Location & what to see

Hotel Bisanzio is located in Calle della Pietà, a characteristic alley in the Castello district of Venice, about 1 metre above sea level.

From the hotel, it is just a 350-metre walk to the Bridge of Sighs and about 450 metres to St. Mark’s Square, home to the Doge’s Palace and the famous Bell Tower. In the immediate vicinity are historic restaurants such as Osteria Oliva Nera just 50 metres away and the bar Al Leon Bianco 300 metres away.
