Five Star Alliance Client Reviews - Bauer Il Palazzo

Maurice, London, United Kingdom. August, 2006

"A pleasure to stay in this hotel. I liked the location and service."

Julie, Venice, Italy. March, 2006

"The Bauer Palazzio a was very personable and friendly establishment. We received fantastic service and very warm hospitality to our every needs. The rooms were clean and in excellent condition considering, especially, the age of the Palazzio. Location was excellent. We enjoyed the warm, personal welcomes we received daily as we traversed the small, cozy lobby of the Palazzio hotel. The suites we booked were a perfect size for our family. The bathrooms were spacious with a great jacuzzi bath and separate, very nice shower. Service was impeccable, cleansiness was to the detail...the restaurant on the roof was alittle expensive for breakfast, but it was so pleasantly staffed that we didn't mind starting our mornings there. We used the gym every night. There was equipment sufficient for a pleasant workout and the physical fitness expert who staffed the gym was fantastic. He readily came up to us to offer personal training tips. He was very friendly and very professional. The front desk staff guided us in all our needs and were a great source of referral for restaurant recommendations and concert events. Don't miss out on a Vivaldi concerto while in Venice...it was an unbelievably beautiful experience for our family. The location of the hotel was great. Easy access to all the Venice destinations and smack in to the middle of the shopping meca of Venice. "
