Where can I find a quiet hotel in the center of Venice?
Finding a quiet hotel in the heart of Venice may seem like a challenge, but Hotel Tivoli is a pleasant exception. Located in the Dorsoduro district, just steps from the Basilica dei Frari and the Scuola Grande di San Rocco, this two-star family-run hotel is appreciated for its central location and, at the same time, for the peaceful and relaxing atmosphere it offers its guests. Perfect for anyone looking to rest well after a day of exploring alleys and canals, Tivoli is the right choice for those seeking peace without giving up comfort.
A quiet hotel: an oasis of calm in the heart of the city
Many visitors are surprised to find such a quiet hotel in such a central area. Hotel Tivoli faces a low-traffic calle (Venetian street) and has an internal courtyard where guests can enjoy breakfast, read, or simply relax away from the tourist hustle. This makes it especially suitable for couples, families, and travelers looking for a restful stay.
Reviews from around the world highlight how, despite the hotel’s proximity to the city’s main sights, it ensures quiet nights and peaceful mornings, thanks to excellent room soundproofing.
The location: central yet calm
Hotel Tivoli enjoys a strategic yet secluded location, less than 10 minutes on foot from Santa Lucia train station and Piazzale Roma, and just minutes from the vaporetto stops San Tomà and Riva di Biasio. Within 15 minutes, you can easily walk to the Rialto Bridge, Campo Santa Margherita, and the Accademia Galleries. St. Mark’s Square is also easily reachable through some of Venice’s most charming neighborhoods.
However, once you step through Tivoli’s door, you leave the city’s hustle behind and enter a quiet hotel and a relaxed setting, cared for in every detail.
A quite hotel: simple, comfortable, and quiet rooms
The hotel has 22 rooms furnished with simplicity and functionality, offering everything needed for a comfortable stay: private bathroom, air conditioning, TV, free Wi-Fi, and, in some rooms, a safe and minibar. Rooms overlooking the courtyard are especially quiet—perfect for light sleepers or guests who value total privacy.
Guests often highlight in reviews the impeccable cleanliness, the comfort of the beds, and above all, the nighttime silence, which is considered a real luxury in Venice.
Warm and discreet family hospitality
Since 1955, Hotel Tivoli has been managed by the same family, maintaining a warm but non-intrusive hospitality style. The staff is helpful, attentive to guests’ needs, and ready to offer practical advice for exploring the city, including tips for off-the-beaten-path sights and authentic local experiences.
The friendliness of the staff is one of the most frequently mentioned features in reviews: “kind but never intrusive,” “discreet and always ready to help,” “genuine and attentive hospitality.”
Relaxing breakfast, even outdoors
Each day begins with a buffet breakfast, served either in the indoor room or, on nice days, in the shaded courtyard. Fresh croissants, bread, butter, jams, cakes, cereals, yogurt, juices, cold cuts, cheeses, and hot drinks made to order allow guests to start the day peacefully.
Having breakfast outdoors, in a green and private setting, enhances the overall feeling of relaxation and well-being that defines the Tivoli experience.
Who is Hotel Tivoli ideal for?
Thanks to its peaceful atmosphere and central yet secluded location, Hotel Tivoli is particularly suited to:
- Couples seeking privacy
- Solo travelers wanting safety and quiet
- Families with young children

It’s also an excellent option for longer stays, thanks to its homey ambiance and warm, welcoming management.
Close to everything, far from the noise
