We loved our stay at Adriano's. He is a great host. The place is ideal particularly for people who are looking for an area that is off the beaten track, even though there are plenty of wonderful sights on you door step, from Ca' Pesaro contemporary art gallery to the scuola grande di san rocco. Plenty of lovely local shops, some of the best restaurants in town and the amazing mercato di rialto. Adriano's kitchen is wonderfully equipped, the place in general really allows you to feel at home in Venice. I wholeheartedly recommend it!
