Boasting a traditional floors ?alla Veneziana? and typical local lead-latticed windows ? created by Murano glass masters ? the guest house offers a complete array of modern services provided in the best hotels.
This mix of tradition and modernity has been the guide spirit of Gianfranco and Marco, the young Venetian owners, in overseeing every detail of this residence. Every morning, for example, particular care is paid to breakfast, served (upon request) either at the dining hall or in your room.
In the evening, you may participate in a ?briefing? that includes suggestions and detailed
recommendations to help our guests see places which are a bit hidden and therefore are less visited by the common tourist, discover with little effort the magic history and mystery of the city: from Ugo Pratt?s Imaginary Venice (adapted from his Corto Maltese drawings and texts) to a Venice of fun and pleasure of the old taverns.
Each room is named after a famous historical Venetian personality and evokes in its style and interior furnishings the atmosphere of a period residence. All rooms include private bathrooms, heating and air-conditioning, hair-dryers, satellite TVs, direct-line telephones, Internet connections, safes and mini-bars.
A number of rooms are also easily accessible for people with physical disabilities.
It is 50 meters from the Grand Canal, situated in the Rialto neighbourhood, the hotel can be easily reached either on foot or using public transportation. Indeed, it is just a few steps away from one of the most popular places in the city, the Rialto market, where you can feel an artistic atmosphere.
From here, it is only five-minutes? walk to such places as the Scuola Grande of San Rocco, the Basilica of the Frari, Ca? Pesaro Modern Art Museum, as well as the Rialto Bridge and Campo San Polo ? which is an important venue during the Venice Carnival and during the Venice Film Festival when the square is turned into an open cinema.
But there are additional attractions beyond art: everyday Venetian life among small arts and crafts shops, fascinating voices and colours which make Venice so unique.
