If you want a hotel that is away from the hustle and bustle, yet still as centrally located as it is possible to get and within easy reach of absolutely everything, then this is the hotel for you! 60 seconds walk from the San Stae waterbus stop, this is a well appointed hotel on the quiet side of the water.... more

All the positive reviews are absolutely true! Travelled with husband and two sons (aged 3 and 6 years old). Very close to main train station vaporetto stop (water bus stop), which was very convenient as we looked forward to get to the hotel asap after a 5 hour train ride from Rome. When we arrived at our stop: San Stae... more

Excellent hotel in a good location at the San Stae river stop. We are a family of four with children aged 17 and 14. We stayed in the annex which was beautifully decorated, very comfortable and spotless. Sandro and Walter were wonderful and very helpful with all our requests. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for accomodation... more

The room and furnishings were gorgeous and decorated with the flair of Venice. The bath was beautiful and new. Everyone who worked there was congenial and helpful. We'd stay again in a heartbeat. more

Beautiful hotel in perfect location. Just far enough from the crowds, but was only a 10-15 minute walk to the thick of things. The room was beautiful and the a/c kept us cool in the Venice heat. Sandro, Walter, and their staff are all very friendly and make this place as warm and inviting as everyone says it is. The... more

Not a bad word for it. Easy to get to great location away from the noise but close enough to get to everything. Exquisite... more

All the positive reviews are true - this is an amazing find in a large, expensive city. We as 2 couples stayed in rooms #1 and #4 - I really liked #4. Room #1 had a window on the canal side (it was high and could not see out of it) - but you could smell the canal from the... more

I have visited Venice ten times and mainly stayed in four star hotels and above.Even before the dollar took its precipitous drop,I was curious about this hotel because of its No.1 ranking on tripadvisor and the laudatory remarks made by numerous travel publications. I could never get a room,even six months in advance,so I booked a room directly through the... more

Stayed here for three nights in June 2008, 2 adults and 2 teenagers in the annex rooms, second (third) floor. An absolutely beautiful place, clean and new with real Venetian decor (go to the Ca'Rezzonico museum and see the same style furniture you have in your room!). Breakfast was very good featuring home made apple croissants. I am a super... more
