Palazzo Abadessa – Residenza D Epoca

My wife and I stayed here recently for a few days.
The hotel is in an old palazzo dating from the late 1500’s. There are 15 guest rooms. The staff is very friendly and accommodating, with a good command of english, for the most part. There is a charming little garden.
The hotel has its own dock, which is very important if you are arriving with luggage– no need to haul it from the water taxi or Vaporetto stop, as I saw many poor souls doing. The location is good.
Our room was probably one of the more modest ones, but it was fine. Staying in an older hotel usually means fewer electrical outlets than one might like, no modern desk and chair, etc. There is good free wi-​fi (Yes!), modern bathrooms etc. There is no ice machine, but the staff will give you a bucket of ice upon request. The hotel has a good breakfast spread. There is a complementary bottle of Prosecco and fruit to greet you.
The staff did make one mistake in calling the wrong water taxi when we were leaving, and that meant we had to pay again, even though we had a pre-​paid voucher. When we wrote them about it and sent a copy of the receipt, they apologized and paid for it without argument. It was the right thing to do and they did it.
If I am fortunate enough to return to Venice, I would happily stay here again.
