Rarely will you find such an excellent marriage of price, atmosphere, and genuine warmth at any Venice hotel. Roberto Zammattio is constantly expanding and upgrading his 20-room pensione in a 13th-century palazzo near the Rialto Bridge.
"One thing I will never change," declares Roberto. "Is our one-star status. I prefer to take in a few Euro less, but still give a bit more to guests; that way everyone is happy."
What makes this small hotel one of Venice's best is not just the convenient location and welcoming atmosphere—Roberto's so friendly that departing guests often hug and cheek-kiss him goodbye (though this may have to do with the fact that he resemble a long-lost Baldwin brother). It's what you get for the low prices.
The good-sized rooms with their patched-up chipped-stone flooring and historic Venice photos are spruced up with Murano lamps, scraps of frescoes in a few (best in no. 3), and a stupendous melange of antique-yet-homey furnishings.
"I stole everything I could from the houses of my grandmother and my aunties," Roberto nods sagely.
Rooms overlooking the Rialto market to a sliver of Grand Canal and the Ca d'Oro beyond tend to be smaller—and quite noisy during the early-morning market.
Roberto also rents some lovely, fully equipped apartments in the building and near San Marco.
