When you are ready to mellow out and enjoy the real Venice.
When planning a trip to Venice, some of the popular
hotels you might research are Danieli, Cipriani or the Westin Europa and
Regina. On our last trip, we wanted to stay in a neighborhood that was
less touristy. Nestled between the vaporetto stops of Salute and San
Marco is a charming little hotel called DD 724. This small boutique is
only 50 steps from the Peggy Guggenheim Collection and minutes away from
the Accademia Gallery and several delightful restaurants.
Apart
from the modern design and attentive staff, we found that staying on the
south bank of the Canal Grande in the Dorsoduro neighborhood made us
feel like we lived there. Each day as we walked along the canals of the
neighborhood, we would run into locals sipping an espresso, walking
their dogs, or repairing their boats. It was a refreshing experience to
be away from the heavily populated tourist streets. Better still, when
we did want to cross over to the north bank, we had two vaperettos with
routes in opposite directions. This made it easy when we wanted to visit
the Francois Pinault’s Palazzo Grassi Museum and the Basilica di San
Marco.
The hotel in Venice, Italy has recently acquired an Annex with suites that are a bit larger than the rooms in the main building.
Take a look at DD724’s and DD694's special offers for this season.
