LOCATION

Welcome to Venice: you will soon be at Hotel Arlecchino, elegant 3 star facility in the sestiere (or district) of Santa Croce, at piazzale Roma: a strategic point in order to arrive into the city, reachable with cruise ships that dock at the tourist harbor, from the maritime train station, from the bus terminal or with your own car that you may leave in the garage and in the parking of piazzale Roma or at Tronchetto.


To quickly enter in the heart of this lagoon city all you need to do is take a ferry boat, or simply walk. You can also cross the new Ponte della Costituzione, that crosses Venice's Canal Grande between Piazzale Roma and the train station of Santa Lucia.

  • Rent-a-car
  • Taxi
  • Town parking and garage San Marco
  • Tronchetto Parking (isola del Tronchetto or Tronchetto Island) with ferry boat n. 17 that leaves from Tronchetto (Tronchetto Ferry stop) and arrives at the Lido di Venezia (S. Nicolò Ferry stop)

From 3 star Hotel Arlecchino, every close by itinerary or activity will be intense and lively, like drinking a pre-dinner cocktail in campo Santa Margherita for example: delightful little Venetian square filled with bars, restaurants and typical shops, it is a well known meeting point amongst teens and students from the university of Venice Ca’ Foscari. In the mornings Campo Santa Margherita holds a small and traditional fish market: a plaque placed on the facade of the Scuola dei Varoteri (school for leather tanners) indicates, just like the one at the Mercato di Rialto, the minimum size that the fish had to have in order to be sold.

The street from Hotel Arlecchino that leads to the imposing basilica Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari is beautiful. This church is one of the biggest in Venice and preserves precious paintings made by Tiziano and Bellini. The Grande Scuola di San Rocco is also a must see. This building was once used to assist the poor and ill during the plague, bringing together religious fraternities, artisan associations and charity institutions. The inside is adorned with beautiful paintings made by the Venetian painter Jacopo Tintoretto. Nearby there is the Scuola San Giovanni Evangelista, business facility used for conferences and conventions, plus concerts and exhibits.


In only a few mintues you reach the fascinating Squero San Trovaso, where boats and gondolas are built and repaired.
