I Love Touring Venice, Italy – Hotels In The San Marco District

The San Marco district is situated in central Venice. Who hasn’t heard of Piazza San Marco, “The drawing room of Europe”? It’s the only square in Venice to merit the name Piazza, all the others are called Campi. In the words of Wikipedia “As the central landmark and gathering place for Venice, Piazza San Marco is quite popular with tourists, photographers, and pigeons.” Given Venice’s relatively small size, you can enjoy San Marco without staying there. You may wish to take advantage of this great location and stay in the neighborhood. For your convenience we have listed district hotels in approximate order of cost, starting with the least expensive. We have personally verified all hotel websites to make sure that they include English-language pages.

There are only three rooms in the Al Teatro bed and breakfast so you better reserve early in anything but the off-off season. The largest room has a balcony and can hold four beds. The Teatro stands for Teatro La Fenice (the Phoenix) the Venice Opera House that has twice risen from the ashes. One of the owners was born right in this house so you know this is a family operation. The bed and breakfast address is Fondamenta della Fenice, San Marco 2554.

The Ca’ dei Dogi offers six rooms and an attic apartment ensconced in a Fifteenth Century Palace a hop, skip, and a jump away from the Piazza. You get an excellent view of the Doge’s Palace and breakfast in the courtyard. There’s a restaurant on-site where you can enjoy traditional Venetian specialties. Some of the rooms have private terraces and wall tapestries and mosaic tiles abound. The hotel address is Corte Santa Scolastica, Castello 4242.

The Locanda Orseolo Hotel is almost right around the corner from the Piazza. This family-owned hotel faces the Orseolo Canal. There’s a quiet courtyard and each room is dedicated to a Carnevale theme. There are 12 rooms. The hotel address is Corte Zorzi off Campo San Gallo, San Marco 1083.

The Novecento family-run hotel is only a short walk from the Piazza. Their rooms are decorated in a variety of styles. While there is no on-site fitness center, guests are welcome to use the nearby Hotel Flora’s fitness center that even offers a personal trainer. Weather permitting, breakfast is served in the courtyard. As an extra attraction the hotel also organizes art exhibitions, giving the guests an opportunity to meet local and national artists. The hotel address is Calle del Dose, Campo San Maurizio, San Marco 2683/84.

The Bauer Il Palazzo is quite luxurious. You’ll eat breakfast on Venice’s highest rooftop terrace, Il Settimo Cielo (Do you need a translation?) The terrace also boasts an outdoor hot tub and none of the 44 rooms and 38 suites are decorated the same. There’s an exercise room complete with personal trainers, a bar, and a gourmet restaurant where you can dine indoors or on the terrace. The hotel address is Campo San Moise, San Marco 1413/d.

Womens Rainbow Sandals Womens Hemp Double Stack Narrow Strap $39.95 Every beachgoer has seen broken, discarded sandals littering the sand.

After a lot of research and testing, the Rainbow Sandals that so many people know and love today were developed. Hand made and held together with strong glue, Rainbow Sandals will stay in one piece and will keep your feet comfortable with sponge rubber that molds to your individual foot shape. Rainbow Sandals keep the beaches clean and our feet comfortable, and they have grown to become a world-known brand that provides us with a variety of sandal choices, as well as shoes and boots. With an unbeatable Rainbow Guarantee, your Rainbow Sandals and Footwear will carry your feet for miles. SIZING NOTE: Sizes small through extra large in the womens Rainbow Sandals run true to size, however, the sizes ten and eleven run larger and wider than average because they are made from a mens footbed. Also, womens Rainbow Sandals sizes small through extra large have a narrow footbed so women with a wider foot may choose to order the mens Rainbow Sandal sizes because the mens sandals are wider in width.
