    The cost of the stay was excessive but we believe this was due to the Venice film festival There was some work being done in the area outside our room. The noise of the drilling was very noisy. Fortunately we had a sleep at the pool (we had a very early flight) so we just put up with the noise. This was only a small issue, we would still definitely recommend the hotel

    Staff, breakfast, water shuttle, everything was excellent

    Everything! The beautiful grounds were the highlight of our visit. We actually skipped the city for two days to enjoy the parklike grounds and pool area.

    To be honest the breakfast is at the lowest Level for a 5 Star Hotel. You got this Beautiful Island , amazing rooms, everything amazing and then a breakfast which is poor as it gets. If the Management change that no complain.

    The Island is Amazing. In venice you will not find any Hotel like this. The rooms are amazing and during your stay the minibar is included.The Island offers Everything. The stuff is very young and super friendly. Amazing

    There weren't too many options for Vegan's at the breakfast so I was a bit limited. Otherwise it was very nice, and my partner (who isn't vegan) had a lot of choice.

    The staff was very kind, we were upgraded which was lovely and they were super helpful when we asked them for assistance booking activities and restaurants.

    No champagne on the breakfast 😢 so wanted to have it) And two times we tried to have a lunch or dinner on the terrace near the main entrance, but first time it was kitchen and bar closed and second time it was long waiting of the waiter. Need to make a good entertainment on the terrace and there will be a lot of visitors or may be it will be enough to fix service a little bit.

    Oh mama Mia! It was my best experience in my life! Wonderful hotel, Venice, beautiful transfer by boat (which is much more create a vibe of this hotel) The staff is on the TOP level of service. Concierge is perfect (has a small trip to the glass factory, advice about Venice’s restaurants, and have got amazing wooden boat for the transfer back to the railway station) Housekeeping came twice per day into our room. At midday for cleaning and before evening to prepare our room for sleeping.

    Zero, everything was great.

    San Marco was booked up, but that was a blessing….we found San Clemente, it’s own island paradise in Venice only a 10 minute boat ride away and out of the chaos. Coming back to beautiful grounds, gardens, pool..& all in an historic building. Even a sculpture garden. It was a complete respite. Food and staff were incredible and the property value for money.

    Service is good, but on one occasion they were a bit understaffed at the bar near Aquarelle Restaurant. The minibar could be more varied. Also the side pool restaurant food could be improved.

    The property is beautiful and imposing, the garden is stunning. Rooms are large and comfortable, but a bit austere. The breakfast and the food in Aquarelle Restaurant were very good. The private shuttle boat to San Marco is very convenient and it runs until midnight.

    Nothing really , everything was top. Maybe if we want it to be even better , improve room service. In terms of food quality but also speed of delivery. Room service needs to check the in-suite mini bar more often.

    1)Mr Selim the owner is making sure the hotel is run at the highest standard. 2)The private island of San Clemente provides top tranquility and privacy minutes away from the center. 3)Very nice historical church and beautiful lush gardens surround the hotel. 4)The hotel itself is a palace, amazing floor to ceiling height, spacious rooms and suites. 5)Aquarello restaurant is certainly better than the old Buddha bar. 6)Most importantly very good concierge and staff overall.

    Beautifully isolated from the mainstream with spacious facilities and pool. You could spend days in the island without even travelling to Venice if you so wished. The regular courtesy boat provides the link to and Fro across the lagoon to Venice, and to all the sights and sumptuous restaurants. The concierge team especially Michael are extremely helpful
