"This welcoming hotel offers lovely spacious rooms decorated with 18th-century style furniture and fitted out with all mod cons."
Rough Guide
"Welcoming one-star with just ten rooms, so it’s crucial to book well ahead. Rooms are all en suite and decorated in eighteenth-century style, and many are spacious. €100–190."
Frommer's
"This pretty little hotel is located in a Venetian red palazzo, parts of which date from the 1400s, although everything has been renovated in 18th-century Venetian style." Full review

Rough Guide
"This extremely plush four-star residenza, a few metres upstream of the Rialto Bridge, is one of the best small hotels in the city."
