The tranquil neighbourhood. Venice is a fairy-tale of a city with palaces, cathedrals and museums to take your breath away. In our neighbourhood you can get your breath back again. It's a place where you can escape the noise and bustle, experience genuine local life, and feel refreshed. This is a neighbourhood of true tranquillity. At the heart of the neighbourhood is Hotel Indigo® Venice - Sant'Elena, a converted 1930s monastery where a peaceful inner sanctuary offers further respite from the bustle. Our neighbours include the elegant red-brick Gothic church of Sant'Elena, built by Augustinian monks in the 11th century and known for its lofty landmark belltower.

Lovely hotel with friendly staff, in a quiet residential location (although match-days would be interesting, with the hotel being neighbours with Venezia FC). Being away from the main tourist areas gives you the chance to choose different walking routes through to the central areas, to see more of the islands (although there is also a waterbus stop just a couple of minutes from the front door, too). Our standard room on the ground floor had everything you’d need and was a great place to come back to. The bar and dining room is beautifully designed (and the breakfasts were great). Would highly recommend this as a base to see Venice and the surrounding islands.

Hotel's Favourite
Hotel situated in a quiet residential location of Venice with minutes walk from water bus stop. Warm friendly and efficient welcome from Carolina on check in. Hotel spotlessly clean with very quirky décor. Stayed in a Garden Room which was perfect for our stay, with a simple but beautiful garden to enjoy. Breakfast had plenty of choice and was well presented. Hotel is walking distance to Grand Canal then onto St Marks Square with lovely picturesque scenery along the way to enjoy a Goldala ride with a tour from a friendly Gondalier giving a little history of Venice. Lots of beautiful places to dine and enjoy a nice chilled Aperol Spritz. Would definitely recommend this hotel if visiting Venice and will definitely be returning.

My husband and I have just come back following a week's stay here at Hotel Indigo Sant'Elena, and we loved it! The hotel was perfect for us and was in such a beautiful, quiet area. It was lovely to see and experience the more residential side of Venice, as well as the smaller local shops. It's worth noting that the hotel is right next to the Venice Football Stadium, so it was noisy / busier on match day, but it added to the experience. The staff were all lovely and friendly, and the hotel was immaculate. Although our room was on the smaller side, it was perfect, and the decor was lovely. Everything was very fresh and modern, and Housekeeping did a wonderful job. My only complaint with the rooms is that the hotel turns the air conditioning off during the winter months, and our room was stifling. It was very humid during our trip, and I'm on medication that gives me hot flashes. We asked for a room fan, but unfortunately, the hotel didn't have any. The windows are locked, so they only open about an inch, and Housekeeping did keep closing them. We talked to the Reception Staff who said that they could open the windows fully for us with the key, but unfortunately, this never happened. This was a bit of a pain and caused discomfort, but I didn't let it ruin our stay. Maybe room fans is something the hotel could consider providing for guests who need them in the months the air conditioning is switched off. We had bed and breakfast, but we only made use of breakfast on a handful of occasions. Breakfast was lovely, and they had lots to offer. I would say however, that the dining area was always extremely busy, and often, there wasn't really enough seating for guests. We went down at all different times, and this was often the case. Some mornings it did seem a little chaotic, but the staff were doing their best. We arrived at the airport and then got the Water Airport Bus to Arsenale stop. This took around 1 hour and 30 minutes. We then walked from Arsenale to the hotel, which took us about 25 minutes with our cases. We had a very early flight upon returning, and no water buses stopped at the Sant'Elena stop so early, so we got a Water Taxi to the airport. This only took about 20 - 25 minutes, and it picks you up right on the canal by the hotel. For €160 Euros, this was worth it for us, as it was an early flight and saved us lugging our cases back to the Arsenale stop to make the Airport Water Bus at 3.30 am. It's worth noting, our first few days were really foggy, so we didn't really have any concept of where we where / what was close by, but we just wandered around and discovered places as we came across them. Honestly, this is probably the best way to do it! Don't miss out on all of the wonderful hidden gems Venice has to offer! Tips: Make use of the water buses to get around. There is a Water Bus stop just down the road from the canal, and honestly, the views from the Water Bus is amazing. You can experience the whole of the Grand Canal and get some amazing photos (be sure to try and sit outside on the front). The Water Bus ticket cost €65 for 7 days, and you can use this as many times as you like. (I believe it was €35 for 3 days). You can also get a Water Bus directly from Sant'Elena to Murano also. This does take a little while, but again, the views are spectacular! We spent a day in Verona, too, during our stay to see the Verona Arena and Juliet's Balcony. This is well worth the trip if you have the time. You can get a Water Bus direct to the train station, and then it was €10 one way (as it will ask what time you are returning if you book a return). St. Mark's Square is always busy, but if you go early, the crowds and queues aren't too bad for the Basilica and Campanile. It was €10 to go to the top of the Campanile (no stairs: lift only) and the views are incredible. It is €3 into the Basilica (you do pay extra for different parts once inside), but this is well worth the money; especially to see the Four Horses and the views from the balcony. All in all, our trip was wonderful and we wouldn't hesitate to book to stay here again!

My family stayed here for four nights and would highly recommend. The breakfast in particular was amazing- so much variety, including a surprisingly large choice of cakes (!) and a dedicated vegan corner (soy yoghurt, vegan pastry/ tart, soy milk, lots of fruit, nuts and seeds). I have no idea how a previous reviewer did not like the breakfast, it had so much choice I am struggling to think what was missed! The building is beautiful and one room looked out onto a courtyard garden. We stayed in two adjacent standard rooms on the second floor- these were perfectly acceptable, with large comfortable beds and extras like bathrobes. I found the staff warm and friendly, including at check-in (late at night) and when we had drinks at the bar in the evening. To get to the hotel, we caught the Alilaguna to Lido (€15 each) then it's a short hop on the vaporetto. There are signs to the hotel if you look out as you get off at St Elena. The area is quiet and green, and it is a pleasant walk to St Mark's Square. We did not eat at the hotel but ate out on the nearby Via Giuseppe Garibaldi, where there were several good bars and restaurants. Don't miss the turtles who live in the water around the Garibaldi monument on the way.

Once again – this Four Star hotel deserves Five Stars for service and value. Our SIXTEENTH YEAR at the Hotel Sant’Elena in July 2023 was even more enjoyable than our previous fifteen visits, and our annual trip was, again, a wonderful experience in this, one of the most beautiful of cities on Earth. We were very upset that we couldn’t travel during the Covid pandemic for our annual battery supercharge, but we’ll be back in Summer 2024! We’re building another party to travel with us. As President of an association of former students of an English art school, I invited some of our members to join us for our 2016 trip – 22 of us flew out aboard “the Moseley Art Special” for our reunion of men and women who had attended our school as long ago as 1957. An additional couple flew out from Australia to join us. It goes without saying that we had the most fabulous time – people who have studied Art all their lives reuniting in one of the greatest repositories of fine art and Architecture in the world. My wife and I spend a couple of weeks every year at the Hotel Sant’Elena and had no hesitation in recommending it for our reunion stay and special dinner. The first class hotel team once again excelled in the quality of service. Personable staff, wonderful food, impeccable cleanliness, and a willingness to ensure that our every wish was catered for. Our mornings began, as usual in bright sunshine with the warmest of breakfast welcomes from the staff and a wonderful, abundant display of food. A fantastic start to the day. We are seasoned travellers (I’m an artist/photographer) and we’re quite demanding when it comes to service and value for money. We again upgraded to a roomy Junior Suite at very reasonable cost and enjoyed our stay even more. We’ve stayed in the De Luxe double bedrooms during our first four visits, which were perfectly fine, but our holiday dates now take in my wife’s birthday so we’re a touch more extravagant. We were able, again, to explore the exquisite surroundings, including easy railway trips to some of the other historic cities in the Veneto and surrounding area, including Verona, Treviso, Padua, Murano, Burano and Vicenza. FOOD: the variety of food is fine and lavishly plentiful. There is a very generous breakfast array of fresh fruit juices, milk, bread rolls, croissants, jams and other preserves, fresh fruit salad, cold meats, cheeses, cereals and yoghurts, cakes, sausages, bacon, scrambled egg, fresh fruit, tea and coffee. I’m always amazed at the quantity and range of food provided, right up to the end of service at 11am. Breakfast may be taken in the air-conditioned Dining Room or al fresco at tables on the garden lawn in the quiet morning sunshine (or, if you’re feeling lazy, in your bedroom for a small additional charge). We enjoyed dinner at the hotel more often this time than in previous years. The head waiter once again reminded us how wonderful it is to be served by a waiter who takes a huge pride in his work, his professionalism adding to the dining experience. The hotel has a slightly more limited menu than the 'tourist' restaurants, although meals are surprisingly keenly priced. If you are a fan of fillet steak, or branzino (sea bass) cooked to absolute perfection, as we are, you'll have a great experience. LOCATION: Being in the only green (predominantly residential) area of the main island of Venice, it's fresh, clean and very peaceful. The hotel has been created in a former convent, and has a large enclosed lawned garden (recently re-landscaped) which is ideal for breakfasting, peaceful relaxation and sunbathing. The hotel is literally only 200 metres from the vaporetto (public waterbus) stop on the edge of the Venice lagoon – absolutely ideal when arriving and departing. During your stay, you’ll see plenty of distressed travellers struggling to cope with lugging their heavy baggage around for an hour or two on foot, trying to find their hotel in the bewildering maze of small streets at the start and end of their holiday in the heat of the mid-day sun. For first-time visitors to Venice, it's a little disorientating getting your head around travel and connections. Travel agents refer to "Venice and the Veneto" - well, you'll find that the majority of hotels listed are not actually on the main island of Venice at all, but on the nearby mainland area of Mestre, which is modern, with an urban and industrial flavour. GETTING ABOUT: The main island of Venice is just that, an island surrounded by water. You'll arrive by air at either Marco Polo Airport, Treviso Airport (both on the mainland) or by road or rail via the causeway at the north end of the island. There are no roads, therefore no cars – so don’t bother hiring one in advance! Transport is by foot or by water – even bicycles are prohibited. I wouldn’t recommend Venice to anyone with mobility issues – each year we see the people in wheelchairs struggling to negotiate the bridges and other obstacles with sheer exhaustion and frustration. Improvements have been made over the last by providing ramps on many major bridges, but smaller bridges abound (over 400 of them). From Marco Polo Airport (our preferred airport), you can walk to the nearby vaporetto / water taxi stop in ten minutes, or get a cab. It's a slight extravagance, but we indulge ourselves by booking a water taxi (a covered motor launch with open back) at the airport which takes us speedily and in great style direct to the hotel in around 30 minutes at a cost of around €120. You’re allowed to share a water taxi and divide the cost – a great deal which makes the vaporetto (public waterbus) service unattractive – water taxis carry a dozen people. For us, it's the only way to arrive and depart. Water taxis can be ordered from the conspicuous desk at the airport arrivals lounge at Marco Polo. The alternative is the vaporetto which is crowded, usually with standing room only. The vaporetto is cheaper but takes much longer – it will take you to the vaporetto stop at Sant Elena, from where the Hotel Sant'Elena is just a two- or three-minute stroll. The vaporetto runs every ten minutes from Sant Elena, and will take you to St. Mark's Square in just 10 minutes (*don't forget to buy your multi-day pass for the vaporetto at the airport on arrival - unlimited walk on / walk off trips. You can also buy them at the magazine stand near the vaporetto stop at Sant’Elena) A great way to end the day is to go to the vaporetto terminal at Piazalle Roma, re-board a fresh No. 1 vaporetto so that you can grab seats (you’ll need to get your elbows out), and enjoy a leisurely 40-minute sightseeing trip along the whole length of the Grand Canal – have your camera ready!). Or, if you feel like stretching your legs, St. Mark's is only a 20 minute leisurely stroll away from the Hotel Sant’Elena along the lagoon edge, passing the Biennale Gardens and the Arsenale / Maritime Museum (both extremely worthwhile attractions) – a beautiful stroll at sunset. In the opposite direction, the vaporetto will take you from Sant’Elena to the Lido in just a single stop for a day lounging on the beach. ACCOMMODATION: The rooms are good-sized, very comfortable and are beautifully air conditioned. The beds, bed linen and towels are superb, and the cleanliness is impeccable - I was VERY surprised to read an earlier review that criticised the standard of cleanliness - the great care given to cleanliness is one of the things that always impresses us. The decor is modern, light, cool and airy. We've seen inside many of the other hotels on the island, the majority of which try to attract guests with reproduction Renaissance, Baroque or Rococo furniture and decoration - who would want to wake up to red flock wallpapered walls on a hot summer morning? It's a sign of a good employer that good staff are retained, and we were again looked after impeccably by the manager and the excellent team, many of whom have been with the hotel since we began visiting eightteen years ago! DINING OUT LOCALLY: Midway along your walk from the vaporetto stop and the hotel you’ll see Vecia Gina Pizzeria (Gina’s) a friendly, informal pizzeria bar and restaurant. It’s not only a great place to pause for a refreshing Aperol Spritz at a table under the trees on your way back to the hotel, but they offer a full range of delicious and inexpensive pizza meals which can be eaten inside or outside. A great favourite with local families, highly recommended. VALUE: The fact that we returned for our SIXTEENTH year says it all. The Hotel Sant'Elena is perfect for us, but do check out other 4 Star hotels for price and quality at Booking.com or Hotels.com, just to satisfy yourself. You’ll find, though that the prices for equivalent 4 Star accommodation ON THE MAIN ISLAND can be as much as double what we pay at the Sant’Elena. If price is the most important factor for you, hotel accommodation is cheaper on the Lido or the mainland, although you’ll then have the additional travel every day to and from the main island. We now book direct with the hotel via their own website for best price, and the helpful staff can discuss any queries you may have by phone in perfect English. Whatever hotel you choose, do make sure that you ignore all claims about close proximity to San Marco / St. Mark's Square! Venice is heaving with visitors at most times of the year (get up and see the beautiful sunrise if you want the place to yourself for a while!), and whilst the Square, Basilica and Doge’s Palace are of course essential destinations for visits, if you're anything like us, you'll definitely prefer a hotel away from the hustle, bustle, noise and crowds to relax after a tiring day in this magnificent jewel of a City. We believe that good service should be rewarded by recommendation. Great hotel, great location, consistently great service and excellent value. The mosquito we encountered in the garden at the hotel in 2007 is still the only bad thing we can say about this hotel. I've already answered a number of specific questions via TripAdvisor - I absolutely love Venice, so if I can help, you’re welcome to drop me a line – glad to help.

My family and I had a terrific visit throughout. The hotel's location is excellent, a three minute walk from a Waterbus stop, so reaching the hotel from the train station is effortless and traveling from the hotel to the sights in Venice is similarly easy. The staff at the front desk made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Our room for four was fantastic, with a staircase connecting two floors and a wonderful outdoor patio between the floors. A delightful bottle of sparkling wine and a fruit basket awaited us upon our arrival. Breakfast at the hotel was great, offering a superb cup of espresso to start the day. The team at the bar served up excellent drinks at the end of the day. An excellent stay -- we're looking forward to returning soon!

We stayed in the hotel from the 1st to 5th October and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. I contacted the hotel a few days before our visit to ask about ways to get from Marco Polo Airport to the hotel, I received a good response within 20 mins. The hotel is in a quiet residential area of Venice about 20 mins from the busy areas and a further 10 mins to Marks Square. This we were happy with and knew before we booked. We thought the staff were very helpful and were keen to please. The rooms were modern with a bathroom with shower. We had the breakfast as part of our package with Jet2 and this set us up for the day - no complaints from any of our party of 6. The mosquitos were quite prevalent and certainly had a few bites of me so possibly be aware of this if you visit Venice - were notably around the park area and the garden of the hotel. Travelling to the hotel, we caught the water bus from the airport and this took us to Arsenale stop - we walked from there which took about 20 mins rather than wait for a local water bus to Sant Elena. Total journey time was 1hour 50mins. For our return to the airport, we took a water taxi which cost 160Euros for 6 of us - believe it is 140Euros for 4 people or less and this took around 25mins. This picked us up less than 2mins walk from behind the hotel. Any negatives - only one for me was I thought the drinks were a bit expensive. Would I recommend this hotel, yes I would. For anyone going to Venice, our highlights were the trip to the glassworks on Murano, the gondolier ride (standard charge 80Euros for up to 5), we went up the tower in Marks Square (10 Euros) and the general charm of the city walking the narrow back streets. It was great not to see any motor vehicles for the five days we were away.
