In the crowded madness of Venice, a family and romantic old fashioned place , cozy, warm, charming , close to all but not too close,run by Diego and Gabriel ,who love what they do, give it all -kindness and accomodate all your needs. Rooms are small but clean, decorated in Venetian style , breakfast is excellent and variety of food given, no street noise !
We had a lovely stay at the Fontana Hotel, location was perfect close to St Marks Square the grand canal. The staff at the Fontana where excellent and very helpful, Diago thank you for all the info amazing local knowledge. Thank you all.
The staff really are the best part of staying at Hotel Fontana. Friendly, welcoming and happy to engage and recommend their favourite spots. Couldnt be happier with our stay everything you want walkable distance.
This Hotel is situated perfectly for enjoying Venice. It is just a short walk from the Grande Canal. The manager Gabriel was very helpful and the room with a view of San Zaccharia church was very comfortable and clean. Breakfast at 12EU was a great bargain. Everything you could expect in Italy and more. The restaurant (Roberto) across the street is excellent as well. Book it directly with the hotel for the best price.
Great location for exploring the wonderful Venice and so convenient for getting from and to the water taxi’s. Plus a nice little bar next door! Staff at the hotel very friendly and helpful. Not a modern hotel but nice, it was clean and has character, I found the beds to be comfy. I would recommend this hotel.
Amazing hotel...close to all the must sees in Venice....but far enough away to feel quaint...hotel has been in the same family for generations...close to resturants...would definitely recommend...if you're planning a trip to Venice.

Great location to explore venice. Close to attractions yet maintain local atmosphere. Good places to eat nearby.
Nice little hotel, very warm welcome. Hotel is very well located, at a stone's throw from San Marco and the Palazzo Ducale. Great place to stay with many dining options nearby.
A lovely family run hotel, right in the heart of Venice but still maintaining a small and intimate feel.
The breakfast is great, beds are comfy and the AC is a lifesaver, particularly in the summer. I would happily recommend this hotel to anyone for either short or long term stays.
Great hotel very accessible to all major attractions in Venice. Staff was very friendly and helpful with all our requests. Great neighborhood with plenty of cafes and dining options!
