Locanda Al Leon

My husband and I recently booked a room with a terrace at the Locanda al Leon in Venice for a 3 day stay. On arrival we were greeted warmly and were led across the narrow street to the Ca' Marcella annex. To our surprise, we were led to an airy suite of rooms on the third floor with two terraces, a kitchen, dining table and sitting area with wall-to-wall French doors. We were absolutely delighted with the accommodations. We had a view over the rooftops of Venice and could see the top of the Campanile and parts of St. Mark's as well. With terraces on both sides, we enjoyed both the morning light and the sunset. The rooms were spotless and beautiful. The modern bathroom had good water pressure in the shower and fluffy towels. The bed was comfortable and we slept very well. The hotel breakfast cappuchino was especially good. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The central location was very close to St Mark's Square and the Palazzo Ducale, and just off a small lively square with shops and restaurants. There was also a bakery steps away with delicious pastries and coffee. The San Zaccharia vaporetto stop is very close, which made it easy to transfer from the airport via Alilaguna, and to use the vaporetto. We enjoyed our stay and will be delighted to return someday. Highly recommended!
