Hotel Locanda ai Bareteri
Tucked down a quiet calle moments from the Rialto Bridge and San Marco, this small, spotlessly kept Venetian locanda wins guests over with its old-style Italian décor, comfortable rooms, some with little balconies, a rooftop terrace where you can watch the sun set over the Basilica with a glass of wine, and the warmly attentive host Luca, who leaps to carry luggage, arranges water taxis, and dispenses tips on gondolas and restaurants with the ease of someone born to the role.
