Walking around this hotel is a treat, as it could also be called a museum, with rare artisan craftsmanship and one of a kind historic design, sculpture and artwork throughout. Built around 1500's and restored by an art afficionado family over a hundred years ago, we never got tired of looking at the ceilings, columns, terrazo, mosaic art, lighting and design. Then there are the rooms... More originality. Apparently, they are all different, large and extravagant, uniquely designed and furnished. The Rezzonico water taxi stop is convenient, right outside the door as a bonus, and there are squares, restaurants and shopping nearby. You can walk to San Marco square in about 20 minutes. The restaurant and bar is quaint, menu decent if you desire to stay onsite, and has both indoor and outdoor dining (outdoor right on the canal). Great stay, location, and experience all the way around, definitely a hotel we will not forget.
