Hotel Palazzo Bembo is located in a 15th century palace in the centre of Venice, near the Rialto bridge and is fully air conditioned. Its location allows quick and easy access to Venice's public transportation system and major sights of interest. The palace was originally build for the Bembo who were among the ancient noble families of the Venetian aristocracy. They sought refuge in the lagoon at the time of the barbarian invasions, fleeing from Bologna. Celebrated throughout the centuries, the family boasts saints, theologians, and military heroes.
