My stay at Bauer Il Palazzo was overall a good experience. The luxurious room with a magnificent view of the Grand Canal was a highlight, and the attentive service from the staff made me feel truly welcomed. However, I did find that some aspects of the hotel could benefit from a bit of modernization. particularly the room's old charging outlet placement, which was a bit inconvenient.
