It's a gem of a place in one of the quietest areas of Venice but so close to the action at Rialto, Campo San Polo, round the Frari and Santa Margherita nightlife if that's what you want. On the first floor up a long flight of steep stairs just so you know. Really elegant as per the photos which are accurate, a great view from a balcony big enough to sit out on, with one of those canal views where everybody stops to take a picture. Elegant furnishings and good sized rooms, ridiculously big in some ways, apart from the single. The kitchen could do with a few more items to complete the gastronome's dream. Erika was perfect and couldn't have been more helpful.
