Venice is a unique and magic City built on the water, our Hotel L’Orologio is located in sestiere San Polo only few steps from the famous Rialto Bridge and its historical Food market.
The San Polo sestiere has its origins around its main square “Campo San Polo” the largest of the city, second only to Saint Mark’s square.
Rialto is one of the four bridges spanning the Grand Canal in Venice. It is the oldest bridge across the canal, and was the dividing line for the districts of San Marco and San Polo.
The area is very liveliness either in the morning ,the market is open every day except Sundays, and in the evening there are many bars frequented by Venetians and Tourists. This part of the city is very nice and interesting not only from an artistic and historical point of view but also because populate by many Venetians, a part of the city where it is well worth to get lost.
From the hotel you can enjoy the view of Venice’s most magnificent palazzo originally known as the Palazzo Santa Sofia but now commonly known as the Ca' d'Oro (House of Gold).
