Dear Nigel, thank you so much for your beautiful and detailed review about your recent stay with us! It was a great pleasure to accomodate you all for your break with your colleagues and wives. It is nice to read that you appreciated the staff manners, we are always trying to be 100% customer oriented in order to provide our guests an experience more than a simple stay. Your description about our position is absolutely perfect, there is nothing else to say about it and we don't really have any further words to thank you for every detail you have been mentioning. We are also happy to know you tried our restaurant Bistrò da Cici where you really get a Venetian culinary experience since our Chef Stefano Bison always tries to offer fresh ingredients coming from our neighborhood. Thank you very much once again for your stay and for recommending our Hotel to our potential guests, we hope to accomodate you again here for your next stay in Venice and we stay at your disposal , do not hesitate to contact us directly! Kind regards, Alberto Paradiso Front Office Manager
