So here is a map of Venice, or actually a satellite picture. I think that the ships dock on the Guidecca Island, but I am not sure about that yet. Most of the hotels we have found are not far from St. Marks Square. The Dorsodoro is the section of the island south of the Grand Canal (sort of where the end of the word falls on the picture) and the area where we stayed last time. So to summarize the earlier posts:
- Pensione Calcina (Dorsodoro) - Double (2 people) with a view €143-165 (about €70-85 per person per night)
- Hotel American (Dorsodoro) - Double with canal view €180, Triple €180, Quadruple €220 (about €90 per person per night)
- Hotel Flora (near St. Marks) - Superior Double room , 3 nights, €620 (about €210 per night, about €105 per person per night).
- Hotel Metropole (on other side of St. Marks) - per night standard Double € 210,00 - € 500,00, Deluxe Double € 280,00 - € 580,00, Junior Suite € 400,00 - € 800,00, Lagoon View € 400,00 - € 800,00 (about €110 per person per night to €250 per person per night)
- Locanda Vivaldi (near Metropole) -per night Double Standard room, €190, Double Superior room Lagoon view, €260, Junior Suite, €290, extra bed, €50 (assuming Superior room, about 130 per person per night).
- Hotel Saturnia (between St. Marks & Rialto Bridge) - €288 per night for standard double room, 345 Superior room, 396 for triple (about €140-150 per person per night).
Note 1: Alex said she is looking at the Savoia Jolanda . The pictures show it is ok, although they feature a room with a round bed. It gets an pretty good review from Trip Advisor. The prices go from $287 (US dollars) for a room with no view to $445 room with a view.
Note 2: Carol suggested another hotel we found from someone on Cruise Critic. It is called the Hotel Violino d'Oro Venice. Prices range from €99 for non-weekend standard rooms (€115 on Saturday), to €140 for canal view (€145 on Saturday). This sound good. Check it out.
Note 3: Cruise Critic person recommended Hotel Becher. Prices are a little higher than Violino, but it is located in the same area and looks like they have gondoliers outside their windows too!
Note 4: Sally's daughter is staying at the Hotel Splendid which sounds very nice.

We any of the rooms in the Hotel American familiar to you? Something about the pink one reminded me of the room you had. Maybe it is the doorway looking outside that reminds me of your room. I remember that night we had drinks before we went out to eat. It seems like yesterday. What fun!
We had the room that went across the front on the 2d floor, with the door that went outside. I thought it was yellow. I probably have pictures! Hope you had a good T-day.
I was looking again at the Venice hotels. The think the pension looks very pleasant and maybe just about the right amount we might want to pay. Of course, we need to ALL discuss this. I liked you idea of all of us getting together. I would vote for comming up there, but I know that Judy and Lesley have just too much going on at the holidays to take any trips.
I thought the pensione looked good too. Plus I liked the location. Sort of different from being on the main drag to St. Marks. It might also be easier to get to from the ship (not sure).
I think Lesley mentioned that she thought this looked like a good place. I think the price is good and the pictures look pleasant enough. Maybe we can find out more info.
I found it on the Karen Brown site and she liked it. Also here are some reviews that sound likes everyone loved it on the Trip Advisor website (http://tinyurl.com/24agdo).
