Full review

I booked a standard double room in the Ca' Dei Conti hotel (on expedia) for 3 nights in early January 2008, as a romantic break for my boyfriend and I. We fell in love with the place!.

The hotel is incredibly easy to find by public water bus, you just get off at the San Zaccaria stop and follow the directions given on the hotel website. It's situated only a few minutes walk from St. Marks Square, but is incredibly quiet and secluded, so there is no noise or disturbances.

The hotel itself is incredibly beautiful, as you walk over the little private bridge and enter into the hotel lobby, you're struck by just how beautiful this little hotel is. Checking in is very easy and the staff are friendly and speak fluent English. You are also given a map of Venice on arrival and the receptionist will circle all the main points of interest that are nearby. The porter will quickly whisk your bags up to your room and you're made to feel very welcome.

Our room was beautifully furnished and very luxurious with exposed wooden beams on the ceiling. The bed was incredibly comfortable and there was a safe in the wardrobe and a flat screen TV mounted on the wall opposite the bed. The bathroom was very elegant with a large gold mirror and marble sink.

The housekeeping staff were brilliant and attended to our room on a daily basis, changing all the towels and the bedding and restocking the toiletries basket.

The continental breakfast was delicious, with a wide array of food on offer. Never before have I tasted such wonderful croissants - they're definitely worth mentioning as they were just so tasty!.

As previously mentioned, the central location of this hotel is ideal as it's very near to all the main attractions in Venice and makes getting around on foot very easy. The Rialto bridge is just a short stroll away and many beautiful little churches can be found if you go off of the tourist path a bit.

All in all, I can't wait to go back to the Ca' Dei Conti. It's definitely one of my favourite hotels that I've stayed in and I recommend it to everyone who is looking for a hotel in Venice.
