Perfecto location.
Great location. On the canal with direct access to courtyard by water taxi. No dragging luggage through narrow crowded streets. 2 minutes to St Marks Square. 5 minutes to Rialto Bridge and everything you want to see is within a 10 minute walk. Perfecto. Will stay here again in our next trip.

I enjoyed our stay, and the location was very convenient to plaza Santa Marco. The only downfall was the bathroom grout had some mold in the shower area. The staff was very nice, and the room was roomy and clean otherwise.

Fantastic hotel, excellent location. Gorgeous room! Overall very nice and was very clean. One of your concierges gave me an excellent recommendation for a more authentic restaurant that was more for locals. Thank you for giving me a great experience in Venice by having such lovely accommodations.
