The "Hotel Locanda Ovidius", completely
rebuilt, offers its guests splendid rooms, elegantly furnished
in Venetian eighteenth-century style, and a breakfast room
overlooking the Canal Grande and the Rialto Bridge, which
was the only pedestrian connection between the two parts of
the city until the nineteenth century. It is one of the most
famous symbols of Venice.
The Hotel
is right next to the Rialto, a name deriving from "rivoaltus",
indicating the point where the land rose highest above the
water, safe from high tides; one of the first settlements
in Venice was built in this area. Rialto was the centre of
traffic and trade; in fact, it was once said that all the
gold in the known world passed by this place.
The "Hotel
Locanda Ovidius", located on the main floor of the palace,
vaunts an elegant and cordial interior with nine rooms with
whirlpool bath or shower, remote controlled air conditioning,
telephone with direct external line, satellite colour television,
fridge bar, safe, hair dryer.The
luminous breakfast room moreover continues onto the terrace,
from which the guests may enjoy a fascinating view of the
Canal Grande and the Rialto Bridge
