We went to several places on our European adventure and my husband was responsible for finding/booking the Venice hotel room. I was skeptical b/c he said it was somewhat out of the main tourist area. Well, he did an excellent job and this was the best hotel of our trip! Don't get me wrong--it's not a super luxurious hotel, but it is a clean, pretty, friendly hotel in a wonderful area. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, the room was cozy and beautiful, and the area was quiet and beautiful. After traveling around Europe for two weeks, I was thrilled to NOT be staying in the middle of the tourist area! It was only a 15-20 minute (great) walk into town and as soon as I got there, I wanted to go back "to our neighborhood!" The restaurant they recommended was wonderful--we went twice! If you stay at his hotel, you get a real taste of italy and Venice. And don't worry--it is extremely safe. It is highly recommended! Only problem was that the internet/computer did not work, but who needs the internet?? :)
My only recommendation is that they update the directions to the hotel on the website--we got lost trying to find it!
