What a truly lovely experience staying on the Grand Canal. The room was very nice and clean with a 5-star location. Val was a lovely host and provided a lot of helpful information. She made dinner reservations for us at a delicious restaurant with a table by the water. She suggested do's and don'ts during our short time in Venice. Val even allowed us to watch the gondola parade and races from her private balcony while she was away. Breakfast was very good every morning and was served on a silver tray. We ate in our room and even took the tray downstairs to the dock on the grand canal to watch the action on the busy canal one morning. I would definitely recommend staying here.
