Transportation Options
The hotel is 150 meters from the San Marco-Zaccaria water bus stop. From Santa Lucia Train Station or Piazzale Roma, take Vaporetto 2 (June 1 to September 15) or Vaporetto 1 (September 16 to May 31) to San Zaccaria. From Tronchetto, take Vaporetto 2 to San Zaccaria. From Marco Polo Airport, use the ALILAGUNA water shuttle to Arsenale or San Zaccaria.
“Location is a clear advantage, putting you within a short walk of the Riva degli Schiavoni and, from there, much of Venice. I appreciate that the family managing it has done so since 1969, which likely accounts for the consistent service mentioned. While some may find the décor a bit dated, its proximity to St. Mark's Square and the personalized concierge do stand out.”
