Residence Rio Marin

Hotel Description

Nestled in the heart of Venice’s charming Santa Croce district, the three-star Residence Rio Marin offers travelers an authentic Venetian experience with modern comforts. Located at Sotoportego dei Squelini 901/c, this well-regarded accommodation boasts an impressive 8.0 rating, reflecting its consistent ability to satisfy guests with its service and amenities. The Residence sits along one of Venice’s picturesque minor canals, the Rio Marin, from which it takes its name, providing a more serene setting away from the city’s main tourist thoroughfares while remaining accessible to Venice’s most celebrated attractions. Santa Croce, known for its genuine neighborhood feel, places guests within walking distance of the Grand Canal and offers easy connections to iconic landmarks such as the Rialto Bridge and St. Mark’s Square.

The Residence Rio Marin perfectly balances Venetian charm with contemporary convenience, making it an ideal base for exploring the floating city. The property’s strong 8.0 rating speaks to its excellence in hospitality, with previous guests particularly appreciating its strategic location that offers both tranquility and proximity to major sights. The Santa Croce district provides a glimpse into authentic Venetian life, with local cafés, restaurants, and shops where visitors can experience the city as locals do. Art enthusiasts will appreciate being near the Chiesa di San Giacomo dell’Orio, one of Venice’s oldest churches, and the remarkable Scuola Grande di San Giovanni Evangelista, both architectural treasures within the neighborhood. The nearby vaporetto stops ensure that guests can easily navigate to other parts of Venice, including the colorful island of Murano, famous for its glassmaking tradition, and Burano, known for its brightly painted houses and lace-making heritage.

For travelers seeking an immersive Venetian experience beyond the typical tourist path, Residence Rio Marin offers a perfect blend of accessibility and local ambiance. The three-star rating reflects its thoughtful amenities and services without the premium price tag of Venice’s luxury establishments, making it an excellent value proposition for discerning travelers. The surrounding area reveals Venice’s authentic character, with winding alleyways (sotoportegos) and tiny squares (campi) waiting to be discovered, each with its own stories and charm. As evening falls, guests can enjoy strolling along the nearby fondamenta (canal-side walkways), perhaps stopping at a bacaro (traditional Venetian wine bar) to sample cicchetti (local appetizers) while watching gondolas glide by on the water. With its solid reputation reflected in its 8.0 rating, Residence Rio Marin embodies the intimate and personal experience that makes a stay in Venice truly memorable, offering a genuine taste of Venetian life while providing a comfortable retreat after days spent exploring one of the world’s most extraordinary cities.

  Amazing location, beautifully clean ! Helpful staff , perfect for a few days away , plus they allowed us to leave our bags at the room as soon as we arrived so a massive bonus
  
  What could be improved: As the mezzanine was open one side you could hear the room below but it wasn’t an issue really, some may not like this , same there’s nowhere to leave back when you leave

• Shiming from Netherlands – 5 November 2024 (8/10)

  close to train and bus station.
  
  What could be improved: bathroom door cannot close properly. mosquitoes (asked for repellent but never got any) that seriously affect sleep. the loft is also not really separated from the bottom sleeping room ( so the noise in sleep room can be all heard in life)
