HOTEL GABRIELLI
Venice, Italy
Hotel | from 500€ per night
The perfect middle ground if you want the luxury hotel experience without going to the most extreme end of the budget.
The rooms were extremely comfortable, the breakfast is incredible and the service genuine.
But the real reason to book it is the rooftop terrace, one of the best in Venice. Go up at dusk and you'll understand immediately.
Insider tip: the terrace is technically for hotel guests only, but the bar staff at ground level can sometimes arrange access for a drink. Always worth asking nicely.
