“I think this hotel offers a true Venetian experience, removed from the tourist throngs yet within easy reach of the Rialto Bridge and St. Mark's Basilica. The building exudes history and elegance with rooms overlooking the Campo Santa Maria Formosa. I especially appreciate the canal-side access and the promise of state-of-the-art amenities for business needs.”
