Beautiful frescos and ambience. Step back in time. Opened in 1720. If it was good enough for Casanova, Lord Byron, Proust and Rousseau, its good enough for me!

Piazza San Marco, facing the Basilica, it is on the right hand side about half way along;

Lovely for a walk - especially in spring. Littered with cafes and restaurants, you can sit for a drink or just soak up the sun.

Take a book or munch on a Gianduiotto di passeggio from the Da Nico gelateria in the summer.

Wistful in winter: take a midnight walk in the freezing cold and take in the sound of the Giudecca Canal.

Go to the water bus (vaporetto) stop Zattere, or walk up from the Accademia stop; www.actv.it/english/home.php

A cafe/bar with wonderful snacks and coffee at very reasonable prices - 2 cappucinos and 2 krafens (like doughnuts) at half the price of 2 cappucinos near St Marks. We heard Italians coming out and agreeing that the coffee was excellent - a real complement.

On Campo San Stefano, near Accademia bridge and Vaporetto stop.
