As alternative accomodation we have an offer for an awesome 60 sqm appertement located directly at Campo San Maurizio for about 850 Euros for 4 nights (

Virtuoso is simple and you mustnīt be part of any programm. Book since years via Virtuoso and only see advantages. Do a search. Spending 4800 in a Starwood-hotel without getting member of SPG is wasting Money in my eyes.
