“In the heart of San Lio, this address strikes a serene note, despite its proximity to the Rialto Bridge and St. Mark's Square. I appreciate the Venetian-style décor, which nods to the building's history as the residence of Canaletto, while still feeling fresh and modern. It's a good starting point to discover Venice.”
