  Our honeymoon visit was magnificent. The suite and livingroom looks absolutely amazing. All the city attractions are near. The view from the hotel is to the beautiful Ponte degli Scalzi Bridge and Grand Canal. We also had a very nice suprise from the staff waiting in our room, we enjoyed it a lot. Brenno was super nice and warm host, thank you.

  Spotlessly clean. The staff were superb. Catalina and the team run this place better than a 5 star hotel. Well worth every penny. The breakfast is fantastic. The views are incredible. We will be backcountry and I’m sending clients to stay here in the future.😁✌️❤️🤘

• Jenna from United States – 12 September 2024 (10/10)

  It's such a beautiful location! Right on the Grand Canal at the Pointe Scalzi, close to the train station, and an easy spot to walk anywhere in less than 15 minutes. The staff were fabulous hosts, the breakfast each morning was delicious, and our room was bright with an amazing view.

• Lidia from Australia – 10 September 2024 (10/10)

  Absolutely beautiful decorated. Luxury at its finest.
  
  What could be improved: Key to the bathroom is a huge problem. Better to have another system or different lock. Also it would be better if you can lock the bathroom from the inside also.
