Walking directions to Hotel San Fantin (with map)

From: Venice Hotel Directions

The Hotel San Fantin is on a small square behind the Gran Teatro La Fenice, Venice's legendary opera house, and next to the Hotel-Restaurant La Fenice et des Artistes.

Despite its quiet location, the hotel is convenient to the Piazza San Marco and the Rialto Bridge.

How to reach Hotel San Fantin from the Alilaguna Linea Arancio airport-boat pier at Sant' Angelo:

1. Leave the Sant' Angelo waterbus stop and walk straight ahead into the Corte de l'Albero, a small square just inland from the Grand Canal.

2. Bear left, walk past the Hotel de l'Alboro, and exit the square via the Calle de l'Albero.

3. At the canal, turn right, walk a short distance along the water, and cross the bridge on your left (the Ponte de l'Albero).

4. After crossing the bridge, walk a few meters straight ahead to the Calle dei Avvocati.

5. Turn right at the Calle dei Avvocati.

6. Continue walking down the Calle dei Avvocati and past the Campo Sant' Angelo (a large square on your right) into a narrower street named the Calle del Caffettier.

7. Continue straight ahead, crossing a bridge that will lead you to a covered passage, the Sotoportego de la Malvasia Vecchia.

8. Go through the covered passage. As you emerge from the sotoportego, you'll find the Hotel San Fantin on your left, across from the Hotel-Restaurant La Fenice et des Artistes (which will be immediately to your right).
