Pensione Seguso in Venice

Show description from: activehotels diytravel octopustravel

We began our activity during the World War One when a friend of the family, then consul of England, had the good idea to transform the palace where we lived into a Pension to give hospitality to the numerous tourists who came to visit Venice. In the beginning our clientele was prevalently from England, but quickly the Pension was well known and now we have guests from all over the world. The Pension has our surname and maintains its traditional character so you can be sure of a warm and friendly welcome whenever you stay. We hope to carry on the family tradition for a long time.

Charming hotel, run by the same family that converted its own home in hotel at the beginning of the XX century. Due to the delicacy and preciousness of the furnishings this hotel is suitable for guests who appreciate history and antiques. This hotel is definitely of a superior standard. MS 09/05

This hotel enjoys a unique sunny location, on the Zattere side, overlooking the Giudecca Island and the large Giudecca Canal. San Marco is only 1 stop away by boat or a pleasant 15-minute walk through the Calli of Venice. Close by there is the Academia of Arts and the Guggenheim Collection Museum. The area is quiet and trendy with many amenities and typical shops which are influenced by the many artists that go around that area.

Most of the rooms of this ancient house have external bathrooms, one bathroom to every one or two rooms, due to the fact that the building is an historical property and must be preserved. All the rooms boast a full or partial view of the lagoon and are furnished with antiques which are part of the heritage of the Seguso family. Quad rooms boast a fantastic view over the Giudecca Canal with its beautiful churches and typical Venetian houses and palaces.

There is a good and charming restaurant which serves breakfast, lunch or dinner to the guests only.

The lobby is very small and gives access to the restaurant and to a cosy and intimate seating area. Everywhere you find pieces of art and testimonies of history.
