Ca' del Campo - Venice, Italy 

After arriving at the rail station, we took the water bus to St. Marks. We had a little difficulty actually finding the hotel the first time, because it has no big sign, but once we did we went into an old building that was TOTALLY modernized and quite lovely. Our room was a triple and it was actually a big bathroom, a room with a single bed connected to a room with a double. We had a lot of space. Decorations were good and the room and bathroom very clean. The breakfast in the morning was good - cereals, juice, bread, cheese etc. The hotel is VERY close to both St. Marks and the Rialto, but it is on a quiet street, right by a gondola stop. I really liked the position as it was easy to go back for a nap and then out to a restaurant in the evening. Venice was cool while we were there, but the room was lovely and warm. Nice hotel and having two rooms for a triple was great.

This place is like a boutique hotel. There is no bar here, the breakfast in the morning is typical European. The rooms are very clean and the staff is very accommodating. If you are going to Venice this is the place to stay. I have been to Venice 3 times and if I ever went back I would stay here. The price is moderate and you get everything that a expensive place has to offer, except a more personal service because of the size. If you go out of hotel and take a right over the bridge and then your first left about 1/2 block down is a grocer and you can pick up some good inexpensive wine and enjoy a glass in the sitting area of the hotel which are party did every night. There were 7 of us with 4 rooms and not one person had a complaint. You can catch the water taxi right out the door by the bridge. There are several restaurants around hotel 2 right across the street (pizzeria), which are great. San Marks Square is a 2 minute walk (if that) and the Rialto Bridge is 5 minute walk.
