Apartment Ca' Otello - Venice

9.4

This hotel was a very good value. It was large and clean and the employees were very helpful. The area was quiet and near to the ferry for easy access to other areas of Venice. The hotel was located in a rather isolated area of Venice which was ideal for my family but might be lonely for young adult tourists.

4 adults stayed for 3 nights and we had a great time. After sightseeing in all the touristy areas of Venice, we really appreciated the quiet neighborhood of the apt. It was so convenient to the waterbus stop and great places to eat. The owner was very helpful with directions and suggestions. Also, the refrigerator was stocked with essentials and were much appreciated on our arrival after a long trip. It was a 2 story apt. so if you had any issues climbing stairs, it might not be the place for you. It was a perfact place for us!

Having stayed in Venice before with my husband in an upmarket hotel on the Grand Canal, I was a little anxious about taking the kids and staying in an apartment. I actually preffered the apartment - it was FANTASTIC! The owner met us from the Vapouretto stop which was literally 50 yards from the apartment. The apartment was immaculate inside and perfectly formed for our requirements. Upstairs was even bigger and nicer than we imagined. The local supermarket was also within easy walking distance and we even had use of a shopping trolley! It was great fun to cook authentic Italian food in our new Chef's hats purchased in St. Marks square in the apartment. Walking into the centre was a really enjoyable experience as it took us through the real Venice and felt much less commercialised than the Rialto bridge area. I would definately recommend walking into the centre at least once or twice. It only takes about 15 minutes and there are lots of Trattorias and shops to look at enroute. This visit we also went the Doge's palace which was incredible. Our children are 13, 10 and 7 and they especially liked the armoury, prison cells and paintings.I must admit that the highlight of their holiday was feeding the pigeons in St. Marks square and the Gondola ride. Gabriella and Goffredo were excellent hosts and I would 100% recommend this apartment. Venice truely is one of the wonders of the world!

A great place to stay with a family or even two couples with a couple of kids. From earlier reviews we knew the kitchen was well stocked-a huge plus. The welcome was great, even though we were 2 hrs late due to acqua bassa and a change in vaporetto routes The location is a bit out of the way, on the north side of the city, but it caused us to explore parts of the city we had not seen. Very convenient to the vaporetto and public transport to the airport, another big plus The rooms, particularly the bedrooms, were beautifully but simply appointed. The family room was a bit chilly-our stay was in February. A rug in the living room would have been a nice addition. Overall we loved our stay and would recommend the apartment as a very cost effective way to stay in Venice.

This was a wonderful apartment and helped make our stay in Venice a real joy. We were met at the boat stop by Goffredo. He is a true gentleman from the "old school" and was very helpful. The apartment itself was very comfortable. As a family of four we had lots of room. The place would sleep up to 8 comfortably. The kitchen and living/dining room are small, however, so big gatherings would be difficult. The space is all upstairs in the 3 large bedrooms. Food, juice, coffee, etc. was provided, and very much appreciated, especially after the completely bare apartment we had in Rome. I love the location. Some good cafes and the Fondamente Nove vaporetto stop are right there. San Marco Sqaure, the Rialto, and the Ghetto are an easy walk It's a part of town where Venetians actually live and work, and it was nice being part of it. The view of San Michel is spectacular. Highly recommended, and we would return without hesitation.

Everything was great. The owner expected us with everything ready. There was even coffee and snacks. Moreover, there was rice and oil so we can cook (which we did BTW). Location is fantastic, get off the vaporetto, walk 60 mts. and you're in. Vaporetto stop perfect for I/O Venice and for Murano (and Burano!). 15 minutes (beautiful) walking to Piazza San Marco, fantastic restaurant just across the street (expensive though...). Excellent apartment, it's highly recommended. We have visited dozens of hotels/ apartments and this ranks (easily) among the top 5 best performance /price options

Ca' Otello is a great apartment, very well suited to family groups. The facilities are top notch, the welcome is great and they even leave a well stocked larder and fridge! Bonus! The apartment is very handily situated near a vaporetto stop and for trips to islands like Murano. Would definitely stay there again.

Ca'Otello was our favorite place we stayed in Italy. It came at the end of a two week trip, and gave us a chance to spread out a bit. There is an excellent small kitchen with a refrigerator, stove and microwave; a dining room area with a two-seater couch; satellite tv (although if you sit around watching tv while you're in Venice you're crazy); 2.5 bathrooms; two bunk beds, and three double beds. We couldn't believe we got all that for 150 Euros a night (we were there at the end of March). It was spotlessly clean, and had plenty of clean towels and other supplies. It's nicely removed from busy tourist areas, and very conveniently located right around the corner from the Fondamente Nove vaporetto stop, which allows quick access to Murano, Piazzale Roma, and other key stops. Despite a misunderstanding about our arrival time, the owner graciously made a return trip from Lido to check us in. The apartment was beautiful, and I would say the nicest (and best valued for the price) place I have stayed in Europe, and I have travelled in Europe many times.

Absolutely beautiful! It was so welcoming having the landlord meet us at the waterbus,assist Grandma with her bags and make us espresso coffee and cookies when we got there. There were a few staples, milk, juice yogurt, oil vinegar, sugar,coffee, tea etc in the apartment. You cant imagine how nice that is after a long journey! The back bedroom upstairs was noisy from the people living above it ( although someone up there had an angelic singing voice that we enjoyed). The 2 front bedrooms were very quiet. Nice restaurant( expensive) across the street. Nice quiet location, Spotless, Lots of beautiful marble. Landlord was awesome and very accomodating! We were a family of 6, 2 parents, 3 children and grandma with us. We had enough space, esp with 3 bathrooms. The kitchen, although small, was very functional and enabled us to cook Italian, with no problem!We actually felt very integrated into the community living in the apartment as opposed to a visitor in a hotel! It didnt take us very long to walk to St. Marks square and the water bus was just down a short street. The grocery store was also not far. We controlled our own heat. I better stop now, If I praise it too much, it will be all booked up when we come back!

Hola, nosotros pasamos unas vacaciones en família en Ca´Otello y estuvimos genial. Nos gustó mucho el apto. y hubo mucha seriedad en el servício. Súper limpio y bien situado. Guardamos muy buen recuerdo y lo recomendamos. Ciao!!

Our host was very helpful. Good location off the water taxi. Walking to San Marco or Rialto, even train station was not a problem. Supplied us with bottle water, juice, coffee, spices. That was great not having to buy coffee. Highly recommend this apartment.

Really nice apartment, we appreciated also the hospitality of its host. Despite that our fly to Venice arrived too late (almost 3 hours late), its host was waiting us in the point of contact – definitely I recommend this apartment by three reasons: property facilities, location and hospitality.

Owner was very nice and hospitable. The only complaint I had was that the private bathroom had a funny smell.
