We had a wonderful stay from start to finish. Highly recommend the water taxi from the airport to the hotel (which the hotel arranged) and back again. The taxi took us straight to the hotel’s jetty. It saved us a lot of time and hassle with luggage, finding our way, etc. Marco was a great host, making us a coffee after a busy day sightseeing. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel is perfectly situated for walking to the major sights. We booked water bus tickets and did a round trip of the Canal on Line 2, leaving just in front of the Doge’s Palace. The Rialto Bridge was in walking distance too. Our room was very well equipped with a mini fridge and safe, plenty of towels and slippers (a lovely touch!) and toiletries. My husband thought the mattress was a bit hard but I slept very well. Breakfast was very nice, lots of choice of rolls, hams, cheeses, pastries, jams, toast, scrambled eggs and sausages as well as juices, tea and coffee. We welcomed the aircon as it was extremely hot during our stay. This is a lovely hotel and we would definitely stay there again, hopefully for a few more nights next time as we didn’t get to see everything in the time we had.
