"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

"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."
