Walking directions to Hotel Bonvecchiati (with map)

From: Venice Hotel Directions

The Hotel Bonvecchiati is a beautifully situated four-star hotel just north of the Piazza San Marco, overlooking a canal and gondola basin. It has 124 double and twin rooms (all pet-friendly and with free Wi-Fi).

Amenities include a bar, a waterside terrace restaurant, and a fitness center with hot tub, Turkish bath, and sauna.

How to reach the Hotel Bonvecchiati from the Alilaguna airport-boat pier at San Marco Giardinetti:

1. As you leave the boat station, turn left and cross a small stone bridge.

2. Continue a few meters to the Calle Vallaresso and turn right.

3. At the first cross street, turn right and walk through a covered passage into the Piazza San Marco.

4. Walk through the square (or under the arcades, if the crowds aren't excessive) to the north side of the square as shown on the map.

5. Go through the Sotoportego de l'Arco Celestia (a covered passage right before the Modolo shop and a yellow sign that reads "Per Rialto").

6. When you reach the canal just beyond the end of the passage, bear left. You'll see the Hard Rock Café ahead of you, facing the gondola basin.

7. Turn right at the Hard Rock Café and walk a block or so until you have to cross a footbridge.

8. The entrance to the Hotel Bonvecchiati will be straight ahead of you after you cross the bridge.
