Our take
I recommend it to travelers who appreciate historic charm: an 18th-century property with ornate rooms, a courtyard garden and a bar, plus complimentary breakfast, air conditioning and free Wi-Fi. It welcomes both children and pets, which is less common in Venice than you might hope. An 8.0 rating across nearly 500 reviews is solid. Anyone wanting a modern, minimalist look will find the decor too traditional.
- Take advantage of the complimentary breakfast to start your day energized before exploring Venice.
- Spend some time in the courtyard garden for a peaceful break from the city's lively streets.
- If travelling with pets, this hotel is a welcoming option, so plan your stay accordingly.

Why guests love itAn 18th-century building with ornately decorated rooms and a courtyard garden gives this Venice hotel real character, and I like it for families because the garden offers children a calm outdoor corner. Breakfast is complimentary, rooms have air conditioning for summer heat, Wi-Fi is free, and there is a bar. The hotel is both kid-friendly and pet-friendly. The decor is traditional, so families who prefer modern rooms may look elsewhere.
