Antica Locanda Montin

$, Dorsoduro

User Rating: **** 4.4

Fodor's Review:

Only a streetlamp hanging above the entrance marks this waterway inn, which, in spite of its low-key looks, won the hearts of John Ruskin, Peggy Guggenheim, and Italian poet Gabriele d'Annunzio. Rooms have worn decor, inexpensive furniture, and good contemporary paintings left by the many artists who have stayed here in years past. Though a romantic view of the canal or the pretty internal garden and a durable reputation as a den for artists and literati keep the Locanda full all year long, the bargain rates are its primary appeal.

Great Location and Great Garden Restaurant

Posted by Dennis from From Chicago, living in Frankfurt, Germany. on 3/27/06

Anyone wanting to be close to the action but situated on a picturesque and quiet Rio should stay here. Nice people, decent breakfast and a good shower make it nice for guests. The back garden is one of few in Venice with linen-covered tables and good food. Eating can be expensive, with antipasto, wine and main courses about 40 euros each, but in Venice that is the norm. Definitely worth a stay, and Ryan Air flew us here from Frankfurt for only 60 euros per person round-trip. We plan to come back!
