This is an old, well-established locally owned hotel. Staff was very helpful and location is 2-3 mins from the Academia vaporetto stop which was very convenient. Charming public spaces, garden and outside patio. Not a great place the for hot summer months. AC is very weak. Our room was always 78-79 degrees. They gave us a small desk fan and we took cold showers each night, but for North Americans is was too much. No elevator. They will carry your bags up to your room. Be sure to check the room set up. Our room was oddly shaped with low ceilings and the bed sat on the floor. It was comfortable, but too low for an older couple to get up from at night and in the morning. Breakfast was acceptable, nothing special. Very clean, traditional pensione and Antonio the morning clerk was kind and helpful.
