“This hotel's location on a quiet side street off the Grand Canal strikes a rare balance. It's an easy walk to the Rialto Bridge and other central sights, and the building itself, dating back to 1521, has been carefully refurbished. I appreciate that the multilingual staff seem ready to offer personalized dining recommendations.”
