    The hotel location page suggests that the water taxis (which are very expensive, by the way) will drop you at the hotel itself: palazzobarbarigo.com/luxury_... This page will be helpful: europeforvisitors.com/venice... I don't think there will be much difference between 'companies', to be honest, but as I've never used a water-taxi (way outside my budget) I cannot be certain.

    Whenever my wife and I travel to Venice we use the services of Venice Guide and Boat. veniceguideandboat.it/transf... You can pre-book a water taxi from the airport directly to your hotel and you can pay in advance of your journey. We've used them many times and they are thoroughly reliable and trustworthy.

    There is now a fixed price by water taxi from the airport to hotels in Venice: 100 € for 1-5 persons. For details see my tip on Venice Transportation.

    I travelled by water taxi from Marco Polo airport to our hotel near the Scalzi Bridge, and used motoscafivenezia, who were very helpful with our booking and pre-trip planning. www.motoscafivenezia.it For more information, please check my tip.
