Review
In a 17th-century villa in the Dorsoduro district near the Accademia Bridge is a treasure of a pensione, or bed-and-breakfast, that has pretty gardens, twenty-five comfortable antiques-filled rooms and warm service. It’s no wonder that most of its guests are repeaters. The villa on the Grand Canal, once the Russian embassy, was transformed into a hotel in the 1950s. The Salsamo family, who also own the Ala hotel and now rent some apartments, have filled its rooms with antiques and treasures from the region.
