“From what I gather, this guest house stands out for its location in the Cannaregio district, giving a less crowded, more authentic Venetian feel. The staff apparently excel at helping guests discover unique, local experiences. Add to that a communal terrace with views over the city rooftops, and it makes for a memorable stay.”
