We arrived at the Palazzo Sant Angelo on Sunday August 6th at dusk just in time to view the grand canal at its finest. The best thing about this hotel ,outside of its charm and hospitality is its location. Literally 150 ft off the Valporetta #1 Sant Angelo stop!!. Its water front entrance is 1 of a kind and has an ideal location for all of Venice. The staff was extremly courteous and the rooms very clean and well appointed with fabric wallpaper not seen in 4 star hotels. It is listed in the SBH (Small Boutique Hotels guide) as one of the top picks in Italy. The breakfest buffett was equally as charming with a friendly atmosphere and plenty to choose from. The hotel arranged a tour to Murano at one of thier suggested factories. There are many confusing issues over the hotels and thier affiliations to the Murano factories, in our case we were very pleased with the selection and had a great expierence provided you know what you want and what you are willing to pay. As a high end hotel we were treated to a high end factory. I have traveled all over the world and I would highly recommend this hotel.
