The hotel has a beautiful location and provides an exclusive experience with its own pontoon and Riva boat to Venice. While the rooms are small and not as well-equipped as expected for a 5-star hotel, the housekeeping staff was fantastic. The dining options were decent, but I felt it could use some improvements. The service was a bit slow during checkout, which was a letdown given the price point.

The hotel boasts a stunning Moorish design that created a beautiful atmosphere for my stay. The rooms were exceptionally spacious and tastefully decorated, featuring luxurious touches like a double sink in the bathroom and a large closet. However, I found the service somewhat lacking considering the high price of over £400 a night, and the dining options were quite pricey with additional charges for items like omelets. Additionally, the pool area was a lovely retreat after busy days exploring Venice, but it could have been more conveniently located.
