Making reservations

We saved 30 euros by booking through Venere (Italy's leading discount-reservations site, which pays us a small commission on referrals):

• Check rates or book a room through Venere

• Read guest comments about the Hotel San Moisé

If Venere doesn't have the room you want, our hotel-booking friends at Travel Intelligence may be able to negotiate preferential rates for a minimum stay of three nights. To request a quote, use the e-form (and be sure to fill in the name of the hotel).

For more information on the Hotel San Moisé, or to check for occasional house specials that may be cheaper than Venere's discount rates, see the hotel's Web site at www.sanmoise.it.

Directions to the hotel

The Hotel San Moisé is on the Calle del Cristo in San Marco, about a five-minute walk from the Piazza San Marco. Here's how to reach it:

By water taxi: Just tell the boatman "Hotel San Moisé." The water taxi will drop you off at the hotel entrance.

By Alilaguna airport boat: Get off at the San Marco stop, which is by the former royal gardens. Walk left to the Calle Vallaresso, turn right, and go one long block to the Salizzada San Moisé. Turn left.

Follow the Salizzada San Moisé to the Campo San Moisé (where you'll see a big church) and across a bridge to the Calle Larga XVII Marzo (which is called the Viale 22 Marzo on some maps). Look for a small "Hotel San Moisé" sign like the one in the inset photo. When you see it, turn right into the Calle del Cristo, walk to the end, and go around the corner to the hotel entrance. (The entire walk is simpler--and shorter--than it sounds.)

From the San Marco Vallaresso vaporetto stop (Lines 1 and 2): Exit the boat platform and head straight down the Calle Vallaresso to the Salizzada San Moisé; then continue with these directions.

If you're coming from a cruise ship:

• From the main Stazione Marittima basin of the Venice Cruise Terminal, you normally can take the Alilaguna Blu Stazione Marittima-San Marco service on Saturday, Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday during the cruise season. See the Alilaguna Web site for a current schedule.

• From the cruise terminal's San Basilio pier (which is used by smaller ships and river vessels), walk across the wooden bridge to the San Basilio vaporetto stop, where you can catch a No. 2 boat in the direction of San Zaccaria. The San Zaccaria vaporetto stop is just above the Piazza San Marco. Walk into the Piazza, head for the narrow end with columns, and exit through the left archway (the one in the corner). Continue straight ahead until you're in the Salizzada San Moisé, then continue with these directions.

• Some cruise lines provide a free shuttle from the pier to the Alilaguna boat stop. (See "Alilaguna airport boat" directions above.)

Notes:

• If you're going to the airport, vaporetto, or cruise terminal from the Hotel San Moisé, just follow the above directions in reverse.

• The hotel's location page has a map that you can zoom in on for a closer view.
