Venice's most famous attractions are her streets of water, the canals navigated by Gondolas, and the best way to get to know this city is from the water, passing below the picturesque bridges that cross from one bank to the other. With this in mind it's ideal to find accommodation near the Ponte Rialto, one of the bridges that cross the Grand Canal and the best place to find a Goldolero who will guide you along this principal artery which flows from one side of Venice to the other.

Here, near the widest point of the Grand Canal you can find accommodation close to this famous footbridge - the Ponte Rialto. It was first built of wood in 1444 and then artists such as Miguel Angel and Palladio were contracted for its second reconstruction. Finally in 1591 Antonio da Ponte took charge of the works and made what is today a beautiful and unique marble structure, decorated on the edges with carvings from the 16th Century.
