Position
Casa Querini is located in the Castello neighborhood, in a strategic position just 5 minutes from Piazza San Marco, near the San Zaccaria stop, where the boats from Piazzale Roma, the train station and the airport dock.
Every place in Venice can be easily reached from Casa Querini! In fact, just a few minutes separate you form the stalls of the lively Rialto market and its famous bridge and, continuing on a little farther towards San Marco, you can shop for designer labels in the Mercerie District.
Piazza San Marco is the heart of Venice, a romantic sitting room for those seated at the tables of its historic cafés on summer evenings or an opportunity to see splendid monuments such as the Saint Mark's Basilica, the Correr Museum, the Palazzo Ducale and the very high bell tower which provides a spectacular view of Venice.
From the San Zaccaria stop, you can take a vaporetto water bus to the Venice Lido, which has always been the beach of Venice, an island with a wealth of Art Nouveau villas and tree-lined avenues, the site of the prestigious Venice International Film Festival; if you get off a little early, at the Gardens, you visit the pavilions of the Venice Biennale International Art Exhibition.
The Casa Querini Inn is not far from Riva degli Schiavoni, where boats depart for an extraordinary tour of the Lagoon, with stops at the glassworks of Murano and the colorful houses of Burano, without forgetting about a pleasant visit to take in the poetic atmosphere of Torcello.
Santa Maria Formosa
- Just 50 meters from the rooms of the inn, on the boundary with the San Marco neighborhood, you will find Campo Santa Maria Formosa, one of the liveliest and most fascinating squares of Venice, with a very old church, dating from the 7th century, two beautiful well curbs made of "pietra d’Istria" stone and the nearby Palazzo Querini Stampalia and Palazzo Grimani.
- Casa Querini overlooks the tranquil square called Campo San Giovanni Novo, where a small terrace in the shade of a church of the same name, offers precious moments of relaxation during which you will come in contact with the magic of Venice. Campo San Giovanni Novo is sheltered from the hustle and bustle of the tourists and preserves the flavor of the truer Venice, that of the Castello neighborhood, where established habits and old traditions are still intact.
