“This adults-only Venetian hotel impressed me with its commitment to historical charm, canal-side rooms, and rooftop terrace; proximity to the Santa Maria del Giglio vaporetto stop is a plus. I think the reduced rate for the extensive breakfast, when booked directly, is a particularly smart perk; its Murano boat service also signals a dedication to memorable experiences. In my opinion, it is a sophisticated choice for couples seeking a romantic getaway.”

inadequate storageclosed bar
The room I received was rather underwhelming. I found no wardrobe or drawers for clothing storage. The room felt cramped. Maneuvering around the bed's far side could present challenges for those with mobility issues. I did expect more from a hotel room at this price point. the rooftop terrace bar was closed, without prior notice. A key amenity was not available.

Fantastic Location, Excellent Service!!!

superb locationcompassionate staffnice barhelpful staff
The location was superb. I found it so easy to get around. The staff acted very compassionate and were very flexible when I needed to extend my stay due to an emergency, that was excellent. The bar downstairs provided a very nice space for a nightcap. I appreciated the helpfulness of the staff. They were always available when I needed assistance.
The bedrooms were ridiculously small, with limited space for storing clothes, particularly inconvenient for longer stays.

Acceptable Stay but some Issues Existed

The room I had was quite disappointing. The air conditioning. Water stains covered the ceiling and it hardly was like a beautiful room. Paying extra for a canal view hardly justifies these issues.

Our beautiful double room offered real comfort. The bed had perfect pillows and a very soft mattress. I especially appreciate the complimentary mosquito repellent.
I thought the key card system with that heavy keychain was very strange. It was annoying to carry around all day.
