Locanda Al Leon by Jamie Dunford Wood

Very friendly and very tiny, this locanda of just 9 rooms is in an ancient 15thC merchant's house a short way from St Marks and the Riva. A narrow wooden staircase leads to a small wood-paneled breakfast area and heavy original beams. Rooms are tastefully done in a light Venetian style, in pinks and creams with carved bedheads. The junior suite is the largest, while 23 is the most attractive double room with three windows.
