Villa Contarini

Our only complaint was there wasn’t ample lighting - also in two of our rooms the outlets were inoperable. The rooms were very comfortable and spacious though. It’s a quiet area in Venice that we appreciated being in after long days with lots of people. Nice little restaurants close and a water taxi stop that was never busy :)

The location and breakfast were excellent. The hotel could be kept a bit more clean and tidy. We visited a few similar hotels around the Grand Canal, and all were similar in price and much more cleaner, bigger and better looking. Having no elevator was a huge issue, as we had to go up and down with our luggage. There was help with a porter taking things up, but not when coming down.
