“Staying here places you directly into Venice's history; this thirteenth-century inn, steps from the Rialto, still feels like a noble's home with its Murano glass and canal views. Without a lift, it retains its authentic character, and I appreciate the small library devoted to Venetian culture. A fine choice for anyone wanting an intimate, cultured experience.”
