This location was a PERFECT refuge after a long day of the business of Venice. The entire hotel and garden were incredibly charming! So much attention to detail! Our room was small, but beautiful and very comfortable. The bathroom, however, is generously sized and well appointed. The buffet breakfast was delicious and surprisingly provided many different options. The hotel staff... More

Lovely first stay in Venice. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. The hotel has a lot of character in a traditional empire style with good air conditioning.

We were in a garden level room right off the grand lobby and I feared it would be noisy until I saw the thickness of those old walls! We did not hear a peep, even when people were milling around...

Amazing hospitality and welcome from Darwin and his team. Beautiful bedroom with all mod cons. Fabulous buffet breakfast enjoyed in the beautiful shaded garden -... More

The building is beautiful, our room on the canal was decorated with Venetian grandeur. The staff at reception helped us with directions daily, housekeeping was fab with clean linen daily and breakfast staff... More
