Favorite Thing: In Venetian dialect, squero means workshop. The Squero di San Trovaso is a boat- builder shop, more exactly a gondola repair and construction yard. There are not many left in Venice, and the most famous (and most picturesque) is the Squero di San Trovaso. Directions: Just off the Zattere in Dorsoduro - turn off Zattere at Ponte Lungo, along Fondamenta Nani.
Fondest Memory: The alpine-style workshop, window sills clad with geraniums is a throw back to the first occupants who came from the mountainous Cadore region north of Venice. It is not open to the public, but we passed the squero numerous times and saw gondolas being worked on outside all the time across the Rio di San Trovaso canal.

I have been staying in Venice every year for the past twelve years. San Trovaso is the best eating house with wonderfully fresh food, pleasantly charming service,and superbly reasonabl;e prices.I recommend everyone who's going to Venice to eat here. | ettenaj Sun Nov 28, 2004 23:45 UTC

Venice is a great place--it would be a shame if it can't be saved from sinking into the sea. | JetlagCity Sat Jul 31, 2004 23:38 UTC
Wonderful page on this very special place! The apartment you rented sounds perfect! |
