Bianca Cappello House

Hotel Description

Welcome to the enchanting Bianca Cappello House, a distinguished 3-star gem nestled in the heart of Venice’s historic San Polo district. This boutique accommodation, boasting an exceptional 9.3 rating from satisfied guests, offers an authentic Venetian experience that larger chain hotels simply cannot match. Situated at San Polo 1276, on the picturesque Calle Bianca Cappello Già Del Ponte Storto, this charming establishment places you in one of Venice’s oldest and most characteristic neighborhoods. The San Polo district, known for its artistic heritage and vibrant atmosphere, provides an ideal base for exploring the floating city’s myriad wonders. Just steps away from the iconic Rialto Bridge and the magnificent Grand Canal, Bianca Cappello House offers convenience without sacrificing the intimate feel of residential Venice, allowing guests to experience the city as locals do rather than as mere tourists.

The remarkably high 9.3 rating of Bianca Cappello House speaks volumes about the exceptional experience awaiting guests at this Venetian haven. Named after a noble Venetian historical figure, the property exudes character and authenticity at every turn. The hotel’s location in San Polo places you within comfortable walking distance of many of Venice’s treasured landmarks—from the bustling Rialto Market, where local vendors have sold fresh produce and seafood for centuries, to the majestic Campo San Polo, one of the city’s largest and most impressive squares. Art enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to the Scuola Grande di San Rocco, housing masterpieces by Tintoretto, while those seeking to experience authentic Venetian culture will delight in the neighborhood’s traditional bacari (wine bars) serving delicious cicchetti (Venetian tapas). When venturing further afield, the illustrious St. Mark’s Square and the Doge’s Palace are just a pleasant stroll away across the Rialto Bridge, offering views of gondola-dotted waterways and centuries-old palazzos along your journey.

At Bianca Cappello House, the exceptional guest experience reflected in its outstanding 9.3 rating is crafted through meticulous attention to detail and genuinely warm Italian hospitality. While maintaining the charm and character of a historic Venetian building, the hotel offers modern amenities that today’s discerning travelers expect. The property’s position on Calle Bianca Cappello Già Del Ponte Storto—literally “formerly of the crooked bridge”—hints at the fascinating layers of history surrounding you. This address places you in a wonderfully authentic part of Venice, away from the most congested tourist routes yet perfectly positioned to access all the city’s highlights. As evening falls, you’ll appreciate returning to the tranquil sanctuary of your hotel after a day of exploration, perhaps unwinding with a glass of Veneto wine while planning the next day’s adventures through the labyrinthine streets and serene canals of one of the world’s most captivating cities. For travelers seeking an intimate, authentic Venetian experience in an ideally located and exceptionally rated establishment, Bianca Cappello House offers an unforgettable stay in the magical floating city.

Reviews

• Porsughyan from Armenia – 3 December 2024 (10/10)

  The property is in a very good location. Rialto is in 6-7 minute walking distance and everything else is very close. We visited all the sights on foot.
  The room was very nice and corresponded to the photos. It was clean, the bed and the pillow were very comfortable and there is everything you need (wardrobe, small table, coffee and cupcakes, water). Water, cupcakes and coffee were updated everyday. They also clean the room everyday.
  The checkin went smoothly, we arrived very late but the host gave us instructions on how to checkin. The host is very very nice and ready to help with everything. It was my birthday and they surprised me with a bottle of prosecco which was very cute.
  Overall I highly recommend this place. I would choose this place again next time I am in Venice.

• Zsuzsanna from Austria – 25 March 2025 (9/10)

  Great location. Has all what you need. Cosy and romantic. Everything within 15 min walk. Close to Rialto
  
  What could be improved: Since it’s an old house, you can hear the neighbours if they are louder.
  Maybe it would make sense to ask the guests not to walk around in the room with high heels.

• Kelly from United Kingdom – 23 March 2025 (10/10)

  Great location, exceptionally clean and comfortable, fantastic host, good value for money. Complimentary toiletries and teas/coffees, nice little communal kitchen area to use. Wonderfully welcoming host.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing.

• Noah from United States – 22 March 2025 (9/10)

  Such a cute little room with complimentary muffins and water. It was a good location and a good time.
  
  What could be improved: There was a stain one one of the towels before we got there and it was pretty easy to hear the other people around you.

• Pritchard from United Kingdom – 19 March 2025 (10/10)

  The location couldn’t have been better, quiet area but very close walking distance to everything you would want to visit in Venice! The room was very clean, big comfy bed and complimentary coffee and muffins every day. The host was very friendly and welcoming.
  
  What could be improved: There was some noise through thins walls / ceilings but didn’t bother us.

• Marta from Spain – 9 March 2025 (10/10)

  Great location (super close to Rialto Bridge, which is very handy to get to the main island), room super cozy and quiet, also very clean and the host at the reception super nice and helpful. I will recommend it and if I ever go back to Venice I'll try and book this accommodation again!

• Maria from United States – 3 March 2025 (9/10)

  It was very clean

• Gabriele from Lithuania – 28 February 2025 (10/10)

  Amazing location – close to all sightseeing places. Everything was reachable on foot. The room was ready before the arrival and we were provided with the entrance code. We were informed on the arrival day a bit earlier that TV is not working and as a compensation were given a coupon for coffee and sweet in an amazing local cafeteria. Room had everything we needed including a nice terrace.
