Venice makes sense on foot. From the Frari to Rialto takes about 9 minutes; getting lost in a quiet courtyard may take another twenty. Here, distance is measured not only in metres, but in bridges, turns and vaporetto stops.
Our hotels occupy different buildings and tell the story of different neighbourhoods. None tries to sum up the city: each offers a place to begin, clear directions for getting there and the freedom to shape the rest.
