The property sits 5 minutes by foot from Piazzale Roma transport hub and 10 minutes from Santa Lucia train station. Hotel Al Sole provides easy access to major attractions like the Frari Church, Scuola Grande di San Rocco, and Campo Santa Margherita's nightlife.

Pros

Housed in an authentic 15th-century noble residence with original Venetian tapestries and furniture

Features a rare private courtyard garden for dining and relaxation

Located in the only Venice district accessible by car and bus

Staff provides local maps and personalized tourism advice

Cons

Limited breakfast selection according to previous guest feedback

20-minute walk or water bus ride to main attractions like Bridge of Sighs

“In my opinion, this is a charming place to stay, set in a former palazzo with a delightful internal garden, a tranquil escape from the city's bustle. I think its location strikes a nice balance, close enough to attractions, yet removed from the busiest areas. The fact that some rooms offer canal views and the staff is dedicated, clearly elevate the experience.”
