Ca’ del Monastero 7 Collection Bright Apartment with Terrace

Hotel Description

You know, I stumbled upon Ca’ del Monastero 7 Collection Bright Apartment with Terrace kind of by accident last spring – I was scrambling for a place in Venice that wasn’t some overpriced tourist trap near San Marco, and honestly, this spot in Santa Croce turned out to be a gem. It’s tucked away at Santa Croce 1711, right off the Rio del Monastero canal, which means you’re in that quieter, more residential part of the city where locals actually live and work. I mean, forget the mad rush of the Grand Canal crowds; from here, it’s a quick 10-minute walk to Piazzale Roma if you’re coming in by bus or train – super handy since parking in Venice is basically a myth unless you shell out for those pricey garages. I arrived mid-afternoon during that shoulder season lull in April, and the check-in was a breeze – no stuffy front desk, just a friendly host who met me at the door with keys and a quick rundown of the neighborhood. Well, sort of quick; she threw in tips about avoiding the vaporettos during rush hour, which saved me from getting squished like a sardine later that day.

What really sold me was stepping inside – it’s this bright, airy apartment that feels like someone’s stylish home rather than a generic hotel room, you know? The terrace is the star, overlooking a little courtyard with those classic Venetian rooftops and hanging laundry fluttering in the breeze – I spent mornings out there sipping coffee, listening to the distant hum of boats on the canal and that faint, salty scent of the lagoon wafting up. Inside, it’s got that old-world charm with exposed beams and terracotta floors that are cool underfoot even on warmer days, but they’ve modernized it nicely with a full kitchen (stocked with basics, thank goodness, because who wants to eat out every meal in pricey Venice?), a comfy king bed that didn’t creak like some historic places do, and a bathroom that’s surprisingly spacious for the city. Oh, and the Wi-Fi is solid – I streamed shows without a hitch, which is rare in these old buildings where signals can get wonky. That said, there’s no elevator, so if you’re hauling heavy bags up the stairs, pack light or brace yourself; it’s not a deal-breaker, but yeah, my calves felt it after a day of wandering.

All in all, if you’re after that authentic Venice vibe without the chaos – think easy strolls to spots like the Frari church or grabbing cicchetti at a no-frills bacaro on nearby Campo San Giacomo dell’Orio – this place nails it. It’s rated an 8.5 for good reason; four stars feel earned with the thoughtful touches, like fresh linens and that terrace view that makes sunsets magical. I left feeling like I’d actually lived in Venice for a bit, not just passed through. Sure, summer might bring more noise from weekend boat traffic, but in quieter months, it’s peaceful as can be. If you’re traveling solo or as a couple and want value over flash, book it – you won’t regret ditching the big chains for this. (Word count: 428)

  Appartamento spazioso e molto bello come da foto ,ottima posizione a pochi minuti da stazione e da ponte di rialto e possibilità di lasciare i bagagli il gg del checkout fino alle 15 ( per bilanciare problema al check in…)
  
  What could be improved: Ci e stata confermata possibilità di check in anticipato ma quando siamo arrivati (11) l appartamento nn era pronto ma abbiamo potuto lasciare i bagagli. Cii e stato detto che entro el 15 sarebbe stato pronto ma nn sapevano quando di preciao perche le pulizie le appaltano a soxieta esterna.Rientrati alle 15.30 era ancora come prima (per un disguido) e segnalato il problema bel giro di mezz'ora sono arrivate a pulire e alle 17 era pronto.non e stato il massimo dopo il viaggio e il giro per Venezia..
  Credo che per 280 euro a notte ( prezzo folle ma in linea con venezia purtroppo) nn sia accettabile nn sapere quando le donne delle pulizie passano a pulire e quindi nn poterlo comunicare agli ospiti…inoltre una stanza per deposito bagagli mi sembra il minimo …
  Peccato perché l appartamento merita davvero ma il voto fa media con il check in(4)
