when I arrived to check in I was told there was a problem with the water and I was to stay the night in a nearby hotel. The lovely porter took my suitcase to the new hotel which turned out to be a disappointment. Very small room at the top of a four story building, with no lift.
Was glad to actually get back to Corte Contarina the next afternoon. Found my luggage had been collected and was in my room on the 2nd floor. Again, no lift, but the room turned out to be so delightful I didn’t mind all the stairs. Obviously had been a very special hotel at some stage and although a bit run down now, it still showed all the old class. Room was spacious with lovely wooden beams in the ceiling, attractive antique furniture, a decent big bed, in room safe, minibar and big wardrobe.
Bathroom had been modernised a little and was roomy enough but the shower was pretty small.
Everything was clean and all the amenitities were there.
Breakfast didn’t have a lot of variety but everything was fresh and well presented. Even got a little rubbish bin on the table for scraps. Wifi, like all the internet I used in Italy was patchy with a weak signal
Great street with a super market lots of restaurants a lovey big park and 5 mins walk from Giardini boat stop. Would definitely stay again if I ever get back to Venice.
