San Cassiano-Ca' Favretto Review

San Cassiano-Ca' Favretto
$$$$, Santa Croce
Fodor's Review:
This Renaissance-era red-stucco and stone building was home to the families of several aristocratic families before being purchased by the Venetian painter Giacomo Favretto (1849-87). The spacious portego preserves the original 20-foot beamed ceiling, from which hang two huge Murano chandeliers fit for a royal ballroom; old tapestries arranged high on the walls add glamour and a medieval feel. All rooms are furnished with either genuine antiques or well-made replicas. Nearly every window frames a great view; those facing the Grand Canal open on the lacy facade of the Ca' d'Oro, which at sunset picks up magic shades of pink.

Good Hotel
Posted by JSLee from Casper, WY on 2/11/07
This hotel is easy to find, has a very helpful staff (most of them, clean rooms, bar, balcony for the bar, good breakfast (with a balcony. I had to send an international fax for a lost item (my fault, not stolen), and the staff sent it without charge. The door is locked until 7AM or so, so if you need to get out earlier, let the staff know so they can set their alarm clock. The location is ok, but not that great. There is no decent restaurant nearby. The bar is tended by the desk staff, so it may take a while to get a drink. The bar also opens at their leisure.
