Locanda Sant’Anna

Despite its dingy appearance and impossible-to-find location, this guesthouse in down-to-earth Castello is friendly and popular, particularly during the Biennale art exhibitions held every two years (see Biennale Art Exhibition).
Locanda SS Giovanni e Paolo

Breakfast is served in this handy non-smoking guesthouse, only 5 mins from Piazza San Marco.
Luna Hotel Baglioni

Exquisite service in a sophisticated atmosphere of chandeliers and marble. This is Venice’s oldest hotel and hosted Templar knights in the 1100s waiting to embark for the Crusades. Breakfast is served in the drawing room frescoed by pupils of Tiepolo (see Giambattista Tiepolo).
Metropole

Majestic good value establishment, immaculately run. On the water-front only minutes from San Marco, it boasts a wonderful garden, a perfect antidote from the city streets.
Mitwohnzentrale Venice Alternative Accommodation

Venetian resident Helga Gross is in an excellent position to advise on the 150 fully furnished properties she deals with and will rent you a room or a palace from five nights to up to a year.
MyItalianVacation

An efficient US company that manages a vast spectrum of 34 modest and luxurious apartments in Venice with room for up to seven occupants. All are personally inspected.
Ostello Santa Fosca

University student hostel which lets out dorm beds to backpackers, in rambling convent grounds. Cooking facilities are available in summer.
Pensione La Calcina

In 1877 Ruskin stayed at this guesthouse on the Zattere, as the friendly staff eagerly explain. Of course, the rooms have been modernized since those days but they have retained their charm and parquet floors. An exclusive street-level terrace overlooks the Giudecca Canal, while another surveys the rooftops. Advance reservations are essential.
Rentavilla

In operation since 1983, US-based Villanet has 29 places to rent in Venice, some large enough for up to seven people. They can also arrange for car and phone rental.
Rossi

Recommended family hotel, high on hospitality. Spotless rooms, many with lovely views, and conveniently placed for Strada Nova. Book well in advance.
