Palazzo Paruta & Wellness Apartments

Excellent location. Very close to a pier with ferry stops, an easy walk to the San Marco area as well as Rialto Bridge. Our room was a junior suite, which slept 4 and was quite large. Marble floor, upholstered walls, artwork on the walls, it was very nice. Front door of the hotel is right on a canal, which meant the private boat we took to the airport was able to pull right up to the front door and pick us up, like a limo ride on water. Plenty of good restaurants in the area where the locals eat. Staff were a mixed bag. Soome were inattentive, but there was one dark-haired woman who was just fabulous. So nice, full of information and suggestions. I wish I had gotten her name. She worked the day shift. Breakfast was standard italian fare.

no real complaints. Possibly their not having a printer to print out boarding passes on. Had to go look for an internet cafe.

the location and staff were great. it was a challenge to get there because the water was high so had to walk with suitcases over several bridges with steps from the grand canal. good referrals for dining nearby. good breakfasts.

room was small but clean
