Concierge "It's not often that a stylish but also relatively affordable new hotel opens right on the Grand Canal."
Fodor's "From the rooftop terrace—which has a Jacuzzi—you get a classic Venetian view: over the city's roofs to the Campanile and even to the Dolomites on a clear day." Full review

Time Out "A beautiful shady walled garden is laid out in front of this privately owned 16th-century palazzo." Full review
Travel + Leisure "In a 16th-century palazzo behind the Ca' d'Oro, it's every bit as fancy as the Grand Canal hotels, but thanks to its location, on a secondary canal, costs less." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
