Palazzo Duodo Gregolin Venice
Has any stayed at Palazzo Duodo Gregolin in Venice. I saw the name here but it was recommended by the Palazzo? The web site looks good and the rates too good to be true by the location and the photos. I am just a little leary since the price seems to be very good and the photos great.

I stayed here for 3 nights about 3 years ago. I found it on the internet and had no recommendations but as it did seem very good I booked it. Comparing it to hotels with canal views and similar furnishings it is a real bargain.
Yes, it was great. The rooms are filled with antique furniture, all rooms have canal and rooftop views. There is an elevator. The location is just minutes from Piazza San Marco and Rialto not much further. Fantasy Gelato is just over the bridge and round the corner for the best gelato in Venice!
You get your own front door key, and a key to the floor the suites are on. The maid comes in the morning, prepares and serves breakfast, and cleans and tidies your room. I have never seen a silk nightie folded so beautifully BTW! Apart from that you are on your own. There is a fridge in the room - I can't remember if it was a minibar, but we bought our own water, wine, olives, etc. The bathroom we had (green suite) was huge, and you had lovely views from the bath and the toilet! And because you were so high up no-one could see you!
The only negative I can come up with was that the palazzo is owned by a family who own a hotel (the name escapes me right now) in Campo Manin, and because we arrived very late at night we first had to go to the hotel to collect the keys and then find our way to the palazzo. It wasn't difficult though. If you arraive in the day they take you to the palazzo. And when we checked out we had to go to the hotel to pay, but that had the advantage that we could leave our bags until evening.
I would not hesitate to stay there again.
