San Gallo (Venice, Italy)

The San Gallo Hotel is located in a small characteristic campo (square), called San Gallo or Rusolo, which has an ancient well and curb and is very close to St Mark's Square (50 metres). This is the area where the ORSEOLO family estate stood in the Tenth Century; one member of this ancient noble family, Pietro I Orseolo, was elected Doge (chief magistrate) between the years 976 and 978. br The hotel location is unique thanks to its proximity to the major places of interest in the town; in fact, St Mark's Square is only 50 metres away, and La Fenice Theatre is only 5 minutes' walk from the Campo. br The hotel can be very easily reached, should you travel by car, by train or plane, as it is near San Marco pier, no. 15, where all public transport means arrive from Piazzale Roma, the railway station, the Tronchetto car park and the Marco Polo airport. br
