Marco, which is the centre of Venetian life. A gondola with one gondolier costs 1 fr., each piece of luggage 20 c. extra.Hotels. - Danieli, on the Riva degli Schiavoni, the oldest hotel in Venice, has recently become the most luxurious, and has every modern attraction of electric light, lifts, &c. It is the hotel most frequented by royal personages visiting Venice, and thus fulfils the object for which it was originally built by Doge Andrea Dandolo. The painted doors on the first floor are 400 years old, and the ceiling of the principal guest-chamber is attributed to Paolo Veronese. Grand Hotel, a large hotel in the old Palazzo Ferro, is good and comfortable- Europa, good- Italia- Bretagna, excellent for families, but with no good single rooms- Pension Suisse or Hotel de Rome, Hotel Monaco, Pension Anglaise or Hotel Milano - all these are in the same situation near the entrance of the Grand Canal, and close to the Piazza S. Marco: the two first are especially comfortable. Hotel Metrople and its dependance Casa Kirsch are comfortable, and look out on the lagoon: pension 6 to 8 frs. Inghilterra, Riva dei Schiavoni, a small house, pleasant and sunny in winter and spring. Beaurivage and Metropole, in the same situation. Vittoria, on a side canal, good, but overrun by Tourists.Lodgings may easily be obtained (even for a few days) in good situations and at reasonable prices (Casa Biondetta). A residence on the Grand Canal, Zattere, or Riva dei Schiavoni is always to be preferred.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
