Location
The Liassidi Hotel is located on the border between the Castello and San Marco districts in Venice.
Situated at the foot of the Ponte dei Greci bridge near the Riva degli Schiavoni, the hotel is not far from Piazza San Marco, the perfect position at the heart of ‘real’ Venice in an enviably peaceful spot away from the well-trodden tourist routes, yet within walking distance of the city’s shopping district. It’s also close to the city’s main sightseeing attractions and the Castello and Arsenale districts where the famous Venice Biennale is held.
Walking along the Riva degli Schiavoni (2 minutes away) you’ll see the San Marco basin, an amazing treasure chest of monumental masterpieces scattered along the banks like precious stones: the church on the San Giorgio island, the Chiesa della Madonna della Salute and Chiesa della Redentore. Further along from this breath-taking vista you’ll come to the Palazzo Ducale (Doge’s Palace) and Piazza San Marco (St Mark’s Square) – “the world’s finest drawing room” dominated by the extraordinary façade and bell tower of the Basilica.
Passing under the Torre dell’Orologio (clock tower) towards the Rialto, you come to the Calle delle Mercerie, a shopping district with a rich variety of merchandise on offer, from Murano glass to leather goods and elegant international designer boutiques.
Below the famous bridge of the same name, the Rialto district with its fish market and small shops is a bustling area; after dark the Erbaria hot spots overlooking the Grand Canal come to life with young people who meet up in the bars and clubs to animate the nighttime scene.
