Many hotels in Venice do not have a door or a private jetty along a canal accessible to water taxi. Other hotels are not located by a canal. Should this be the case of your hotel, your driver will drop you off at the closest possible landing stage. The taxi driver will unload the luggage from the boat, yet he cant’t take you to the hotel. This is due to the fact that the driver can’t leave his boat unattended. Should you need a porter we’ll arrange this service for you. You will then pay the porter directly.
-
An additional charge is applied for transfers to and from hotels located along the inner canals of the city, or on the islands away from the city center
