OK, so the weather was great, cold but not too cold, and brilliant sunshine, apart from the last day where we had some cloud and a couple of drops of rain. We wore our sunglasses a lot!
Best restaurant was Acqua Pazza (closed mondays) on Campo Sant'Angelo very near la Fenice: not venetian cuisine, more neapolitan. Fabulous pizzas (huge though, so just share one between two people, that's what they expect), great spaghetti alla vongole, free (yes free!) homemade limoncello (they give you two glasses and leave the bottle on your table...), delicious dessert (also to share): a plate of different fruits (apples, strawberries, apricots, lychees, small bananas, walnuts, etc...), cut in half and filled with their own sorbet, but be warned, it's addictive!! They also bring you lovely bruschetta to start with (just get a main course and dessert, the helpings are very generous). They were brilliant with dd, made her pasta to her liking, and another time made her a small pizza just for her. We went three evenings in a row and loved it every time, several waiters used to come and say hi and joke with dd (who practised her italian on them!), they were very friendly. Try and book though as it is popular with venetians. The cover charge is 5 euros per person, the main dishes vary between about 12 euros and 25 euros IIRC (it's all a blur because of the limoncello).
They have a nice terrasse on the Campo as well if you go at lunchtime. Definitely not a horrid tourist trap and they'll love you if you go more than once!
Robinpud: The hotel was perfect, easy to find (the street is on the corner of the Danieli...), opposite the San Zaccaria vaporetto stop, very clean, warm. Simple breakfast (cornflakes, rolls, croissants, yogurt, yummy coffee and hot chocolate, etc), nice staff. We were in 304.
Must do some work now but will come back later with the rest....
