Lookin' good Leo! For being 600 years old and counting, this building sure is in ship-shape condition. Friendly co-owner Giuliano says the Al Leon looks good for her age thanks to the numerous touch-up jobs and add-ons throughout the centuries.
A minute to San Marco, and just off a happening little campo, the hotel packs in charm, convenience, and pleasing design. A 15th-century stone dragon perches outside, 200-year-old woodwork and damask deck the walls, and a Belle Epoque wrought-iron banister curls its way upstairs.
Rooms are good size considering the ancient space they had to work with. Soft pinks and creams, rich brocade, Murano glass light fixtures, and original Venetian painted wood furnishings make rooms both elegant and cozy. Mint green bathrooms are fresh and clean, and once again, pretty darn spacious!
The Greers from Dawsonville, Georgia were totally enthused about place, and with a knowing nod to Giuliano, told us to "stick with this guy." |
