“Charming, traditional family run hotel with an enchanting garden and traditional feel. Classical rooms offer comfort and private bathrooms. The vast breakfast buffet is highly recommended as are cocktails in the leafy courtyard. Well suited to families, not far from the action.”

Hotel Review
Long one of our favourite hotels in Venice, the Flora continues to seduce its guests with its quiet charms. You only have to glimpse the garden to know why it is so sought after: creepers, fountains and flowering shrubs create an enchanting setting for breakfast, tea or drinks. Bedrooms vary in style and size; best are the corner rooms or garden rooms. The venerable hotel, with very friendly service, has been run for many years by the Romanelli family.

Venice's palazzo hotels
Push open the door and you enter a plush lobby that leads straight into a romantic garden with classical statues, mosaics and fountains, while the walls of this 17th-century mansion are covered with dense ivy.

Hotel Flora
The marvellously peaceful, leafy courtyard is one of the Flora’s major selling points, but excellent, friendly, knowledgeable staff is another hallmark of the place, bringing habitués back time after time.
