Venezia Palazzo Barocci

Venezia Palazzo Barocci

8/10 Good
"Location was the best feature of this hotel. One staff member was fantastic but a few were largely unresponsive - asking questions were met with one word answers and like pulling teeth. Also, note that partial canal view means you’re on the ground floor - the room description does not say this. So be prepared for less privacy or keep your drapes shut which ultimately negates the value of that view itself"

"We were pleasantly surprised with a lovely upgrade to our room! The hotel rooms are wonderful. Very comfortable and quiet. The lagoon is right outside the front door and is stunning at all times of the day. It is a bit of a walk to the main square but easily doable."

10/10 Excellent
"We had a deluxe room and it was well worth paying a bit more. It was like a suite with a seating area then moving through to a bathroom on one side and a walk in shower on the other side then moving on into the bedroom. The hotel has lots of character and a beautiful garden where we enjoyed eating breakfast and having an aperitif with some lovely savoury snacks. The lounge area was very nicely decorated and comfortable. All the staff were very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was delicious. If we return to Venice we will definitely stay at this hotel again. It is so wonderfully located making it easy to get the train or the bus. There are lots of lovely restaurants nearby."

You'll often hear the term "heritage hotel" in Asia and Europe, while "historic hotel" is a term often used in the U.S. though overall the terms are quite similar. The architecture and actual building of historic hotels are generally the most significant aspect. For a heritage hotel, mainly, it's cultural value as well as how it inspired the community.
