Hotels in DorsoduroThe district of Dorsoduro is the southernmost sestiere of Venice. In the photo above, it starts at the cruise port on the west and runs north almost to the Piazzale Roma (just below the words "Santa Croce"). It continues past the Ponte dell'Accademia to the Punta della Dogana, the pointed tip of the land mass that separates the sharply curved Grand Canal from the larger Giudecca canal just west of the Piazza San Marco. Techically, Dorsoduro includes the island of La Giudecca (near the bottom of the photo), although most Venetians treat Giudecca as a separate entity. When selecting a hotel in Dorsoduro, you'll normally want to focus on three areas, depending on your travel requirements:
La Giudecca may be worth considering if you want to be away from high-season tourist crowds and don't mind taking a hotel boat or water bus to the city center.
