This was a great place to stay to visit Venice. We stayed in a double standard room, and it was quite spacious, nicely furnished and comfortable. The hotel is set back from the road with a walled garden - a great place to relax at the beginning or end of the day. We were also able to eat outside on the evening we had dinner at the restaurant. The reception staff were super helpful with information about buses to Venice and water buses (Vaporetto) to Murano. They sold the tickets at the desk, which took all the stress out of visiting a new city. On the day of the public transportation strike, staff were especially helpful, working hard to get us a taxi into Venice and making sure we knew options for how to get back to the hotel.
