Locanda Montin – a restaurant, hotel and bar founded in 1800 – is very dear to Venetians and attentive tourists alike.

In the words of John Ruskin, who in his work “Stones of Venice” described many edifices in Venice, the Locanda Montin can be truly called a “stone” that sits on the bank of a canal in the sestiere of Dorsoduro.

The Locanda was a popular haunt of poets, painters and artists in the ‘60s and ‘70s and many major twentieth-century figures.
In fact, its guests included the painter Modigliani, the poet Gabriele D’Annunzio, the writer Ezra Pound and his beautiful companion Olga Rudge, the famous violinist to whom the Indian poet Sing dedicated an anthology of poems.

Today, major political figures, film stars and musicians regularly stay here.
