This review is about my time at the magnificent and luxury hotel the Burj Al Arab. I was lucky enough to spend two nights at this hotel during New Years Eve and New Years day 2008/2009. I had a friend who?s dad did a tone of import export business and thus I even managed to stay their for free, yes that?s right for free, under the condition that I paid for all my own food, and drink, which I was more than happy to at the time.
Now everyone has either heard about this hotel, been their or at least seen the pictures of what it looks like, and let me tell you its even more breathtaking in real life. This review will hopefully give you an insight into the hotel, information regarding all the rooms in particular the one I stayed in, what the facilities are like, what the food and bar is like as well as the service provided by the hotel ...
Advantages: Known by few other than locals. Disadvantages: I am telling you.
We have travelled to Venice every year in or around the end of March for the past 7 years and each time we go we are amazed that we find something new to see visit or experience each time.
This year we came across the Al Marca bar.
Catch the vaporetti along the Grand Canal and get off at the Mercato di Rialto stop. You could get off at the Rialto Bridge stop and walk over the bridge and into the square but the Mercato stop leads you directly into the square.
Any time during the day there are people at the bar milling about with a coffee, la umbro, (a small wine) or a beer. As it is next to the Court of Justice it is busy, busy, busy but take time out of your day to sit on the bench and soak up Venice watch the Venetian's going about their business away from St. Mark's and the bustle of the day trippers.
Call back in ...
Advantages: great location, run by a friendly english speaking family Disadvantages: none
and worked well, and overall the room was very clean.
The continental breakfast was one of the most impressive things about the hotel, where most hotels will offer one plate of cheese and a few bread rolls, Al Piave produced a selection of italian meats (my favourite) and cheese, plus croissants, toast, cakes, fruit, and cereal. With fresh Italian coffee and orange juice.
In conclusion the Hotel Al Piave is one of the nicest hotels I have stayed in. Friendly staff, fantastic location, Perfect for a short Venice break. ...

Manufacturer's product description
Opened in the 19th century as a small osteria, the "Bunch of Grapes" became the meeting place of artists and movie stars back in the 1960s. Today, it serves a faithful clientele of wealthy Italians. The decor is a miscellanea of plants, sculpture, candlelight, and paintings set against brick and white-stucco walls. The owner, Lucio Zanon, speaks fluent English and will introduce you to a wide-ranging menu of fresh pasta, seasonal risotto, and meat and seafood. A treat in late spring is the thick white asparagus from Bassano, which, with a couple of fried eggs, is eaten as a main course. Desserts are all homemade.
