Hotel Olimpia Venice, BW Signature Collection 3sup
Historic Venetian charm with a private garden and canal views
About this hotel
Experience Venetian charm in a 16th-century building, located in the historic heart of Venice. The hotel offers a serene escape with its private garden, a rare find in the city. Rooms are thoughtfully decorated with authentic 18th-century Venetian furniture, while a contemporary Junior Suite provides a modern alternative. Many accommodations offer scenic views over a small, tranquil canal. The location is ideal for exploring, just a five-minute walk from the iconic Grand Canal, the Basilica dei Frari, and Piazzale Roma, making arrivals and departures straightforward.
- Historic 16th-century building
- Private garden oasis
- Canal-view rooms available
- Central Venice location
Our take
A fine fit for travelers who want historic Venetian atmosphere with modern comfort, especially those who value a private garden oasis. The central location makes the city easy to explore on foot and gives easy access to transport hubs. Most rooms keep a classic look, so I would book the Junior Suite for a more contemporary style. Guests wanting a large pool or several dining options should look elsewhere.
- If a modern aesthetic is important, explicitly request the Junior Suite for its contemporary decor.
- Take advantage of the private garden for a quiet moment away from the bustling Venetian streets.
- Plan your walks to the Grand Canal and Basilica dei Frari, both just a short, scenic stroll away.

Why guests love itA private garden is rare in Venice, and Hotel Olimpia Venice has one inside its 16th-century building, a calm place for children after crowded lanes. Rooms carry 18th-century Venetian furniture, a modern Junior Suite offers more space, and some rooms overlook a small canal. Piazzale Roma is about five minutes on foot, which makes arriving with luggage far easier than in most of the city, and the Grand Canal and the Basilica dei Frari are equally close. With 1,959 reviews averaging 9.3, I recommend it.
