Our stay at this beautifully decorated hotel in Venice was nothing short of amazing. Nestled near some of the city’s best museums and art galleries, it was the perfect location for a cultural getaway. Every detail of the hotel exuded charm and elegance, from the stunning interior design to the welcoming staff. We were also surrounded by incredible food—authentic Venetian cuisine just steps away. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to experience the magic of Venice in style.

Stylish hotel on quiet waterfront location

Great location on Zattere waterfront, in a beautifully restored Palazzo with gardens behind to canal. Friendly welcome at reception and I appreciated early check in. My room was small but stylish and well-designed with a spacious shower room (lovely bathrobe!). Very good, quiet AC. My room was overlooked, but had no privacy screen/curtain/shutters which would be a huge improvement instead of having to close the curtains. Breakfast served in restaurant area or outside in garden - selection from a menu rather than a buffet, service pleasant but slow.
