Fontana Hotel in Venice

Show description from: activehotels gtahotels

Family-run Hotel Fontana is a restored 18th-century Venetian house which enjoys a central location in Venice, just behind San Zaccaria square and a few blocks from Saint Mark’s square. In a quiet area just off the waterfront, this hotel is perfect for getting to know this unique city. Waterbuses stop just outside the hotel and much of the city is just walking distance away, including Rialto and its busy markets, which are a 10 minute stroll away. Saint Mark’s square, with its spectacular cathedral is even closer, just 5 minutes away, as is the Bridge of Sighs. Comfortable rooms overlook the characteristic squares below and some have a private terrace with views of gothic San Zaccaria church, which is just next door. Well-run, with friendly staff and an emphasis on service and hospitality, this hotel is a great solution for an unforgettable stay in Venice.

A truly delightful, family run, Fontana Hotel just a stone's throw from St. Mark's Square, the Fontana Hotel has been in the same family for nearly 40 years.

Located in the midst of one of Venice's many small, yet thriving, squares, the Fontana Hotel offers a informal hospitality in a pleasant and friendly manner. This is a traditional hotel without a hint of contemporary furnishings - in fact quite the opposite, the atmosphere and ambience of the public areas is warm and inviting with antique furnishings, marble floors and traditional Venetian paintings.

All in all, the Fontana is well worth a try. (NB. Having been built in the 17th century, the hotel does not have the facility for an elevator)
