Hotel Flora

Hotel Flora occupies a 17th-century building set back from Calle Larga XXII Marzo in San Marco, a five-minute walk from Piazza San Marco, and has been run by the same Romanelli family for more than sixty years across three generations. The hotel's defining feature is its walled garden courtyard, cultivated by the family for decades and used for breakfast and afternoon tea, an unusually green and quiet space this close to San Marco's crowds. Rooms are offered in Classic, Superior, Deluxe, and Family categories, individually decorated with antique-style furniture and fabric wall coverings, with some rooms overlooking the garden directly. There is no restaurant beyond breakfast, which is served in the garden in good weather, and no spa or pool, keeping the property in the small, family-run hotel category despite its central location. The San Marco setting places Piazza San Marco, Calle Larga XXII Marzo's shopping, and the San Marco-Vallaresso vaporetto stop all within a few minutes' walk. Service reflects the family ownership, with staff offering detailed, personal recommendations for restaurants and lesser-known sights, and the hotel is frequently cited by return visitors as a favorite for its garden and consistent, warm hospitality over decades.
