Ca' Riccio

Our stay was nice. Our only complaint would be that breakfast was an issue both mornings. Not enough tables to accommodate guests, food ran out one morning, and wasn't ready until almost 9 the next. (breakfast was supposed to start at 8:30.) Tables were not cleaned from the day before. However room was great..pillows could be better and staff was friendly!

Firstly, follow the directions provided by the hotel because Venice is a maze. Google Map should be your best friend while you're there. If you're coming from the train station, take the water bus to the closest stop and walk about 5 minute. I love where this hotel is located...there is tavern close by where you can take your drinks outside and enjoy on the bridge. The hotel is an apartment type bed and breakfast...on the third floor. No front desk after hours. It was clean. The staff was super friendly and provided some great tips for restaurants and sight seeing. Room/bathroom were tiny which is typical of the area and Italy on a whole. Bathrooms were thoroughly cleaned every day unlike some hotels I've been where they get it done in 30 seconds. Breakfast was standard. Wifi was a little spotty but once you go to the dinning area you get strong signal.

Exactly as advertised. Check in was frustrating and exhausting after the long flight but otherwise great.

My partner and I spent 2 nights at the Rachelle apartment in Ca’ Riccio. Check in is a little confusing because they have apartments and a BNB in different locations. We had to contact them before check in, and then call when we arrived at the apartment location so that someone could meet us and let us in. The apartment was very nice. On a quiet street in the Cannaregio district. Bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and living room on the second floor of the building. Two minute walk to the water with a few restaurants and vaporettos (water taxis) to Murano, Burano, the airport, and other locations. From there you can see the island of San Michelle. The apartment is bit out of the way, but in a great spot if you want to get away from crowds. About a 15-20 minute walk to most places including St. marc’s Square, the train station, shopping districts, the Jewish Ghetto. There is a supermarket nearby. We had a night flight out of Venice that evening. The staff were kind and let us leave our bags all day in one of the shared spaces. That was much appreciated!

What a great place to stay. Staff are lovely and friendly, place is brightly decorated and clean and the room has air conditioning - which was a blessing. Breakfast was delicious, with different items served each day. No 'fry-up' or traditional continental pastries, so maybe not ideal for a picky eater, but there was cereal, toast, yogurt, fresh fruit, cake and continental meats, plus daily specials as well as good coffee, tea's and fresh juice. Whilst the selections might not be what you are used to, it was certainly enjoyable and as it was buffet style, you can fill up ready for a day of exploring. Our room was a good size, with a well stocked fridge, plenty of fresh towels and a big comfy bed! The only small downside is that the rooms are on the 3rd floor with no lift, however the location is great right near one the bridge crossings, thus making navigation around Venice simpler and just off the main drag, so nice and quiet.
