An affordable hotel in the historic and artistic heart of Venice - the Hotel Caprera is in the ancient Cannaregio district (sestiere). Nearby sights in this quarter first laid out a thousand years ago include Europe's original Jewish Ghetto, the Scuola Grand di San Rocco and the Ca' Foscari university area.
Cannaregio Canal was the original route into Venezia, before the railways came, and the area is conveniently close to the railway station at Santa Lucia and to the city's car and bus park. From here it is easy walking to Piazza San Marco, through the narrow calli (alleys and streets) lined with little shops and houses. This family-run hotel, dating back to the fifties, was completely restored in 2005.
