This is a very nice and romantic hotel, it is an addition to the main Bartolomeo hotel but for me this is way better, it is a separate building where you have your key to the building and to the room which I found out to be really cool as it is more private. You have a view to a... More

For our first time in Venice we chose this affordable Inn with Canal views. It took us a little while to find it but that was due to our ignorance of Venice streets and alleys.

6/28/11: Mateo was a great help, went out of his way to find transportation info for us. Room #3 top unit, windows facing inside, is quite. Watch out for mosquitoes though.
