Staying at the Palace Gradenigo was amazing! How often do you get to stay in an enormous corner of a Palace with a roughly 2100 square foot living room and ancient records of the family tree dating back to year 768 hanging on the wall? Very cool! Is it also a five hotel that is perfect in every detail? No, but everything worked just fine. In fact, I’m glad we stayed at the Palace rather than a five star hotel, because it was far more interesting, and you get stories! Napoleon lived here! The Nazis took over the space. Our local guide whose family has lived in Venice for 500 years asked to look inside! I highly recommend.
