Locanda Vivaldi

Originally the home of the famous composer Antonio Vivaldi, this ancient building is ideally located in front of the lagoon and only few steps from St. Mark's Square.

Locanda Vivaldi Hotel is just on the right of the conservatory Ospedale della Pietà, where a lot of Vivaldi's compositions, including The Four Seasons, were first performed. The hotel has been renovated to create a modern and intimate establishment, offering excellent facilities.

Situated in the heart of Venice, in Riva degli Schiavoni, the hotel stands in front of St Mark's Basin and is a short walk from the famous Square, an open-air theatre of the artistic and cultural life of the city. The magnificent views from the hotel sweep from the columns of St Mark's Square to the Customs Point (Punta della Dogana), from the Island of Giudecca with the nearby Island of San Giorgio, up to Lido of Venice.

The hotel's small restaurant is on the rooftop terrace, overlooking Saint Mark's Basin. The cuisine is based on fish specialities. It is exclusively for Locanda Vivaldi's guests.

The rooms are decorated following the rules of the Venetian style and tradition. Precious wall fabrics, curtains and drapes, oriental carpets, stuccos, gildings, Murano glass and vases, chandeliers and appliqués created by glassblowing Venetian masters, enrich the rooms. Modern amenities make them even more welcoming.

Superior rooms overlook the lagoon; standard rooms overlook a small canal or the courtyard.

The restaurant is open seasonally from May to October.
