Hotel La Corte — Hotel in Correzzola

Even before arrival, Lucia, from the Hotel La Corte, was so helpful and provided information regarding our reservation in this restored wing, part of the medieval benedictine monastery called La Corte. The place is amazing, and in every corner and nook, there is history and a thrilling past. On arrival Lucia was helpful in giving the right tips of what to do and where to eat, and we ended up going for a stroll behind the monastery, watching a most amazing sunset by the canal... The actual rooms are very simple, and yet have all the comfort you need to get a great night's rest. The bathroom (in our case ensuite) was very spacious, and clean, as was the room. Simple, humble, in tune with the monastery's past, but cozy and welcoming. And breakfast was great too!

Very large room that slept 5. Good bathroom. Excellent local red wine (Raboso) to sip at sunset in the outdoor garden. Nearby bancomat, pharmacy, pub and restaurant within easy walking distance of less than 10 minutes. A great place to stay if visiting Venice. ||CON. It was very hot (35C) and the free-standing AC was insufficient to keep the room cool at night, so it was difficult...

Don’t be put off be the one-star hotel rating, which I think will be because some of the bedrooms have shared bathrooms possibly due to the historic use as a Benedictine monastery. As advertised on the hotel website, some of the rooms have private bathrooms. Clean and spacious rooms with lots of character - think high oak-beam ceilings, nice breakfast, welcoming staff, huge garden, reasonable price. The surroundings are peaceful with the hotel being situated by a village that has a couple of bars and restaurants, and a small bakery and supermarket. We had a nice long...
