has anyone stayed at this Hotel in San Marco area in Venice? Any information to share on this hotel? I was curious if they arrange to send transportation for you upon arrival from the Train Station in Venice.

Shari: My mother is a travel agent and is very selective about the places she stays, and she loved the Kette. She said the rooms are very nice w/ good-sized baths and pretty common areas. I think it is off a side street near SM, so quiet, yet well-located. Cannot say about transportation from train station; think she arranged hers.

Good evening, Shari Have not stayed at the KETTE but have used the DO POZZI <BR>quite a few times, however from the outside the Kette looks very good and especially is is not located on a main <BR>calle such as the Marzo XXII.. Don't think they have hotel transportation to and from the Ferrovia, however you can <BR>take the vaporetto from the stop to the <BR>left of the station front steps to the <BR>stop of S. Marco, going up the calle Vallaresso, turn left at the first <BR>corner (by cambio) onto the Sal San Moise, over the small bridge and onto <BR>the Larga XXII Marzo turning right at the first street to the right , the calle d. cristo, and the Kette. About <BR>two blocks total.. You can also take a water taxi but at much more additional <BR>cost, but can't be sure where they would <BR>drop you off in relation to the hotel. <BR>Richard of LaGrange Park, Il.. <BR>fir

We stayed at the Kette three years ago and enjoyed it very much. We had a good size bedroom and bath. Our room was above a small canal and we could watch the boats deliver food and laundry to the hotel. We took a water taxi to the hotel for it docked at the hotel's landing. Be warned it was very expensive. The hotel's location is a short walk to San Marco Square and it is easy to get around Venice from this location.

Thanks for the great information. I think that will work out great for me.I think I will attempt to take the vaporetto now that I know what to expect.I am already gathering restaurant information and hope to have reservations in place before I arrive.
