Traditional Venetian
The Hotel Ca’d’Oro is in a secluded corner of the Cannaregio district of Venice, close to the attraction of the same name, the Golden House, which is reputedly the most beautiful building in Venice. The hotel is within easy walking distance of most of the museums, palazzi and attractions of Venice. The Rialto Bridge is 5 minutes away and St Mark’s Square is a gentle ten-minute amble away. Close to the hotel is the Old Ghetto, Tintoretto’s House and some of his finest work in the Madonna dell’Orto Church nearby. The hotel has its own ‘water door’ with access to the canal taxis.
This historic building was once the home of the Barbaro family, diplomats of the Most Serene Republic of Venice, as it was then known. Restored in 2000, this delightful boutique hotel now offers a comfortable place to stay, combining period furniture and ambience with the latest mod cons in their generously sized rooms.
The 27 rooms of this boutique hotel are all different. Some have timber-beamed ceilings, while others have views of the pretty hotel courtyard and the nearby canal. The guest rooms are furnished in appropriately authentic style and have WiFi, satellite TV, a safe and air-conditioning. Junior suites enjoy jacuzzis in their luxury bathrooms. Those with allergies can opt for the thoughtfully provided allergy-free rooms with parquet flooring. Although the hotel has no restaurant or bar, there are plenty of bacari and trattoria in the immediate vicinity for enjoying traditional Venetian cuisine.
This comfortable three star hotel in Venice’s Cannaregio district is one of the best value hotels in Venice. Centrally located and comfortably appointed, the price includes a buffet breakfast. The friendly staff are both willing and helpful to make guests’ stay complete. Their local knowledge is invaluable in this maze of historic streets and sights.
