La Chicca

Venice


It's neatly wedged between Dorsoduro’s trifecta of museums – Accademia, Peggy Guggenheim and Punta della Dogana – yet all you’ll hear at night in this elegant B&B is the lapping of the canal at the end of the lane. Hosts Sabrina and Massimo are helpful, and their damask-clad, terrazzo-floored guestrooms are glitzy and spacious.
