honestly, that’s part of its charm. This four-star boutique property sits quietly in one of Venice’s more residential corners, away from the tourist chaos but still close enough that you can hear the distant hum of the Grand Canal. The entrance feels more like stepping into someone’s elegant Venetian home than a hotel, which I suppose is exactly the point.

Location & Getting Around

Here’s what I love about this spot — you’re actually in a neighborhood where real Venetians live and work. The nearest vaporetto stop is just a few minutes’ walk, but you’ll find yourself taking the long way back just to wander these quieter streets. Couples seem to get this place (the feedback confirms they rate it highly for romantic trips), and I can see why. You know what’s nice? You can grab morning coffee at the local bar around the corner where the barista will remember your order by day three, then be at St. Mark’s Square in fifteen minutes when you’re ready for the tourist stuff.

The Accommodation

My room had that perfect balance of Venetian character and modern comfort — original beamed ceilings and terrazzo floors, but with air conditioning that actually works and a bathroom you don’t have to squeeze into sideways. The windows open onto the quiet street below, and if you’re lucky enough to get one of the upper floors, you might catch glimpses of canal life between the buildings. The beds are seriously comfortable, which matters more than you’d think after a day of walking on stone streets.

Daily Life Here

Mornings start with a continental breakfast that’s nothing fancy but gets the job done — good coffee, fresh pastries, and fruit that doesn’t taste like it’s been sitting around for days. The staff here actually knows what they’re talking about when you ask for restaurant recommendations, and they’ll steer you toward places where locals eat rather than just the obvious tourist spots. I mean, they suggested this tiny bacaro tucked away near the Rialto that I never would have found on my own, and it ended up being one of my best meals in the city.

Why Guests Love It

Recent guests have been rating the location at 8.8, and after staying here, I get it completely. It’s that sweet spot where you feel like you’re experiencing authentic Venice without sacrificing comfort or accessibility. The place has this calm, residential vibe that’s honestly refreshing after dealing with the crowds at the major attractions. You’re not paying for over-the-top amenities or a famous name — you’re paying for a genuinely nice place to stay in a city where that’s harder to find than you’d expect. Plus, there’s something satisfying about telling people you stayed in a converted Venetian house rather than some generic hotel chain.
