Description:
This recently restored 3 star hotel belongs to the monastery complex of the evocatively named 'Barefooted Carmelite Friars of Venice'. The buildings date from 1879 and still retain the charm of the ancient abbey with its high ceilings and cool tranquillity, away from the hurly burly of Venice. The location is very convenient, 100 metres from the Santa Lucia railway station, five minutes walk from the car park at the Piazzale Roma and the main vaporetto water-bus stops at the Ponte degli Scalzi bridge, the bridge of the barefooted. The delightfully peaceful garden and the ancient buildings conceal 50 nicely restored rooms all well-equipped with such non-monastic facilities as private bathroom, hairdryer, central heating, air-conditioning, telephone, internet connection, safety box, satellite TV and mini-bar.
