Residenza Ca' San Marco Hotel - Venice

14th-century monastery turned 6-room residence, steps from St. Mark's Square in Venice

History & Setting

Residenza Ca' San Marco occupies a building that served as a monastery in the 1300s and later as the home of Venetian playwright Carlo Goldoni. The residence sits on a narrow Venetian street overlooking a small canal, providing a quiet retreat within a 5-minute walk of St. Mark's Square and the Rialto Bridge. Its historical layers-from monastic origins to literary heritage-set it apart from other lodgings in the San Marco district.

Rooms & Suites

Only six private en-suite rooms are available at this residence, each decorated with Venetian-style wallpaper and either wood or carpeted floors. The Junior Suite with Balcony and Canal View offers a private balcony overlooking the canal where gondolas pass. All rooms include air conditioning, an LCD TV, and a minibar, with heating and daily housekeeping provided.

Dining & Breakfast

A traditional Italian breakfast of coffee and croissants is served each morning, showcasing local flavors. Guests can take breakfast in the common area or have it delivered to their room, a flexibility noted by past families. The residence is surrounded by popular shops, cafés, and restaurants within San Marco, offering many dining options steps away.

Services & Amenities

The property provides concierge services for local dining tips and sightseeing assistance, plus a 24/7 multilingual staff. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout, and ironing facilities can be requested. Safety features include fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, key card access, and a safety deposit box in each room.

Location & Nearby Attractions

The residence is a 5-minute walk from both St. Mark's Square and the Rialto Bridge, placing guests next to Doge's Palace, La Fenice Opera House, and the Bell Tower of San Marco. The narrow street location keeps the guesthouse quiet even though it is minutes from Venice's busiest landmarks. Nearby water-bus stops allow easy access to the airport and other islands.
