Savoia E. Jolanda
 
After being told that my first 30 choices of hotels were booked the last week in September, I finally found this one free. Has anyone ever stayed here or know about it?

I stayed there twice, once in 1991 and again in 1993. The location is very good, just a short walk from the Piazza San Marco. There is a vaporetto stop in front of the hotel. The rooms were not nice, scaly walls, poor furnishings. If you hit it at acqua alta, the lower floor will be under a couple of inches of water. I have since walked by there and it appeared that it was being renovated, so perhaps things are better now. The concierge showed me where to include the tip on the credit card bill though I had not asked one thing of him. I would stay elsewhere given a choice, but it is not the worst place I have stayed in Venice. That was the Caveletto y Doges. I now stay at the Kette, but it is probably booked. Good luck.

Oops! The spelling should be Cavalleto e Doge.

We stayed in this hotel 4 weeks ago for 3 nights.Hotel was renovated recently, but still ls much better to have a room with the view, the others are on a small size and very dark.

Just curious...what was wrong with the Cavaletto?
