“Hotel Santa Chiara's location is a definite plus, especially for those arriving in Venice by train or car, as private parking is a real find here. The building's history as a monastery adds character, and I suspect many will appreciate the rooftop terrace for its views. In my opinion, this hotel balances convenience with a taste of Venetian history.”
