Sometimes ‘no frills’ is just what the doctor ordered. Casa Sant’Andrea could be defined as such, an certainly considered basic, but as far as affordable options in a notoriously expensive city go it's one of the best.

Wake up to the old monastery bell and explore Venice before the crowds fill the streets.
