Rio Tera dei Pensieri, Venice

The Rio Terà dei Pensieri is just a short walk from airport buses, taxis, and the People Mover to Venice's Marittima cruise terminals, but it feels like another world entirely: The street is lined with trees, flower planters, a couple of cafés, and a handful of visitor accommodations--among them, Il Veliero Romantico, a tiny guesthouse with three attractively-furnished twin rooms and (for hostelers) a three-bed dormitory.

As a bonus, the twin rooms have electric kettles for making tea or coffee--a feature that English-speaking travelers love, but that can be hard to find in Venice.

How to reach Il Veliero Romantico from the Piazzale Roma:

Il Veliero Romantico map directions

Walk toward the tree-lined side of the Piazzale Roma. Continue through the trees to the water.
Turn right onto the fondamenta or sidewalk along the canal.
A few meters ahead, you'll see a food kiosk just before the Tre Ponti (three bridges). Bearing left to stay by the main canal, walk past the food kiosk to the bridge.
Cross the bridge and walk straight ahead, past the Hotel Arlecchino (another hotel that we recommend) and the restaurants along the canal.
Turn right into the next street, the Rio Terà dei Pensieri.
Walk past the Alloggi Marinella to a yellow building with a grillwork door. Ring Il Veliero Romantico's doorbell for admittance.
