An opulent monastery in the Golden Age of Venice, this 600 year old property has been carefully refurbished into the delightful Hotel Abbazia, which is the 2nd highest rated 3 star hotel in Venice. Part of the ancient property was demolished to make room for Santa Luccia train station , which is a 150 yard walk from the hotel.. However, the original marble, gold friezes, mounted pulpit and other ancient artifacts have been retained as integral parts of the hotel's decor and ambience.

Although the historical integrity has been preserved, modern comforts are available in all rooms, including air conditioning, direct dial telephone, and satelite TV.

Hotel Abbazia is 30 minutes from Piazza San Marco by public water bus, which you will board immediately in front of the train station. Traveling nearly the entire length of the Grand Canal, this is the most beautiful commute on earth .

If you arrive or depart by plane, our water taxi will transfer you to and / or from the dock at Ponte Scalzi, which is a two block walk from Hotel Abbazia.
