Pensione Calcina

Venetians who live in the Dorsoduro like to take an evening walk on the Zaterre, this long bank along the large Giudecca canal. It is, at the end of the day, the last part of the city exposed to the sun's rays. A great place to take a spritz, to have dinner, or to go all the way from Maritim Station to the Dogana di Mare... Not far from the Chiesa dei Gesuati, your steps will lead you in front of the nice Pensione Calcina where John Ruskin, British art critic and true Venice lover, stayed from february to may 1877.
