I visited in May. I did a lot of research prior to booking, and was extremely happy with my choice here. This beautiful hotel is tucked away in a quiet neighborhood in Venice close to public transportation (less than 5 minute walk from the vaporetto stop), and to all the iconic places (Rialto Bridge, St Mark's Cathedral, etc), and yet away from the crowds in a quiet corner that still somehow manages to be right on the Grand Canal with an incredible view of the waterway. My room was gorgeous, looking out over the Canal, a perfect mix of historic building with updated amenities.
The staff were wonderful, especially Simon who gave me an early check-in to the most beautiful room, and Ali, who brought my bag up and who so helpfully took pictures of me standing in the beautiful arched window overlooking the Grand Canal. The full breakfast buffet was more than adequate with eggs, potatoes, sausages and all of the other usual items (cereals, breads, pastries, fruit, yogurt). Gorgeous outdoor seating both facing the canal, and another in a pretty little stone courtyard with jasmine flowering all around. Incredibly romantic, relaxing and memorable. I would absolutely, 100% recommend this beautiful hotel. It was perfection on every level.
