The Castello neighbourhood is close to San Marco Square, one of the most extended ones in Venice, representing the tail of the fish that is Venice's map. This neighbourhood, which is the home of our guest house, is also full of restaurants and services. As well as some iconic points of interest such as; San Zaccaria church, Campo della Bragora, The Arsenale or La Biennale di Venezia.

One of the most ancient of Venice, with many places as the city in the past time. There is also the Arsenale monument where the Serenissima Republic made the wood ships of its fleet.

The most popular neighborhood in Venice. Nice walk among old houses, where Venetians still live.
