Area description
This hotel is located in the heart of Venice, just a stroll from St. Mark's Square and Rialto Bridge, but has a calm, secluded position despite the large number of tourists. With just a few minutes walk the guests can reach the main landings to avail of frequent public transport which takes all over the city, as well as to the other islands of the lagoon (Torcello, Burano, Murano, Chioggia, Lido, etc.).Campo Santa Maria Formosa, the location of this hotel in Venice, is one of the liveliest and characteristic areas of the city. The Renaissance style Santa Maria Formosa church, with its baroque bell tower, gets its name from the appearance of The Blessed Virgin in the form of a "formosa" or shapely, beautiful woman.The same area hosts the prestigious Querini Stampalia Foundation, with its rich and much-used public library and a considerable gallery of three-hundred paintings by artists from Veneto, including G. Bella, Palma il Giovane, Palma il Vecchio, G. Bellini, P. Longhi.

Good deal, especially in off season

Once we found the hotel and got used to the idea of shared bathroom, and some of the noise from the kitchen in the morning, we appreciated the people, the location,and the price paid.

Money-saving tip: Short walk from hotel

Get a good map to find the hotel upon arriving with the vaporette - the hotel map is not the best.
