Expert review of Locanda La Corte
This inn, with Gothic courtyard, trad Venetian décor and quiet location, is a restful option.
A real dedication to helping guests get the most out of Venice makes the 16-room La Corte a true locanda (inn) in both name and spirit. I found that the list of "dos & don'ts" sitting on tables in the courtyard was an unfortunate boarding house note in an overall ambience which was rather more sophisticated.
Location:
The setting, for me, is perfect: in a 16th-century palazzo not far from the church of Santi Giovanni e Paolo, this hotel isn’t easy to find – and there are a few bridges to haul luggage over if you’re arriving by vaporetto rather than pulling up to the private water entrance in a water taxi – but once there, you’ll appreciate being quite so close both to St Mark’s and the Rialto area, but in a quiet corner of town.
Bedrooms:
Room décor is standard Venetian ‘settecento’ style, with terrazzo floors and flock wallpaper. Unless space is an issue, the classic or moderate doubles are just fine; I find that larger suites can feel a little bare. Some rooms can be rather dark: for more light, opt for a courtyard-facing room.
