ANTICA LOCANDA STURION RESIDENZA D'EPOCA, Venice

Located on a quiet street just off the Grand Canal, the property is steps from the Rialto Mercato waterbus stop - a 2-minute walk - providing direct links to Piazzale Roma, Marco Polo Airport (via Alilaguna orange line), and other Venice districts. The historic centre is compact enough to explore almost everything on foot: Saint Mark's Square, the Doge's Palace, and numerous restaurants and shops are within a 10-minute walk. Water taxis can drop you near the bridge, but the final approach is through narrow alleys. The location scores 9.7 for convenience and walkability.

Junior Suites with Grand Canal views are the only rooms overlooking the water and the Rialto Bridge. These suites also contain a matrimonial bed plus a single bed, making them suitable for couples or a small family. Standard double rooms (Charme) face the street or rooftops and are notably quieter. Some rooms have limited natural light. All rooms have private bathrooms with a bath or shower, bidet, terrazzo or parquet flooring, and free safety deposit boxes. An iron and ironing board are available on request. No rooms have a balcony, and rooms are not interconnected. The hotel has a multilingual library where guests can read about Venice.

Breakfast costs 15 EUR per person and includes both an Italian option (croissant, bread, cakes, cappuccino, jam, Nutella, milk, cereals) and a continental option (salami, ham, cheese, eggs). Cooked-to-order omelettes are also available. The breakfast room overlooks the Grand Canal and Rialto Bridge, offering a memorable start to the day. The selection is considered sufficient and tasty, though not extensive. Wine or champagne may be purchased for an additional charge. There is no restaurant or bar on the property, but the Rialto area is packed with dining options within a short walk.

There is no on-site wellness centre, swimming pool, gym, or sauna. The hotel's primary leisure benefit is its central position, from which all major Venetian sights, the Grand Canal, and the surrounding areas are easily accessible on foot or by waterbus.

The hotel provides free Wi-Fi in all areas, a 24-hour front desk with concierge service, and free daily housekeeping. Luggage storage is offered at no extra charge, allowing guests to explore before check-in or after check-out. Safety features include 24-hour security, fire extinguishers, smoke alarms, and a free safety deposit box. The front desk can arrange local transport information and has assisted with strike updates and lost luggage. No parking is available on the premises; the nearest public parking is at Piazzale Roma or Tronchetto Island. Accepted payment methods include American Express, Visa, CartaSi, and MasterCard, and cash payments are accepted. No airport shuttle service is provided.
