Venice's
Ca' Doge
is a B&B or inn at the southwestern corner of the Piazzale Roma,
across from the People Mover station (which offers cheap, quick transportation
to the Marittima cruise port and the Tronchetto parking island). Ca' Doge is
accessible by car, and--almost unheard of in Venice--it has its own small
parking lot.
The location isn't beautiful
or atmospheric
(we'd rather be away from cars), but it's handy if you're traveling with a
vehicle or you want
quick access to the
Marittima cruise terminals and the city's official
baggage storage office.
How to reach Ca' Doge from Piazzale Roma:
As you leave the airport bus or taxi, walk toward the large
parking garage and the People Mover station behind the airport buses.
Cross to the People Mover station via the red crosswalk.
At the corner, cross the street again toward the Ca' Doge
B&B and its "Autopark" parking entrance. (Go down the steps or
use the short driveway if you have heavy luggage.)
