Palazzo Dei Fiori by Room Mate
Venice|0.27km from Galleria dell'Accademia
Palazzo dei Fiori is a remarkable find! So pleased we chose it: we could not have had a better stay. Newly opened, the beautifully refurbished and decorated palazzo is in a great location and has HUGE rooms. It's the first time we have chosen an apartment in Venice rather than a hotel room and it makes such a difference! We've always liked Room Mate but this time they have really created something special. The palazzo is a perfect combination of old and modern, and the funky furnishings by Teresa Sapey make a very pleasant change from the baroque and rococco overload you'll get everywhere else. There's a well equipped small kitchen, which is great for breakfast or a light supper. Super comfortable bed and bedding; lovely bright bathrooms with fluffy towels. The apartments are cleaned every other day, which is a great joy when self catering. Nice views from the upper floors. On the other side of the canal is the Benedetto Marcello Conservatoire of Music, so open your windows in the daytime and you may hear some heavenly music drifting by, which adds to the atmosphere. We were really lucky to be upgraded to the Faggio apartment - 2000 sq ft with a wonderful terrace. So much nicer to come home after an exhausting day sightseeing to a proper sized flat than a tiny hotel room...and all for the same price! Marco the manager is charming, as is concierge Gianluca, and all staff are really helpful with tips for local restaurants and bars. We will definitely return! Le Café, just round the corner on Campo Santo Stefano, is great for breakfast and the Tavernetta San Maurizio in the opposite direction serves delicious local food in the evenings. But for great lunches try the cafe in the Museo Correr: quiet, the best view of St Mark's Square imaginible, charming wall murals and normal prices! You don't need to go into the museum, though you do need to go through security.
Excellent
