- 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.

I had to cancel my trip to Venice due to Covid and the airline I was due to travel with pulled it's flights. I was unable to cancel through the booking company, however this hotel agreed to cancel at no fee and I was therefore able to get the full cost of my holiday back. Many thanks! I hope to stay with you when all this madness is over.

The breakfast bar had a balcony with an amazing view of the canal. Our room was on the ground level and was very spacious. One and only one item that had a draw back was the blow dryer for your hair was very weak and would overheat within minutes. Front Desk staff stated they were unable to provide a replacement. Quiet location.

If you are going to this hotel for a long time, you would be better going for the bigger rooms.
We booked a smaller room, but moved as we were there for 7 nights.
The larger rooms are outstanding.and some have views of the grand canal.
The other stand out features are the waterfront location near Rialto Bridge and the friendliness of the staff.
Booze is cheap in the bar and mini-bar (cant be said much in Venice).
There is a nice Waterfront deck to sit out on too to watch the grand canal.
Its not an expensive Hotel and punches well above its weight.
The staff really are that nice.
Give it a go.

Got a room here for a steal a couple weeks after the November flooding. Located on the grand canal yet still offers a very quiets night sleep, the dining area opens up to a balcony overlooking the canal. The hotel is around a 10 minute walk to the Rialto. I stayed in a single room which felt very spacious for one person, amenities include a bath and shower, a desk and a minifridge. The room and hotel itself is very quaint and locally decorated which makes the place feel unique as opposed to staying in a large looks the same chain hotel. It should be worth noting there are no lifts due to the age of the building. Staff were very friendly and welcoming upon checking in and out. Would happily stay again if I ever return to the city!

We stayed here fir a few days while visiting this amazing city. The hotel is an old building right next to the canal. The room we had was large and comfortable, and cleaned very day. Even though it was right next to the canal, it was very quiet. The decor inside is fascinating as well - lots of artwork and glassware.
Staff members were very helpful, and gave us options of where to eat etc. The breakfast provided was reasonable and our selections were served to us (rather than having a self service due to the current situation).
The location is wonderful - 5 minutes from the market, and less than 10 from the Rialto. There are lots of shops and restaurants/bars nearby; the hotel also has a small balcony overlooking the canal where you can have a drink and watch the boats go by.
Because of the age of the building, it is not the most disabled friendly hotel - you have to climb 2 flights of steep stairs to get to the breakfast room, however this is true of most of Venice. Accessing the hotel is easy if you arrive by water taxi (it drops you off at the hotel balcony!), otherwise you can take the vaporetto to San Stae and walk from there.
Overall, this hotel made our stay in Venice that much more memorable - a particular thank you to Sean who gave us a lot of helpful advice.
