Location

Nestled within the picturesque labyrinth of narrow streets and squares in the heart of the liveliest part of Venice where a myriad of shops and boutiques, market stalls, little restaurants and bacari (typical hostelries) liven up every angle, among all the three star hotels in Venice, Hotel Castello is located in an ideal position for experiencing the authentic Venetian atmospheres and for discovering the splendid areas such as Saint Mark's, which is just a 3 minute walk as well as Rialto, which is just 7 minutes on foot, rich with marvelous testimonies of art and history that contribute to making Venice one of the world's most unique cities. Upon exiting the hotel you will immediately find yourself in Saint Mark's square, which is framed by the Procuraties, a long series of porticoes that house boutiques selling typical craftwork made by Venice's artisans: jewellery shops selling gold jewellery and precious stones, Murano glass, Burano lace and historical cafés whose fame stretches well beyond Venetian confines. Caffè Ristorante Quadri, which opened in 1775 was often frequented by those from literary and artistic circles, among whom Sthendal, Lord Byron and Richard Wagner, it still retains the refined charm of the atmospheres of the Venice of the 1700's just like Caffè Florian, where amidst rooms and Rococò alcoves that have been preserved perfectly, characters such as Carlo Goldoni and Casanova, Goethe and Foscolo, Proust and D'Annunzio would often meet to sample the establishment's famous coffee and delicious hot chocolate.
