Venice location recommendations
We'll be staying in Venice for 2 nights in May 2012. Is the area of Dorsoduro convenient to get around from?
|
Generally yes, but it depends.
What are your priorities? |
Just general walking around/touring venice. the more central areas of Venice seem to be extremely high priced
|
I really like Dorsoduro. It's quieter and less crowded than around the Piazza San Marco or the Rialto. But easily walkable: Venice isn't that big.
|
I agree with Mimar. Hotels in Dorsoduro also tend to be less expensive than those near St. Marks or the Rialto Bridge.
|
Look at Hotel Messner in Dorsoduro for good value but still close to the action.
|
unfortunately we'll be there a Friday and Saturday night so I'm having no luck in finding anything....

You can try these apartments and tell the owner, Ana, that Bianca sent you. http://www.palazzofoscarini.it/
Dorsoduro is great because it has a slower feel, more boutiques where locals shop, and great little restaurants where both the students and families go to since it's less expensive than Rialto/S.Marco area and just about a 15-20 minute walk to the main attractions. |
The low season rates for the apartments are about $100/nt and can go up to $180/nt.
|
Try Casa Rezzonico.
|
Try searching on venere.com.
Hey Bianca, that's my favorite apartment in Venice! I've stayed there many times and love the architecture and location. It's my "home" in Venice. |

I nice small hotel in Dorsoduro in a very convenient location. The rooms pictures on the website are accurate. Price is good and rooms 4 and 5 are extra large and have wonderful views - those rooms are well worth the small extra cost. Like most hotels in Venice, don't judge it by the outside. |
Has anyone used www.apartmentinvenice.it ?
|
Have you checked apartments and rental agencies at www.slowtrav.com?
|
Agree Palazzo Guardi is good, also we love Pensione Seguso for its fabulous convenient location and Merchant Ivory charm.
|
Just a heads up:
If you're going to Venice anytime between May 12th-20th, the America's Cup World Series of Sailing will be hosted in Venice and it may be difficult to find any hotels. |
