"Franchesca our guide from the airport to the hotel, back to the airport was beyond AMAZING! Kind, conversational, brilliant and very strong. She put our bags in our room, Brown! Top floor!!! My bag was so heavy! She picked us up and escorted us back to the airport with the same enthusiasm. She also set us up for our trip to Murano. The guide took us to the private water taxi, we were welcomed by an amazing guide at the dock, given a private tour or the glass factory and taken back to the dock for the perfect private ride back to Venice! This hotel is a 12/10! I can’t express my gratitude enough! See you again soon!"

"Absolutely amazing stay in Venice!! For a city that can be quite expensive accommodation-wise, this was such an amazing deal! The room was cleaned and bed made daily. Beds and pillow were suppperr comfy with hotel grade linen. Shared bathroom was luxurious and large, with rain forest shower head and gorgeous luxe products, also cleaned daily. Staff were very kind and generous, let us store our bags a whole day extra as our flight was in the evening. And breakfast was included!! Full english with deli meats, sweets, coffee and juice! Decor and interior were beautiful, classical italian/ venetian features with simple traditional antique furniture. Some other reviews we read complained about noise from a bar, but we could not hear anything from our room and slept very well! Reccomending to everyone I can and will be staying here every time we come to Venice! Oh and also a beautil little pug you can meet! Thank you very much for our wonderful stay!!
