When we travel we don't like to spend a lot of time lounging around a hotel. We want to go and see. I picked Lisbona because of the EXCELLENT location. I am so glad I did. It is a small hotel (only 15 rooms I think) with small rooms (think smaller than an inside cruise ship cabin) but darling, old Venetian decor and comfortable bed and air. The rooms overlook a side canal that is busy with singing gondaliers that parade by and make you feel like you are in a movie. The concierges we interacted with were so nice and helpful. One helped us determine the best transportation on Volgalonga Sunday and one had breakfast ready a half hour early so we could eat before we had to leave Venice early on our last day. The hotel is three minutes walk to St. Mark's Square and central to walk to nearly every cool site/museum/chiesa you could want to see. Don't forget to bring your power adapter if you are from the States. The water bus stop closest to the hotel is S. Maria del Giglio. If you use google maps to get to the hotel, don't plug in the hotel name, plug in Campo San Moise then, on the Calle Larga XXII Marzo side of the bridge (other side of bridge from the Chiesa), go toward hotel Violino D'Oro and go along the canal to the entrance. I loved this quaint, convenient, very Venetian, place to stay. Oh, and the breakfast really was quite good.
