Albergo Cavalletto & Doge Orseolo - A historic 4-star Venice hotel overlooking the Orseolo Basin, steps from St. Mark's Square

Dating back to 1308, this 4-star Venice hotel overlooks the Orseolo Basin, where gondolas dock just 164.0 ft from St. Mark's Square. The Albergo Cavalletto & Doge Orseolo houses 107 guestrooms equipped with satellite TV, minibars, safes, and free WiFi. A complimentary breakfast buffet featuring fresh fruit, croissants, coffee, and tea is served in the wooden-furnished breakfast room. The property includes three restaurants, including the Cavalletto Restaurant with basin views, a bar, and a conference room. Large mirrors adorn the walls throughout common areas, while windows and terraces provide water-level views. The San Marco-Vallaresso water bus stop stands 2 minutes away, and Hotel Cavalletto features a private water landing. The Bell Tower of St. Mark's Basilica is 229.7 ft away, while the Correr Museum is within 328.1 ft.

Pros

One of Venice's oldest hotels, operating since 1308

Historic guests include Richard Strauss, Winston Churchill, and Hermann Hesse

Private water landing for direct gondola access

Located in San Marco, surrounded by Venetian alleys and squares

Cons

Better value accommodations available farther from St. Mark's Square

Some rooms face small squares rather than the basin

“The location, just off San Marco, is truly enviable, and certain rooms offer delightful views over the gondolas; breakfast on the terrace overlooking the Orseolo Basin is quite special. Though some rooms are simpler than others, the building's history and central position outweigh minor drawbacks in my estimation. A solid choice for a classic Venetian experience.”
