If designer chic or cutting edge minimalism turn you cold and prefer the warmth and comfort of something slightly more classic, the 16th century Hotel Casa Verardo could be just for you.

There are two great advantages to this hotel; its position just behind St. Mark’s Square (200 metres behind) and its position on the edge of one of the more residential, authentic quarters. If that sounds contradictory, it’s not. Venice does get crowded and the area north of St. Mark’s towards the Rialto or west to the Accademia are indeed packed with people.

However, just like the wind, if you step even a little bit out of the breeze you can find a wonderful sheltered oasis and that’s exactly what the Casa Verardo is. Over 400 years of history packed into a Venetian aristocratic family palazzo, the hotel features a wonderful courtyard, a kind of summer living room where the staff put out comfy sofas and chairs, a lovely way to relax when you need to take the weight off your feet, relax and read a book or try a glass of the local Tocai. Aside from the courtyard the hotel has a further two terraces, one of which is set up for breakfast when the weather is fine, allowing you to take the first cappuccino in true style and make the most of that wonderful Venetian light.

Back on the inside, the rooms are both classical and a little flamboyant. Of course this is Venice so don’t expect huge great chambers; comfort and a simple elegance are the key here.

But what to do when you’re not in the rooms? That perhaps is the great beauty of the Casa Verardo, it’s position is hard to beat right in the centre of Venice yet tucked into its own little hideaway.
