FromPiazzale you enter a small courtyard, surrounded by the reception hall of thehotel, which is full of flowers and can be distinguished by the fountain sound.Ideal for a bit of relaxation in the hottest periods of the year! Whenyou enter, you discover the interior décor in a perfect Venetian style: theattention is captured by the Murano glass chandeliers, precious fabrics andantique furniture. There is the reception on the right and a small lounge onthe left. Further along, there is the bar and the breakfast room, bothoverlooking the Grand Canal and a veryVenetian Santa Chiara embankment (Fondamenta di Santa Chiara). Getting outthrough the door on the canal, an Old world and, at the same time, a New one,is discovered: the “cars” float on the water, the rhythms change, the soundsand the perfumes are different.
