Antico Panada

Hotel Montecarlo
"The hotel was wonderful. The quaint hotel you would expect in Venice. Convenient to St. Mark's Square. The breakfast was great. The rooms were comfortable. Be advised since it is an older historic building there are limited electrical outlets. I would stay there again 😊"
