Scene
A scene-stealing rooftop terrace with exceptional views
Common areas in this typical venetian hotel are small but generally well-lit, which telegraphs a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Design-wise, Hotel a la Commedia doesn't stray too far away from the local style of ornate patterned upholstery, gold fabric tapestry, and colorful Italian paintings on the wall. This, plus a fabulous central location, has made it a choice hotel for travelers. The big plus here is the fabulous rooftop terrace, where guests can hang out during warmer months to soak in Venice's iconic sights.
Location
On boutique-lined street behind Goldoni Theater
