Scandinavia

Hotel Highlights

• Hold onto your hat because this hotel takes history to a whole new level - initially constructed in the late 1300s (!) this is one of the oldest houses in Venice.

• A scrummy brekkie will set you up right for a day of sightseeing and gondola-riding.

• Rooms are decked out in a nod to the height of Venice's glorious past as a cultural must-visit for luxury goods in the 18th century, after the whole empire thing went a bit pear shaped.

Location

• Whether Rialto or Piazza San Marco take first place on your bucket list, this hotel is perfect. You're a 7 minute walk to the gorgeous Rialto Bridge and the neighbourhood of Rialto just beyond is essential visiting for the perfect Venice experience.

• The bustling square of Saint Mark is a 7 minute walk to the south, where you can see the Basilica di San Marco, the Doge's Palace (woof woof) and the Torre dell'Orologio for all you clock fans out there.

• Art buffs, you're not going to want to miss out on the Basilica Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari, the 21 minute walk from the hotel is worth it. Your scavenger hunt list contains the following: 2 Titian paintings, a Giovanni Bellini painting, Donatello's only work in Venice and finally Titian's tomb. Happy hunting!

• You're a 7 minute walk to the beautiful vistas of the San Marco basin into the Venetian Lagoon, but more importantly to the San Zaccaria waterbus stop where you can hop on a vaporetto and be at the island of San Giorgio Maggiore in less than 5 minutes! Here make sure you check out the bell tower, the abbey, the chapel and the Borges Labyrinth.

• From Venice Marco Polo Airport it's a 15 minute drive to the car terminal Piazzale Roma. From there hop on the Vaporetto Line 2 and hop back off at the Rialto stop and you're an 8 minute walk to the hotel. Easy peasy!
