- Breakfast room overlooking the Grand Canal
- Located just a few minutes walk from the Rialto Bridge
Step back in time with this delightful 14th century palazzo, once home to the Venetian Realista painter Giacomo Favretto, and now a popular choice with Citalia guests. Historically important, Hotel San Cassiano Ca’ Favretto was also the residence of noble families. Today it is a Residenza d'Epoca, or listed building. The San Cassiano's public rooms are beautifully decorated to embody a traditional Venetian style and the pretty breakfast room overlooks the Grand Canal.
In addition to the few minutes' walk to the Rialto Bridge, an unusual yet interesting sight nearer to the hotel is La Peschiera, the site of Venice’s six centuries old busy fish market. Hidden away in a quiet street, this unique four star hotel lies on the edge of the Grand Canal, sitting virtually opposite Palazzo Sagredo’s waterfront façade with its exemplary Veneto-Byzantine and Gothic arches.
The hotel has 36 rooms (official rating 4 star). Child prices apply to ages 2-11 years. Minimum stay 2 nights arriving on a Friday and Saturday.

Staff was friendly and helpful. They gave us maps and suggestions on where to go/ eat. The hotel has all antique beautiful furniture. I was quiet. The room with the canal view was to die for. Defiantly worth the money. The breakfast was phenomenal! 10/10 would stay here again! We took a taxi boat to the hotel because we arrived late in the evening and walked to the train station upon our departure! Great stay!

My partner and I stayed here a few days ago. It is absolutely charming and wonderful place to stay. It's antique deccor added to the experience of staying in such a romantic and historic city. The staff are wonderful and friendly. I've read other reviews about issues with the bar and getting served. We had no such experience and the staff were brilliant.
Thank you very much for a wonderful stay.

There is no way this hotel is a 4 star based on UK ratings! It???s very old and outdated, it is clean tho so that???s an advantage. However public areas smelt so bad. And it wasn???t the canal smell. Beds are extremely hard, and pillows might as well not be there as so hard and flat! Staff on desk seemed friendly when spoken to, however tried to get drinks at bar and was just so slow man didn???t know what he was doing. I???ve seen other reviews saying that only certain can use bar. Then if that???s the case surely to stop bad feedback like this they should train other staff to do this. Also found hotel extremely noisy. From internal and external. I wouldn???t recommend this hotel nor would I return.

Loved this hotel, great position for exploring Venice. All sightseeing areas within easy walking distance, great fun navigating little alleys. Ferry station nearby.
Had room on 1st floor, plenty large enough with safe, drinks fridge, TV and large comfortable bed and plenty of storage space. Bathroom clean with shower over bath and toiletries supplied.
Breakfast on 2nd floor with a balcony overlooking Grand Canal was good with cereal, fruit, yogurt, sausage, bacon and eggs, fruit juices, teas and coffee, croissants, cake and toaster. Enough to fill the humps for a days exploring.
Small bar, prices very reasonable.
Staff very friendly and helpful, Thanks to Sean for recommending lovely restaurant.
If in Venice again would return and would recommend anyone to stay here.

Had a lovely 3 night stay- on arrival we were allocated a bedroom on the ground floor, more spacious than we had expected but unfortunately no natural light. After a minor issue we were kindly moved to an even lovelier room on the top floor. Both rooms were clean tidy and well presented. The reception staff were very professional and kindly arranged for our luggage to be moved to the new room while we are out so we lost none of our day.
Lovely breakfast selection, hot and cold and plenty of options including several milk options.
E
asy walking distance to restaurants and more importantly the Rialto boat stop so very easy to hop on and off. Hotel is also very well signposted down the many winding and narrow passageways.
Would recommend and would stay again.
