Hotel Falier

The two-star Hotel Falier, located in central Santa Croce, is a comfortable bet with 19 tidy rooms and a professional, marble-floored lobby.

The Hotel Falier’s mid-sized rooms are pretty and predictable. They come in shades of gold and blue, with blue carpet, ornate rugs and yellow damask walls. All rooms are equipped with TV, telephone, air conditioning, safe, and free Wi-Fi.

The most interesting thing we spotted was that room #41 has a private terrace—request when booking.

The private bathrooms are smart and tidy, dotted with blue tiles. All are equipped with a shower and hairdryer.

We found the staff at the Hotel Falier to be friendly and professional—and we were happy, though not surprised, to see a cleaning lady outfitted in a traditional black-and-white “maid” number. Given the old school air about this place, it was totally fitting.

A continental breakfast, available for an extra fee, is served in a classy parlor, with red velvet couches, café tables and dark wooden beams and mirrors. A private courtyard garden, packed with flowers, is open in the summer.
