We had four wonderful days in Venice. The Gritti Palace was a huge part of that experience, from the welcome off of the boat at the door right through until we left. Whilst the room was a little smaller than expected, it had everything we needed. The bathroom was gorgeous, and the housekeeping and turndown service took care of everything. Breakfast was wonderful, and we had a great start to each day overlooking the Grand Canal. The terrace on the Canal was perfect for an afternoon re-charge each day. The spa is stunning - we should have been more organised to have treatments arranged in advance. Arriving back to 12 magnificent red roses in our room on my birthday was a particularly lovely surprise! Location was perfect for us, and we will definitely return to The Gritti.
