Hotel Colombina
N. Italy: Veneto: Venice
Facing on the small canal (Rio Canonica e Palazzo) which runs under the Bridge of Sighs, the Hotel Colombina is a wonderful choice in Venice. Only a few steps from St. Mark's Square, the hotel has a private water taxi entrance and completely renovated rooms with satellite television, in-room safe, mini bar, air conditioning, hair dryer and computer jacks. There are 17 rooms with a view of the small canal and the Bridge of Sighs. The rest of the rooms face a courtyard. Two rooms have a terrace, one of which is quite large, with a view of the rooftops of Venice. Concierge service is available. Included among the accommodations in the main building are three spacious and elegant suites: the Fenice Suite with two large bedrooms, a spacious living room and bath; the one-bedroom Doge Suite with separate living room; and the Rialto Suite, also a one bedroom one bathroom suite but with a private rooftop terrace perfect for an aperitivo in the afternoon. These accommodations are perfectly suited for families. The hotel makes every effort to assign JDB clients the rooms facing on the small canal.

NOTE: SAN MARCO is the closest stop when guests are taking the public vaporetto. There is a waterfront entrance at the hotel for private taxi boats.
