Palazzo Guardi

An amenable B&B facility with restricted communal areas. May suit those seeking an authentic Venetian B&B base within 100 yds of the start of a plethora of museums and galleries.

The tiny lift from the building's entrance provides room for only one person and so those who need assistance may find the 3rd-floor location awkward.

Exterior

A pair of similar style buildings with a plain typical pink-coloured frontage, small windows and a tiny easily missed main entrance to the main building. The initial impression suggests little of the property's reference to a palace.

Location

Area Type: In a calm, narrow alley, off a pleasant canal in the Dorsoduro district with a variety of everyday residences all around. There is little in the way of tourist amenities in the immediate vicinity but there is a good supply of snack bars, shops and restaurants near the Accademia Bridge which is located 200 yds away. Accademia water bus stop 200 yds.
