Rough Guide "This extremely plush four-star residenza, a few metres upstream of the Rialto Bridge, is one of the best small hotels in the city."

Frommer's "Yes it’s expensive, but this is one of the most exclusive hotels in Venice, steps from the Rialto Bridge, with a private wharf on the Grand Canal—to indulge your James Bond fantasy, look no further" Full review

"The boutique Hotel Palazzo Stern is housed in a restored historic building on the Grand Canal, with sections dating back to the 15th century." Full review
Time Out "Built in the early 20th century in eclectic pastiche style, Palazzo Stern is now home to this elegant hotel." Full review
Star Service "Its somewhat isolated locale is an asset, and its stunning terrace will please anyone who has ever dreamed of lounging beside Venice's most famous waterway with a cocktail in their possession." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"Most hotels with Grand Canal-side terraces come with five-star price tags. Palazzo Stern is the exception, mixing boutique charm with a superb location." Full review
Lonely Planet "A smart hotel overlooking the Giudecca Canal, with a variety of rooms from family-size to suites with a jacuzzi on the balcony." Full review
Independent "The bedrooms themselves won’t win many design awards, they’re typical old-school Italian four-star but the house itself is a gem, with a grand lobby, staircase, and rooftop hot tub."
