This was by far my favorite out of 5 hotels on my recent trip to Europe. Maybe its the romantic…read morevibe that Venice gives off?
The hotel isn't directly on the canal so you won't have all the hustle & bustle of tourists and shops but its within 2 mins walking distance of them. If you have luggages, BEWARE, you might need to lug them UP & DOWN staircases over the canals...HORRID....BUT you can also take a boat via the canal and arrive on their front doorstep. ;) sweeeet.
The hotel was luxurious. I thought everything was near perfect from the beginning to the end of my stay. The front desk personnel personally walked us to our room and went down again to bring up our luggage. Stepped into the room and found bathrobes/slippers nicely folded and waiting for us. The room was beautiful and had this antique-y feel yet super elegant at the same time. Gold hues. LOTS OF GOLDEN COLORS. Lol. They even have a "butt washer" in their bathroom...very interesting indeed. I believe they have a gym, library etc but who needs all that when you have so much excitement outside the hotel?!
BREAKFAST BUFFET: Lurved! I brought a mini Nutella home.. ;) they have fresh fruits, a pancake maker, eggs, sausages, different cold cuts & salamis, salads, Italian pastries/breads...I enjoyed looking at all the different foods they offered. While you eat, you can look out the window at the canal right next to you.
Anyway..I LOVED THIS PLACE. Highly recommend!
**they offer daily free boat rides to Murano island...we didn't find out til the last day so...
