Staying at this hotel was an absolute dream! The rooms are beautifully decorated with an amazing Venetian painted ceiling and a small balcony where I could watch gondolas passing beneath, creating a blissful atmosphere even with the curtains open. The service was impeccable, offering room service, dry cleaning, housekeeping, and a lovely welcome drink. The location couldn't have been better, right on a small canal with gondola rides close by and within walking distance to all the tourist sites, especially St Mark square. Everything about this hotel was fantastic, making my stay unforgettable.
