“An exceptional hotel that combines the charm of Venice with comfort, stunning views, and an unbeatab”
We had an excellent stay and would highly recommend this hotel. The location is outstanding, just a short 250-meter walk from St. Mark’s Square, while still offering a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. The hotel is also conveniently accessible by water taxi, which makes arriving and departing very easy. One of the hotel’s standout features is its beautiful terrace overlooking the canal, providing the perfect setting to unwind and enjoy the unique charm of Venice. Breakfast is served on the second floor, where guests can enjoy a stunning balcony with picturesque canal views. The breakfast selection was varied, fresh, and of high quality, offering something for every taste. Our room was exceptionally spacious for Venice standards and comfortably accommodated three people, with plenty of room for luggage and relaxation. The combination of the excellent location, beautiful surroundings, spacious accommodation, and attentive service made our stay truly memorable. We would gladly stay here again on our next visit to Venice.

“Loved our stay at the Dona Palace!”
Reception staff are all so friendly and helpful. The breakfast was very good. Plenty of choice with excellent breads in particular. The breakfast staff were also very friendly and helpful. Location for all the sights of Venice is excellent yet the room was quiet. Beds comfortable and room size good.
