The Venetian Ghetto has a new hotel and restaurant for visitors who keep kosher:

• The kosher boutique hotel Giardino del Ghetto has 14 double rooms, 2 singles, and 2 triples with free Wi-Fi in the rooms, a Shabbat elevator, and a Mikveh on the premises. A kosher breakfast is served daily, and half- or full-board rates are available.

• The glatt kosher Restaurant Le Balthazar offers Venetian, Italian, and Jewish specialties. A garden is open in the warmer months, and Shabbat meals are served year-round.

The hotel and restaurant are located on the Campo di Ghetto Nuovo, which is in the heart of the Ghetto. (See our "Venetian Ghetto" article for more information on this historic area of Venice's Cannaregio district.)
