Oltre il Giardino is located in the heart of Venice, just a stone's throw from the Church of the Frari and the Scuola Grande di S. Rocco. The hotel is positioned in a quiet and historical area of the city where by foot one may easily reach principal areas of interest in Venice. The Sestiere of San Polo receives its namesake from Campo San Polo, the second largest campo after Piazza San Marco and the geographic center of the island. Strolling through the alleys and campos of the historic center, one arrives in a few minutes time at the Scuola Grande San Giovanni Evangelista, the Rialto Bridge and its Fruit and Fish Market, the Accademia Galleries, and crossing the Grand Canal, Palazzo Grassi.
