Averau

We stayed for a night after a cruise out of Ravenna. Our privately booked guide (Carla) picked us up at the bus station, took us to a boat, and delivered us directly to the front door of this hotel. The hotel is directly on the canal so you go right from the boat to the entrance. There was an employee waiting to help with our luggage, and since we arrived before check in, they helpfully gave us a place to store our luggage, suggested a place for lunch, and since we had a larger party (8 people in three rooms) even called ahead to the restaurant (which was a quick five minute walk away) and made sure tables would be ready for us. In the morning we enjoyed their breakfast, which was enormous and tasty, before meeting Carla once again for a boat ride to the airport. The rooms were clean, the entire property was clean and maintained, and it's in a wonderful part of Venice that is less touristy.

Absolutely 5 star
