Relais Ca’Sabbioni

Our last ‘day trip’ on our honeymoon, and we had been warned that Venice would not be our favorite city. We were pretty tired and unsure of location of Relais or bus system, so grabbed a taxi. About a 20 minute drive from the train station, we fell in love with the beauty of Relais and the charm of the staff.
Alice greeted us so excitedly – I could name a future child after her as she was such a sweet woman! She was the first of each hotel to congratulate us for our honeymoon (David marked it in notes) AND they had a bottle of Prosecco for celebration. While we had discussed venturing into Venice for the evening, we were convinced to stay at the hotel and enjoy the restaurant there. Best decision ever!
We were comfortable in our room. Had our own controls for thermostat. The bed was comfy and bathroom spacious. I love the modern look in this historical building (1693, but B&B open 1 year). The hallways of the hotel and music that jived reminded me of a Westin. Michele (owner) probably has never been to a Westin, but he’s done a fabulous job. I wish we could have seen the other rooms!
And ladies and gentleman, we really loved our dinner. It was not included in our reservation, but it was worth every penny. The chef prepared amazing dishes the first night, so we knew we would return the following night.
Bottomline: If you are planning a trip to Venice, Italy, we highly recommend Relais. It is not in the city center, but it is close enough (a 20 minute drive) that you can enjoy the tourism and hustle and bustle when you go into town, but you can escape the noise and relax in Ca’Sabbioni for your evenings. Grazie Relais Ca’Sabbioni! We hope there are many wonderful years in your future – and we especially hope we can return one day. Ciao!
