Hotel Santa Marina

I visited this hotel in December 2005. It's a beautiful 4-star hotel with a great location, between the Rialto Bridge and Piazza San Marco. There are some pretty bad reviews of this hotel online, but the truth is that I loved it. It's very clean and well-maintained in the Venetian style, with damask fabric, blue wall upholstery, and a bathroom with a tub. The breakfast is a very full buffet, with lots of things to choose from. I read a lot of complaints about the breakfast ... what do these people eat at home?

There was chocolate, tea or coffee. Natural juices, cold cuts, cheese, yogurt, fruit, croissants, Neapolitans, pumpkin scones, tea pastries, bagels, toast bread, toast, crackers, jams, cereals, fruit salad, and Nutella.
