"Most hotels with Grand Canal-side terraces come with five-star price tags. Palazzo Stern is the exception, mixing boutique charm with a superb location." Full review
"A smart hotel overlooking the Giudecca Canal, with a variety of rooms from family-size to suites with a jacuzzi on the balcony." Full review
