Ca’ Boldo – San Polo — Au Coeur de Venise – True Venice

Hotel Description

Welcome to Ca’ Boldo – San Polo — Au Coeur de Venise – True Venice, a charming three-star gem nestled in the heart of Venice’s historic center. This exceptional property, boasting an impressive 9.0 rating from satisfied guests, offers an authentic Venetian experience that perfectly balances comfort, location, and traditional Italian hospitality. Situated in the characteristic Sestier de San Polo district at Santa Croce, 30125, this hotel places you in one of Venice’s oldest and most enchanting neighborhoods. The San Polo area is renowned for its winding streets, picturesque canals, and genuine local atmosphere away from the more touristic paths, yet remains conveniently accessible to Venice’s most celebrated attractions.

From Ca’ Boldo, you’ll find yourself just a short stroll from the magnificent Rialto Bridge, one of Venice’s most iconic landmarks spanning the Grand Canal. The hotel’s strategic position in the Santa Croce area means you’re perfectly situated between the bustling commercial district around Rialto and the artistic treasures of the Scuola Grande di San Rocco, which houses masterpieces by Tintoretto. The famous Campo San Polo, Venice’s second-largest public square after St. Mark’s, is within easy walking distance, offering a delightful space where locals gather and seasonal events take place throughout the year. The extraordinary 9.0 rating reflects the exceptional experience guests enjoy at this well-positioned hotel, with past visitors consistently praising its authentic Venetian character, attentive service, and unbeatable location that provides the perfect base for exploring this magical floating city.

True to its name “Au Coeur de Venise” (At the Heart of Venice), this hotel offers guests the rare opportunity to experience Venice as a local rather than a tourist. The property likely resides in a traditional Venetian building, potentially a converted palazzo that maintains its historic charm while providing modern comforts. Whether you’re setting out to discover iconic attractions like St. Mark’s Square and the Doge’s Palace (both easily accessible by a scenic walk or vaporetto ride), exploring the nearby Frari Church with its artistic masterpieces, or simply getting lost in the labyrinth of canals and alleyways that make Venice so bewitching, Ca’ Boldo serves as your perfect home base. The exceptionally high 9.0 rating suggests superior attention to detail, cleanliness, and guest satisfaction that elevates this three-star establishment to rival many higher-category hotels. Visitors seeking an authentic, well-located Venetian experience without the premium price tag of canal-front luxury hotels will find Ca’ Boldo – San Polo an ideal choice for immersing themselves in the true Venice, where centuries of history, art, and culture await around every corner and bridge. As evening falls, return from your adventures to this welcoming haven in San Polo, perhaps stopping at one of the neighborhood’s celebrated bacari (traditional Venetian wine bars) for cicchetti and a spritz before retiring to your comfortable accommodation in the heart of one of the world’s most extraordinary cities.

  location is perfect. Quiet zone, 5 min walk to vaporetto Line1, two marvellous piazzas near buy with excellent trattorias, COOP, and cafe shops. The appartment is very comfortable, sunny, and fully equipped. Kitchen is perfect.
  
  What could be improved: The TV could be upgraded to a smart TV and this is the only I can think as improvement.

• Marjory from United Kingdom – 8 July 2024 (9/10)

  The location was excellent slightly off the beaten track but very close to excellent local shops and restaurants which we prefer to a busy tourist area. The apartment was lovely and the views superb.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing

  What could be improved: the bed (two singles attached together to make a single) super uncomfortable

• Ivan from United Kingdom – 14 November 2022 (9/10)

  This was a beautiful apartment in the center of Venice with easy access to all areas. Paola was great and met me when I go a little lost with maps. Be warned that Maps can be a little inaccurate at times. Still great.
  
  The apartment was clean and had all that I needed. It was spacious and as advertised. The views are lovely (I'm a photographer so it's important to me).
  
  It was tranquil and well-decorated.
  
  There's a supermarket only 5 minutes' walk away that has all you need for your stay so if you're on a budget, this is excellent.
  
  Communication was great.
  
  What could be improved: Even with Maps, it was tricky to find. However, that was an issue with maps. Paola had to come and meet me when I got close. I think an ariel photo with 'x' marks the spot would help in future.
  
  Only two rings on the cooker were working and this was explained. It wasn't too bad.
  
  On the first night the heating didn't seem to work and the owner came around to help. This was very much appreciated. The second night the same and I had to keep increasing the temperature. No big shakes.
  
  I'm a very clean person, but the obsession with how recycling works here is a big negative for me and the fact that you have to make sure you're in for rubbish collection is not good. How everthing has to be separated. There really needs to be a better process. I'm here on holiday, not to learn and practice recycling. I do all that in my normal life. Also, it states that if you can't be in, there's a local drop off point but I could not find it and in the end, a kind shopkeeper took my rubbish. Again, an ariel photo map with 'x' marks the spot or a maps pin location would be great.
  
  To be asked to leave the kitchen in the way you found it seems unreasonable to me as cleaning the apartment should be in the price. I ran two airbnb properties in Brighton for a few years and we always had cleaners in. It's part of the service provided. So was not happy about feeling like I had to be their cleaner. As I had to leave at 4.30am, it's impractical to expect the final rubbish to be taken care of. This need to be fixed.
