Locanda Casa Querini

We just got back from our trip to Italy where we spent two nights at the Locanda Casa Querini. The location of the locanda could not have been better. It was accessible to everything and once we found it (see directions provided in other reviews), it was a cinch to return to each night. Staff was friendly and helpful. One tip: don't leave the windows open at night or the sounds of mosquitoes will wake you up!

We stayed at Locanda Casa Querini at the end of August 2005. The hotel was found for us by a friend living in Venice as we were anxious to be somewhere peaceful yet central.

There is also a great restaurant at the end of the nearby street. Very friendly staff and would... more

We stayed in the "Annex", a separate building two doors down from the main hotel where the reception is. It was very nice, with a plesant breakfast area but an average breakfast. The attractive room was a double with two windows looking over the small plaza below and one looking out into a passageway. The room was the largest one (with windows) in that building and was very spacious with a modern bathroom. The location is quite near San Marco which is good and bad (bad because San Marco is mobbed with tourists like us). The room... more
