Hotel Metropole Our first stop in Venice was at Metropole Hotel. The first thing you will love about this hotel is that’s located right on the grand lagoon so our water taxi could pull right up to its private canal entrance.

Ciao bella! I was just going over last week’s schedule and realized I visited eight countries in nine days! Is that amazing, or what?!
