Traghetto in front of Foscari
hotel.
by breughelhotel.
The hotel is accessible with a taxi boat but also by the Vaporetto Linea 1 which stops at Ca' d'Oro. Here one has to walk only 100 m of flat ground (no bridge!) to reach the hotel.
One wing of the hotel gives onto Campo Santo, a small square connecting the Grand Canal and the Strada Nova which is the main trading artery of the district Cannaregio.
Our room of "superior" type was facing the Campo Santo which has a width of a dozen metres. By bending out of the window we had sight on the Grand Canal.
Our room was about 20 m2 plus a hall and a nice and complete bathroom. The room was very well furnished. The cleanliness was perfect; the towels were renewed twice a day. TV with flat screen. The nights were quiet.
The other facade of the hotel gives onto an alley about 2 m wide.
The more expensive luxe rooms and suites are at the façade on the Grand Canal.
Buffet breakfast with a wide choice of fresh fruits.
The staff is irreproachable and helpful; all speak English.
From the large number of shorts seen in the breakfast room we deducted that the clientele was mainly North-American.
Upon our arrival a cup of fruit and mineral water was waiting for us and upon leaving we received a basket with drinks and biscuits for the journey, what is a rare attention.
