With a location on the
Cannaregio Canal, next to the Ponte delle Guglie bridge,
La Palazzina Veneziana is convenient to both the Alilaguna Linea Arancio
airport-boat stop at Guglie and Santa Lucia Railroad Station. (The station is
only about 10 minutes away, with no bridges to cross until you reach the
Cannaregio Canal.)
The upscale B&B has a range of double and twin rooms in the main
building (shown above) and in an annex 100 meters away. All rooms are
air-conditioned, have private bathrooms, and include free Wi-Fi.
How to reach La Palazzina Veneziana from the Guglie
boat stop:
As you leave the Alilaguna Linea Arancio (Orange Line)
airport boat's pier, turn right and walk south along the Canareggio Canal.
In less than a minute, you'll reach a wide pedestrian
street, the Rio Tera S. Leonardo, with a bridge (the Ponte delle Guglie) on
your right.
The Palazzina's entrance will be just ahead of you on the
other side of the street, on the left side of the Trattoria alla Palazzina's
maroon awning. (See photo above.)

From Santa Lucia Railroad Station:
ABOVE: This map shows the route from Venezia
Santa Lucia Railroad Station to the Ponte delle Guglie on the Cannaregio Canal.
Walking time is 5 to 10 minutes over level ground.
Leave the railroad station by the marble steps outside the main doors, or by the easy-to-miss
(and conveniently stair-free)
side exit if you have rolling luggage, a stroller, or a wheelchair.
When you reach the wide fondamenta or pavement in
front of the station, turn left.
Walk past the Scalzi Church and the Scalzi Bridge toward the
Lista di Spagna (a busy pedestrian thoroughfare).
Continue down the Lista di Spagna, through the Campo San
Geremia (you'll see a large domed church on your right), and on to the Ponte
delle Guglie Bridge.
Cross the bridge. La Palazzina Veneziana will be on your
right immediately after the bridge. Look for the entrance just beyond the
Trattoria alla Palazzina's maroon awning.
