I requested 2 double rooms w/canal views either on the 1st or 2nd floor (w/pvt bathroom), and venere.com emailed back saying they had no rooms available as requested (MAY OF 2003). And I thought I was getting a huge head start on this. What's up with *that?!<BR>Should I call them to make sure or just look for something else?

I think they are out of rooms.

Hi Laura. You may want to check directly with the hotel. It may be that venere does not book this far in advance. I am not saying this for sure. But it may be a possibility.

P.S. Also, the hotel we booked in Rome in May was less expensive when booked directly than the listing on venere.com. o which they are also listed. Just for your information.
