Hotel Ai Mori D'Oriente, Cannaregio, Venice
Lovely smallish hotel in a quiet part of venice, away from the crowds of san marco but only 10 mins walk from the san marcuola vaparetto stop (grand canal) and close to the boat stop from the airport.
nowhere in venice is too far to walk
... / use public vaparetto.
friendly helpful staff who will recommend and book evening restauants if you need them to.
