Venice
Hotel in/near San Marco
(St. Mark’s Square)

Considered to be the most crowded and expensive part of Venice. It is the cultural and commercial center of Venice, and Piazza San Marco with the Basilica San Marco is its heart. Nothing but tourists in heavy foot traffic area and lots of noise.

SERENISSIMA - Calle Carlo Goldoni 4486.
Tel: 041-5200011. Fax: 041-5223292.
Web site: http://www.hotelserenissima.it/ E-mail: info@hotelserenissima.it (37 rms., all w/toilet & bath or shower.) 100€ single; 175€ double; 225€ triple; 250€ quad. Breakfast (7-10am) is included in the rates. Air-conditioned. Visa, MC, AX. This is our favorite hotel in Venice because of the staff, the ambience, the rooms and especially because the location (5-min. walk from St. Mark's square). English spoken, phones, cable TV w/CNN, fabulous wonderful charming hotel w/beautifully & identically contemporary Venetian-style furnished modern nice-size rms. w/newly renovated bathrooms, rooms are equipped w/Internet connection, original wooden flrs., hairdriers, bar, fabulous quiet location about a 5-min. walk to St. Mark's square and the Rialto bridge, no elevator, 4 flrs. Owned/managed by wonderful, charming & attentive Roberto DalBorgo. Salvatore is also quite charming. The hotel is regularly visited by famous artists. The young blond woman in the fabulous paintings on the wall is Roberto's mother. You may recognize her as the hard-working elderly woman who serves you your breakfast. If you are an artist, ask to see Roberto's treasured book of artwork sketched by various artists from all over the world. Roberto is in the middle of renovating a small hotel next door to Hotel Serenissima. It should be completed by 2006. Vaporetto: Rialto.
