Enjoying a particularly privileged location, this charming, luxurious hotel is the ideal choice if you're looking for the more intimate side of Venice. Occupying a palace that belonged to the Da Fiol family, just a few steps from the Piazza San Marco, it has been completely restored as a temple to sleek, chic design. An effortless, playful blend of authentic Baroque ostentation and present-day avant garde, the interiors are instantly likable, and far removed from those of the conventional Venetian hotel. Bathrooms with black and gold tilework, cutting-edge lamps, two-tone silk wall-coverings combined with bold, solid colours, and designer furniture – every detail is the result of an overflowing originality and an emphasis on luxury and comfort. Surrounded by the canals and gardens of the historic Castello district, just moments from the heart of Venice, you'll certainly get the most out of your stay. The small scale of the hotel means that staff are particularly attentive, and will be more than happy to suggest itineraries and guided tours, and offer tips on places not to miss.

Rooms have views onto the canal or the private inner courtyard, and are fitted with Venetian-style or parquet floors, as well as large, comfortable beds and cutting-edge furniture. All have air-conditioning and heating, broadband wired and Wi-Fi internet connection, and flat-screen televisions with satellite channels. The bathrooms are decorated with precious Bisazza mosaic and some have Jacuzzis or hydromassage showers. Some rooms also have a terrace. The hotel has a cosy, cheerfully decorated and very pleasant room where you can enjoy a buffet breakfast, as well as another that can be used for meetings. If you're feeling peckish, the area is dotted with 'bacari,' typical Venetian inns.

The Ai Due Principi Hotel is located close to the Piazza San Marco and the Mercerie shopping area, as well as the Rialto and Riva degli Schiavoni areas. Located in the old Castello district, it is surrounded by a Venice removed from the usual tourist flow, with quiet, peaceful streets. Just outside is the church of San Zaccaria, which houses one of Bellini's masterpieces and the tombs of some of Venice's doges. To the north you will also find the Basilica dei Santi Giovanni e Paolo.
