Walking directions to Hotel Conterie (Murano), with map
Booking.com
 The
three-star
Hotel Conterie is operated by a family that has been making glass in Murano
since the 1500s. It has 26 rooms, a private garden, and a pleasant location on a
quiet street near the Basilica of Santi Maria e Donato and the Glass Museum.
From late April through early November, you can take the
Alilaguna Linea Rossa airport boat to Murano
Museo and walk a short distance to the hotel without
crossing any bridges. (Alilaguna's Linea Blu serves a more distant waterbus
platform, Murano Colonna,
year-round.)
How to reach Hotel Conterie from the Alilaguna stop at
Murano Museo:
-
As you leave the boat platform, turn right.
-
Follow the canalside pavement past the Museo del Vetro
(Glass Museum) and the Basilica.
-
Around the next bend, you'll see a grey stone bridge ahead
of you. Turn left about a block before the bridge, into a street paved in
flagstones. This will be the Calle de le Conterie.
-
Walk down the Calle de le Conterie toward the smokestacks of
a glass factory. The Hotel Conterie will be on your right, at No. 21.
From Alilaguna's Linea Blu boat stop at Colonna (Marco Polo Airport and the Marittima cruise terminals):
-
As you leave the Colonna boat stop, turn right and follow
the waterfront, which will curve left into a canal.
-
Head inland on the fondamenta or pavement next to
the
canal. (The street is named the Fondamenta dei Vertrai.)
-
Continue walking along the canal until you've passed the San
Pietro Martire Church and reached a junction with a wider canal.
-
Cross the large bridge over the wide canal.
-
As you leave the bridge, bear right and walk along the
waterfront for a minute or two.
-
When you reach the Murano Museo waterbus stop, follow the
directions above.
