Locanda Vivaldi ★★★★
At one time the palace where Vivaldi lived and created his music , this property has a perfect position directly facing the Grand Canal just a few minutes ’ walk from St . Mark ’ s Square . It features a seasonal restaurant on the top floor and the view of the Grand Canal is stunning ! If view is important — and in Venice it should be — this hotel has it ! There is a water taxi entrance between the two buildings that comprise the hotel . Rooms are comfortable and service here is truly welcoming . Public boat stops are close by , and here ’ s a nice bonus — guests may request a complimentary , one-way transfer on the hotel ’ s private boat to or from its sister property , Hotel Santa Chiara near the train station .
