Residenza dell’Arte

Hotel Description

Welcome to Residenza dell’Arte, a charming three-star boutique hotel nestled in the serene Giudecca district of Venice, Italy. This thoughtfully appointed establishment combines authentic Venetian character with modern comforts, earning a solid 7.7 rating from satisfied guests who appreciate its unique location away from the tourist crowds yet still connected to Venice’s magnificent attractions. Situated at Giudecca 814, this hotel offers a distinctive perspective on the magical floating city that few travelers get to experience. The Giudecca island provides a peaceful retreat across the water from the bustling main islands, giving guests the opportunity to experience Venice like a local while still enjoying panoramic views of the city’s iconic skyline.

The Residenza dell’Arte stands as a testament to Venetian elegance on the shores of Giudecca, an island with a rich artistic and cultural heritage that lives up to the hotel’s name, which translates to “Residence of Art.” From this tranquil vantage point, guests can start their day with a refreshing vaporetto (water bus) ride across the Giudecca Canal to St. Mark’s Square and the city center, allowing for a breathtaking approach to Venice’s main attractions that most hotel locations simply cannot offer. The island itself boasts notable landmarks including the majestic Il Redentore church designed by renowned architect Andrea Palladio, as well as galleries and artisan workshops that reflect the area’s creative spirit. The hotel’s well-regarded 7.7 rating reflects guests’ appreciation for this authentic Venetian experience—one that combines the convenience of city access with the ability to retreat from the crowds and enjoy peaceful evenings watching the sunset paint the main island’s silhouette in golden hues.

Residenza dell’Arte embraces its artistic namesake through thoughtfully designed interiors that pay homage to Venetian traditions while providing all the necessities modern travelers expect from a quality three-star establishment. Guest rooms feature a harmonious blend of classic Venetian elements—think rich fabrics and traditional furnishings—alongside contemporary amenities that ensure comfort throughout your stay. The attentive staff, contributing significantly to the hotel’s positive 7.7 rating, pride themselves on providing personalized service that helps guests navigate Venice like insiders. From recommending authentic local restaurants along Giudecca’s waterfront to arranging water taxis for special occasions, the team at Residenza dell’Arte transforms a simple stay into an immersive Venetian experience. Morning breakfasts offer a taste of Italian culinary traditions, energizing guests for days spent exploring Venice’s labyrinthine canals, historic palazzos, and world-class museums. As evening falls, return to the peaceful Giudecca island and perhaps enjoy an aperitivo at a local establishment, watching the lights of Venice proper twinkle across the water—a magical perspective that showcases why those in the know choose Residenza dell’Arte as their Venetian home away from home.

Reviews

• Olgeirsdóttir from Iceland – 25 July 2024 (8/10)

  I liked the easy communication through booking app, the appartment was very bright and spacious which was perfect since I was working on the computer during the day and could use the space. It is close to the vaporetto stop and felt very safe.
  
  What could be improved: There are only two pairs of towels and I stayed there a week so they were quite soggy at the end of my stay.

• Josiane from Canada – 17 September 2024 (9/10)

  The apartment located on the Giudecca island in the Molino Stucky complex was bright and quiet with a very comfortable bed, it was generally well equipped. It was pleasant to escape the busy San Marco area to find an elegant place minutes away by vaporetto. There were several excellent local restaurants and food stores near by.
  
  What could be improved: The kitchen cabinet was broken, there were no kitchen towels to dry dishes and no glove for the oven. The fabric on the armchair was torn and covered with a small sheet. A few easy fixes to make it excellent.

• Zoltán from Hungary – 11 December 2022 (8/10)

  What could be improved: The host simply did not give me a receipt about the full payment. Only the third of it. Very unfriendly person anyway.

• Eli from Israel – 27 September 2024 (9/10)

  What could be improved: some delay with the entrance key being transferred

• Brachyahu from United Kingdom – 25 October 2023 (8/10)

  Fantastic place
  
  What could be improved: 🦟 keep windows shut at night

• Gvantsa from United States – 23 April 2023 (6/10)

  It was a fine stay. The bed was extremely comfortable. Very much a grandma vibe.
  
  What could be improved: The shower head was in the middle of the tub? Strange placement. Again, very out of date. Fine stay, just overall odd.

• Atila from Turkey – 12 November 2024 (3/10)

  clean and comfortable
  
  What could be improved: I requested an iron but the host refused to help me.

• Adam from Poland – 25 March 2024 (9/10)

  Mieszkanie mieści się na wyspie Giudecca, co oznacza dostęp tylko za pomocą komunikacji miejskiej. Lokal jest czysty, obszerny, dobrze wyposażony, położony w spokojnej okolicy w ładnym miejscu na 4. piętrze.
  
  What could be improved: Uszkodzony był bidet i nie działała pralka przy czym z mojej perspektywy (niespełna 4 dniowy pobyt) nie były to istotne niedogodności.

• Walter from Germany – 17 October 2022 (8/10)

  Viel Platz und gepflegt. Vom Flughafen aus unbedingt mit der Fähre anreisen.
  
  What could be improved: Eine größere Bialetti (Espressokanne) und WLAN bräuchte es.

• Laurent from France – 26 March 2025 (8/10)

  Loger à la Giudecca à Venise est toujours le meilleur choix qu'on puisse faire. Le lieu reste toujours à l'écart des principaux flots touristiques et donc d'un calme vraiment appréciable surtout quand on pense que l'île offre les vues les plus admirables sur la ville. À la Giudecca, l'énorme ensemble du Mulino Stucky (dont la moitié est occupée par l'hôtel Hilton) offre l'avantage d'un confort moderne.
  
  What could be improved: Pour le coup, l'appartement mériterait un rafraîchissement certain et par rapport à d'autres logements que j'ai pu habiter dans le même ensemble, celui là laissait un peu à désirer sur certains points de détail (porte de placard décrochée, équipement un peu limité ou en état vraiment usé : cafetière sans anse, pas de machine à café, machine à laver hors d'usage…). Il ne faudrait pas grand chose, mais au prix proposé, ça serait une bonne chose de faire cet effort…
