Reviews and Ratings
I felt like I was transported to Venice in a charming hotel with Venetian-style rooms, but the steep stairs may be a challenge for some. The service was genuinely friendly and helpful, and the location offered a blend of local authenticity and dining options. The dining experience was decent but fell short of exceptional.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although adequately sized and nicely accented with wood, were disappointing due to their dirtiness, darkness, and unpleasant smell. Carrying our luggage up to the top floor in summer with minimal air-conditioning was quite a challenge. However, the service was exceptional with very courteous and helpful staff. The location was ideal for art lovers, being close to Biennale locations, though the room was small. The dining options were limited but simple. Overall, a stay with ups and downs.
