Hotel Casanova

 This outwardly plain and unelaborated property has inside much more character than you might expect, with thoughtful use of traditional furnishings in its fairly limited public areas.

It enjoys a central position in the heart of the action, with a wide range of eating and drinking choices on the doorstep, and is very close to St. Mark's Square and many of the major sights. Should not be confused with 5-star Bauer Casa Nova, an annexe to the nearby Hotel Bauer.

A plain terracotta 5-storey mid-terrace 17th-century building with green shutters.

The compact white-walled stone-floored reception has a very historic feel, with a wood-beamed ceiling and elaborate 16th-century church pews.

This was formerly the breakfast room, now relocated to a much larger and brighter space on the 1st-floor, with red seats and white tables and walls, looking over the busy shopping street below.
