RIVA DEL VIN BOUTIQUE HOTEL, Venice

The hotel sits directly on the Grand Canal near the Rialto Bridge, placing major sights, restaurants, and vaporetto stops within a short walk. The nearest public boat stop is Rialto Mercato (Line 1), about 20-25 minutes from Santa Lucia train station and offering direct airport connections. A private water taxi can drop guests at the hotel pier with no bridges to cross. The immediate area is lively with restaurants and bars, especially in the evening. A COOP supermarket is located across the Rialto Bridge for essentials.

Room categories include Double, Superior, Deluxe, and Grand Deluxe. The Small Double is 11 m². Deluxe and Grand Deluxe rooms face the Grand Canal, while other rooms overlook the street or canal side. Grand Canal rooms have windows, not balconies; two common areas on the upper floors offer balcony access with canal views. Soundproofing reduces but does not eliminate noise from the busy restaurant-lined canal. Street-view rooms are quieter. All rooms include a desk, safe, free toiletries, bathrobes, and soundproof walls. A kettle is available on request. Rooms are on the second and third floors, served by a lift.

Breakfast includes bread, pastries, cold meats, cheese, boiled eggs, yogurt, cereal, fruit, and hot drinks. Eggs are provided, and the buffet is continental style. Breakfast is served in three time slots between 07:15 and 10:15. The hotel's breakfast room has a small balcony with a canal view. An on-site bar is available for drinks, and breakfast can also be served in the room on request.
