Venice, the Hotel Bonvecchiati:
Refined elegance, comfort and exclusive services, a water landing for gondolas and motor boats and a romantic restaurant on the terrace: the Hotel Bonvecchiati, which has been welcoming guests to the heart of Venice since 1790, is just 3 minutes from Saint Mark’s Square and 5 from the Rialto Bridge, for the most exclusive and unforgettable of visit.
Located in the heart of Venice, the Hotel Bonvecchiati has the most privileged position of any 4-star hotel in Venice: the hotel is in Calle Goldoni, just a 3-minute walk from Saint Mark’s Square and 5 minutes from the Rialto Bridge; the Rialto stop of the vaporetti that will take you to the Grand Canal and the Venice Lido is also 5 minutes away.
The walk through the area around the hotel is a true pleasure: Fondamenta Orseolo follows the canal and will take you to Saint Mark’s Square crossing the Orseolo Basin, a picturesque gondola station (the largest in Venice) that holds scores of boats, creating one of Venice’s most characteristic sights.
After you pass under the portico, you will find the spectacle of Saint Mark’s Square opening up before you. The long porticos of the Procuratie define the perimeter of the Square and frame Saint Mark’s Basilica with its splendid Byzantine shapes adorned with spires, gothic pinnacles and glittering mosaics.
The temple of Venice’s civil and religious life and the maximum expression of Venice’s greatness, for 1,000 years Saint Mark’s Basilica was the Ducal Chapel and Church of State and its interiors are a historical and artistic tour of Venetian civilization of unimaginable wealth. Entirely covered by gilded mosaics that are among the most beautiful in the world, it envelopes the visitors in a unique spiritual and artistic atmosphere.
The light pink mass of the Ducal Palace that faces the Basilica is one of the highest examples of the “gotico fiorito” style and was once the Doge’s residence and the heart of Venice’s political and administrative life. Here, also, the art and grandeur of the interiors will leave you flabbergasted. Salons and teleri (large paintings on canvas covering the ceilings and walls) celebrate Venice’s glory in a succession of masterpieces.
After so many emotions, you will enjoy a pleasant pause at one of the Square’s historic cafés. Carlo Goldoni, Stendhal, Lord Byron and Turner stopped at the Florian and Quadri for coffee.
Just as Saint Mark’s Square is the heart of Venice’s art, history and faith, the Rialto has always been the city’s commercial center. From the Hotel Bonvecchiati you can get there in 5 minutes on foot, passing through lively lanes and picturesque squares filled with artisans’ workshops and designer boutiques for those who love Shopping.
The characteristic Rialto Bridge crosses the Grand Canal and takes you to the heart of the fruit and vegetable market. The colorful stands offer the early produce from Sant’Erasmo, Venice’s island vegetable garden, while a little farther on, the Pescheria offersmoeche and masenete (crabs), schie (lagoon prawns), some of the lagoon’s crustaceans and fish that, along with the vegetables from Sant’Erasmo are transformed into authentic delicacies on the tables of the Bonvecchiati’s restaurant.

    • My husband and I have used Travel in Style since 2009 and have been extremely happy with their outstanding service. We are independent travelers who have traveled to over 100 countries and were looking for a company that would go the extra mile to give us a memorable, custom-tailored and flexible experience. All of the arrangements that the company made moved like seamless choreography during the duration of our vacations. The level of the tours that Travel in Style always puts together is beyond anything we has previously experienced with other tour companies, including the most well-known high-end names in the industry. All of the tour guides we have had are licensed by the government, very well educated, have many years of experience, and they were all passionate about doing their jobs. For our most recent trip, Travel in Style arranged for the best hotels in various cities throughout Turkey, Palestine/Israel with the most outstanding food and service available. They also made sure that all transportation went smoothly which included escorting us expeditiously through the various levels of often-complicated airport procedures. If you are looking for an independent tour company that will cater to all your needs, wants and desires, and that provides unexpected extras, e.g., fresh flowers in the hotel rooms, Turkish delights (candies etc.), you should choose Travel in Style. Turkey, Holy Land (Israel and Palestine)
