We stayed at Ca’ Bonfadini from 11th–15th May 2026, and without question it is the best hotel we have ever stayed in during our visits to Venice. Over the years we've been fortunate enough to stay at some excellent Venetian hotels, including the Bauer when it was open and, more recently, Hotel Palazzo Keller. Both were very good, but Ca’ Bonfadini was on another level entirely. The location in Cannaregio is exceptionally practical. It's only around a five-minute walk from Venice Santa Lucia railway station and sits directly opposite the Guglie vaporetto stop, making arrivals and departures incredibly easy, whether travelling by train or from the airport. Despite its convenience, the hotel enjoys a wonderfully peaceful setting on a quiet canal, with several lovely restaurants just steps away. The hotel itself is absolutely stunning. The restoration of this historic Venetian building has been carried out to an exceptionally high standard, with beautiful traditional Venetian antiques and elegant décor throughout. Everywhere you look there is another detail to admire, and the combination of history, luxury and authenticity creates a truly special atmosphere. We stayed in a top-floor canal view room, which was incredibly spacious. There was plenty of storage and hanging space for clothes, something that is often lacking in hotel rooms. The bathroom was equally impressive, featuring double sinks, a huge walk-in shower and beautiful finishes throughout. The canal views were wonderful, and the room was such a comfortable and relaxing place to return to after a day exploring Venice. I slept exceptionally well throughout our stay. Breakfast was another highlight. The quality was outstanding, with beautifully presented displays of fresh fruit, pastries, cereals, cold meats, cheeses and freshly squeezed juices. There was an excellent variety of options every morning, and it was the perfect way to start each day. Last, but certainly not least, the staff were exceptional. Every member of the team was friendly, attentive and genuinely welcoming. Nothing ever seemed too much trouble, and they consistently went above and beyond to ensure guests had the best possible experience. Their professionalism, warmth and attention to detail made us feel completely at home from the moment we arrived. They were truly the cherry on top of an already outstanding stay. Ca’ Bonfadini ticked every box for us. From the location and beautiful accommodation to the excellent breakfast and exceptional service, everything exceeded our expectations. We would return without hesitation and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a truly memorable stay in Venice.

“Simply superb hotel and staff - Can't recommend highly enough”

Myself and my Wife had an exceptional stay at Ca Bonfadini. The hotel is simply stunning, the staff exceptional and the food is excellent. From arrival to departure we could not have hoped for more from our stay and should we return to Venice, then I wouldn't consider staying anywhere else.

We stayed 3 nights at Ca' Bondafini - we just loved it, everything! It was a wonderful base from which to experience Venice. The hotel and staff are absolute class. The room was clean, modern and luxurious. The AC worked extremely well, we were super comfortable. The room staff were absolutely on it for towel changes, tidying, setting up the room when we were out, etc. The restaurant and bar were elegant and beautiful. The place has Murano glass on display everywhere. The Secret Garden was also an evening gem to get some quiet and peace. But the best part was the helpfulness and kindness of the staff - every last one. Giuseppe and Costi took care of our every need with such polish and class - loved these guys. The menu in the restaurant was out of this world - absolutely gourmet. This hotel is really what made our visit to Venice to wonderful - I WILL STAY THERE AGAIN - and can't wait to return! It's not cheap, but its a great value for such an elegant place.
