“In Venice's Dorsoduro district, this hotel occupies a set of restored mansions, positioning guests within walking distance of St Mark's Square but removed from the intense tourist activity. I note the complimentary gondola ticket offered, a thoughtful touch for exploring the Grand Canal. The seasonal restaurant and garden dining promise a relaxing experience, though travelers should ensure their rooms meet expectations.”
