Reviews for San Clemente Palace Kempinski
Beautiful island resort
We had a fantastic peaceful stay at San Clemente during a busy season in Venice. The property is elegant with every detail exceptional. The hotel staff were excellent, Manuela and the reception team were superb. Very welcoming and attentive and dealt with special requests with pace and precision. Giuseppe on the concierge team was a real pleasure to chat with and gave fantastic recommendations and support with bookings.

Perfect luxury vacation with the most friendly team
Dear San Clemente Palace Team, thank you for the amazing time we had at your hotel. It was absolutely perfect. A stunning property, excellent quality and the most friendly team. We enjoyed every second here and everyone contributed to make this vacation even more special. Starting from the planning of my engagement proposal, to the organisation of it or the arrangements of transfer and much more - everything was perfect. It will be a vacation which we will always remember and we will gladly come back to this outstanding hotel. The breakfast was delicious and we liked the variety and especially the relaxed atmosphere with classical music. Just one thing, I would have preferred: a proper Italian espresso from a portafilter machine instead of an automatic machine. The whole hotel displays a vibe of traditional elegance (smell, music, art and decoration) and we loved everything about it. A heartfelt thank you to all team members for being exceptionally friendly. Special thanks and compliments to Lisa from Guest Relations, Marika from Reception, Michael as Head Concierge and Roberto from Greeting Team all of you you made our stay one of the best we had so far! Best regards and see you soon Maximilian & Olga

Beautiful hotel in Venice!
San Clemente was absolutely beautiful! The hotel is a 10 - 15 minute boat ride from the Piazza San Marco by hotel shuttle that runs frequently. It has beautiful grounds, a big swimming pool, and an excellent restaurant on the water. The service was impeccable from the moment we arrived and the room was spacious and comfortable. We had the best of both worlds - the hustle and bustle of Venice and the relaxing calm of San Clemente. Would stay there again upon a return trip!
