Residenza Della Spada, Venice Overview
Residenza Della Spada is located in Venice, Italy. Rated 2.0 out of 10 based on 1 guest reviews.
Residenza Della Spada is a small Venice, Italy guesthouse on San Marco 4890, putting you within easy reach of the city’s most photographed corners. With only four guestrooms, the stay feels intimate rather than hotel-like, and the garden view can add a calmer counterpoint to the bustle outside. Check-in is limited to 3:00 PM–8:00 PM, and the front desk operates on limited hours, so planning your arrival window matters.
The rooms are set up for straightforward comfort, with free WiFi, cable TV, and private bathrooms that include complimentary toiletries and bidets. Express check-in and express check-out are available, which can help if you’re moving quickly between Venice’s sights and transport connections. There’s also a common area where coffee or tea is provided, useful for a low-key start before you head out.
In terms of real-world feedback, the guest rating is 2/10 based on 1 review, so you should treat this as a low-confidence choice and consider reaching out with specific questions before committing. If you’re the kind of traveler who values quiet pacing and doesn’t need a full-service reception, you may find the setup workable. If you prefer consistent, well-reviewed hospitality or flexible arrival support, you may want to compare alternatives.
For sightseeing, St. Mark’s Square is about 1.1 km away, St. Mark’s Basilica around 1.2 km, and the Doge’s Palace roughly 1.2 km, with the Rialto Bridge about 1.4 km from the property. Residenza Della Spada is best for solo explorers or couples who plan to spend most of their time walking the historic center and want a simple base in San Marco.
