Phi Hotel Canalgrande
I love this hotel so much. I told everyone, this is what I want from a hotel when I’m in Italy! Beautiful entry/lobby. Clean, well appointed room. I did have the balcony room, which was just luxury to sit out there and enjoy a coffee. The garden space also offers quiet space to breathe. This is right ...

Europa
Great position! The property is not new and the bathroom was not really spacious (specifically the space between the wc closet and the shower) but overall that’s ok
