The hotel Locanda Poste Vecie is located in the most Venetian heart of the city, at a stone's throw from the Rialto Bridge. Once home to the old post offices of the Serenissima Republic, it is perfect for visiting the historic center (especially the lively districts of San Polo and San Marco) and it offers classic, elegant and quiet rooms, thanks to its position in a secondary street.

The surroundings of the Locanda are very lively, especially in the early hours of the morning, when the market is colored with sounds and voices of the real Venice and the stalls display the vegetables of Sant'Erasmo and the typical fish of the lagoon. The designer boutiques are just over the Rialto Bridge, on the Mercerie that lead to the San Marco district, where one of the most beautiful squares in the world awaits you, surrounded by monuments and museums of immeasurable historical and artistic importance: Basilica of San Marco, Palazzo Ducale , Loggia del Campanile, Procuratie with Marciana Library and Correr Museum. A less touristy and equally (or perhaps more) fascinating Venice is on this side of the Rialto Bridge: in the labyrinth of lanes around the Locanda lies the delightful Campo Santa Maria Domini, enclosed between medieval buildings with the typical Byzantine windows. A 10-minute walk and you arrive at Ca' Pesaro, a splendid and rare seventeenth-century palace in Venice. It is the seat of the Museum of Modern Art, which collects one of the most important collections of modern and contemporary art in Italy.
