3/5

We chose this hotel as it looked really stunning and was in the outskirts of the island of Venice. The service from the get go was outstanding; the reception was incredibly helpful and extremely knowledgeable. His passion for Venice shined through and we were both very pleased with our welcome to the hotel. The hotel itself is exquisite. It's like going back in time in Venice, the glass chandeliers, the seating areas, the widen beamed ceilings, the stone and brickwork floors everything here is stunning. The breakfast service was great. Everything was beautifully presented and the espresso was delicious. The swimming pool and the area around the pool is well kept, comfortable and clean. Be warned though; if you want to eat at the restaurant I would recommend you book in advance. We only stayed for two nights and I tried to book a table for dinner twice but to no avail. From what I understand from the manager's explanation, they only offer a exclusive dinner service from 7:30pm-11:30pm, so if you don't book in advance you're basically screwed. We stayed here during a great wave, and after spending the day in Venice, walking around the last thing I wanted to do was to search for a restaurant in the surrounding areas, which by the way, it's not very nice and the parking situation there is quite tricky. Due to the whole restaurant situation, I wouldn't stay here again, but if you want to experience a stunningly beautiful hotel, then go for it. Oh and also, or room had quite a bit of wear and tear which was a bit of an eye sore, but maybe they have it too us because we booked with Secret Escapes.
