“I found this family-run hotel, with its lift, a genuine find in a city where value is hard-won. Its location is superb; just off the main tourist drag, near St. Mark's, yet retaining a pocket of authentic Venetian charm. I particularly appreciated the blend of historic restoration and modern comfort, with a relaxing terrace.”
