“This family-run Venetian house, nestled moments from Palazzo Grimani, provides a genuinely local stay; expect clean, comfortable rooms, plus exceptionally helpful owners, always ready with tips. Its central location makes it easy to explore main attractions and hidden gems, and the owners' dog-friendly policy is a rare, welcome touch. I think it's a find.”
