Hotel Flora

The simple name of this small, charming hotel refers to its greatest attribute: a jewel-like patio garden immediately beyond the welcoming lobby. A delightful place to have breakfast, afternoon tea, or an aperitif, the garden is enclosed by climbing vines and ivy-covered walls, with an antique well, potted flowers, and blooming plants that create a cool green enclave. Seamlessly run by two generations of the highly professional Romanelli family and their friendly staff, the Flora is ideally located on a tony shopping street close to Piazza San Marco. Despite rooms that can vary greatly (in size and furnishings) and small bathrooms, it is forever full of loyal devotees and romance-seekers. On the top floor, room no. 47 looks onto what is allegedly the palazzo of Desdemona (of Shakespeare's tragedy Othello), with the dome of La Salute church beyond. The hotel added a fitness room in late 2009.

The owners of Hotel Flora also run a hotel in the same area: Locanda Novecento (San Marco 2683-2684; tel. 041-241-3765; fax 041-521-2145; www.locandanovecento.it), a boutique hotel offering luxury accommodations in nine rooms, each decorated along the theme of "1900." Rooms have the same amenities as the Flora, while the prices are about 40€ higher.
