Hotel Fontana – A Favorite for Families in Venice

Hotel Fontana occupies a restored 18th-century Venetian house in a quiet area just off the waterfront, a 5-minute walk from St Mark's Square and the Bridge of Sighs. The hotel sits behind San Zaccaria square, 10 minutes from Rialto Bridge, and provides quick access to the San Zaccaria vaporetto stop for water transport. Guests can reach major attractions like St Mark's Basilica and the Grand Canal without crossing any bridges from the Monument stop, 3 minutes away.

Rooms overlook characteristic squares below, with some offering a private terrace that has views of the gothic San Zaccaria church. Each room includes air conditioning, a private bathroom, and a wardrobe with extra blankets and pillows. The hotel has a modern elevator, a 24-hour bar, a shared lounge/TV area, and allergy-free rooms on request.

The family-run management provides personalized hospitality with a 24-hour front desk, concierge service, and multilingual staff who offer local insights. Guests can use express check-in/check-out, luggage storage, and a tour desk for arranging excursions. The staff can also arrange babysitting or child services, and assist with water taxi bookings.

Families receive spacious rooms that can accommodate a cot and a pram, with the staff providing a kettle and a cot upon request. The hotel's elevator and flat walk from the vaporetto stop make it easy for families with strollers or luggage. Nearby restaurants and bars offer child-friendly dining options, and the hotel's location allows quick returns for naps or breaks.

A rich breakfast selection is available each morning in the dining area, with options including pastries, fruits, and coffee. The hotel has a charming terrace where guests can relax or eat meals, and a 24-hour bar provides drinks at any hour. Restaurants and trattorias serving authentic Italian food are located across the street and within a 2-minute walk.
