Hotel San Cassiano is set in the heart of Venice, on the edge of the Canal Grande, with this 14th-century palace representing the epitome of medieval splendour.

A stay at the Hotel San Cassiano is to dip into the regal grandeur that was 14th century Venice. The property’s entrance – once home to painter Giacomo Favretto and other nobles over the centuries - can be reached either with a leisurely walk through the lanes of this extraordinary city or by boat, adding a little fun your arrival. Once inside, nods toward those ‘times of old’ come in the form of traditional marble floors, ancient-looking tapestries and carved wooden furniture, all touches which create an authentic charm during any stay.

About Hotel San Cassiano

Though some of the guestroom interior is relatively modest, with at-times simple furnishings and lacking one or two high-end mod-cons, this fact is more than made up for through a décor scheme of rich colours, Murano Glass chandeliers, silk wall hangings and discreetly placed antiques - paying homage to the lavish lifestyle associated with this building over the centuries-past. The Hotel enjoys a quiet location close to the Rialto Bridge and Piazza San Marco, convenient for all the must-see sights and feeling every bit a part of the essential Venetian landscape in the process. With a charming patio and respectable breakfast restaurant, Hotel San Cassiano ticks a lot of boxes, though its main draw is a great location and intriguing history, found through its long association with former Venetian nobility.

Latest Updates

New Schengen entry requirements (planned for November 2024 onwards)

From November 2024, the new EU Entry/Exit System (EES) will start for all non-EU nationals, including British nationals, travelling in or out of the Schengen area. The Schengen area is made up of 29 European countries, 25 of which are EU Member States. The EES is a digital border system which registers non-EU visitors travelling into the Schengen area instead of stamping their passports.

You will need to have your fingerprints and your photo taken when entering the Schengen area. If you enter the Schengen area through Dover, Eurotunnel at Folkestone or St Pancras International, your fingerprints and photo will be taken before you leave the UK. You will also need to provide either your fingerprint or photo on exit.

You may experience longer queues at borders when the new system starts.

Passport Validity

To enter Europe, your passport must have:

a date of issue less than 10 years before the date you arrive – if you renewed your passport before 1 October 2018, it may have a date of issue that is more than 10 years ago
an expiry date at least 3 months after the day you plan to leave
at least one blank page for stamping
