Historic Venetian Mansions

Messner Palace consists of three 18th-century Venetian mansions facing Rio della Fornace canal. Rooms feature Murano crystal chandeliers, damask fabrics, and antique mirrors. All accommodations include high-speed Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, air conditioning, and safety boxes. Some rooms offer views of the garden or canal.

Traditional Venetian Cuisine

The on-site restaurant serves seasonal Venetian and Friulan specialties, including meat, fish, and vegetarian dishes. Meals are available in the air-conditioned dining hall or the heated garden with private canal dock. The wine list features regional selections. International breakfast includes sweet and savory options.

Complimentary Gondola Service

Guests receive one free Gondola ticket per person for transport to St. Mark's Square via Grand Canal. The property features a private pier for water access. A top-class gym is located steps from the hotel.

Dorsoduro District Location

Located in Dorsoduro, 1 minute from Santa Maria della Salute Church, 3 minutes from Peggy Guggenheim Collection, and 5 minutes from Accademia Galleries. St. Mark's Square is 10 minutes on foot or 3 minutes by Gondola. Direct water links connect to Santa Lucia Train Station and Marco Polo Airport.

Comprehensive Guest Services

Services include multilingual staff (Italian, English, French, Spanish, German), currency exchange, luggage storage, laundry, and portable Wi-Fi devices. The Art Advisor arranges guided tours and event tickets. The property is wheelchair accessible and welcomes pets.

“Messner Palace has a desirable spot in the Dorsoduro area, within walking distance of St Mark's Square, and offers a complimentary gondola ticket, a unique Venetian touch. However, some reports mention issues with cleanliness and inconsistent service, worth considering alongside the historical character and advantageous location. I think the charm of a restored mansion with canal-side dining might appeal to some, but it's essential to weigh the potential downsides.”
