WOW! Perhaps the best hotel experience of my life! The hotel is beautiful and immaculately furnished. It has a very personal feel due to there only being 9 rooms. It’s also one of the only hotels in Venice with a patio on the Grand Canal! The owner, Matteo was on the dock when our boat arrived and greeted us by name which actually caught me a little off guard. Did I mention it was midnight? He insisted that we leave our bags as he escorted us in to the hotel. The receptionist began our check-in and Matteo gave us a tour of his property. He was extremely proud(rightfully so) of his dining area which was an empty room when he purchased it but is now designed beautifully. When Matteo escorted us to our room our bags were already there along with a chilled bottle of prosecco and rose petals. Each time a hotel employee saw us we were greeted by name. This includes employees we had not yet met or even seen. At 7:30 the next morning Matteo was in the dining room making breakfast for all of the guests. I can say with confidence that this is the only place I will ever stay in Venice! Cheers to you and your staff Matteo!
