Residenza Universitaria Gesuiti
College, Hostel and Hotel
Visited 18 days in June/July.
A bit rustic, wonderfully authentic.
The location is sublime. Feet away from the Vaporetto that brings you from and to Marco Polo airport, affords you the view of the lagoon, Isola di San Michele (Venetian cemetery, worth a visit) with Murano, Venetian Glass, in the near distance.
The staff, especially Daniele, Sebastiano made welcomed me in true Italian fashion. I would be remiss to forget Andrea(who gave me a great Italian cigar,) and Otabor friendly above and beyond. These very fine gentlemen made time at the hotel, and lounging in the vast courtyard, a fine social experience.
Feet away, literally, is Tortuga caffé serving a myriad of Italian specialties, cold beer and Spritz.
The hotel is a former Jesuit Seminary filled with artwork.
Attached is one of Venice’s most beautiful churches, Chiesa di Santa Maria Assunta Detta I Gesuiti.
The neighborhood (sestiere), Cannaregio, is relatively quiet, home to locals and stunningly beautiful buildings with caffés, fine restaurants and campi(squares).
Rooms are modern, and spacious for Venice. My window looked out on the lagoon, Isole San Michele and Murano (fine Venetian glass)with the Italian Alps in the distance which are visible on a clear day.
Breakfast is provided at a local caffé. Espresso, orange juice, and sweet biscuits are common fare.
Plenty of hot water. A common refrigerator/freezer a
