San Leonardo 2

Hotel Description

Nestled in the historic Cannaregio district of Venice, the 3-star San Leonardo 2 offers a charming retreat in one of Italy’s most enchanting cities. Located at 1531 Calle dei Colori 4, this highly-rated establishment boasts an impressive 8.5 guest rating, testifying to its exceptional service and comfortable accommodations. The Cannaregio neighborhood, Venice’s northernmost sestiere, provides a perfect balance of authentic Venetian atmosphere while remaining accessible to the city’s main attractions. Away from the most crowded tourist areas yet still within reach of Venice’s iconic landmarks, San Leonardo 2 gives guests the opportunity to experience the city like a local while enjoying the conveniences expected of a quality hotel.

The San Leonardo 2’s strategic position in Cannaregio offers guests a glimpse into authentic Venetian life. This district is known for its picturesque canals, including the Cannaregio Canal, and its historic Jewish Ghetto—the world’s first ghetto and a center of Jewish culture for centuries. Within walking distance, visitors can explore the magnificent Ca’ d’Oro palace on the Grand Canal, the Church of Madonna dell’Orto with its Tintoretto masterpieces, and the lively Fondamenta della Misericordia with its selection of restaurants and bars frequented by locals. The hotel’s location on Calle dei Colori places guests in a neighborhood rich with local color and character, while still offering convenient access to vaporetto water bus stops that connect to Saint Mark’s Square, the Rialto Bridge, and other major attractions. The Santa Lucia train station and Piazzale Roma (Venice’s gateway for buses and cars) are also within reasonable walking distance, making arrivals and departures stress-free compared to accommodations deeper in Venice’s labyrinthine center.

With its excellent 8.5 rating, San Leonardo 2 stands out among Venice’s mid-range accommodations, offering a blend of traditional Venetian charm and modern comforts. The hotel serves as an ideal base for both first-time visitors and returning travelers looking to deepen their exploration of Venice beyond the standard tourist routes. Guests particularly appreciate the quiet ambiance of the Cannaregio location, which provides a welcome respite after days spent navigating Venice’s busy main attractions. In a city where accommodation can often be prohibitively expensive or disappointingly cramped, San Leonardo 2 represents an excellent value proposition – a well-reviewed 3-star hotel that delivers on comfort, location, and authentic Venetian character. Whether you’re planning a romantic weekend, a cultural expedition, or a family vacation, San Leonardo 2 offers that rare combination of accessibility, comfort, and local flavor that makes for a truly memorable Venetian experience.

Reviews

• Syed from France – 4 March 2025 (9/10)

  Easy to find, brilliant location, clean and comfortable.

• Manoj from India – 2 February 2025 (8/10)

  The apartment is spacious and has all the amenities except the washing machine.
  
  What could be improved: You have to climb 4 floors of steep stairs.

• Cecile from United Kingdom – 25 November 2024 (9/10)

  The location was very easy to find, well located, clean and everything worked perfectly
  
  What could be improved: A little smell coming from the bathroom that was not really nice and the stair case could be a bit cleaner. Maybe also a more cosy lamp in the living could be nicer.

• Dennis from Ukraine – 14 March 2025 (9/10)

  Great location
  
  What could be improved: bed is not for 2 people its 2 separate beds merged together forming 1 big bed but as result it has gap in between
  mattress was not good as well

• Sam from United Kingdom – 19 February 2025 (8/10)

  Lovely spacious place nestled in a quiet spot of Venice, but also right by the main walkways to get about quickly. Everything you'd need for a short stay and the views of the canal were great!
  
  What could be improved: The caveat of having the great view was being on the top floor, which wasn't clear to us as we spent 15 minutes figuring that out the hard way! The stairs aren't the nicest of things so I wouldn't say it's very accessible. (I'm in my 20's so going up and down 4 flights of stairs didn't bother me much).
  
  The flickering lights in the apartment had me feeling like I was in a nightclub at times – the dimmer seemed to bug out quite a bit, but again, not too big an issue.
  
  I found an Iron, but to my knowledge, no ironing board, unless I missed this.
  
  Realised that the bed was 2 single beds together and, at times, decided to move apart trying to eat you.

• Meenakshisundaram from India – 4 October 2024 (8/10)

  Beautiful Apartment and fully loaded kitchen
  
  What could be improved: No response for messages sent to Mario. Follow up was required. Impolite language used. They can show more courtesy and help to guests.

• Malgorzata from Poland – 30 March 2025 (8/10)

  Urzekło mnie wspaniałe położenie i klimat obiektu. Wiekowa kamienica, dobrze wyposażone wnętrze. Pobyt tam uważam za bardzo udany, choć trudno było przegapić kurz w kątach podłogi i na mebli.
  
  What could be improved: Niedokładne odkurzanie.

• Carlos from Spain – 24 March 2025 (9/10)

  Fácil de llegar. Sitio muy acogedor y amplio. Recomendado!!

• Maryna from Poland – 8 February 2025 (9/10)

  Расположение, чистота, цена-качество!
  
  What could be improved: Не было микроволновой печи.. это минус для туристов! Отсутствовали какие-либо полотенца, тряпочки, салфетки.. на кухне, это очень неудобно для поддержания чистоты. Хотелось бы большего выбора ножей и досточку для нарезки ножом .. в остальном – все было чудесно!!!

• Pacale from France – 28 January 2025 (9/10)

  très bon emplacement, proche de toutes les commodités
