Boldù Terrace

Hotel Description

Welcome to Boldù Terrace, a charming three-star retreat nestled in the heart of Venice’s authentic Cannaregio district. This well-appointed establishment has earned an impressive 8.2 rating from satisfied guests, reflecting its commitment to quality service and comfortable accommodations. Situated at Cannaregio 4990, this delightful hotel offers visitors a genuine Venetian experience away from the overwhelming tourist crowds while maintaining convenient access to the city’s most celebrated attractions. The Cannaregio neighborhood, known for its picturesque canals and local atmosphere, provides an intimate glimpse into authentic Venetian life that many visitors miss when staying in more touristy areas. From Boldù Terrace, guests can easily explore the Jewish Ghetto—the world’s first ghetto and a historically significant area with unique architecture and cultural heritage—or stroll along the scenic Fondamenta della Misericordia with its vibrant restaurants and bars frequented by locals.

The Boldù Terrace distinguishes itself with its strategic location that balances tranquility and accessibility. A short walk from the hotel brings guests to the Grand Canal, while the famous Rialto Bridge can be reached in approximately 15 minutes on foot. Venice’s magnificent St. Mark’s Square, housing the breathtaking Basilica and Doge’s Palace, is just a pleasant 25-minute walk away—or guests can opt for a romantic vaporetto (water bus) ride along the Grand Canal to reach this iconic destination. The hotel’s position in Cannaregio also offers easy access to the Santa Lucia train station and Piazzale Roma (the city’s main transport hub), making arrivals and departures convenient for travelers. The neighborhood itself reveals Venice’s less-touristed side, with hidden gems like the Church of Madonna dell’Orto, the Ca’ d’Oro palace, and numerous authentic bacari (traditional Venetian wine bars) where visitors can sample cicchetti (Venetian tapas) alongside locals. The nearby Fondamente Nove waterbus stop also provides direct connections to the enchanting islands of Murano, famous for its glass-making traditions, and Burano, renowned for its colorful houses and lace production.

The well-regarded 8.2 rating of Boldù Terrace speaks to the hotel’s ability to deliver a memorable Venetian experience that keeps guests returning and recommending it to fellow travelers. While maintaining the characteristic charm of Venetian architecture and decor, the hotel offers modern amenities that ensure a comfortable stay. Its namesake terrace likely provides a delightful space where guests can enjoy breakfast or evening aperitifs while soaking in the unique atmosphere of Venice’s rooftops and distant bell towers. The knowledgeable staff, familiar with the intricacies of navigating Venice beyond the standard tourist paths, can direct guests to authentic local restaurants serving traditional Venetian cuisine and hidden corners of the neighborhood where one might witness the rhythms of everyday Venetian life. As a three-star establishment in one of the world’s most beloved tourist destinations, Boldù Terrace offers a perfect balance of comfort, authenticity, and accessibility that appeals to discerning travelers seeking to experience the true essence of Venice while enjoying quality accommodations at a reasonable value.

Reviews

• Lauren from United Kingdom – 16 May 2023 (9/10)

  Everyone was very helpful, the views were amazing and there is lots of space on the terrace!
  
  What could be improved: We struggled to find the cutlery down itinerary note where items are located could be helpful. curtains or blinds for the big window/door would have helped with privacy too.

• Janina from Germany – 12 June 2024 (8/10)

  Amazing view over the Laguna, quiet surrounding. Super nice apartement in an old house, cool equipment.
  
  What could be improved: In my opinion the terrace isn't equipped so well.. you have this amazing view over the laguna and after a busy day in Venice you may want to relax there. The space would be there, but there's only two ugly uncomfortable chairs and a tiny table. You could do something so pretty with the space and also put sunbeds out or else. It's a waste of space and everytime we sat outside and enjoyed the view we were sad that it wasn't equipped well enough :/

• Charlee from United Kingdom – 16 April 2022 (7/10)

  The view from terrace was stunning and the staff were accommodating even when we arrived slightly late. Authentic feel to the apartment and location.
  
  What could be improved: The apartment was further away from the main centre than we expected, which meant lots of walking. However, this did give a good idea of venezian culture, away from the main tourist attractions which was nice. The apartment was okay for what we needed it for but it could do with some finishing touches to make it feel more comfortable and welcoming.

• Sue from Italy – 6 November 2024 (5/10)

  Authentic
  
  What could be improved: Too expensive

• Silvia from Germany – 3 November 2024 (9/10)

  Der Ausblick von allen Zimmern und die Einrichtung.

• Camin from France – 26 July 2024 (9/10)

  La terrasse et la vue à 180 degrés sur la Sacca della Misericordia (petit port de plaisance où les Vénitiens garent leurs bateaux), les îles Murano et San Michele, les Alpes au loin, et malheureusement aussi l'aéroport et Porto Marghera (raffinerie de pétrole) en arrière plan!!!
  Côté sud on voit aussi le campaniles de San Marco, San Georgio Maggiore…, j'ai pu aussi admirer le feu d'artifice de la "Festa del Redentore" depuis la fenêtre de la chambre!
  
  What could be improved: Le rio qui longe l'immeuble est la passage obligé de 80% des taxis allant et venant de l'aéroport, cela crée une animation certaine mais cela finit par être très bruyant, il y a un gros traffic de 6 heures du matin à 2 heures du matin ; on voit aussi (et l'on entend) les avions à l'atterrissage et il y a un très gros traffic!!
  En bref c'est très animé mais à déconseiller si l'on recherche la tranquilité!

• Catrin from Germany – 9 August 2024 (8/10)

  Schlüsselübergabe lief problemlos übers Telefon.
  Sehr schöne Aussicht von der Terrasse, gute Lage. Schnell an allen Linien (Vaporetto), auch zu Fuß, kein Problem. Alles wie auf den Bildern beschrieben.
  
  What could be improved: Das Bett war zu schmal, für 2 Erwachsene nur 1.40m breit und sehr hart. Ausstattung für den Preis etwas dürftig.

• Ulrich from Germany – 19 October 2022 (9/10)

  durften wir eine Woche genießen. Wer die 90 Treppenstufen nicht scheut, auf TV und Geschirrspüler verzichten kann, hat hier die richtige Wohnung gefunden. Zweckmäßig eingerichtet und abseits der Touristenströme. Aber mitten im Geschehen von Vaparetto, Marktbooten und vielem mehr.
  Morgens das Frühstück und abends ein Glas Wein mit dem Ausblick auf Murano, genial. Die Alilaguna-Linie vom Flughafen hält fünf Minuten entfernt (Fondamente Nove) und zu Fuß sind es ca. 15 Minuten bis zur Rialtobrücke. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

• Carmen from Germany – 29 August 2022 (9/10)

  Die Lage ist sehr gut !
  Wir kommen nächstes Jahr wieder !!!
  Sobald wir für September buchen können.
  
  What could be improved: Keine Beanstandungen ; )
