Locanda Ai Santi Apostoli Sul Canal Grande - Ferretti Hotels Collection

Locanda Ai Santi Apostoli Sul Canal Grande is housed in a 14th-century palazzo on the Grand Canal, a 5-minute walk from Rialto Bridge and 15 minutes from St. Mark's Square. The building retains original Venetian architectural details, including a stone courtyard and a small lift that rises to the third-floor reception. Guests can step out of the hotel directly onto the canal-side street, with the Rialto fish market and its fruit-and-flower stalls operating below the breakfast-room balcony.

The hotel has 11 rooms, each furnished with antique pieces and modern amenities such as air conditioning and soundproofed windows. Two Superior rooms offer direct views of the Grand Canal, while Standard rooms provide spacious layouts with private bathrooms and powerful showers. All rooms include a safety deposit box, key-card access, and a choice of pillows, with some family suites offering two separate bedrooms and a shared bathroom.

Breakfast is served in a lounge overlooking the Grand Canal, offering over 40 selections, including vegan and gluten-free options, ordered the night before on a personalized menu. Guests can enjoy the buffet from a balcony that looks directly onto the canal and the Rialto market, with fresh croissants, eggs, fruit, and yogurt included. Complimentary coffee, tea, and small cakes are available in the lounge throughout the day, and the hotel can arrange a takeaway breakfast for early departures.

The hotel has 11 rooms, which keeps the guest-to-staff ratio low, allowing receptionists such as Margo and Davide to offer personalized sightseeing advice and dinner reservations. Guests can enjoy afternoon drinks on the lounge balcony while watching boats on the Grand Canal, with the Rialto Bridge partially visible from the window. The building's small size and limited evening staff mean that after 8 PM there is no one at the desk, but the key-card system allows guests to come and go freely.
