Charming Hotel with Great Location

We had the good fortune to spend one night in this hotel arriving in the midst of high tides and an incredible downpour. We were able to check-in before noon, which was really appreciated as we were soaked to the bone. We arrived by water shuttle drop-off right beside the Piazza San Marco. Luckily there are a couple of ways to get to the hotel from this point so we were able to find a street that was not flooded. The hotel also has canal access so if you're using a water taxi you won't have to haul your luggage through the streets. The hotel enjoys an excellent location close to a multitude of designer shops, yet it was quiet. The old Venetian interiors were charming and added to the overall experience.

A good adress

This hotel has been recommanded by friends and we were very happy of our choice. The room was very clean and very pleasant we appreciated very much fresh flowers the location great merci from paris

We loved it!! October 2003

We loved this hotel! It's clean with lots of charm. The location is very convenient as well. Most of all, the hotel itself and the staff were so warm & welcoming. We recommend it with no regrets and are typically pretty picky on hotels. Stay there - you'll love it!

Superlative service and location

My wife and I just returned from a five night stay at this wonderful hotel. The service from the staff was quite exceptional, especially the concierge. The restaurant, La Caravella, features a fine menu that is made all the more enjoyable by superlative service. Our room was spacious and comfortable. Only suggestion, if you want to avoid street noises, ask for a room not facing the front.

Excellent off season deal!

My husband and I have just returned from a three night stay in Venice at the Saturnia. I have to say that my booking was made on the recommendation of many of the reviews on this site, and I'm happy to say we were not in the least disappointed. We took advantage of the "deal" on the internet and had 3 nights for just under 600 Euros. The rate included flowers on arrival (ok, so what, but a nice touch) a bottle of Prosecco (getting better!) and a three course dinner including wine at La Caravello (wonderful!!!). The room was upgraded to a Superior and had two windows overlooking the canal which as first time tourists here, fulfilled our desire to see water! The room was beautifully decorated in antique venetian style with a larger than kingsize bed, parquet floor etc. Hotel staff were lovely, and really tried to assist in recommending sights, restaurants etc. Our meal was exceptional-on the internet the restaurant had looked rather twee, but actually inside it was cosy and intimate. The food was superb (a fish lover's paradise) and we were shocked to realise that had we been paying, the bill wouldn't have been less that 150 euros probably far more-quite a generous gesture on behalf of Mangement. Anyway, enough!

Nice people

I would agree with the other reviews regarding the amazing staff. Very friendly and helpful. My very clean room was small and the décor was plain. I recommend asking for a room away from the street because its pretty noisy at night. Although the room was not super luxurious, it was a good value for the money.

Great location and great service!

We stayed at the Saturnia for 2-nites (Oct 31-Nov 1, 03). The location was great - very close to San Marco Square. The front desk desk service was superior. The concierge especially made our visit there very pleasant. The room was bigger than expected for Venice and the bathroom modern and clean. The breakfast was the best of 3 hotels that we stayed while in Italy. The restaurant, La Caravelle, while noted in many travel books, was really expensive and the food just ok. The hotel offers what seems to be an attractive, free trip to Murano. You are taken to a specific glass factory that gives you the hard sell to buy their very expensive, although beautiful, products. So, unless you want people speaking about you in Italian right in front of you, for not buying anything, skip it the trip. Otherwise, it's a great hotel and I would stay there again.

4 Star Hotel, Deserves 4+

As a woman traveling alone, I appreciated everything about the Saturnia International Hotel. The minute I walked in, the concierge greeted me with a map and excellent directions to all the sights of the city. I was in town for the film festival, which meant arriving back at the hotel at some late hours, but the security was great and I always felt safe. The hotel is in a prime location, just a VERY short walk from St.
