Pros
Staff speaks fluent English and demonstrates strong dedication to guest service
Quiet location away from main tourist routes while maintaining easy transport access
One of Venice's select hotel bars worth visiting instead of nearby bacari

Cons
Some rooms are located in an annex building 65.6 ft away
The annex building has no elevator access
“The hotel stands out for its meticulously designed rooms and serene atmosphere, a welcome contrast to Venice's bustling streets. I'm particularly impressed by the exceptional staff attention, creating a genuinely personal experience, and the convenience of private water taxi service directly from the property. The hotel's blend of historic charm with modern amenities, including spacious rooms and enhanced cleaning, makes it a standout choice.”
