Top 10 Hotels with Charm
-
1. Pensione La Calcina
In 1877 Ruskin stayed at this guesthouse on the Zattere, as the friendly staff eagerly explain. Of course, the rooms have been modernized since those days but they have retained their charm and parquet floors. An exclusive street-level terrace overlooks the Giudecca Canal, while another surveys the rooftops. Advance reservations are essential.
-
2. Accademia Villa Maravege
Book well ahead to stay in this beautiful 17th-century villa near the Accademia (see Accademia Galleries), which was formerly the Russian embassy. Breakfast can be enjoyed in the private garden.

3. Giorgione
A comfortable 4-star hotel with high standards, a warm reception and a pretty garden. Last-minute special offers.

4. Ca’ della Corte
Charming bed-and-breakfast with spotless rooms, which boast all the latest equipment, such as satellite TV. Very handy to Piazzale Roma.

Though small, the pretty courtyard with creeping greenery is an oasis of calm after the city crowds. Good views from the upper rooms.
