Excellent hotel situated in awesome location where the Grand Canal and lagoon merge. The hotel staff were fantastic - they were polite and helpful and delightful people! The hotel was immaculately clean. The room was lovely - rich wood paneling and well appointed with very large and comfortable bed, excellent strong a/c, fridge, coffee/tea maker, tv, phone, laptop safe, two large storage closets - one with drawers, marble bathroom with plentiful daily free toiletries, thick towels, comfy slippers, and windows looking out onto truly one of the most gorgeous views in Venice!! A tasty breakfast was available each morning with made-to-order coffees (cappucino was delicious!) One could eat inside or outside at tables under huge umbrellas and overlook the lagoon. We loved our stay at Hotel Bucintoro! Many kind thanks to the hotel manager and to Nicolo, Antonella, & Nicola. Also thank you most kindly for assisting the scheduling of water taxi from the airport. * Thank you dear staff of Hotel Bucintoro, we hope to return again someday! *
