Perfect Location , a class cleanliness, modern and comfortable. Grand Canal view with balcony with table and chairs .
Kitchen is more for light cooking but should be more than enough for traveler. AC was working but honestly the natural air was way better.

The room was tidy, clean, and comfortable during our stay. The receptionist was very helpful and took the time to give us useful information about the Carnival events, which we really appreciated. The location was perfect, very easy to get to, and made getting around Venice simple.

Absolute perfect location! We were in Venice for 3 nights and couldn't be happier with our stay.
Firstly, the location was only a 10 minute walk from St. Lucia train station and secondly the water bus stop was literally right outside our apartment window. The space itself was immaculately clean. Messaging with the owners was simple and prompt.
If ever we get the chance to return to Venice, we will definitely be staying at Palazzina Riva. A true gem of Venice.

Perfect holiday
The Rialto Bridge is a 15-minute walk away, so I enjoyed my morning walk there. There were also delicious restaurants nearby, which was very helpful on tiring evenings walking around the city.

The property is perfectly located right on the canal, directly in front of the waterbus stop, and just a short walk from the main train station. The room was spacious, well appointed, and very quiet. Check-in was smooth and straightforward. Getting around couldn’t have been easier with the waterbus right at the doorstep — a great base for exploring the city.

Love the location which is just a 10 to 15 min walk with luggage from the train station. The water bus stop is a few steps from the hotel door.

The hotel itself is beautiful, stylish, and very well maintained. The atmosphere feels elegant but still comfortable, making it a great place to relax after exploring the city.
The location is truly excellent! Right in the heart of Venice, making it easy to walk everywhere and soak in the canals, shops, and restaurants nearby. It felt like the perfect base for discovering the city.
Overall, a fantastic stay in a stunning hotel with a super convenient location. I’d definitely come back!

The apartment was amazing. There was plenty of room for a family of 4 and all of the space was nice! The apartment was nicely updated with modern amenities and also can stocked with drink and snacks. Our only negative was that the bathtub was dirty but otherwise the rest of the apartment was very clean.

This place is amazing , super convenience if you are traveling on train or plain, it is on one of the main canals , very easy if you are carrying luggage’s , lots of stuff to do around the hotel area . Very clean and beautiful. The design it’s a 5 star , very modern.
If I comeback to Venice definitely staying again here.
The staff person was amazing, she accommodated us an extra night on a different room for half a day to accommodate my 80 year old mother so she can rest before our very early flight. Thank you again for the amazing experience ..
