Hotel Palazzo Giovanelli, overlooking the Grand Canal in the heart of the historic center. A relaxing, quiet Venice, far from the tourist crowds, between Cà Pesaro and the Church of San Stae. Hotel Palazzo Giovanelli is right near the stop for the vaporetto (the usual means of transport in Venice), which makes its way past centuries-old palaces towards Piazzale Roma, Venice`s car terminal, and the splendid St. Mark`s Square. Nestled between the Procuratie buildings, you will find St. Mark`s Basilica, the Doge`s Palace and El paron de casa, the high bell tower that dominates the square. Right near Hotel Palazzo Giovanelli, visit the Venice Casino (Ca` Vendramin-Calergi), the gorgeous Ca’ d’Oro and the oldest Venice with its artisan shops, the designer shopping in the Mercerie and the lively Rialto area, with its bacari (typical Venetian inns) and the famous market |
