We stayed at the Hotel Ai Cavalieri from November 30th to December 4th, 2025, and we have nothing but high praise for the staff, the location, the breakfast, and the comfort - a real gem!||The hotel has 33 rooms or so, and is built for servicing a small number of guests, which we appreciate. It's location is near the hustle and bustle of the city (maybe a 5 minute walk), but practically hidden away from it all as it's positioned in a building (a former nobleman's house, we were told) on an oh-so-quiet narrow street. A small supermarket is perhaps 75 meters from the street entrance, which we used more than once to pick up snacks and beverage. ||The breakfast was buffet style, and worked perfectly for us, with a variety of juices, breads, fruits, yoghurt, delicious fresh cakes and savories, and warm foods (scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, mixed vegetables). We had daily cappuccinos with our breakfast, but all manners of warm drinks were available. The staff were attentive and friendly, definitely adding to the pleasantness of the surroundings.||One evening we visited the Hotel's BAT Bar, and had lovely cocktails in an absolutely gorgeous setting to background music of Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong and other easy jazz from the that period. Wonderful - not inexpensive, but worth it. Our bartender was splendid and engaging. ||The reception staff were knowledgeable and helpful on all matters, always with a smile :-)||The building itself was a period piece of Venetian style and grace. ||For those who want an intimate, warm and pleasant stay, this is a strong option. As you can tell, we really, really liked it and felt right at home there. It was a wonderful launch point for a magical visit to Venice.
