CimaRosa Boutique B&B

The supremely stylish B&B in the quiet northern Santa Croce district has just five beautiful rooms, their colours picking up the hues of the city. On the ground oor, the water of the Grand Canal laps outside the windows of a chic but comfortable living room where breakfast is served. Upstairs, a kitchenette has tea- and coffee- making equipment plus a fridge to keep your wine cool. Three of the bedrooms overlook the canal. Owner-manager Brittany and her architect husband created this Venetian home-from-home; her all-female team cossett guests through their stay. Book early because returnee guests fill the place up quickly.
