The Hotel Locanda Ovidius, completely
rebuilt, offers its guests splendid rooms, elegantly furnished in Venetian
eighteenth-century style, and a breakfast
room overlooking the Canal Grande and the Rialto Bridge, which was the
only pedestrian connection between the two parts of the city until the nineteenth
century. It is one of the most famous symbols of Venice. |

The Hotel is right next to the
Rialto, a name deriving from "rivoaltus", indicating the point
where the land rose highest above the water, safe from high tides; one of
the first settlements in Venice was built in this area. Rialto was the centre
of traffic and trade; in fact, it was once said that all the gold in the
known world passed by this place. |

It is still the favourite
market of the locals; it is crowded, picturesque and definitely worth a
visit. You will be surprised by the vivacity, the ringing voices in the
fish markets and the striking colours in the vegetable market. You will
be met with warmth and courtesy by a staff making every effort to ensure
your memories of Venice will be as pleasant as possible. Useful guide to the Reservation >>> |
