My husband, friends, and I had a wonderful stay at this palazzo in Venice during Carnivale! Here's a brief summary of our experience in the palazzo.
The good:
-nice, quiet location in less touristy area
-the morning light is bright & lovely in the sitting room
-groceries, cafes/restaurants, and shopping are nearby
-prominent vaparetto stop that runs late into the night
-Anna, the property manager, was very kind and responsive to our questions and needs
-Having daily housekeeping was great
-Being on the Grand Canal was incredible!
The not so good:
-SUPER slippery floors/steps/rugs (several of us fell and got badly bruised)
-Beds are big, but several were stiff and uncomfortable for side sleepers
-The second set of steps leading up to the front door are steep and slick. We had to very gingerly walk down them and tightly hold the handrail.
-There is no elevator, and getting luggage up the steps was an ordeal
Other things to note are:
-The San Polo church (Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari) has wonderful marble and paintings from famous Italian artists.
-Most of the electrical outlets are old style 3-prong configuration. Bring your adaptors.
-Getting to San Marco (or back again) takes a little more planning and effort. You will need a vaporetto, traghetto, or to cross the Rialto or Accademia bridge to get on the other side.
