HOTEL DUE FANALI
Italy - Venice (Venice)Santa Croce 946
Description Built near the church of S. Simon the Prophet, founded around the year '967 by rich families, the Due Fanali Hotel was initially an oratory in wood used by fishermen and gardeners, which was subsequently rebuilt. The interior vaunts paintings by Jacopo Palma The Young, one of the most important of the sixteenth-century mannerist painters. The Hotel was, on the contrary, an ancient religious school connected to the oratory. On the outside a beautiful bas relief of the Saint still witnesses this past. The Hotel also offers four apartment suites near St. Mark's Square, on the Riva degli Schiavoni, an interesting alternative to a hotel room, characterised by greater privacy and efficient organization in a comfortable, typically Venetian atmosphere.

Location
The Hotel is located in the Sestiere di S. Croce, near the church of S. Simon the Prophet, once famous for wool working and other crafts of great importance for the city's economy, in a strategic and comfortable spot for those arriving from the station or Piazzale Roma, efficiently served by public transportation. Moreover,
a charming walk leads to the central St. Mark's square, through narrow alleys and small squares which are not part of the classic route that is normally chosen by tourists.
