“This boutique hotel occupies a skillfully restored aristocratic palace, a short walk from St. Mark's Square. While some aspects might lean closer to a well-appointed three-star experience, its location and uniquely Venetian decor offer undeniable charm. In my opinion, it's a solid choice for those prioritizing proximity to Venice's major attractions.”
