Palazzo Donà Giovannelli, Gothic palace in Cannaregio, Italy

Palazzo Donà Giovannelli is a Gothic palace in the Cannaregio district of Venice that displays elaborate arched windows and ornate column groupings on its waterfront facade. The building's interior layout features numerous smaller rooms arranged throughout rather than the large central halls common in other Venetian palaces.

The palace's designer is unknown; it was once attributed to Filippo Calendario, architect of the Doge's Palace. In 1538 it belonged to Francesco Maria I Della Rovere, Duke of Urbino, then passed to Giovanni Battista Donà, who sold it to the Giovannelli family to cover his debts. Giovanni Battista Meduna renovated it in 1847–1848, again in the mid-20th century, and since 2019 it has belonged to the Arsenale group.

The palace's name recalls two owners: Giovanni Battista Donà, who sold it to the Giovannelli family to cover his debts, and that family, who kept the name attached to the building. The noble floor departs from the Venetian portego, split into many smaller rooms with stuccos, coffered ceilings and fireplaces, one hall shaped like an ambo and divided by columns. Since 2026 it has housed the Orient Express Venezia hotel.

The building sits roughly 10 minutes on foot from Santa Lucia train station, making it easily accessible from the city center. Visitors should know the palace fronts directly onto water and access comes from the narrow lanes of the neighborhood.

The palace once housed Giorgione's painting The Tempest. Behind the building is a garden occupied by a traditional tajapietra stone-cutting workshop, a trade still practised there. The noble floor also lacks the central portego found in most Venetian palaces, being divided instead into many smaller rooms.
