ADDITIONAL INFO: Independent 'VENICE SHORT BREAK' holiday
The guest house takes its name from the very particular and ancient bridge without a parapet, one of which is at the entrance of the house, and is the only one remained in the town of Venice. We offer you the opportunity to feel the spirit of Venice with accommodation in a recently restored (2003) antique Venetian house. It is located near the famous palace Ca’ D’Oro and, across the Grand Canal, from the famous Rialto fish and spice Market, then not far from St. Mark Square. The guest house gives you the opportunity to be in the centre of the city, but at the same time, is located on a quiet street away from the busiest tourist thoroughfares.
