Venice accommodation

[NoddY]

Staying on the Lido is another options. Cheaper than the city and the vaporetto ride accross the lagoon in the mornings is a nice relaxing start to the day.

I would suggest the Lido too.

Stayed here http://www.anticodoge.com/en/index.htm for Carnival one year. Main room with balcony overlooking the small canal out the front.

Only a short stroll to St Marks or Rialto. Takes a bit longer in a mask and cape

I thought the batmobile could drive on water.

I stayed in a little hotel almost in the middle of the city, 10 mins stroll from St Marks. It only had a dozen rooms if that, the one I was in was lovely, canopied bed, gilded plasterwork the lot. Cost about 50 euro a night including breakfast the summer before last.
I suppose you'd call it a B&B rather than a Hotel since it didn't offer dinner, but there are so many great places to eat in every Italian city I wouldn't want that anyway.

I just pitched up at the booking office in the railway station and they found it for me, if I can find their card I'll post the name of the place.
