Fodor's Review:

At this elegant late-16th-century palazzo, you'll experience gracious hospitality and a luxurious atmosphere in keeping with Venice's patrician heritage. You'll feel like nobility yourself as you ascend the majestic staircase and enter the expansive piano nobile which overlooks a side canal. Unusually spacious rooms are well-appointed with antique furniture, frescoed ceilings, and fine silk fabrics. The location is remote enough to escape the San Marco throngs while still within striking distance of all of major sights, and there's a private dock for taxi arrival. In summer, breakfast is served in a walled garden complete with sculptures and marble benches. Pros: A unique, historic lodging; spacious rooms and garden; superb guest service. Con: Not the best choice for families with young children, who may have difficulty dodging the antique accessories sprinkled throughout.
