Frommer's
"There are few other places in Venice -- the only one that comes to mind is the Cipriani next door -- where you can relax as completely as you can here and yet quickly be in the midst of it all." Full review
Concierge
"Spacious and tranquil... best features are the ground-floor spa, with its extensive range of Daniela Steiner beauty treatments, and the pretty garden with pool."
Travel + Leisure

Be sure to make use of the saunas, Turkish hammam, and a roster of treatments that use Daniela Steiner products.

Editor's Pick
"Perhaps a bit of a cheapo splurge, the lovingly-run Guerrato offers 20 spotless rooms furnished with antiques and curiosities from far-flung travels." Full review
Frommer's
"Rooms are simply but classically furnished, with wood floors, exposed beams, air conditioning and private bathrooms—some rooms still contain original frescos, possibly dating from the medieval inn." Full review
Lonely Planet
"A prime Rialto Market location amid gourmet bacari makes Pensione Guerrato the Holy Grail for visiting foodies, and newly restored apartments are equipped with kitchens." Full review
