Marine Protected Area Capo Rizzuto Tours

It's modern and clean facility which stands out from other nearby older hotels and properties. Front desk staff were friendly and helpful. The bus stop for going into Venice is less than 5mins from the hotel front door. No need to walk to train station.

Palazzo Stern was lovely and on a quiet corner. The people that worked there were very kind and helpful. The full breakfast was very good; we chose from a menu several courses..coffee, a croissant or muffin, a yogurt and a main dish (eggs for example). The service was friendly. They have an outdoor terrace on the water which is just beautiful, but we we did not have luck to use it since it rained during our stay. The lobby is small, includes the reception desk and a small bar off the reception. With a beautiful staircase and decor reminiscent of another era. There are beautiful Murano chandeliers throughout. We had a junior suite for 4 (2 adults, 2 kids) and it was facing the water, which was lovely. Room included a queen bed and two rollaway cots. The room was nice size but all in all we had 3 beds in the suite. If I had seen pictures of the room configuration before the stay, I would not have chosen it due to being too cozy. The bathroom was nice & clean, had a large tub and a hand shower. We talked to the hotel about other room options, but the cost was prohibitive (almost double) for getting another room.. so we made the most of it. In general, Venice is pricey, the room was about 1000EU / night, and as I mentioned before, the hotel staff was helpful and accommodating. They arranged a water taxi (150EU) to the airport, which was convenient, they also arranged a free water taxi to Murano, courtesy of one of the glass factories, they gave us a nice tour.
