Indeed as can be read in guides from that period a "Pellegrino" hotel was already operating in the nineteenth century a harbour for many Italian and foreign travellersHoused in a palace that can be dated back to the XVI century the hotel has recently been renovated to provide a more modern and inviting facilityLaid out over four floors its interiors are furnished with taste and simplicity and are serviced by a convenient lift Marble and pale wood fittings are featured in the hall and dining room which overlooks the Calle delle Rasse
Advantages: Great hotel, great location? Disadvantages: Perhaps too big!
...Last year in the Sunday supplements I read about the new Hilton Hotel that had just opened in Venice and they had comments on the wonderful views and the roof terrace.
As we had booked to visit Venice in March of this year, and had been several times before this was an opportunity to see another view of Venice from a different area.
I had read that it is a large hotel and thinking about Venice and the size it must be out of the main Venice tourist area, we had not seen any building work on that scale the year before.
The Hilton hotel is in the Giudecca area of Venice away from St. Mark's Square. We had to catch a water bus from San Zaccaria, over to Zitelle and then just wondered along until we arrived at the Hilton which is the other end of Giudecca Island.
They do say that Elton John has a house in this part of Venice...

...Last November I took my third trip to Venice. It hadn’t been my intention to go at all; this holiday was a joint birthday present from me to my parents but they insisted that I go along with them to show them around. Venice is a beautiful and unique city, so how could I refuse?
◄Discovering Hotel Campiello►
I discovered the Hotel Campiello on my second trip to Venice a few years ago. We were on a 10 day trip to Italy and had decided to spend most of the time in Rome and Florence, trying to leave 2 or 3 days free to include Venice. We had booked our hotels in Rome and Florence in advance but left the booking of the Venice leg until we were in Rome. We were staying at Hotel Paba in Rome (itself a gem of a place) and told the owner that we were thinking of booking into one of the big luxury hotels in the Venice Lido for 2...

...everyone will get up to leave, don't get confused with a train station half way to Venice as some people did when we went, they quickly jumped back on the coach. There is a train station IN Venice, but we did not visit it.
Finding which water bus to take is not too bad, some only go to certain stops; others go directly to Lido Island, some go around the outsides and some go to every single stop up the Grand Canal, get on this on! Bus route 1.
FINALLY, The Hotel MANIN was the third stop after passing under the rialto bridge. The entrance to the hotel is stunning, the concierge spoke clear English and the cases where whipped away, passports checked and he escorted us up to our room. It had a small balcony looking right onto the Grand Canal, the Rialto Bridge was to our right, and so close you could hit it with a tennis ball.
The room was...
