Venice: Where to Stay: Family Friendly: Palazzo Selvagedo

Palazzo Selvagedo

Families should consider staying at the Palazzo Selvadego, the sister of the Monaco & Grand Hotel, also owned by the Benetton Group. Housed in a 16th-century building a five-minute walk from the Monaco, the Selvadego has forty rooms with kitchenettes, a stylish decor in warm colors and terraces on the upper floors. You forgo close-up views of the Grand Canal, but for families this property is a good value, and the location can’t be beat. Rooms from 200 euros a night depending on the season.
