San Lorenzo Garden

Hotel Description

Welcome to the exquisite San Lorenzo Garden, a charming three-star haven nestled in the heart of Venice’s historic Castello district. This exceptional establishment has earned an outstanding 9.2 rating from satisfied guests, placing it among the most highly-regarded accommodations in the City of Canals. Located at Sestiere Castello 5067, this boutique hotel offers the perfect blend of Venetian authenticity and modern comfort, all within a serene garden setting that provides a refreshing contrast to the bustling city streets.

The San Lorenzo Garden enjoys a privileged position in the Castello sestiere, one of Venice’s most authentic neighborhoods, where you can experience local life away from the tourist crowds while remaining conveniently close to major attractions. Just a short stroll from the hotel, you’ll discover the magnificent Basilica di San Giovanni e Paolo, one of Venice’s largest churches and the traditional burial place of the city’s doges. The world-famous St. Mark’s Square (Piazza San Marco) and its breathtaking basilica are approximately a 10-minute walk away, making this hotel an ideal base for exploring Venice’s most treasured landmarks. The nearby Fondamente Nove waterbus stop provides easy access to the enchanting islands of Murano, Burano, and Torcello, allowing guests to experience the full spectrum of Venetian lagoon life. The hotel’s strategic location in Castello also places you close to the Arsenale, a historic shipyard that now serves as one of the primary venues for the prestigious Venice Biennale art exhibition.

What truly sets the San Lorenzo Garden apart, as reflected in its exceptional 9.2 rating, is its commitment to providing a tranquil retreat within the medieval maze of Venice. The hotel takes its name from its most distinctive feature—a lush, private garden where guests can relax with a morning cappuccino or evening aperitivo, a rare luxury in space-constrained Venice. Rooms at this three-star gem strike the perfect balance between traditional Venetian elegance and contemporary comfort, many offering charming views of the garden or the characteristic narrow streets of Castello. The attentive staff, praised consistently in guest reviews, offer personalized recommendations for exploring the city like a local, from hidden bacari (wine bars) serving delicious cicchetti (Venetian tapas) to less-traveled canals where you can admire the city’s unique architecture without the crowds. Families, couples, and solo travelers alike appreciate the hotel’s intimate atmosphere and excellent value, often citing it as a highlight of their Venetian experience. With its exceptional rating, enviable location, and distinctive character, the San Lorenzo Garden provides not just accommodation but an authentic gateway to the true essence of Venice, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the romance and history of this extraordinary floating city.

Reviews

• Anja from United Kingdom – 3 May 2024 (10/10)

  The flat is wonderfully bright, very clean, spacious and quiet, very well equipped for cooking meals from the nearby Rialto market and the supermarket around the corner. We felt very well looked after and informed by Riccardo, the son of the landlady. Being next to the beautiful, atmospheric piazza and very interesting Ocean Space is an extra treat. We can‘t wait to come back.

• Catherine from France – 16 March 2025 (10/10)

  l'emplacement dans le quartier de Castelo était top avec un petit supermarché juste derrière. Le logement est au calme et à 10 min à pied de San Marco. Nous avons été accueillis en français par Giulio qui nous a conseillé quelques spot de visite. L'appartement est d'une propreté irréprochable plutôt vaste et la literie est impeccable.
  L'accès est clair et facile. un séjour parfait .

  Le contact avec les propriétaires qui sont très aimables et leurs suggestions, leur disponibilité. La localisation de l'appartement et sa sécurité (3 portes différentes et 3 verrous différents).

• Sylviane from France – 18 February 2025 (9/10)

  L'accueil, les équipements et la taille de l'appartement.
  Dommage qu'il n'y ait pas de lave-vaisselle.
