dreamy days by the lagoon

I loved the location, so close to the arsenale vaporetto stop. It made getting around simple. the staff was always ready with a smile, answering every question with so much care. waking up each morning in our superior double room lagoon view was magical. I enjoyed the sweeping views.
The shower was quite small. It was a bit hard to move comfortably.

The breakfast included a wide selection of quality items. This started our days perfectly. i particularly enjoyed that the bar offered affordable drinks, a generous glass of wine at only 4€, a beautiful touch.

i really appreciated the location. i could easily walk to st marks square and the arsenale water bus stop was very close. the staff were also helpful with directions and travel tips. i also liked having breakfast each morning (the pastries were fresh).
the watercraft noise was quite noticeable throughout the day. it detracted slightly from the otherwise peaceful setting.
