Walking directions to Hotel Bel Sito & Berlino (with map)

From: Venice Hotel Directions

The Hotel Bel Sito & Berlino (or, more simply, the Hotel Bel Sito) shares a pleasant campo with several other hotels, including the four-star Palazzo del Giglio and one of Venice's top luxury hotels, the historic Gritti Palace. It's easy to reach on foot from two Alilaguna airport-boat stops.

The 34-room hotel is decorated in traditional Venetian style and has free Wi-Fi in the lobby. Pets are welcome, with no extra fees.

How to reach the Hotel Bel Sito & Berlino from the Santa Maria del Giglio airport-boat pier (Alilaguna Linea Arancio):

1. Leave the Alilaguna boat and walk straight ahead, down the Calle Gritti, until the street widens into a small square.

2. Turn left into the street that faces you. The Hotel Bel Sito & Berlino's entrance will be across the street, opposite the church.
