One of the very best hotels my wife and I have stayed in. A magical and sumptuous hotel. Staff superb and made us feel extremely welcome. Situated right by the side of Guidecca canal, our room had a multi aspect view of the canal. Water bus stop Zattere just a few metres from the hotel meant that using a water bus or water taxi from the airport could not have been simpler. The city water bus service line 2 runs from the same stop with a very frequent service right down the Grand Canal, under the Rialto Bridge and on to the Piazza San Marco, Campanile and the Doges Palace. Impossible to over rate this hotel.
