If the hotel had its own taxi/shuttle to San Marco or Accademia, we would not hesitate to stay there again. Highly reccommended! Overall we enjoyed our stay at the hotel and would return except for the long distances to most of the places that we wanted to visit.

And while otyhers were dressed as if they were attending a performance at La Scala, I wore shorts knowing that it would be very hot in the room. It is done in a very small room in a 17th century baroque setting that was quite stunning. The opera is a shortened version with costumed singers but no sets. We attended a performance at a scuola grande of 'Cosi fan tutti' which was very reasonably priced for Venice and enjoyed the Tiepello museum tour which preceded the performance. I'm not sure what the writers who dissed the breakfasts were expecting we found the selection reasonably good, considering the room rates and the high costs in Venice. The staff of the hotel was very nice and helpful. There are a few reasonably good restaurantsa close by, but for the most part you need to walk at least 15-20 minutes to get to most places to eat. Also, on a hot humid day the vaporetto ride felt all too much like a subway ride in NYC in rush hour in the summer-not too pleasant and SRO.

Because it was very hot and humid when we were there, we did not use the vaporetto after one ride as it took about an hour to go to San Marco and then we would begin our walks. It is about a 15 minute walk to the train station, 20 minutes to the Rialto, 30 minutes to the Accademia, and about 40 minutes to San Marco. The hotel is in the Canareggio sector, a short walk to the Jewish Ghetto where we took a very interesting tour. We had a large room in the new wing and found it to be very comfortable and well equipped with a large bathroom and nice amenities. We stayed at the hotel for 3 nights from 9/13-16.
