Pros:

Ottimo hotel nell’isola di s. Elena , affascinante posto lontano dalla folla dei turisti. a pochi minuti di distanza dal vaporetto con cui si possono raggiungere tutte le località e ottima posizione per visitare la Biennale. Ottima la colazione e la disponibilità dello staff.

Pros:

Colazione veramente ben fatta con molta scelta peccato per la disponibilità dei tavoli che si saturano presto e costringono a più turni. Posizione ottima

Pros:

Me encantó este hotel, fue mi primera vez en un Indigo.

Las instalaciones están geniales, todo muy limpio y con diseño. Tienen un buen restuarante y bar al interior. Los desayunos muy buenos, y con varias opciones.

El personal fue muy colaborador y atento, y nos ayudaron en todo lo que necesitamos.

La zona es muy tranquila y segura, perfecta para quienes quieren estar fuera de la zona turística. No lo recomiendo para personas que quieran estar cerca a lo turístico o a pocos pasos de San Marco. Es un poco retirado a pie, pero tan solo a 10 minutos en vaporeto.

Es el mejor hotel en el que se pueden quedar si van a la bienal de arte, pues queda justo al lado.

Me encantó de esta zona que tiene muchas zonas verdes y restaurantes y bares mucho más tranquilos, donde ser puede ver gente local y no turistas.

Extra puntos por darnos lonchera para el desayuno en nuestra última noche, pues nos fuimos de madrugada.

Cons:

Está un poco lejos de las zonas "turísticas" si eres una persona que no le gusta caminar.

יופי של מלון !!!
Pros:

מקום אירוח מדהים חדר ענק מיטה ענקית ונוחה
ארוחת בקר ניפלאה
הבעיה היחידה שקצת רחוק מהמרכז אבל ניפלא לגארדיני ולארסנלה בביאנלה
צוות העובדים מגיע לו קרדיט מיוחד על נדיבות ונכונות לסייע בכל דבר

Hidden oasis of calm
Pros:

I chose the Indigo as it was close to the Lido (for the film festival) and the Art Biennale which was just walking distance. It was perfect. Nice to feel part of normal life…

Pros:

beautiful quiet location away from the craziness. But close enough to walk over to Saint Marco in 20 minutes. Or take water taxi. We bought the 3 day pass on the water taxi which made it super easy to go back and forth. Staff was lovely, beautiful hotel
