The three-star Hotel Gardena (red building in photo) is on the Rio dei Tolentini, a pretty and sunny neighborhood canal near the Piazzale Roma and the railroad station. It's easy to reach on foot from airport buses, taxis, and the People Mover from the Marittima cruise port.

(We've stayed at the Gardena, and we loved both the hotel and its location.)

How to reach the Hotel Gardena from Piazzale Roma:

1. Walk to the tree-lined side of the Piazzale Roma where a red-and-white crosswalk from the central bus area feeds into a sidewalk through the trees.

2. Go through the trees, past the vendor stands, to a low stone bridge.

3. Cross the bridge. On the other side of the canal, turn left and walk along the fondamenta or sidewalk by the park.

4. When you reach the corner, continue around to the right.

5. Beyond the park, you'll reach a second small bridge. Cross it and turn right onto the side staircase before you reach the bottom.

6. Walk a short distance along the canal. The Hotel Gardena is a pink building that overlooks the canal.

From the Santa Lucia railroad station:

1. As you leave the station, turn right and walk past a large building to the Calatrava Bridge (a.k.a. the Ponte della Costituzione).

2. Cross the bridge to the Piazzale Roma.

3. Follow the directions above.

From the Marittima cruise terminals:

1. Take a free shuttle bus (if available), a taxi, or the People Mover elevated tramway to the Piazzale Roma. (The People Mover's glass-enclosed station is just beyond the port gates.)

2. Follow the directions above.
