Porta da Mar
your gateway to the art, beauty, and history of Venice

ABOUT US


Porta da Mar is ideally located on Riva San Biasio, the scenic promenade that stretches along the Basin from St. Mark’s Square to the Giardini, home of the world-renowned Biennale of Art and Architecture.


From the windows of our Junior Suites and the elegant hall balcony, guests can enjoy a splendid panorama spanning from St. Mark’s Square to the Island of San Giorgio and across to the Lido of Venice.


The property is nestled in the heart of Castello, one of Venice’s most authentic and vibrant districts, where picturesque calli and campi invite you to wander through centuries of history while remaining just steps away from the city’s most celebrated landmarks.


The name Porta da Mar pays homage to the water entrance of the Venice Arsenal, the historic complex of shipyards and naval workshops that once served as the beating heart of the Venetian Republic’s maritime power.

What our customer are saying about us

Location fantastic. View from room #2 was amazing. So nice to smell the bread from Restaurant downstairs in the morning.

As always we enjoyed our stay in Porta da mar. We like the high quality large room with its beautiful lamps and view towards San Giorgio and San Marco. We appreciate the fine bathroom, the quiet place, its neighborhood with many places to eat and enjoy a drink, as well as the close stop for the Alilaguna line from and to the airport.

Siamo stati per visitare la biennale d'arte ed è molto comoda, inoltre è adiacente ad una via piena di locali dove si può mangiare bene, lo staff è gentilissimo. Torneremo sicuramente!
