I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The room was beautiful, easily the best during my 3-week trip in Italy, with powerful hot showers and a good size. However, the excessive heat in the building made it a bit uncomfortable despite having air con and autonomous heating. The service was exceptional; the staff was incredibly helpful, serving us fresh coffee. The location was superb, a bit away from tourist crowds, with breathtaking views over the laguna. The dining experience was delicious, especially compared to other hotels in Italy. Overall, a fantastic choice!

The service was very helpful and friendly, recommending great restaurants and providing excellent assistance. The dining experience, however, was very poor and hardly worth the bother. The facilities were top-notch, enhancing the overall stay experience.
The hotel exudes the typical Venetian style with ornate decor that makes you feel like royalty. The rooms, although lovely and clean with marble accents, lacked sound insulation. Matteo, the owner, adds a personal touch with his helpful and fun demeanor. The location offers a serene retreat away from the tourist crowds with stunning views over the laguna.
