To be honest: Writing too much about this gem isn't clever, but let's put any egotistic thought aside ... Just returned from Venice, had again a magnificent stay at Casa Uscoli. If you are bored with standardized luxury hotels this might be your call: This place IS Venice. Owner Alejandro de Bethencourt renovated the old palazzo at the canale grande... More

First of all, when you read their website, you see luxury and exclusive. The place has nothing luxurious and the exclusive thing is the view and location. If you are regular Sheraton/Hyatt/Westin-goer, just don't waste your time and do not read and think about this place at all. What you get there is perfect location and tremendous view over Grand...

This was my second visit to the Casa de Uscoli....it was as good as the first time.....minimally furnished elegance in a perfect, often overlooked sestier of Venice. As you walk home, you can hear the music students in the next door academy tuning their instruments....In the morning, you drink your coffee in a salon overlooking the Grand Canal watching the...

The most beautiful, luxury B&B we've ever stayed in. Very tasty furnishings, grand rooms and lovely service. You will not find any better views onto the Canale Grande in this price category. The attention to detail of the interior is just splendid. Quiet, central and beautiful. Will come back here anytime. More

Amazing location, a real pleasure to be a guest at Casa Uscoli, Alejandro and his charm makes you feel part of a very special place. Very tasteful interior design, authentic terrazzo floors, minimal intervention with chosen modern furniture and art pieces, great atmosphere, trully romantic,...We cannot think of staying somewhere else next time we are in Venice. Pleasure for the... More

We were so very pleased with this accommodation. Probably the most original place I've stayed.....as it seems you're staying in more of a home or something...hard to explain...just stay there and you'll see. Very unique, super cool. For those of you that have been to Venice, you will know how important it was to have our host (can't remember his... More

Casa de Uscoli provides a unique taste of life in Venice. The 15th century palazzo is extremely charming and overlooks the breathtaking Grand Canal. The rooms are very large and feature a mix of traditional Venetian and modern furnishings. You'll find beautiful art, large vases filled with sweetly scented flowers and lots of interesting reading material. For a real home... More

This is a private home so you will not see any signs etc. Make sure you let Alejandro know when and what time you will arrive so that he can assist you. Once your there, it's a wonderful experience and the staff is more than accommodating. More

With a staff that's virtually invisible and so few rooms, we felt as though we were in our own palazzo. It was very quiet, very private...and very perfect. We stayed in an extra large and exquisite suite facing the canal. Shuttered windows, gondolas tethered below--it was picture perfect Venice. The palazzo is beautifully and thoughtfully decorated. Terrazzo floors throughout and... More
