A cool, quiet retreat away from the immediate bustle of old Venice, but still convenient to everything. Giovanna, Louisa's niece, met me at San Samuele, off the water transport, and gave me a very thorough review of the place even though I was more than an hour later than I thought I was going to be. She was prompt in communications and professional, the place was clean, stylish, and comfortable, and everything worked. I'd definitely stay here again.
