Hotel Flora offers a convenient place to stay in Venice, Italy. You’ll be only a few minutes (as in 2 minutes) walk from the water bus stop. With hand luggage, it’s easy, so pack light. Then down a narrow alley, you’ll find the door:
A basic room is all you need here. It’s comfortable and well appointed:
Bathroom was a little small but worked perfectly:
In the lounge on the ground floor, they serve a great breakfast, so go with that option when making your reservation:
And there’s also this tiny bar, where I had a nice drink and some time to sit and chat:
Very friendly and competent service here. They arranged for a water taxi to take me back to the airport and it was spot on time. This is a good value in Venice. Linger and enjoy.

Get the skip the line type of ticket to visit the Accademia where the statue is located. Otherwise, you’ll be waiting a long time in very long line. Worth it.
Of course, through the other windows you’re looking down at the plaza. It’s worth every penny. The bedroom looks like this:
Plenty of space, plenty of light. There’s a sort of kitchen on the wall, behind doors that open easily for meal prep. Check it out:
I used the little cooktop to make our breakfasts and snacks. The bathroom was large and well appointed:
We drank a few bottles of wine and met some people from Lithuania. Was a great time!
Here’s a view I took from the Uffizi Gallery during a tour there. A bit closer this time:
Personally, I like the next one the most. An artist working in watercolor was painting the bridge scene:
Was interesting to walk around the area, getting various views of the bridge and local neighborhood.
