Palazzetto Pisani, Palace in San Marco, Venice, Italy
Description
Palazzetto Pisani is a palace in Venice's San Marco district with a facade overlooking the Grand Canal. The building blends Gothic and Renaissance architectural styles and now operates as a hotel with waterfront views of the city's most important waterway.
History
The building dates back to the 15th century as an original Pisani family palace. In the 18th century it expanded when an additional floor was added and a neighboring small palace was acquired to create the current structure.

The palace displays its connection to Venetian trading power through details like the Hercules statues by Girolamo Campagna at the entrance portal. These artworks reflect the family's wealth and appreciation for classical themes.
Practical
The hotel sits in a central location near major sights like St. Mark's Basilica and the Rialto Bridge. Visitors can explore the surrounding area on foot and have direct access to the water taxi system for getting around the city.
