Hotels in the Dorsoduro district of Venice, Italy

Locanda Gaffaro, Venice

This Venice (Venezia) hotel is situated in the Dorsoduro district, one of the six traditional areas (or sestieri) into which the city is divided. It is very close to the Santa Lucia railway station, making it easily accessible for visitors, and is also close to the bus and car terminals. The hotel is within a short walking distance of the famous Rialto Bridge, one of the best known of all the 400 bridges in the city, and is in an area of great interest to art lovers, with the Accademia and the Scuola Grande Di San Rocco both nearby.

The Locanda Gaffaro, Venice has recently been renovated, but has retained all of its 19th century Venetian charm. Built in a small square, the Corte Del Gallo, the hotel is in an historic and quiet area of the city but boasts all of the conveniences a guest would expect. The business is family run, and the friendly staff are only too happy to advise you from the 24-hour front desk, and to help you arrange tickets and taxis for events in the city. Breakfast is served each morning. In the summer, guests can dine in the courtyard garden next to the children's play area.

Each of the ten rooms at this three-star hotel are decorated in a traditional Venetian style, with views of the small square at the front of the hotel, complete with fountain and magnolia trees, and the rooftops of Venice to the rear. Each of the rooms enjoys full en-suite facilities with bath, shower and toilets plus a hairdryer. The building is fully air conditioned and guests can control the temperature of their individual room. Each room has a minibar. This hotel in Venice is a great option for those who want a relaxing base in this most romantic of cities, while also enjoying easy access to the major sights of the town.
