Venice is divided into six main neighborhoods called sestieri, or “sixths”. Each one beautiful and alluring but can perplex any wanderluster. The six districts are: San Marco, Cannaregio, Castello, Dorsoduro, San Polo, and Santa Croce. Check out these accommodations to stay in while you navigate your way through beautiful Venice.

5. Hotel Al Ponte Mocenigo: in the tiniest of the districts (from USD 97)
Santa Croce is considered the tiniest of the six districts. It is a mix of industrial and sleepy, old palazzi. It is very non-touristy and if that is good with you, then this is your district. The Hotel Al Ponte Mocenigo has 10 rooms spread over two floors of an old Venetian building, looking out onto a court yard. Each room has a private bathroom, flat-screen TV, and each have a four poster bed with a Venetian wooden headboard.

The building is traditional Venetian, where each room has antiques and a flat screen TV. Since this hotel can only be accessed by boat, you must take a water taxi.
