Tip from tour guide
Just 750 m (2,461 ft) from this hotel, you will find Calle dei Cordoni where you can find artisan craft shops. The region derives its name from "cordone," the Italian word for "cords," and you can explore this region on foot to save money. This maritime city was known for a thriving cord industry earlier, and the 'passamaneri' (artisans) have worked in the guild since 1663. Later, they expanded to 205 looms, 42 shops, 55 cord masters, 36 workers, and 4 apprentices.

Tip from tour guide
You can take a 16-minute walk from this hotel to reach the undiscovered streets of Sotoportego del Magazen, meaning "underpassage of the warehouse." These 'magazens', once wine shops doubling as makeshift pawnshops, allowed locals to pledge valuable items and settle the payments later with money.

These establishments also witnessed scandalous trysts and affairs, particularly during the Carnival, adding an intriguing layer to their historical tapestry.
