Just 70 m from Piazza San Marco and 100 m from Harry’s Bar, Hotel Casanova is set in an 18th-century building in the centre of Venice. It offers free WiFi throughout.

St. Mark’s Basilica and the Doge’s palace are 300 m from the hotel. The Vallaresso vaporetto water-bus stop is 200 m away, and the Accademia is a 10-minute walk from the Casanova.

Rooms come with air conditioning and an LCD TV with satellite channels.

A simple Italian breakfast is served daily in the breakfast room. The Calle Frezzeria area has many cafés, Venetian restaurants and pizzerias for lunch and dinner.

San Marco is a great choice for travellers interested in romance, history and ancient landmarks.

This is our guests’ favourite part of Venice, according to independent reviews.
