ANTICA LOCANDA STURION RESIDENZA D'EPOCA, Venice – A Smart Stay in the City
About the Hotel
Historic Canal Accommodations
Antica Locanda Sturion occupies the third floor of a 13th-century building with no elevator, originally one of 24 historic inns established by the Venetian Republic. Rooms feature views of Venetian rooftops or calli streets, while two Junior Suites offer direct views of the Grand Canal and Rialto Bridge. All accommodations include air conditioning, free WiFi, flat-screen TVs with satellite channels, minibars, and tea/coffee makers. Private bathrooms contain showers or bathtubs, bidets, and free toiletries.
Grand Canal Breakfast
Breakfast is served in a room overlooking the Grand Canal, offering Italian/Continental options with daily fruit from Rialto Market. Gluten-free products are available on request. The space converts to a tea and reading room each afternoon, providing complimentary tea selections. No onsite restaurants exist, but the Rialto Market and surrounding eateries like Bistrot de Venise are within walking distance.
Venetian Cultural Immersion
The hotel maintains a multilingual library focused on Venetian history, art, and architecture. Guests witness local events like the January Regata delle Befane (Epiphany Regatta) and the November 21 Madonna della Salute festival. The building appears in Jacopo de Barbari's 15th-century map and Vittore Carpaccio's paintings at Accademia Gallery.
