Hotel San Cassiano Ca'Favretto - Venecia

We stayed here on our honeymoon, in one of the rooms on the second floor overlooking the Grand Canal. It was perfect! We loved the antique furniture, and it was incredible opening the shutters and the french windows onto the Grand Canal. There was a tiny balcony you can't stand on but can sit on and read a book, if you like. We felt like we were living in a palace - for good reason! The breakfast buffet is very good and the coffee was excellent! Each morning we would arrive early to snag one of the tables on the terrace overlooking the canal. What a perfect start to the day. The concierge was very helpful in making our dinner reservations each evening, spoke perfect English, and tolerated our poor Italian. We had a perfect stay and will gladly stay here again next time we're in Venice.

charming. old and beautiful. good location to go to any part of venice.

very accomodating to a family with children. Beautiful...right on the grand canal...a hidden gem.

Everything was wonderful and the hotel made our Venice trip an extremely enjoyabe one. Very friendly staff and great service. A very nice but homey feel. I wouldn't stay anywhere else in Venice.

Hotel was beautiful and the breakfast was very good.

The Hotel was in a very convenient location - close enough to everything yet far enough away from the crazy busy touristy areas. The hotel staff was very helpful and friendly. We got to the hotel about 2 hours before check-in. They stored our luggage for us and when we returned to the hotel, told us that they had had to upgrade us to a better room. We did not get to see the room we were supposed to have had, but our room was beautiful - very comfortable and spacious. The breakfast was wonderful - full breakfast. On the day we checked out, they let us store our luggage again for the entire day. I would highly recommend this hotel and already did!!! My sister and brother-in-law will be staying there in September.

We totaly enjoyed our stay. The service and breakfast was very good. You can walk everywhere once you get there. One tip...take a water taxi to the hotel once you get to Venice. The water bus is good but there are lots of steps to climb with luggage if you don't get delivered to the front door. Other than that I would go back to Hotel San Cassiano Ca'Favretto for sure!!

This Hotel is very difficult to find on foot. Although walking through several small corridors (Mazes) and asking several people who speak a little English (My fault I know, I should have studied my Italian before We arrived). We finally arrived after 20 minutes walking from the Rialto bridge. (Its only 5 minutes away) But the view from the terrace was breath taking and we had three kids ages 5, 6 and 12 and we had a Quad-room four single beds :-)) We loved this room and a beautiful painting on the ceiling. Although, our room overlooked the courtyard and some rooms over looked the Grand canal. But we didn't complain we found out that this Hotel didn't have an elevator :-(( and our room was on the third floor. We laughed all the way to the top as we were out of breath as well. This Hotel is approximately 600 years old according to the staff. Oh! We had a bathroom (Very clean) inside our room. Many Hotel of this era located in Italy (Europe) you have to share bathrooms. The breakfast was included in the price of this room. And yes. the breakfast was very tasty no complaints. This is an ideal Hotel to stay while in Venice. I would recommend this Hotel to others and explain the walking directions better. If you have extra euros to spend you can take a water taxi from the airport directly to the Hotel 110 euros. So, overall I would give this Hotel 3.5 stars.

Very pleased with this hotel! The first room assigned was a multi-room suit,the air condition in the master room was not cooling as it should. Once staff noticed they immediately acted to move us to the only other 4 person room available (one large room) Although suite was not as nice as the 1st (seperate room for adults from kids on the 1st floor vs 1 large room on the 3rd room with steep steps)it was still cool when we arrived each afternoon. Breakfast was very nice each morning with eggs and meat....a real plus. Great central location on the Grand Canal. Definitely recommend.

Great spot on the grand canal and close to Rialto bridge. Get to breakfast early though if you want one of the 2 tables out on the terrace.

Outstanding smaller hotel in a great location on the Grand Canal. Very quiet and comfortable and within convenient walking distance to major attractions. Would suggest you call ahead for directions to the hotel from train or airport. The hotel staff is very helpful. Highly recommended.

We booked the "Family Room" at this hotel. This hotel exceeded out expectations. We expected a smaller room with a very small bathroom and both were quite large for europeon standards. The Hotel was within walking distance from the S. Sta water taxi station. We were able to walk to the Rialto Bridge within 10 mins. There were many restaurants and Gelato stores near by. We would definitely recommend this hotel for anyone traveling with children. The only draw back was there was no elevator in the hotel. However, the family room we had was located on the second floor. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Room was dingy and the air conditioner didn't work properly - everything was damp all the time. Not worth the price we paid.

I shared a triple room with 3 friends.As others have commented, the hotel is a little difficult to find at first. If you have a lot of luggage it can be tough getting off the vaporetto and lugging it over 3 bridges (pedestrian bridges are made of steps, not a platform). We ended up springing for a watertaxi on the return to the train station. much more convenient, but expensive. in every other way the hotel is wonderful. there is a great terrace on the grand canal and another in the breakfast room. My dad would be impressed with the included breakfast and so will you. This is a lovely place to stay, and be sure to eat at the restaurant around the corner Antica Giardenetta is the best we found in all Venice.

Hotel Ca'Favretto was lovely. We had a room overlooking the Grande Canal which could not have been nicer. Staff was very friendly and the bathroom was large and clean. Breakfast was wonderful. Only comment-don't take the free water taxi to Murano. It will take you to the Marco Polo glass works. Rip off.

This is a great hotel. The staff was very helpful in giving directions and places to eat. The room is small but very clean, my only complaint is that the bed is very hard. Would stay here again. The only thing this hotel needs is a elevator.

The hotel was a very nice hotel and the breakfast was outstanding. It is difficult to find your way to the hotel from the train station. Make sure you get directions to the hotel and you will be fine. Friendly, multilingual staff and a very nice large room with very large bathroom. We loved our stay there.

Make sure you call when you get to Venice to know exactly how to find the hotel. But once you find it, the quiet location was perfect! Away from the crowds.

the location of the hotel is within 5 minutes walk of the rialto bridge and overlooks the grand canal. It is decorated in a traditional venitian style and is of good order throughout. Our room was both large and spectacular although we did not have the view of the canal.

Hotel was in a great location, and the room was stunning. A couple of 100 year old fresco on the ceiling of our room capped it off. The staff were all extremely friendly, especially the man serving the bar down stairs. Made for such a pleasant stay. And what needs to be said about Venice...

Our room on the 3rd floor was so charming and romantic I didn't want to leave. We were traveling with my college age children and they gave them an adjoining room that opened on to a lovely little balcony that joined our 2 rooms. Service was excellent. They recommended good restaurants and attempted to make reservations for us as well.

The reviews of this hotel certainly reflect accurately what you will get and it is all for a reasonable price. Quiet - only a small number of rooms, helpful efficient staff, rooms are small but clean. The location is excellent: 45 mins from the airport, right on the Grand Canal (if you don't get a room with a canal view the small decking provides a nice canalside view for drinks), it is a very short walking distance to the popular Rialto Bridge area where there is a market, restaurants, gondoliers and narrow streets with shops. The water bus stop is similarly close for the 20 minute trip to St Mark's Square and a 30 minute trip to the Lido beach. Hotel drinks are very reasonably priced - far cheaper than restaurants. Breakfast has plenty of choice. A great choice, all other guests that we spoke with were also happy with their choice.

Nice, clean hotel with very friendly staff. Good location - 10 minute stroll from the Rialto bridge and within walking distance of numerous restaurants. Good choice of breakfasts, and if you're up early enough you can get a table on the balcony, overlooking the grand canal. Room included air conditioning - a necessity for Venice in the summer.

We arrived at the the hotel San Cassiano Ca'Favretto by private water taxi from Marco Polo airport which was very exciting. The rooms were clean, spacious and well appointed with excellent air conditioning. the reception and bar staff were very helpful and polite offering touristy information without us even asking for it! Breakfast is served in a lovely sundrenched room overlooking the canal and the balcony downstairs overlooking the canal was great for drinks int he afternoon. The Rialto bridge was a short walk away and we were close enough for it to be convenient, but far enough away for our sleep to be blissfully quiet and not interrupted by any church bells one down side is that we were on the 3rd floor of a building with very high ceilings and there was no lift.

Excellent location. Very Clean!

This was a great hotel. It's right off the grand canal and close to a local Vaperetto stop. It's a little hard to find, but that's just Venice, and the hotel has done a good job of posting signs on nearby local streets. The staff was friendly and helpful and the rooms were wonderful. I would definately recommend this hotel for a stay in Venice, it's only about a 10 minute walk from the Rialto bridge.

You need a map to first find this place from the water taxi stop, but once you get there you'll enjoy the authentic spacious rooms, overlooking the canal. The staff is always very friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet was one of the best we had. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a romantic get away.

My wife and I chose this hotel because of it's proximity to all the main sites that we wished to visit during our stay. The Rialto Bridge was less than 5 minutes away and St Marks Square only another 5 minutes after that. The beauty of this hotels location is that you are away from the main area's of Venice and able to explore and find delightful shops and restaurants in the narrow streets, but you never feel as if you are lost as you only have to head for the Grand Canal to get your bearings. the staff at the hotel were really friendly and helpful all the time. we were there during Carneval and all the staff were dressed in period costume for the duration of it. I would definately recommend this hotel to anybody visiting Venice.

The hotel was right next to the metro and an easy walk to the Duoma and shopping areas. Though not in the modern area of Milan the hotel had all the modern admenities and the included breakfast buffet was fantastic. Flat pillows was my only complaint.

amazing view overlooking grand canal. nice rooms.

Lovely old hotel with elaborate decor. Friendly staff, I would recomend this hotel to my friends. It would not be a good choice for someone who could not climb steep stairs. There is no elevator and all rooms and breakfast are on an upper level. The morning meal was very nice with plenty of variety. Do make sure you have directions from the train station before arriving. It is a short walk but a little confusing at first.

The Hotel San Cassiano Ca'Favretto needs definetely some great updating. Me and my partner have just returned from Venice and stayed in this hotel for 3 nights. We booked the Superior room and were expecting it to look superior. But unfortunately our room was nothing like superior. The floor was about 15 degrees falling to the side and so the TV looked like falling from the fridge whenever we looked at it. The bathroom door did not shut completely for the same reason. When my partner openned the bedside table, there were some staines in it as well as the side of it was celetaped. The mirror on the wall had nice golden frame but was also very old and full of stains. The size of a room was just standard, so I do not know why they called it superior. The view we had was looking to someone else's house accross the narrow canal. Also the room was cold as apparantly the heating is not turned on in Venice untill the 1st November. But we found the way to worm ourselve up. The breakfast was reasonable, not too big in a choice but tasty enough to keep us going for some time. The staff was alos reasonably friendly. I would say if I do not look at the room itself the holiday was great overall but I would not go to stay in San Cassiano again at all!

Good hotel with a touch of a Grand Hotel. Bathrooms have a normal size (even in economy rooms), a little bit off the crowded places 5-7 min from the Rialto Bridge/Market. Not close from any water bus station, free water taxi shuttles to Murano island (glass blowers), 90Euro flat fee for water taxi service to the airport from the hotel. Very competent and friendly staff.

Everything about this hotel was great. It's location is excellent: it is a 5-10 minute walk from the Rialto bridge, and therefore 15-20 mins from St Mark's Square. This is a good walking distance but keeps you away from the crowds. It is a 10 min walk from the station and less than 5 mins from a vaporetto stop, so it is easy to get around. It is on a very quiet narrow street with its own beautiful courtyard. The entrance is surprisingly grand. Our room - we paid a little extra for a 'superior' room - was extremely spacious, with excellenty decord and bathroom. The breakfast room was lovely, providing the opportunity to look out over the grand canal as you ate. Service was polite and helpful at all times.

Beautiful, old world hotel right on the Grand Canal. Gorgeous and spacious bedroom. Breakfast was a welcome surprise--full American-style breakfast. All you can eat. Hotel staff was kind and gracious. Location is hard to find, but makes for easy walking and exploring of Venice without huge crowds.

This hotel is a great hotel for the money. The people are very friendly and helpful...the rooms were large and clean.

We enjoyed our stay. It was a great location right on the Grand Canal. We enjoyed sitting on the little porch watching the boats go by. We stayed at the hotel twice on either side of our cruise and had two separate rooms. We paid for a superior room-one was superior and the other was average. The breakfast made this hotel a great hotel for the price. From the hotel you can be at the Realto Bridge in less than 10 minutes.

great location, personnel very helpful, rooms are small but cute

The hotel clerks and accommodations overall was above and beyond. They are to be applauded for the tidy rooms and environment. However, the old palace has no elevator and while I am not in a wheelchair, I have a few issues. Had I stayed in the hotel longer, I would have needed a visit to a Chiropractor. Challenges to say the least.
