Hotel Fontana Venice

Family-run Hotel Fontana is a restored 18th-century Venetian house which enjoys a central location in Venice, just behind San Zaccaria square and a few blocks from Saint Mark's square. In a quiet area just off the waterfront, this hotel is perfect for getting to know this unique city. Waterbuses stop just outside the hotel and much of the city is just walking distance away, including Rialto and its busy markets, which are a 10 minute stroll away. Saint Mark's square, with its spectacular cathedral is even closer, just 5 minutes away, as is the Bridge of Sighs. Comfortable rooms overlook the characteristic squares below and some have a private terrace with views of gothic San Zaccaria church, which is just next door. Well-run, with friendly staff and an emphasis on service and hospitality, this hotel is a great solution for an unforgettable stay in Venice. Campo San Provolo is just a 5-minute walk from St. Mark's Square and even less from the main waterbus stop (San Zaccaria). Immediately, as you leave the hotel, you have San Zaccaria's church with its fabulous paintings by Bellini and Tintoretto. St. Mark's square with the Basilica, the Campanile (bell tower), the Doge's Palace and the Bridge of Sighs are only a few steps away from the hotel. In just 10 minutes you find yourself at the Rialto, with its crowded markets, placing you really in the middle of Venetian life.
