PALAZZO DAPONTE BY LIONHOST, Venice

The property occupies a historic building in Venice's pedestrian-only core. The Rialto Bridge and St. Mark's Basilica are a short stroll away, with Doge's Palace and La Fenice Theatre also nearby. From the train station, it is a 20-minute walk or a direct waterbus (line 2) ride. Venice Marco Polo Airport is 18 km away, reachable by water taxi or bus. Numerous restaurants and shops line the surrounding streets, and the canals offer gondola and boat tours directly from the area. Note: there is no parking, and the location is best explored on foot or by vaporetto.

Accommodation consists of double rooms, each with a private entrance, air conditioning, heating, and a private bathroom with shower (and bidet in some). Room sizes vary: some are spacious with high ceilings and dual balconies offering canal views, while others are more compact and face an internal courtyard. Flooring is tiled or parquet, and seating areas are provided. There is no wardrobe or hanging space in some rooms, and no kettle, refrigerator, or kitchenette. Beds are generally large but firmness varies; bed comfort may differ between rooms. Rooms are accessed via a narrow staircase (no lift) to the second floor. Noise from the canal and early morning rubbish collection can be audible in canal-side rooms. Windows can be opened, but mosquitoes are present; using the air conditioning is recommended. The property is an older building and some rooms may show signs of wear, such as dusty surfaces or chipped furniture.

The property does not offer dining facilities. The common area provides a free coffee machine with espresso and soluble coffee for self-service. For other meals, a wide selection of restaurants is within a short walk, but the property itself provides no further dining services.

The property's location on a canal provides direct access to Venice's water transport network. Gondola rides, water taxis, and vaporetto lines are available from nearby stops, offering leisurely exploration of the city's waterways.

Security features include CCTV, smoke alarms, and fire extinguishers. There is no parking - the location is pedestrian-only. Pets and smoking are not permitted. Housekeeping is not included; extra charges apply for towel and linen changes. The property is accessible only by stairs (no lift) to the second floor.
