Venice Cruise Terminal HotelsPage 3
ABOVE: The Hotel San Sebastiano Garden is a short walk from the San Basilio pier. Hotels near San BasilioThe San Basilio quay and terminal building are at the foot of the Fondamente delle Zattere, a pedestrian promenade that extends all the way from the S. Basilio vaporetto stop to the tip of Dorsoduro where the Grand Canal and Giudecca Canal meet at St. Mark's Basin. (See a photo in our Dogana di Mare article.) Consider yourself lucky if your ship is moored here, because the historic center is just across a small wooden footbridge from San Basilio. For proximity to the San Basilio terminal, there's no better choice than the Hotel San Sebastiano Garden (4 stars). The 16-room hotel is on the Fondamenta San Sebastiano, across a canal from the Church of San Sebastiano and only about five minutes from the pier. It has a private garden where you can enjoy breakfast or drinks outdoors in good weather, and accommodations range from double rooms to junior suites. Here's how to reach the hotel:
Two other hotels are fairly close to the San Basilio terminal:
If you have rolling suitcases, it may be easier to walk along the Zattere to a hotel in the eastern part of Dorsoduro. The distance may be a little greater than heading inland, but you'll encounter fewer bridges and are less likely to get lost. These hotels are also convenient to the Zattere stop of the Alilaguna airport boat's Blue Line: Ca' San Trovaso (2-star equivalent) is just inland from the Zattere. Singles, doubles, and triples are available, and rates are a bargain by Venice standards even during high season. Hotel La Calcina (3 stars) is the inn where John Ruskin stayed in 1876. Ruskin picked it for the same reason that today's tourists do: A site directly on the Zattere, overlooking the Giudecca Canal and the ships that pass by. If you're spending more than a few days in Venice, consider booking a self-catering suite or mini-flat at the hotel's La Calcina Suites nearby. Pensione Seguso (2 stars) is also on the Zattere, where it offers traditionally-furnished single and double rooms (most with bathrooms in the hall). Other hotel tips for San Basilio:
