when:
 You're
looking for a smoke-free hotel on the Grand Canal, in the heart of
Venice.
The Hotel Locanda Ovidius occupies two floors of a restored historic
building at the corner of Calle de Sturion and the Riva del Vin,
alongside the Grand Canal just to your left after you've crossed the
Rialto Bridge from the Rialto vaporetto or airport-boat stop.
The decor is 18th Century, but the hotel has the usual modern
conveniences--including an elevator. Other amenities include a lounge on
each floor, a canalside breakfast room, and two balconies where guests
can watch the passing boat traffic from above.
