We have just returned from a 5-night stay at the Bauer Palladio. It's probably the most unique and one of the loveliest hotels we've ever stayed at. A former convent built in 1500, the hotel has been modernized while keeping much of its Renaissance-era structure intact, and they've done a remarkable job of it. We had reserved the "standard" double... more

this is a great hotel for staying in Venice. Located on the island of Guidecca which is a short (5 minute) boat ride directly to St. Marks. The boat is free service provided by the hotel - runs all day and into the night. Hotel is luxury costing about 30% less than its peers located on San Marcos island. Big... more

We spent a long weekend in Venice (4 nights) recently and we choose to stay on the Giudecca island. This is the place to be, the most wonderful view on St Marco square, the traffic on the canal,.... The Palladio is close to the Cipriani, that's a reference. We stayed in one the suite (2 most expensive) and I must... more

Stayed at the bauer palladio for a family holiday to venice in April. We had 4 rooms, and the hotel gave us four rooms next to one another which was fantastic. We booked standard rooms, but they were huge, lovely spacious bathrooms too, and lots of little touches which gave it the true '5-star' feel... slippers, bathrobes etc. Everything about... more

Stayed at Bauer Palladio on a very sunny weekend at the end of March and had a brilliant experience. Let me first just say that the hotel was wonderful, I would recommend it to anyone visiting Venice. However it is definitely not 5*standard, more a good solid 4*, which is still very (very) good, but there is no point hiding... more

What a great hotel. We had a 4 day break to celebrate our 25th - our first visit to Venice. The hotel organised our transport from the airport (a shared taxi at 30 euros each well worth it). The hotel is a 5 minute boat trip across the lagoon and takes you away from the maddening crowds around San Marco.... more

Stayed at the Bauer Palladio about a year ago and absolutely loved it. We had a very rainy weekend in Venice and having such a lovely hotel to come back to made all the difference. The staff were charming, especially in the the bar/restaurant, and the hotel itself was beautifully renovated, We were upgraded to a suite with an enormous... more

This unpretentious hotel delivered on all levels for us. The price we paid was great for the refined grandeur of the Palladio. I'm a flight attendant and i stay in many 4* hotels and i can certainly see the difference between them and this 5*. Anything we asked for was provided without fuss and the hotel really had a feeling... more
