La Boutique del Gelato (which many Venetians believe is the best
gelateria in Venice, and you

hotel, like its gelato-purveying neighbor, has an excellent reputation:
The Sartore family has owned the Hotel Da Bruno for three generations,
and the traditionally-furnished rooms includes triples and quads (which

it's available throughout the hotel. The only downside is the lack of an
elevator, which may discourage guests with weak knees or limited
mobility. Compare rates:
