The staff were so kind and helpful, even carrying our luggage, which was not light, up to our room. The room itself was gorgeous, and the view even more so. We could sit out on the little balcony in front of the Grand Canal and watch the local life and gondolas go by. You can even see the Rialto Bridge. We looked at many hotels before booking this one, and I’m beyond grateful we did. It’s just a short walk from the waterbus, and along the way there are many shops and most importantly, places to get gelato and cannolis. I’ll definitely be staying here if we visit Venice again.
*Helpful hints about Venice:
There are lots of stairs, so the city can be a bit tough to navigate if you use assistive devices. If you have a disability, I recommended booking a hotel near a waterbus station ON THE SIDE of that station as to avoid needing to cross a bridge. Pack in smaller suitcases if you can; this will make it much easier with stairs. There are ACTV ticket booths at the waterbus stations; you can purchase online ahead of time and enter your PNR code to print your tickets there or you can just purchase there. Pay attention to which direction your waterbus is going. It can be easy to make a mistake and go the opposite of what you intended.
