Walking directions to Ca' Princess (with map)

From: Venice Hotel Directions

The "Princess House," or Ca' Princess, is a five-room B&B near the Grand Canal and the Rialto Bridge. The Piazza San Marco is only 10 to 15 minutes away on foot, and the surrounding area is packed with shops, cafés, and restaurants.

All rooms have free Wi-Fi and private bathrooms with hairdryers.

How to reach Ca' Princess from the Alilaguna Linea Arancio airport-boat pier at Rialto:

1. As you leave the boat pier (Pontoon "A" at Rialto), walk straight ahead into Calle Bembo, which faces the vaporetto ticket booth.

2. At the first cross street, Calle del Teatro, turn right.

3. Walk past the Goldoni Theatre to the Guess store at the corner.

4. Turn left into the Calle del Forno and continue into the Campo San Luca.

5. As you enter the square, turn right immediately and walk past the shop on the corner. Ca' Princess is marked by a brass plaque alongside the building's main entrance. A metal box with a pushbutton for Ca' Princess is on one of the iron doors. Ring the doorbell, and a staff member will let you in.
