Cà dei Dalmati – the Blue Canal View

Hotel Description

Nestled in the historic heart of Venice, the exquisite Cà dei Dalmati – the Blue Canal View stands as a testament to Venetian elegance and comfort. This distinguished 4-star establishment offers guests an authentic taste of Venetian luxury while providing modern amenities expected by discerning travelers. Located in the charming Sestiere di Castello, one of Venice’s most authentic neighborhoods, this hotel combines traditional Venetian architecture with contemporary comforts. With an impressive rating of 9.0, Cà dei Dalmati has established itself as one of the premier accommodations in Venice, consistently delighting guests with its exceptional service and breathtaking views. The hotel’s name—”the Blue Canal View”—offers a tantalizing hint of the visual feast that awaits visitors from their windows: the mesmerizing azure waters of Venice’s iconic canals, where gondolas glide silently past centuries-old buildings.

Situated in the Castello district, the easternmost of Venice’s six sestieri, Cà dei Dalmati places guests in an ideal position to explore both famous landmarks and hidden treasures of La Serenissima. The hotel’s address in Castello grants convenient access to St. Mark’s Square (Piazza San Marco), merely a leisurely 10-minute stroll away. Along the way, visitors can discover the impressive Arsenale—once the powerful naval shipyard of the Venetian Republic—and the magnificent Church of San Zaccaria with its Renaissance facade and priceless artworks. The Castello area offers a refreshing glimpse into authentic Venetian life, away from the most tourist-heavy zones, while still providing easy access to all of Venice’s must-see attractions. The nearby Riva degli Schiavoni waterfront promenade presents spectacular views across the lagoon to San Giorgio Maggiore island, especially magical during sunset hours. Art enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to the Biennale Gardens, home to Venice’s renowned international art exhibition, while history buffs can explore the lesser-known corners of a district that has witnessed centuries of Venetian history.

What truly sets Cà dei Dalmati – the Blue Canal View apart, beyond its strategic location and historical surroundings, is the exceptional quality that has earned it its outstanding 9.0 rating. This remarkable score reflects the hotel’s commitment to excellence in every aspect of the guest experience. The property likely features rooms and suites adorned with traditional Venetian décor—perhaps Murano glass chandeliers, rich fabrics, and elegant furnishings—while offering modern conveniences that ensure a comfortable stay. The “Blue Canal View” in its name suggests that many rooms offer enchanting vistas of Venice’s waterways, providing guests with their own private glimpse of the city’s aquatic arteries that have defined Venetian life for centuries. The high rating also indicates exceptional staff service—attentive, knowledgeable locals who can direct guests to authentic restaurants serving the city’s specialized cuisine or arrange private water taxi services for exploring the Grand Canal and outlying islands like Murano, Burano, and Torcello. Whether you’re seeking a romantic getaway, a cultural exploration, or a luxurious retreat, Cà dei Dalmati offers a quintessentially Venetian experience in one of the city’s most character-filled neighborhoods, promising memories that will linger long after your return home.

Reviews

• Daniel from United States – 12 October 2023 (9/10)

  Beautiful apartment, perfect location, and staff was very helpful and personable. Loved the French doors opening out to view of the canal and the blue tooth speaker for playing music. Very nice decor, good A/C. Every bedroom has its own bathroom.
  
  Two great points about the location: There is a grocery store less than 100 meters away. And we were able to get a water taxi up our canal from the airport right to the apartment. No walking and dragging luggage through Venice. The staff arranged another pickup for our departure.
  
  What could be improved: No issues, everything was great. There is a washing machine which is nice but no clothes dryer. But that's wasn't a big deal. We hung up things to dry.

• Quentin from United Kingdom – 23 February 2025 (9/10)

  A beautiful apartment, set right in the heart of Venice, but away from the very crowded areas. However, St Mark's Sq is only 10 minutes walk away, and all the main sights are easily reached by walking or water bus. Ospedale water bus stop (for the airport water bus) is only 10 minutes walk away. February in Venice was cold, but the apartment was toasty, and there was plenty of hot water in the three en suite bathrooms. Super visit!
  
  What could be improved: Can't think of anything. The hosts have gone to a lot of effort to ensure a comfortable stay.

• Wendy from United Kingdom – 11 April 2024 (9/10)

  The apartment is decorated and furnished in the most beautiful way.
  It’s very spacious and in a fantastic location.

• Alan from United Kingdom – 23 March 2024 (9/10)

  Great option for 3 couples with an ensuite for each bedroom. Comfortable beds, powerful showers. Lounge and kitchen area worked well for us.
  
  Ilaria kindly arranged water taxis which arrived on time and at the correct price as quoted.
  
  Recommend a morning coffee and pastry at Pasticceria Alla Bragora.
  
  What could be improved: Curtains needed in bridge view room to block light from windows overlooking the pavement.

• Therese from Australia – 2 October 2023 (9/10)

  An exceptional three bedroom apartment with each bedroom having their own ensuite and one bedroom housing a clothes washing machine. The interior design is both beautiful and comfortable. Every bedroom has a view of the canal. The new kitchen is well appointed with a dishwasher and two burner cooktop. The main living area has two large doors (with a small balcony) that opens to the canal. It was lovely to sit and watch local Venice life from here. Staying in this part of Venice felt was like staying with the locals but close enough to walk to all the main attractions and the ferry's. No frantic crowds. We were a group of six adults travelling together and Ca Dei Dalmati was perfect for us. Staying here was the accommodation highlight of our trip. Thank you for the experience.
  
  What could be improved: There is nothing we found to be negative about staying here.

• Hanneke from Netherlands – 10 July 2023 (9/10)

  We stayed with 5 for 4 days. What a tastful and with love decorated spacious appartment. Perfect location. It couldn't be better. Clean, well equiped, worth the money.

• Glenn from Australia – 5 December 2024 (6/10)

  Lots of lighting in the apartment
  
  Well equipped kitchen
  
  Reliable high speed internet (wifi)
  
  What could be improved: Apartment not as spacious as shown in the photos. Also, the "Canal view" (which seems to be a marketing tactic as it is contained on the "The Blue Canal View" as advertised in the apartment name) is nothing to shout about.
  
  Washing machine in the apartment was not working when we checked in. The Landlord informed us that the person immediately before our stay had reported the washing machine as not being operarational on the weekend hencen it could not be repaired by the time we checked in on a Sunday. The machine had still not been repaired when we checked out 2 days later. However, no compensation or discount was forthcoming or offered to us by the Landlord for the inconvenience caused.
  
  No TV set in the apartment.
  
  Upon Check in, the Landlord informed us that we would not be able to adjust the Heater temperature for the apartment on our own. If we wanted to reduce or increase the apartment heating, we would need to request for her to do so. The Landlord informed us that this was because previous users of the apartment had damaged the heating equipment previously. This is the first time I have ever come across a situation where I needed to request the Landlord for heater temperature adjustment!
  
  No lift access to the apartment and the flight of stairs leading to the apartment is steep and narrow at some points. For anyone with bulky luggage, this may make it difficult to carry larger/heavier luggages to/from the apartment.

• Anonymous from United States – 28 June 2023 (9/10)

  A very nice location. Liked that it was away from the very crowded tourist areas.
  Spacious apartment. Comfortable beds. Very nicely decorated. En suite bath in each room. Lovely views.
  Hosts were very accommodating and helpful. Easy to get to apt by water taxi.
  Highly recommend.
  
  What could be improved: I have no negatives

• Klaartje from Netherlands – 8 April 2024 (9/10)

  Het is een fijn appartement en vooral de slaapkamers zijn lekker ruim. Hele fijne douche! De ligging is ook heel goed, lekker rustig maar toch overal dichtbij en veel restaurants e.d. in de buurt. En aankomen met de watertaxi vanaf het vliegveld is echt heel erg leuk.
  
  What could be improved: De inductieplaat was stuk en dat was onhandig op het moment dat een van ons niet lekker was en thuis wilde blijven 's avonds. Dat was niet op te lossen omdat het Pasen was. De huiskamer is iets kleiner dan je op de foto's zou denken. Verder was alles prima.
