4.2This hotel is conveniently located near the Zatere Vaporetto stop, a short walk to the Bridge at L'Acedemia and easily within a 15-20 minute walk to Sam Marco Square or Rialto Bridge. An additional advantage was the fact that they were "off the beaten path" so we were not surrounded by crowds of people at night.
Outside our window we had a view of the small canal on which the hotel sits, the larger on off to the right and a quaint pedestrial way running right and left across the small canal. This Pension is also ver convenient to a grocery store (supermercato) about 10 minutes away where we picked up bread, meat, cheese, wine, etc for nice lunches. If you waly to the right past Zatere Stop to the next canal and turn right, there is a very nice wine shop about 250 meter from the turn.
There were 6 in our group (5 adults and one young child, 3 rooms) and we had a wonderful time and appreciated the hospitality of the hotel employees.
One caution to travellers arriving by air, plese give yourself enough time to get to the airport. One of our party flew in (we took the train) and took the water transport to the airport from Zatere. It took 85 minutes so please factor this into your time estimate.
