RESIDENZA RIVO ALTO, Venice

The Rialto Vaporetto Water-bus Station is 300 metres away, providing access to ACTV and ALILAGUNA ORANGE LINE services-a direct route to Marco Polo Airport. Santa Lucia train station is about 15-18 minutes away by water-bus or a 30-minute walk. All major attractions, including Saint Mark's Square and the Doge's Palace, are within a 10-minute walk. The surrounding area is filled with restaurants, cafés, and shops, including the famous Suso gelato. Despite the central location, rooms overlooking the canal can be quiet at night, while street-facing rooms may experience some noise from the lively area.

Rooms in this 14th-century building feature classic furnishings, a flat-screen satellite TV, writing desk, wardrobe, electric kettle, and fridge. All rooms have a private bathroom with shower, hairdryer, and complimentary toiletries. Superior double rooms and some quadruple rooms offer canal views-be sure to select the correct room type when booking, as standard double rooms do not have this view. Four-poster beds and glass chandeliers are found in select rooms. Selected rooms have air conditioning, but some units can be less effective; opening windows may let in mosquitoes. Rooms are generally described as clean and comfortable, though some may show signs of age such as worn finishes. Daily housekeeping is provided.

However, numerous bars, cafés, and restaurants are within 300 metres, including Da Mamo, Sepa, Rosticceria Gislon, Ristorante Alle Corone, and Osteria Al Portego.

The area is renowned for its dining variety, from casual pizza to traditional Venetian cuisine. Staff can provide local recommendations upon request.

There is no spa, pool, gym, or wellness centre at Residenza Rivo Alto.
