This hotel made our Venice stay unforgettable. Gianlucca, was phenomenal and his recommendations were AMAZING as a born-and-raised Venetian. We took all his advice and loved every single recommendation he made!! He honestly made our Venice experience. Every restaurant and experience he suggested was perfect. Our room on the top floor was stunning, with a sitting area, bar area, and beautiful rooftop views over the cathedral and Venetian rooftops. Breakfast was excellent, and the location of this hotel couldn’t be better. Thoughtful, elegant, and deeply comfortable. We felt completely taken care of and will stay here again when we return to Venice!
