Visitors can explore each quarter by hopping on a gondola and traveling down the Grand Canal, which intersects each district.

We don’t pretend that we have got this right but our Pink Triangles are our attempt to give a personal assessment to enable comparisons to be made between the various properties in an area which we feature. Couple this with price and our hotel descriptions and you should be able to make a reasonable assessment.
