The
Domus Cavanis is an annex of the three-star Hotel Belle Arti, which
is just across the street. It has 35 single to family-size rooms, all with
private WC, sink, and shower.
Directions are the same as for the Belle Arti, since
you'll need to check in at the Belle Arti when you arrive.
How to reach the Domus Cavanis from Alilaguna's
Zattere airport-boat stop:
As you leave the Alilaguna
Linea Blu airport boat's floating pier at Zattere,
head for the Rio Terà Antonio Foscarini, which is a wide tree-lined
street that heads inland from the Zattere waterfront.
In a minute or two, you'll see the Hotel Belle Arti on your
left. Go into the hotel and check in. After registering, you'll be sent to
the Domus Cavanis, which is on the other side of the street.

From the San Basilio cruise terminal:
Exit the cruise terminal via the main doors and walk
straight ahead to the wooden bridge.
Cross the bridge and continue walking along the Zattere,
which is the wide pedestrian promenade next to the Giudecca Canal.
After five minutes or so, you'll reach a stone bridge, the
Ponte Lungo. Cross the bridge and keep walking past two churches.
Turn left just after the second church (the Gesuati). Walk
inland on the Rio Terà Antonio Foscarini, which is a wide tree-lined street
that heads inland from the Zattere waterfront.
In a minute or two, you'll see the Hotel Belle Arti on your
left. Go into the hotel and check in. (After registering, you'll be sent to
the Domus Cavanis on the other side of the street.)
From the Marittima cruise terminals:
Take the Alilaguna Blue Line airport boat to the Zattere
stop, which is the second stop from the cruise basin. (The fare will be
about half of the fare to the airport.)
Follow the directions from the Zattere airport-boat stop
above.
