Perché piace così tanto

8.4⭐950 recensioni
  • Direct Grand Canal frontage with a private water landing
  • Breakfast served in a ballroom with original frescoes and honeycomb
  • Authentic 'faded glory' atmosphere that feels like a home, not a hotel

In sintesi: A stunningly atmospheric time capsule that forces you to trade modern conveniences (like elevators) for genuine history.

Recensito da @seefeellike: Staying right on the Grand Canal felt like living in a movie. I loved waking up to that view of the Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute. It’s quiet, historic, and feels incredibly exclusive compared to the big hotels.

Cosa hanno detto gli ospiti che hanno soggiornato qui

The hype

Guests are obsessed with the Grand Canal views and the 'movie set' vibe of the breakfast room.

Reality check

The 'shabby chic' leans a bit too hard on 'shabby' in some annex rooms, with complaints about darkness and wear.

  • You appreciate antique furniture and creaky floors over modern minimalism
  • You want to arrive by private water taxi directly to the hotel door
  • You are physically fit enough to handle stairs with luggage

Pulizia e manutenzione

8.5
  • Housekeeping: Daily and generally thorough, though some dust on high antiques is common.
  • Bathroom hygiene: Clean tiles and fixtures, but expect some age-related wear (grout discoloration).
  • Maintenance: The 'faded glory' is real—peeling paint or worn carpets are part of the aesthetic.
  • Linens & towels: Fresh and crisp, contrasting nicely with the antique furniture.
  • Odors & scents: Generally fresh, occasionally musty in the annex or lower floors due to humidity.
