Hotel San Cassiano - Ca' Favretto - Venice

Very nice hotel with generally very good, efficient and friendly staff. A stand out was the excellent breakfast and very friendly dining room staff. The room was spacious, well equipped and well maintained on a daily basis. The one criticism I would have was the walls and ceilings of the room I was in were a bit thin so you could hear fellow guests a little too easily from time to time but overall this was a minor problem. Also this was a first floor room and whilst not overlooking the Grand Canal, it did overlook a small side canal which tended to be used early morning as an access/service point by runabout/dinghys with outboard motors so sleeping in is tricky if you're a light sleeper. Getting to the hotel from San Stae Vaporetto stop is not the easiest and involves a few twists and turns down small alleys and over two bridges, so best to arrive during the day, and preferably with not too much luggage. Overall though the hotel was very nice, well priced (during winter at least) and has a nice elegant but relaxed ambiance. Would I go back ? I suspect I'd like to try another part of the city to experience staying in one of the other districts but if it's your first visit to Venice , then this is a great way to start given its relatively central location and ease of travel by either vaporetto or on foot to other parts of Venice.

I have had many holidays in Venice and Hotel San Cassiano was the best accomodation I have ever had there. Well placed, few tourists, restaurants a walk away, helpful staff and right on the grand canal. Lovely.

First time in Venice, so no other hotel to compare it to, but we had a most enjoyable stay at Hotel San Cassiano - the room was truly terrific and the service at the hotel was extremely helpful and went out of their way to make our stay wonderful. The whole experience exceeded our expectations. I will recommend this hotel to friends and would not consider staying anywhere else when we return to Venezia!

Hotel Cassiano - Ca'Favretto was an excellent place to stay while visiting Venice. The rooms are not very spacious, but are well-maintained, comfortable and tastefully decorated. As advertised, it is located on the Grand Canal and is just a short walk (or water taxi/bus ride)to major attractions. The staff is well-trained, courteous and responsive. The hotel has a small deck right on the canal - a great place to sit, watch the boats go by and to meet and mingle with other guests.

A great place to stay and see Venice, good position on the Grand canal. The hotel is very good although the breakfast room is small, that is long and narrow and can get very busy, everything else was perfect,very helpful front desk/reception,highly recommend it

Loved our room overlooking the grand canal... lots of stairs to climb and hard to find initially.

TRUE authentic Venice experience. A 14th century converted piazza and villa....so beautiful and historic right on the Grand Canal. Air conditioning worked great, the rooms are beautiful. They even had a room that could easily accommodate two adults and two children. HARD to find in Europe.

A beautiful historic hotel right on the Grand Canal....so amazing. If you want the true Venice experience, this hotel is it!! The rooms were small but to be expected from a converted 14th century piazza....but the rooms were still VERY good.

Lovely and very convenient location. The front desk was very helpful.

The hotel is on the Grand Canal and dates back to the 14th century. They have attempted to keep the historical flavor of the hotel. No elevators, but very nice breakfast. Great location and friendly staff. We had a very small room the first night but moved to a nice room the second.

We spent three lovely nights at the hotel in a triple room, located in the top floor above the entrance of Ca'Favretto. Our Triple was spacious enough for 3 people and decorated in classical Venetian Style which made you feel really special. Though the stairs were very steep to reach our floor we had no problems getting up(but for older people it might be a bit too tiresome). What we particularly loved was sitting outdoors on the small terrace right at the Canal Grande, enjoy our drinks from the Bar and watch the boats go by - it was absolutely heavenly!

Staying at this hotel was an all round favourable experience. The staff were friendly and helpful, with a good sense of humour, the location of the hotel was perfect, the breakfast was superb.I would recommend it without hesitation.

Really ****, staff very friendly and competent. Beautiful house. Only the way from Vaporetto (bridges) is a little bit difficult.

Very nice hotel.

Perfect location for sightseeing and good breakfast. A great option.

The special character of this hotel is that it sets out to create the sense of a 'period residence', with plenty of antiques, art-works and reproduction furniture and fittings. It was the home of a nineteenth-century artist, Giacomo Favretto, and still displays some of his work. It's one of the prettiest small palaces on the Grand Canal. In other respects, its a very decent hotel too, but it's the character of the place that separates it from the crowd. Our room was not large, but attractively furnished and had a balcony with side-view onto the grand canal. Breakfast was nice enough (continental and cooked selection). Only warning to give is that there's no lift, and stairs to second floor are steeper than usual, so request a first-floor room if this is a difficulty for you.

I've stayed in this hotel many times and always value the professionalism of the staff and the great view across to the Ca d'Oro - this has to be one of the best views in Venice. On one of my days on this stay, the hotel seemed busier with a group of visitors who were less in tune with the spirit of the place, but this is difficult for the hotel to control. It isn't the cheapest hotel in Venice but there has been an adjustment in rates recently, and I think the value for money is good, given that hotels here are more expensive than elsewhere in Italy.

This hotel as promised was on the Grand Canal and our room was as promised. It was clean but amenities in room nearly as old as the hotel. I would not sit on the couch. We paid over $300 a night. I expected more but perhaps any room on the canal would be this much but I'd pick a different place to pay it.

Great hotel, the rooms are small but very nice and clean - very warm welcome !! GREAT !

My daoughter and I stayed five nights in the Hotel San Cassiano.We have had a good time here, the only thing I did not expected was the room was so small. They said the standerd room in Venezia is normally like this. But next time I would like to be in a little bit larger room. Anyway, we enjoyed Venezia.

A quiet and very comfortable hotel, with excellent dining (breakfast) facilities and courteous staff. Despite the fairly large number of guests, it managed to maintain a pleasingly relaxed and quiet ambience throughout my stay there.

Four star hotel....One star experience. Very disappoined with this property. There are many hotels in Venice....I would suggest staying somewhere else. We were there for a special anniversary and had a terrible experience. The noise (inside) was so loud we could not enjoy our visit. I went to get a cup of coffee after the terrible night sleep and the lady stopped me at the door to my room and said I could not take the coffee cups into the room. She made me give her the cup (full of coffee) back. After that I complained at the front desk. They were not very concerned with my complaints but did suggest that we could change rooms. After all our stuff was unpacked, and since we had an early flight the next morning....this would have been added inconvenience to an already disappointing visit. Save yourself the grief -- stay somewhere else!

All in all, we were very lucky - the room was better, more comfortable and more beautiful than we dreamed of.

Difficile de parler de l'hôtel, car nous avons été relogés dans un autre hôtel, suite à une climatisation qui ne fonctionnait pas. Par contre, l'accueil et le service ont été irréprochables : pour palier au pb de clim, nous avons été surclassés dans un 4* voisin (foscari), avec taxi payé et verre offert, le tout avec le sourire. Merci.

The hotel is a small very nice 4* hotel with some double bed rooms with Grand Canal view. All single rooms and some double bed rooms do not have Grand Canal view. A Grand Canal view doublebed room booking was EUR 100 more expensive then without the exciting view. My wife and me were there for 1 night and had a big airconditioned room on the 1. floor, new renovated with nice interior and romantic view on the Grand Canal. Bathroom is very small but clean. Breakfast is good with good variety. In the airconditioned breakfast area inside it is like in every other hotel - nothing special - but having breakfast on the balkony with Grand Canal view (only 2 tables, each for 2 persons) is exciting. Arrival with luggage from car parking to the hotel we had to pay for a water taxi 70 EUR to the hotel (booking in the car parking) and 50 EUR back from the hotel (booking at the hotel reception) to the car parking.

Nice well kept property on Canal Grande just a few bridges off Rialto. 'Land side' entrance at the end of many narrow alleyways, arrival by water taxi recommended. We had a nice triple with windows on Canal Grande. Good A/C very useful in the July heat. Very small bathroom.

Some of the front desk staff were disticntly unfriendly and not helpful.

This is a fabulous hotel. Located near the Rialto bridge, our room looked out over the grand canal, but was still quiet at night. The room was large by european standards. The staff was very helpful, especially the night manager who woke up at 4 am to make sure we got our water taxi on time. The breakfast room was airy and had an excellent view. There is an adorable veranda to enjoy an after dinner drink. I have stayed in Venice four times and this was by far the most enjoyable. I would definitely stay here again.

The was an excellent hotel. Good location, with excellent helpful staff and good value for money. Very nice breakfast to start your day! Very good spot to explore Venice from

Nice place to stay. Close to the morning market and walking distance to the major attractions. Nice breakfast room on the Grand canal.... Not easy to find !

Very beautyfull hotel. but facilities is old.

The hosts are very hospitable people. The property was very quiet and very well catered for. We had a wonderful visit here, and would fully recommend a stay at this house.

Lovely hotel, though a little difficult to find. Nice location right on the canal. Close walking distance to St. Marks. Very nice breakfast.

The hotel was in a beautiful position and my room,although small, was adequate and overlooked a small side canal which added to the atmosphere.

A neat value for money hotel. Note: no elevator.

This hotel is just magnificent, specially if you get the room overseeing the main canal!! The rooms are spacious, decoration is great and the location is good as you can either walk 10mins to the Rialto bridge or take the vaporetto line 1 to other places in Venice. Breakfast (hot) was very good.

My family and I have had short stays at this hotel three years in a row. We like the location. We have stayed in rooms overlooking the grand canal and found it intriguing watching all the traffic going along it. The hotel is located in an old historical building and I feel this gives guests a sense of Venice too. Service is excellent. Hotel breakfasts are excellent too.

Ha satisfecho nuestras expectativas por completo. Bonito, confortable y bien situado.

Breakfastnya nikmat banget..Sambil makan kita bisa menikmati suasana grand canal...

Very comfortable and nice hotel. Fantastic old fashioned 4-bed family room overlooking Canal Grande. Friendly staff both in reception and at breakfast.Wide variety of good quality foods for breakfast. Located a bit out of the most intense tourist track, but still in short walking distance of everything. This hotel saved our day during a very, very hot and humid summer trip!

This hotel is in the most amazing old building overlooking the Grand Canal. Although altered several times since first built, it retains the essential character of its origins whilst providing excellent accomodation. Inevitably, in a building of this age, there is no elevator and the stairs are steep. The staff, however, are magnificent and whisked heavy cases to our room without a problem. The staff at reception were also extremely helpful in advising on all aspects of where to go, what to see and, most importantly, precise and accurate details of how to get there. The breakfasrt room with its balcony overlooking the canal provides a stunning outlook to start the day while a digestif or nightcap at one of the intimate tables on the private landing stage ensure a similarly unique end. We had a most enjoyable stay.

Highly recommended!!! Wonderful hotel with wonderful staff, in a great location: close to the Rialto bridge but far enough away to be quiet at night. On the Grand Canal, some rooms with canal views. Close to Vaparetto. Plenty of places to eat, at varying prices, within a short walk. Delicious full-service breakfast in a sunny room overlooking the Grand Canal. The air-conditioning did not work in one of our rooms - and we were upgraded to a nicer, larger room with a canal view; big thanks to Giovanni and his colleagues. Throughout our stay the entire staff was helpful and friendly, as if we were friends not just clients. A friend who lives in Venice said that from now on he will recommend all his out-of-town guests stay at San Cassiano. It is that good.

The room was lovely and the window view of the Grand Canal made everything that bit more special. We also enjoyed sitting on the dining room's Balcony for breakfast on a couple of days to enjoy the view. The location and quality of the hotel helped make the weekend a most memorable and romantic one - highly recommended.

I carefully reviewed the comments from prior guests before booking. I decided to go for San Cassiano Ca' Favrett based on the uniformly positive feedback. I wasn't disappointed! Our room was wonderful! Our windows opened up directly onto the Grand Canal. Not a view you tire of. The room was spacious, painted Georgian red, nice local paintings, a flat screen TV, a minibar which was very reasonable (EURO 2.50 for a small Heineken) and a clean, functional bathroom. It was a bit noisy in the morning as we were 2 doors up from the kitchen but that's a minor quibble. Breakfast was as good as other reviewers had said. Good variety and plentiful. Not much hot stuff - token bacon, sausage, and scrambled egg, but the continental stuff was fine and self-service as much as you want. The breakfast room does tend to fill up ca. 9:30 but nothing too bad. There's 2 tables on the balcony overlooking the Grand Canal - definitely a memorable breakfast. Quite what the large red plastic penguin is doing on the balcony, I don't know. It was the only incongrous element of our stay. On our last day, we had an hour before we needed to go to the Airport, so we had a drink on the landing stage. Again, very nice. For general Venice advice, getting the 1, 2, or 3 day Vaperetto ticket is definitely worth it. Once you leave Piazzala Roma (sp?), there are no roads, so you'll be working or boating everywhere. It's a reasonably large town, and we walked, and walked, and walked, and took lots of boats too. We didn't try the Water Taxis (expensive) or the Gondolas (raining most of the time) but the Vaparettos (Water Buses) are frequent, good value, and go everywhere. To get to and from the Airport, just get the #5 bus. It's just EURO 2:50 each way. We made the mistake of getting a taxi from the airport when we arrived, but it cost EURO 35 and has to stop in Piazzala Roma which is exactly where the bus stops, so there was no advantage in taking a taxi.

Ease of reaching the property by water taxi a real plus. Free use of internet, full breakfast included in rate were other strong points, as were the extremely reasonable bar prices for cocktails. Staff very welcoming and gracious. Small balconies both down and upstairs provide a great spot to view the Grand Canal and watch the sun go down. Only negative was the a/c in the room did not seem to work very well while it seemed fine in the lobby. It is an old building so the bathrooms are not large and impressive, but very functional. If requesting a canal view, I'd recommend also asking for an uppper floor as we were on the first floor and the room was a tad musty. Overall I'd recommend this hotel for it location and charm. For the cost it cant be beat! The single room my daughter had was small but functional and had a large closet.

Small, but confortable "single". Breakfast Room very nice, with a little balcony over the Great Canal. No elevator and access a little complicated (very small streets, bridges... better have few luggage).

Très bel hôtel. Notre chambre au RdC n'était certainement pas la meilleure (sombre avec un carrelage au sol un peu en déconfiture), mais elle était spacieuse et très calme. L'hôtel a de beaux balcons sur le Grand Canal pour prendre le petit dej ou un verre. Bon accueil et très bien situé.

Excellent hotel for the price. Great location right on the canal. Wonderful breakfast. Very helpful and pleasant staff. And fairly easy to find - once you get close to the hotel, there are obvious signs for it. Only one slight negative - if you're on the 3rd floor, there are lots of steep steps, and it can get tiring. This was the first time I'd stayed at this hotel - I've stayed at others in Venice - and it was a great choice. I would certainly come back again.

Beautiful little hotel, well kept, clean, friendly staff, wonderful continental breakfast, and the best American coffee in Ialy!

Hotel San Cassiano exceeded our expectatives! It's a lovely antique house over the Grand Canal. We like to return there !!!

The hotel is a bit hard to find at first, but it's well worth it. It's in a great location with excellent breakfast. We enjoyed our stay.

Our second visit which was every bit as good as our first - excellent.

Excellent charming hotel. Notice a very nice restaurant nearby, called Ostaria Al Garanghelo: Typical Venitian (excellent) cuisine, very welcomming people, very good prices considering the quality. To be tried

From the moment we arrived the staff was wonderful and always very helpful. The breakfast was very good with nice variety. We had a waterbus pass obtained from ATVO, which I fully recommend to a visitor to Venice. There was a bus stop within a 5 minute walk. Once we obtained directions from the hotel staff, it was easy to find. The hotel is old, and the main stairway under repair, but has a wonderful old world charm. Our room was beautiful, very clean, and beds very comfortable. The staff made us feel always welcome at the end of our day of wandering around the city. They arranged a wonderful taxi and tour of a glass factory on Murano. I would definitely recommend San Cassiano for a stay while visiting Venice and plan to return one day.

Friendly helpful staff but room rather small. Limited public areas. Good view of canal from breakfast room but this was shut off after breakfast.

Eccellente localizzazione per visitare venezia!!

Venice is expensive all year round, price in January 2008 was quite Ok

Rooms for singles are too small, you can barely move and too expensive. However, the hotel is nice and quite good situated, even though it is very difficult to find it.

We were very pleased with our choice of hotel.Very good value which included cooked breakfast,fresh fruit etc and excelent coffee.Rooms were very good, we were with another couple and were given rooms with a shared balcony.Very pleasant bar to meet up with frieds and a verander overlooking the Grand canal.Much prefered staying here than in St Marks area.Some good local restaurants.Would definately stay here again.

You really need a detailed map to locate this hotel unless you take the watertaxi where you can dock at the hotel. We stayed in a triple room and the hotel was kind enough to give us the canal view. The room and bathroom were very spacious compared to other triple rooms in Italy. Very nice canal view. Rustic design and antique furniture. The breakfast was so good I had a second round. The hotel makes you feel like a million bucks and yet a one night's stay isn't that costly. Location is pretty good. 5 minutes from Rialto Market and 10 minute walk to the Santa Lucia train station. You can save $13 euros by not taking the ferry. Seems like they only check your tickets if you carry luggage otherwise you can ride the ferry for free. Remember need a very detailed map with street names otherwise you'll get lost in the lab-rat maze. Will definitely pick this hotel again if we revisit.

The San Cassiano is my first choice for staying in Venice for a number of reasons. The view from the breakfast room to the Ca d'Oro is unsurpassed. The area feels like the real Venice and is relatively free of tourists. There are any number of great places to eat within a short walk of the hotel. At the same time, you can get to any other part of Venice very easily, either on foot or by vaporetto. Having stayed in the hotel a number of times I feel as though I'm returning home - it's good to be greeted by familiar faces. At the same time, the staff are very professional and don't become too familiar with their guests. On the odd occasion when I've had to stay elsewhere, I have always felt I would rather be at the Ca' Favretto. Yes, the single rooms are a bit small but that is not unusual. I have no hesitation about recommending the hotel to friends.

This was our first visit and we found Hotel San Cassiano to be absolutely wonderful. Our accommodations on the Grand Canal were spectacular. The hotel was in a quiet, peaceful area of Venice which was appreciated as there were so many tourists.

We had a good room, spacious, but very small bathroom. The 2 windows opened out with good view of the Grand Canal. It did cost more being a "superior room with canal view". But when spending only a few days in Venice, why not? The breakfast room did not have enough space and tables when the hotel was full.

Excellent! The staff was very friendly and competent and did help with any question and request. The rooms are very! spacious (specially for Venice) and furnished with elegant furniture. It is absolutely great to have a drink on the little balcony on the floor directly on the Canale Grande. The highlight is to enjoy breakfast on the little balcony on the first floor (only two seats - so be early or you'll have to wait) and look on the awakening Venice on the canal. We will definitly stay there again. The hotel is relatively easy to find (again - specially for venice) because you simply have to head for the Canale Grande and there are also signs in the streets that point you to the hotel. It is comfortably located about 10 minutes walk to every major location like Rialto or Piazza San Marco. The price is a little higher than an average hotel would cost BUT you are in an elegant, beautifully located hotel which is worth the price!

Needs update and TLC new Bedding also

We stayed here in Sept 2007 to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. It was perfect so much so we have already booked for next year!! The staff are great very helpful and friendly. The complimentary trip to the Glass works was an unexpected pleasure, the room (104) was perfect. The bed is comfortable and the room spacious. The breakfasts are good and the coffee must be the best in Venice (especially with a brandy!!)We were sad to leave but happy in knowing we will be going back next year. It is in a lovely part of Venice close to wonderful fish restaurants and all the main attractions withinn walking distance. We did'nt get lost but did arrive in a water taxi which we would both reccomend!! A truly wonderful small hotel. The only thing which would have been appreciated would be a hotel restaurant as after a busy 2 days walking around Venice the last night would have been nice eating at the Hotel. However, this has not put us off returning and we are looking forward to it already!!!

Enjoyed the hotel very much. The room was a bit small but adequate and in line with what you can expect for Venice. Only comment is that the price was high but have to expect that in Venice and for the location. The deck overlooking the canal for drinks and the breakfast room were really nice. Also, liked the location which was a bit removed from all the crowds. Would come back.

Excellent location, excellent staff. Breakfast was the best I've had in Italy. Room was a bit noisey with bad plumbing - but nothing ear plugs couldn't sort out. Expected a bit more for the price but the location was good. We would stay again.

The staff were excellent!! Excellent location, too.

Only 1 incident, when we asked for a recommendation for an osteria nearby, we were sent to a very expensive restaurant in a touristy area which noted who had sent us... kickback maybe?

To begin with it was hard to find the hotel as it seems to be under two names.It seemed a long way from the centre of things but once you got to know your way about it was ok. We were lucky enough to get a breakfast table on the small balcony each of our mornings there.The staff were very pleasant and helpful.would certainly stay here again.

My family and I have stayed at San Cassiano Ca' Favretto the last two years. My parents had a room overlooking the Grand Canal. It was very interesting watching all the various types of traffic on Venice's main road. Double rooms are very spacious. However, single rooms tend to be quite small. Excellent hotel with a truly Venetian feel.

Having visited the San Cassiano when friends stayed there I knew how good it was and it lived up to my expectations. For the first night I had a room at the rear over the entrance and in future would ask for that again and forgo the noise of the Grand Canal which cannot be avoided if you are closer to it and have the windows open. The staff are excellent and very helpful, and the breakfast very good. I knew from experience how to find the San Cassiano and there are some signs which are helpful but one could have problems without a good map(Berndston & Berndston is the best I have found). In all the San Cassiano provides very good service in a wonderful location and is excellent value for money, I will certainly try to stay there in furure.

This hotel is beautiful...Excellent. We had the room with the view to the canal...Fantastic, It was a little bit tricky to find the hotel but hey, you will get lost anyway in Venice. Just ask local people and they will guide you. The room was romantic and just perfect for everybody that loves the romantic moments in Venice. Highly recommend this hotel.

I found the hotel at the venere internet page and it looked interesting for me. The rooms were excellent, the hotel is very nice and deserves 5 stars. The only negative thing was the noise in the morning, because they were building a new house or something at the other side of the Canale Grande.

A lovely hotel, full of character, tastefully furnished, comfortable (extra pillows and blankets in wardrobe, no need to ask). Great little bar with small balcony on which you can sit and sip your Prosecco while overlooking the Grand Canal. Traditional walled Italian garden at entrance. The staff are efficient, helpful and friendly. The photographs and the description given on the site could make more of this hotel - the bar balcony and the garden? We go to Venice 2 /3 times per year for about 3 days each time. We will definitely return to San Cassiano.

For the single traveller, it's very difficult to find spacious hotel accommodation in Venice. Single rooms are invariably tiny, and things were no different at Ca'Favretto though my room (106)and its facilities were fine. Having said that, this is a nice hotel in a fabulous location on the Grand Canal where it's possible to sit on the small ground floor jetty with a drink and enjoy one of the most extraordinary views in the world. I went out of season - in January - and would definitely consider staying here again.

The same wander around trying to find it as everyone else - but that's part of the fun. We expected to get lost and enjoyed it when we did. We found the location really convenient once we got to know where we were, and appreciated breakfast overlooking the grand canal. I took a panorama from the breakfast room balcony see http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=337656770&size=o

As a single woman, Hotel San Cassiano offered a safe, comfortable place to stay - very convenient location near the Rialto. The value for money was excellent.

I really liked the hotel. The location is the best. The hotel itself is very cute. The service in the holte is excellent. The is a nice breakfast in the morning. I will recommend the hotel others and will come back there if I ever visit Venice again.

Good place, very well located. very nice hotel. Breakfast could be improved

Une vue magnifique sur le Grand Canal, presque en face de la Ca' D'oro que nous avions la chance de voir de notre chambre ! Cela à été un séjour parfait. Merci.

This was a great location. We arrived and departed by water taxi (warning! 45-80 Euros from train station), but otherwise took advantage of the nearby Rialto and St.Stae vaporetto stops. Lovely canals in the area, much more residential - found a number of good restaurants just by wandering aimlessly in just about any direction. Breakfast each day was eggs, sausage, bacon, prosciutto, cheeses, canned fruit, and cereal -- arriving at 7:30 guaranteed you a table on the balcony overlooking the Grand Canal, and then out into Venice before the worst of the people traffic set in. We had a side-view canal (first come first served), which was a little loud when boats motored through at all hours of day and night, but otherwise nice to hear the water. Another nice view for a non-canalview room would be of the private courtyard. Note to multi-day travelers: clothes don't dry fast, and the chambermaids close the windows & drapes and turn the A/C way down when they leave, so if you don't like cold, let them know to not touch the A/C!

I stayed with my husband and sister in law,we had a double and a single room. The rooms were lovely, beautifully furnished. The hotel is in a wonderful location looking onto the canal and ideally placed for setting off in any direction to explore Venice. There is a snug bar and a little terrace outside which was lovely to sit on with a drink.

Beautiful location, beautiful palace, and excellent value for money in Venice. The little terrace over the Grand Canal is just amazing at sunset.

Venice hotels are expensive, no doubt about it. We booked 4 rooms, all were in excellent condition and large, one had a block-buster view of the Grand Canal. One certainly is able to get the feeling of what the grand trade houses of the Republic were like. The breakfast room over looking the canal was a treat, the seating on the balcony was out of a movie (on nice days). Arriving by water taxi at the water door was a wonderful way to start our Italy trip, and painless.

This is our second stay at San Cassiano - Ca' Favretto. It is a beautiful small hotel in a great location. The view from a canal-side room can't be improved on.

Venere continues to be an excellent provider for hotel information.We were very satisfied with all aspects of our acomadation in Venice

I got one of the canal view rooms (300€/night). Everything perfect but for the bathroom, which was small and not as luxurious as the rest of the room.

Wonderful hotel, ideally located, with superb and friendly staff. The decor and atmosphere was amazing.The excellent inclusive breakfast, taken in a room overlooking the Grand Canal, set us up for the day. We will go back.

Ravis et enchantés de ce séjour dans l'hotel. Parfait !

A very pleasant hotel with loads of character, reasonably priced and in a central location. The size, cleanliness, and facilities of the rooms were excellent. The staff on the whole were very pleasant. Breakfast was very nice with plenty of choice and as much as you could eat. One issue was the bar closed too early.

Without doubt one of the best hotels i have stopped at. I wouldn't normally recommend a hotel to anyone else but recommended San Cassiano to another couple at the airport on the way out who are regular visitors to Venice. I cannot express enough just how good this hotel was.

This was our second visit to this hotel, it is hard to beat. excellent.

Superbe hotel. Nus avions réservé une chambre avec vue sur le grand canal qui était très agréable et silencieuse, meublée avec de jolis meubles anciens. Mais nous avons aperçu une chambre single, petite et sombre et une double sans vue, au mobilier plus moderne, sans personnalité. Notre conseil : si vous voulez du charme à votre chambre, optez pour les plus chères, le rapport qualité/prix se justifie alors.

I done a 12 days European tour, keeping Venice for the end of the trip. During this period I passed through different "boarding" situations 70% being reserved in advance. Conclusion Ca' Favretto is the top and is very possible to come back there.

A very pleasant stay in a fine hotel made even better with a Grand Canal view. An ideal location for a base for a weekend break which is within walking distance of all areas.

Stylish friendly hotel in a wonderful location - worth the premium to enjoy a room overlooking the Grand Canal. Staff friendly and helpful.

A charming and romantic hotel with friendly staff

We arrived late evening with my husband by water taxi from airport.Ca Favretto was beautifully lit and looked absolutely wonderful. The building and the rooms were exactly to our expectations . Breakfast room can be a bit crowded at times but you can be lucky and find a table overlooking the Grand Canal! We were also very happy with Ernesto the barman who was ever so generous with the prosseco ! Will definitely be going back!
