Very nice Boutique Hotel in Venice!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/11/07
I went here last July with some friends of mine and my family.
I like this Hotel a lot!
Location is great: the view from my room was directly on the lagoon and St. Mark square is just few steps from the Hotel. Rooms are very nice, quite big and clean and the rooms on the front have also idromassage bath tube. My friends had two standard rooms: they were a little bit smaller than our rooms ( we had superior one) but also pretty nice: one has the shower and the view on the side canal and the other one has the idromassage tube and the view on the small interior garden.
We also had dinner on the terrace on the rooftop: from there view is spectacular, food was simple but good quality and medium-low price.
Staff with us was very friendly. When we arrived they welcome us, they gave us a map and they explained us a lot of things about Venice and what was happening in the City in that period: museum, events, concerts...they also offered us a free journey to Murano island: we left directly from the Hotel private boat gate and we went to Murano with a private taxi boat free of charge (taxi boat in Venice is very expensive! I paied 120 Euro from the airport to the Hotel for 6 pax! that's crazy...). Murano was a great experience...my parents bought an hand made small chandelier and they send it to us directly at home.
Breakfast at the Locanda is lovely...lots of cakes, cookies, cereals, fresh bread, fruit...lots of everything...maybe I ate too much and I think my "weightwatcher’s agent " won't agree with the diet I had during my holiday....but you know...holiday is holiday!!! :-)
Locanda Vivaldi doesn't have any wireless internet connection in the room so I can't use my lap top to check my e-mail....they should have one...anyway an internet point was available in the Lobby, but it wasn't possible to print.
I suggest this Hotel to everyone who want to have a great experience here in Venice!
I think I will definitely come back.
