About the author
I have stayed at Pensione Guerrato in March. I found it really noisy at night with thumpa thumpa music going strong from a nearby bar and people gathering at the market tables and carrying on. In the early morning it was noisy as the market got going!!
I used earplugs and pillows to no avail.
I believe serenity in the ‘serenissima’ should be a point of evaluation for your hotel recommendations.
It’s great that you posted this info. My daughter and I are planning a trip to Venice this summer and I really wanted to know where we can stay! Great review! Thanks!
These look wonderful
