Hotel Novecento in Venice ★★★  

The stylish Novecento Boutique Hotel is tucked away in Calle del Dose, off Campo San Maurizio, between St. Mark's Square and the Accademia Gallery. The hotel offers its guests the chance to stay enveloped in an evocative atmosphere, created by a decor steeped in Orientalism and a passion for exquisite materials and fabrics. The original furniture and tapestries from both the Mediterranean world and the Far East give the nine rooms, all with en-suite bathroom, an exclusive and refined character. The rooms blend the allure of an elegant exoticism with the most up-to-date facilities. Those who would like to spend time relaxing in the hotel will find a comfortable sitting room where they can read and help themselves to a drink from the 'honesty bar'. When the weather is good, breakfast can be served in the small garden. The staff is friendly and attentive, as has come to be expected from the Romanelli family, hoteliers in Venice for generations.
