The food was great (surprisingly).
The villa was very poorly lit (my wife wanted to spend as little time in it as possible because it felt like a cave).
Compared to the Azerai, it is a distant second. Azerais clean lines, perfect layout, and great service beat the SS hands down.

I'm glad to see people booking the Ca'Sagredo in Venice - we loved that place when we stayed in January two years ago.

I was at the Grand Hotel Majestic in Bologna last year. It is very old school luxury on a busy main street which is pedestrianised at the weekend. The decor is highly ornate and rooms are small and overly cluttered. We had a junior suite facing the massive church across the road and we spent much of the time clambering over the furniture. A very pleasing modern bathroom. Front desk service was excellent. Breakfast was disappointing as the room is far too small so it's best to go out and find breakfast at one of the many cafes. Food at dinner was good but the elaborate dining room was devoid of customers and a bit of a mausoleum.
Caī Sagredo looks regarding the hard product stunning. Will be interesting to compare it to the Aman. The price difference is huge.
