What an elegant, beautiful room in a prime location in Venice! I was just looking for a "cheap" hotel close enough to P.le Roma to catch the REALLY early (4:40 am) bus to the airport. I was THRILLED to find this gorgeous little spot just across the first bridge. Finding it was an issue, as I circled the building before seeing the "hidden" doorway with the street number (always tricky in Venice, but, thanks to google, I knew it was on the main street). Warm welcome from the dear lady who let me in, showed me around, insisted on taking my picture in the room and on the balcony, and put LOTS of "carmellos" (candies) on the tops of wine glasses and other strategic spots around the room. There was free water, soft drinks and sparkling wine in the refrigerator, a great king bed with plump pillows, terrific shower (heated towel rack), plentiful nice wooden hangers in the 2 closets, safe and all that. Damask on the walls and bed, beautiful wood paneling everywhere. Really, this was a stunning room. I have been to Venice at least 2 dozen times. I will DEFINITELY look to book at this hotel on my next trip.
