Telegraph Travel - Top 10: romantic Venice hotels

REVIEW:
Palazzo Abadessa is a fair hike from many of Venice's better known tourist attractions but very handily placed - in the quiet northern Cannaregio district - for lots of lesser known gems. With its beautiful heirloom antiques and frescoed ceilings, Palazzo Abadessa is every inch the aristocratic family palace. The magnificent salone, with its works by followers of Tintoretto, enhances this feeling. But clients are treated very much as friends at a house party. And the lovely, lush garden is a wonderful place to relax after a tough day's sightseeing.
The 13 rooms and suites are all elegantly kitted out, with individual colour schemes, rich fabrics and lovely antiques. When booking, be aware that the mezzanine rooms feel much more cramped than the large, lofty upstairs ones. Some rooms have glorious frescoed or stuccoed ceilings. There's a pretty breakfast room where guests take this meal when the weather prevents them from having it outside at tables spread in the garden. There is no restaurant. At the front desk, Darwin and Matteo are a fount of knowledge on all things Venetian, and will direct you reliably to the best local eateries.
