The Hotel Gardena is a wonderful hotel situated in an ancient Venetian palace, just a few feet from the Grand Canal and a short walk to the Scuola di San Rocco and the Chiesa dei Frati. Originally built in the 1400s, the hotel was refurbished in 1996, with careful attention paid to balancing its Old World charm with modern conveniences. The Gardena has retained its unique architectural touches, such as wrought-iron balconettes and arched windows, and offers impeccable views over the Canale dei Tolentini and the Papadopoli gardens.
Guests will delight at the hotel's 22 clean, comfortable and personalized rooms, each individually decorated with Venetian paintings inspired by the works of Canaletto and Guardi. Aside from the unique décor, each room also offers A/C, direct-dial telephone, in-room safe, cable television, and private bath facilities with hair dryer. A delicious buffet breakfast, complimentary for guests, is served each morning in the hotel's lovely garden courtyard (weather permitting) or in a delightful breakfast room. The charming lounge and bar invite guests to relax in a peaceful and romantic setting, and an animated stretch of tourist shops and restaurants can be found just down the street. The Hotel Gardena is convenient to fine dining, shopping, and entertainment venues.
