Fodor's Expert Review Locanda Ca' Amadi

A historic 13th-century palazzo near the Rialto markets is a welcome retreat on a tranquil corte, (court) and individually decorated rooms have tufted walls and views of a lively canal or a quiet courtyard. The lofty piano nobile highlights architectural features including coffered ceilings, a massive trifora window, antique (reproduction) furniture, and Venetian terrazzo floors. Two exceptionally large rooms keep families comfortable. Note that the canal is a lively one, sometimes late into the evening.
