originally built in the 18th century and restored in 1984. The typical atmosphere of a venetian house and the friendly staff will make you feel at home.
Advantages: LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION Disadvantages: Not Hotel for the softies out there.
...We Quatro Fontanas (or the Fountain Travel Club) stayed at the casa Franci last October.
The first thing to stress is that this is Bed & Breakfast not a Hotel.
The owner and his Family used to live in this Flat (Apartment) they have made it into a Bed & Breakfast and have another Apartment nearby.
We booked through VENERE.COM which we find is quite a good site for Italian Destinations, one advantage of this site is that you do not have to pay up front when you book. You pay the Hotel on arrival, so if you need to cancel there is no cancellation charges given the correct notice.
The Apartment is located in a Steet to the left of St Peters about 200 yards from St Peters.
When you arrive you need to be in the end of the street furthest from St Peters Just past a Large Church.
You enter through a locked gate...

Advantages: PRICE and GOOD LOCATION Disadvantages: STAIRS AND ATTIC ROOM
...LOCANDA NOVO is a small Hotel , they describe it as an Inn, located on the main Island of Venice.

The Hotel has its own web site WWW.LOCANDANOVO.IT which is quite good, but you will get a better price booking through other sites, but it does show you the official rate...

Advantages: A five-star stay… Disadvantages: …with just three-star facilities
...simplicity often trumps ritzy ostentation. Attentive service matters, but nothing is nastier than the kind of smarmy obsequiousness that always seems to mask a sneer. And so on. Maybe it's simply down to that indefinable essence known as character or personality.
These inconsequential musings are prompted by my trying to pinpoint what it was about the Casa San Blas at Cusco that I liked so much. The hotel is certainly not without its limitations and even its failings, but it's a nevertheless a charming and delightful place to stay. Let's try to summarise what it has to offer.
* Location *
The Casa San Blas is situated just a few minutes' walk from Cusco's Plaza de Armas (central square), and is therefore convenient for all the main sights of the ancient Inca capital, such as the Qorikancha (Sun Temple), the Cathedral...
