According
to the description made by the Guild of Ss. Apostoli, written in
1713 and resulting from e decision of the Senate on 29th August
1
711,
in calle dell'Acquavita, close to the Jesuit Quarter, there was
a 'bottega d' acquavita' (a place where alcoholic spirits were sold)
managed by Elia Giannazzi, who paid rent to Monsignor Marco Gradenigo,
Patriarch
of
Aquileia. (from 'Venetian Curiosities'). The Locanda Acquavita offers
the opportunity to feel the spirit of Venice with accommodation
in a recently restored antique Venetian house. The Locanda is only
five minutes from the Rialto Bridge in the centre of the city, but
at the same time, is located on a quiet street away from the busiest
tourist thoroughfares. On leaning out from the windows of the well-appointed
and comfortable rooms, the scent of the flowers from the gardens
nearby becomes apparent, followed by the sound of the footsteps
of the few Venitians escaping the tourist hordes. Alternatively,
take in the view along the canal running along one side of the building,
leading to the lagoon and her picturesque islands. The Locanda Aquavita
is a welcoming place, in the heart of enchanting Venice. .
