B&B Arabesque  

In the heart of Venice's Castello, a short stroll from St. Mark's Square and the Bridge of Sighs. This bed & breakfast puts you minutes from St. Mark's Basilica, the Doge's Palace and the Grand Canal, with Rialto Bridge and the Arsenale about a 10-minute walk.

Housed in the historic Palazzo Zorzi-Bon (circa 1300), the B&B has just three air-conditioned rooms — Djerba, Marrakesh and Damasco — with single, double, twin, triple and quadruple configurations. Rooms offer terrace views and complimentary Wi-Fi. Bathrooms feature shower/tub combinations; some rooms share a bathroom. A small library adds a quietly cultured vibe.

Take in city views from a terrace and stay connected with complimentary wireless internet. The intimate scale and central spot make it ideal for sightseeing on foot.

Featured conveniences include luggage storage and an on-site library. Staff speak English, Italian and French.

A complimentary local-cuisine breakfast is served daily from 8 AM to 10 AM, a good way to start a day of exploring Venice's flavors and sights.
