Bed and Breakfast Ca' Centopietre - Venice

The manager is Carlo an he is excelent! He manages to speak every language and knows everithing about Venice, he is always trying to help. The hotel needs some renovations, my bed was a nightmare!! I was in pain the whole day.

From the very begining till the end the owner/manager made our stayng very accomodating and warm welcomed.Our expectations of the place were met.Altough the breakfast selection/variety could be improved a bit.Thanks again Mr.Carlo and see you again in our next visit to Venice.

The hotel is clean, convenient, inexpensive and welcoming. Instructions for finding it could be clearer, including the fact that there is no sign, just a brass plae by the door! I would certainly stay here again.

All is excellent except the host`s hospitality. His face always with little smile.

Close to some of the best galleries (Guggenheim, Accademia, Dogana) and churches (Carmine, Frari, Salute) in Venice. Near to Zattere with its restaurants and bars looking out over the water to Palladian churches (Redentore, Maria Maggiore, Zitelle) which are floodlit at night. Plenty of restaurants and bars close by. Nearby Campo San Barnaba and Campo Santa Margerita have markets.

I'ts a very nice place. Very close to Ponte de la Academia, and well communicated

Couldn't have asked for more, just what I was looking for. Fantastic place and location, and staff couldn't have been friendlier. Restuarant next door was fantatstic! Breakfast was great. Next time in Venice will stay again for sure.

A very nice place to stay, good value for money. The staff was welcoming, friendly, and most helpful.We will stay there again, without a doubt.

A little gem in a beautiful city. Carlo and his staff gave us excellent advise and service. Carlo even provided a wake up call and coffee prior to our early departure. very close to water taxi, and attractions. easy walk to San Marco. Europeans idea of directions are slightly different than North americans- so directions are confusing in Venice anyway- when they say go right around- it does not mean to the back of a building or street- it indicates the first right. once you try that- it works. A definite stay again- affordable and well located. Enjoy.

I spent 4 days in Ca' Centopietre and I have to say I will book here again next time in Venice. Hotel is small and comfortable and the owner/manager mr. Carlo is really inside his job: he knows how to prepare and serve breakfast and how to behave with guests. In the surroundings there are many restaurants and the room bar is very cheap: only 1.50 for a keen coke...you won't find a better price in venice!! Excellent, thank you mr. Carlo!

This was our first visit to Venice. Carlo was a wonderful host. He made our stay all the the more memorable and we left feeling we had made a friend.We will definitely stay there again!

Signor Carlo is an extremely welcoming hotelier--in the style of the freindly inn-keeper. He goes out of his way to make you feel welcome in his inn. This place reminds me of the lovely small family-run hotels I visited in Venice in the 1970s. I thought they were all gone! Venetian glass chandeliers, antiques, terrazzo floors. Yes, the room was small, but who cares? You sleep there! The location is excellent--a quiet corner in Dorsoduro, easy access to many parts of Venice. Very near the Accademia and the excellent Toletta bookstore. Free wi-fi from the salone or from your room. I suggested this hotel to other friends in town for the same conference and they were also delighted with the place.

Great location (once found!) Would certainly stay again. Carlo was extremely helpful.

The location of hotel is convenient; it is about 5 minutes' walk from the Accademia. But the room was very simple, and there was an unpleasant smell. The washroom was very small.

Astonishingly quiet. Non-touristy. Very convenient location - less than 10 minutes to Accademia, Zaterre, Guggenheim, etc. Excellent local services (restaurants, food/wine shops, Pharmacy, bank, book stores, etc.). Area used by locals - not tourists. Host is gracious and helpful. Great relief from overburdened St. Marks area. Do note that the property is exactly as mapped, but only a plaque and doorbell are obvious in that small cul de sac. All neighbors know where it is. "Dove Centropietre?" got me there immediately.

I really recomend it! It`s a nice place to stay. I I return to Venice, I`ll stay there again!

Lage ist toll zentral, Personal sehr freundlich, Frühstück für Italien reichhaltig

What a wonderful find! Excellent, central location. Great value for the price. Carlo is the quintessential host. As owner, he takes personal pride in his property and guests. Very engaging and helpful. If we return to Venice, we will definitely stay here again!

Hotel tres bien placé acceuil chaleureux à recommander

Un hotel eccellente per il rapporto qualità-prezzo, per la sua collocazione e la facilità di raggiungerlo. Bello lo spazio riservato alla colazione e la vista dalla finestra. E' stata una visita molto gradita.

There are differents kinds of pizzerias nearby to eat quickly at 2€ or more traditionals near the canal. good welcoming even if you don't speak italian.

Very warm welcome. if something didn't work everything was tryed to fix it. quite and calm hotel. of course on friday night some local drunk youngster may be louder than usual, but only if he or she finds the way to the nice hidden hotel behind accademia. and carlo running the hotel speaks fluent english, french and german. and of course italian, wich for italy is simply amazing. great little place

My wife and I stayed at this hotel in early January and were greeted by our charming host, Carlo. The hotel is located in an area of Venice which is still a local area, where children attend school and many Venetians live. The accommodation is elegant with a beautiful breakfast room. Breakfast is served by a very attentive Carlo and his assistant. Carlo has lived in Venice for over 30 years and offers a unique insight into Venice for the more discerning traveller due to his local knowledge. His customer service and interest in his clientele is exceptional. We would recommend this hotel to all travellers seeking a more boutique experience.

Nice place to stay, friendly owner and very clean property; we had a very quiet room, not any noise or whatever. time was 20-26 september 2008; no entertainment available; we did not need it, Venice is beautiful enough!

We had a wonderful stay at Ca Centopietre. The staff were very welcoming and helpful and the hotel had such charm and warmth. The whole experience was a delight! Thank you.

Excellent hotel d'un tres bon rapport qualite prix a deux pas du centre de venise ce qui permet de profiter de cette superbe ville de jour comme de nuit sans contreinte de bateaux. chambre tres sympa (10) digne de certain relais chateau en France et le presonnel est tres agreable (le concierge parle francais) et sait repondre a tous vos besoins. sejour inoubliable entre autre grace a l'hotel.

Excellent location, close to all places one would want to go. However,breakfast could be better. The outside bathroom was not much of a problem.

The room was exactly as expected and perfect for our stay. The hotel is very well located - we really enjoyed the nearby Campo Santa Margherita. It's away from the mayhem of San Marco and still close to everything. Pleasant staff and surroundings. Highly recommended.

Entrance is just an ordinary door down a side alley, no lights, bit hard to find. Fine once you find it.

THis was our first trip to venice and made sure we had a good map to find the inn. It is very close to the Academia waterbus stop so if you have a good detailed map you should be able to find - eventually! This is a lovely small hotel, run by lovely people. We stayed in the room with an external bathroom. This isnt a problem except because of the marble floors and walls it is very noisey leaving your room to get to the bathroom which is literally one step from the room. It did take some searching to find the door to this inn. There is a tiny gold sign just on the door, so dont expect flashing lights telling you where it is. You need to have a very detailed map and know the exact street number to be able to find it. But it is very nice and i would recommend for location, service and quality of the inn.

Great small hotel in good location. Had a lovely charm. Staff all very friendly and helpful.

Very nice workers, willing to help and answer questions. hotel hard to find and the street isn't so nice.. seems lonesome.

The very large picture on the wall of the bedroom completely overwhelmed the room, making it feel much smaller (and darker) than it was. Otherwise it was excellent. High points were the modern bathroom, the very helpful staff and the beautiful ceiling in the breakfast room - and I'm sure the terrace would be wonderful in summer!

The owner of the hotel is extremely kind and as helpful as he could be. The employees of the hotel definitely need some training. What I found to be really bad was the bathroom, it was so small and so badly "designed" that I could not even fit in the shower, every time I had to shower the whole thing flooded. Also there was mold all over the shower walls and curtain. I stayed there 4 nights and after the tiny bottle of shampoo and tiny soap I found there the day I arrived, none other was provided for the remainder of the stay.

This is not my first travel to Venice but Centopietre hotel is in a quarter that I did not saw before.Venice is not only piazza San Marco !

This hotel is perfect for anyone staying in venice. It is ideally located. The owner and other staff were all very helpful and i would definatley stay there again

Es un hotel que te ofrece una agradable acogida. Está bien situado, en una zona animada y rodeada de tiendas y sitios para comer, pero a la vez es tranquilo. Las habitaciones son grandes y cómodas. El desayuno es suficiente.El único problema que encontramos fueron los mosquitos que estaban por todas partes. Propio de la época de verano, te dificultan un poco el sueño.

This was our first stop in Italy. Finding the actual Hotel at first was difficult because Venice is a little confusing! Once we got there it was perfect. The location is very central to all main attractions. The hotel itself was very clean, the staff was very helpful and friendly. I would recommend this hotel to anyone!

Rooms were large and spacious and staff went out of the way to help us with getting to our next destination. Although we had read that the hotel was hard to find we simply followed the directions on the website. I'd advise people have the hotel number handy and staff would come meet you at the water bus stop. Almost everything is hard to find in Venice if you've never visited and many of the alleyways look the same!

Great place to stay.

Hotel was in a good location, although hard to find at first. Room was and bathroom was a little small, but very quiet and clean. Staff was very helpfull and friendly. Overall, enjoyed our stay very much.

Very nice hotel but a bit hard to find. There is on the outside no indication that there is a hotel. Just a door with the number. so do your home work in advance. The staff was very nice and helpfull.

This is a really charming hotel, only 6 bedrooms so this is more a B&B. The service offered is excellent (rooms and breakfast), and the hotel is very well situated is the Dorsoduro quarter (one of the best quarter for food, go out...), only 15 minutes by walk to reach the Piazza San Marco! The owner is really nice too, you can easily ask him some advices, restaurants... The only weak point is how to reach the hotel by night (Venise is very hard to find his way), once you know this is really easy of course! Only 2 min by walk from Accademia! (this is always right, right and right and you will see it). Our vacation was excellent, of course I recommend this hotel for everyone!

The owner was very helpful and made the stay very pleasant. He needs to provide better instructions to first time customers. After you know where it is, its is very conveniently located, but the first time is very hard.

Very friendly and welcome stuff. Not easy to find. Only a few minutes walk to the galleria accademia, even san marco, cafes, bars and restaurants.

Really nice hotel and stuff especially are nice. I can highly recommend to everyone!

Carlo at Ca' Centopietre was very welcoming and helpful. We were treated very graciously.

This is a small, well-maintained hotel tucked away on a little street in Dorsoduro. The decor is pleasingly bright, fresh and simple, some Venice hotels are all dark colours and heavy brocade which can be too much. The manager is a very pleasant and helpful person who will go out of his way to help you during your stay. He is not on site all the time but can easily be reached at the sister property nearby. A very nice hotel in my favourite part of Venice, I will definitely stay here again. And I agree with a previous reviewer, try the Enoteca ai Artisti on Fon. delle Toletta nearby - the food and wine are great.

The hotel is wonderful place to stay in Venice. It is one of the very few modern places in the small hotel category. The rooms, while not spacious, are reasonably large and the bathrooms are very nice. The rooms are tastefully decorated. The breakfast room is large, light and lovely. The breakfast spread was quite good. The web site photos are accurate depictions of the place. The location is terrific, very close to the Accademia Bridge but in a quiet (miniscule) square. The only negative is that the hotel is quite hard to find. It is accessed via a very narrow alley off a street on a side canal and none of the sales people in the stores on the adjacent streets knew where the place was. The maps on the hotel web site are a bit misleading about the details concerning exactly wherem it is. The instructions sent concerning bus or vaporetto travel to get to the neighborhood from the Tranchetto car park were very good but the instructions about the path from there to the hotel itself need upgrading (or alternatively perhaps a sign on the wall of one the adjacent streets as a bare minimum). The hotel manager was away when we arrived and the chamber maid who let us in had very little English (corresponding to our very little Italian) but we did manage to get our keys and drop off our luggage before setting off to see the city. I have not been able to confirm it but I believe we were overcharged by 10 Euros per room versus (we were two couples) our "guaranteed" Venere.com reservations.

Arriving late, we were very glad we called the hotel in advance. We never would have found it alone at night. Carlo was very accomodating and arranged for someone to collect us at the Academia bridge at a late hour. The rooms were clean, staff was helpful and friendly, and once you found the hotel, it was very convenient to a lot of sights on foot. The breakfast was filling and pletiful to start out a day of exploring.

Only difficulty was in finding the hotel, the directions are erroneous with respect to street names and wandering those narrow lanes with heavy suitcases was not fun - strongly suggest arriving during the early part of the day, to ensure assistance is available to find the place! However, the staff were quite helpful and very polite. Breakfast room was lovely, and the location was just fantastic, 10-15 minute walk from the San Marco piazza.

A charming little hotel in a convenient part of town. The service was excellent and the manager went out of his way to ensure we had everything we needed. I will be returning to Venice and will definitely be staying here again.

No flaws at all whatsoever. Helpful and service minded staff. This hotel will be something I'll return to. A tip: Don't miss the superb wine bar just around the corner. Love this part of Venice. It's just a bridge away from the over crowded San Marco-side.

Nice place near the Academia, very well situated. Beautiful dining room to have your breakfast, very stylish, but TOO HOT in summer (the air condition in the room was OK). The manager is very kind.

Jederzeit und gerne wieder. Sehr verkehrsgünstig für die Anreise: Bootshaltestellen ca 5 Minuten zu Fuß mit Koffer; über Akademiebrücke über den Canale Grande und ca 15 Geh-Minuten bis San Marco. Sehr ruhige Lage im Akademie-Viertel mit wesentlich weniger Nepp als in San Marco und doch typisch Venedig.
