Savoia & Jolanda is the San Marco postcard, and the hardest morning on our list. It's on the Riva degli Schiavoni, about 2.0 miles on foot from Marittima by our routing, roughly 43 minutes across the city — no one walks that with suitcases.
There's no road, and Best Western prints no transfer details, so you'll book a water taxi or take the vaporetto toward Piazzale Roma.
Best Western lists 45 rooms, "each unique in size and character", a restaurant cooking Venetian and Mediterranean dishes, a bar and a lift — and it says nothing about breakfast terms.
Book it for the waterfront night, and price the boat to the ship before you commit.
Book it if
- You want a lagoon view by San Marco
- You'll book a water taxi to the ship
- You want a restaurant on the waterfront
Look elsewhere if
- You want an easy morning to the ship.
- You're bringing a car.
- You need breakfast confirmed in the rate.
