Madama Garden Retreat – Adults Only

Madama Garden Retreat has three individually furnished suites in Cannaregio, Venice, and a stay here starts at age 18. The restored interior feels more like a high-end Venetian guest house than a hotel.

A garden that runs down to the canal

The private garden reaches the water, so some guests arrive by boat through its entrance. Staff bring breakfast to the table on trolleys, cooked to order between 8:30 and 10:30. It includes fruit, eggs and pastries, with champagne as an option. Vegan and gluten-free versions exist. In the evening, the house pours wine and sets out snacks, and guests rate this garden routine highly.

Three suites, each different

One suite faces the garden, one looks over the canal and one has two bedrooms. Each has a kitchenette with a dining table and a memory foam bed. A rooftop terrace adds another place to sit.

Quiet, yet close to Ca' d'Oro

Ca' d'Oro is 270 m away, and the Rialto Bridge is 730 m. Staff book small local restaurants, and the owner organises private tours. The main train station, Santa Lucia, is 1.3 km away. A flight into Venice Marco Polo ends 8 km away, and a water taxi can collect you.
