Hotels near the Piazza San MarcoPage 4
East - Hotels in the direction of CastelloThe hotels on this page are toward the east and northeast of the Piazza San Marco. They're less convenient to the airport boat than the hotels mentioned earlier, but they aren't difficult to reach unless you're burdened with heavy luggage. They're also handy for sightseeing, since you can easily get to the vaporetto stops at S. Zaccaria (just east of the Piazza) and the Rialto Bridge. (Caution: Streets in this area be confusing, so buy a good map before you head for the hotel.) The Casa Verardo and Best Western Montecarlo (3 stars each) are very close to the Piazza San Marco. Both have excellent user ratings from Venere. Other hotels along the San Marco-Castello border include Colombina (4 stars), Bridge (3 stars), Castello (3 stars), and Locanda La Corte (3 stars). Just to the east are Commercio e Pellegrino (3 stars), La Locandiera (a reasonably-priced "Town House Suites 1st category" property that Venere, our booking partner, ranks as a 3-star hotel).
Slightly farther to the northeast, the Casa Santa Maria Formosa is a tiny eight-room inn next to the campo, or square, of Santa Maria Formosa. The square is one of the most delightful in Venice, with considerable neighborhood activity and many shops, cafés, and restaurants nearby. Also on the campo are: Scandinavia (3 stars), which offers two- to four-person rooms in a traditionally furnished palazzo that was begun in 1000 A.D. Eight of the hotel's 34 rooms overlook the square.
