San Marco Location
The hotel is in San Marco, 100 yards from Saint Mark's Square, the Basilica, and the Ducal Palace. Nearby landmarks include the Rialto Bridge (0.5 km) and La Fenice Theater. The Church of San Moisè, with its baroque façade and 14th-century bell tower, is a short walk away. Parking is available at Tronchetto or Piazzale Roma.
Island Excursions
From Saint Mark's Square, guests can take ferries to Murano, Burano, and Torcello. Murano is known for glassblowing tours, while Burano features colorful houses and lace workshops. The Alilaguna ferry from Venezia Santa Lucia station stops at San Marco, making island trips straightforward.
Family-Run Hospitality
Run by the same family for three generations, Hotel Mercurio emphasizes discreet service. The recently renovated interior includes Murano glass lamps and gold moldings. Check-out extends until 15:00 on Sundays, with breakfast served until 12:00.
Venetian Landmarks Nearby
The 15th-century Palazzo Contarini dal Bovolo, with its spiral staircase, is close by. The Doge's Palace, Peggy Guggenheim Collection, and Gallerie dell'Accademia are within 1 km. The hotel is steps from the Vallaresso ferry stop, connecting to Venice's main attractions.
“This family-run establishment sits in a prime location, a short walk from San Marco and the water bus. I especially appreciate the rare find of canal views and personalized service, while breakfast caters thoughtfully to dietary needs. Its charming Venetian atmosphere makes this a gem for a sensible price.”
