Ca’ del Sol

Hotel Description

Nestled in the enchanting Santa Croce district of Venice, the three-star Ca’ del Sol offers travelers an authentic Venetian experience combined with comfortable accommodations. With an impressive rating of 8.2, this well-reviewed establishment has established itself as a reliable choice for visitors seeking to immerse themselves in the timeless beauty of Italy’s floating city. Located at 1365 Salizada de Ca’ Zusto, the hotel enjoys a privileged position in one of Venice’s more residential sestieri (districts), providing guests with a glimpse into local Venetian life while remaining conveniently connected to the city’s major attractions.

The Santa Croce area where Ca’ del Sol is situated offers a delightful balance between accessibility and tranquility, away from the most crowded tourist paths yet still within comfortable walking distance to Venice’s treasures. From the hotel, guests can easily reach the magnificent Grand Canal, with its parade of gondolas and water taxis slicing through the emerald waters. The district is known for housing important landmarks such as the San Giacomo dell’Orio church, one of Venice’s oldest places of worship featuring stunning examples of Venetian-Byzantine architecture, and the nearby Natural History Museum housed in the grand Fondaco dei Turchi. The Salizada de Ca’ Zusto itself is a characteristic Venetian street, where the rhythmic lapping of canal waters provides a soothing soundtrack to your Venetian adventure. For visitors arriving from the mainland, the hotel’s Santa Croce location offers relatively straightforward access from Piazzale Roma (the city’s main transport hub) or the train station, a convenience not to be underestimated in a city where navigation can sometimes be challenging.

Ca’ del Sol, with its commendable 8.2 rating, represents excellent value in a city known for its premium accommodation prices. The name itself, evoking the “House of the Sun,” hints at the warm welcome awaiting guests who choose this well-regarded establishment. While maintaining the charm and architectural character typical of Venetian buildings, the three-star property balances traditional elements with modern comforts that today’s travelers expect. Venice is a city where the choice of accommodation significantly impacts your experience – staying at Ca’ del Sol places you in a position to explore the labyrinthine streets and discover hidden campi (squares), local bacari (wine bars), and authentic restaurants frequented more by locals than tourists. From early morning when the Venetian light begins to play across the centuries-old buildings, to evenings when the city takes on a magical quality as lanterns reflect on the canals, Ca’ del Sol serves as an ideal base for experiencing the multi-faceted character of Venice. Whether you’re a first-time visitor eager to see iconic sites like St. Mark’s Square and the Rialto Bridge (both accessible via pleasant walks or convenient vaporetto water bus connections), or a returning traveler looking to discover the less-touristed faces of Venice, this well-situated hotel in Santa Croce provides a comfortable and authentic launching point for your Venetian adventures.

Reviews

• Lani from United States – 29 November 2024 (9/10)

  This apartment was perfect for us. It was convenient to the train station and the vaporretto and we enjoyed walking all over Venice directly from the property. There was a nice little market close by which was very convenient. Being able to do a little bit of laundry was really helpful. We wished we had more time to enjoy the pleasant little courtyard!
  
  What could be improved: We could occasionally hear a little bit of noise from a neighbor or someone passing by on the street but thankfully the area around the apartment is generally very quiet.

• John from Australia – 26 March 2025 (8/10)

  A comfortable and well equipped flat. We had a problem with heating the flat but the managers sorted it out quickly and to our satisfaction.
  
  What could be improved: The central heating needed adjustment and there were no extra blankets but the managers sorted out both issues.

• Vicki from United Kingdom – 15 October 2024 (8/10)

  Good location, lots within walking distance – 3 mins to nearest ACTV water taxi stop, grocery shop and restaurants within 3 mins in the other direction, 15 mins to Rialto Bridge.
  Apartment was comfortable and well-equippef for 4 travellers.
  
  What could be improved: Apartment maybe needs a little fresh paint – and some more mirrors please for us ladies especially!
  We were disappointed to find that the upstairs 'bathroom' was a toilet, bidet and washbasin but not shower, meaning that the only shower was in the downstairs bathroom over the bath. This was not clear from the description, although it may have got lost in translation.

• Xhensila from Albania – 10 June 2024 (9/10)

  The location was great, only 15 minutes on foot from the Grand Canal. You could find great restaurants really close to the house and a supermarket only a couple minutes away. The house was spacious and comfortable. The host was really nice to us, he let us check in much earlier and gave really helpful suggestions for our stay. We really liked the inner courtyard, had our breakfast there in the mornings.
  
  What could be improved: The house was generally clean but it could have been better, it wasn't properly swept.

• Paavo from Estonia – 25 June 2023 (1/10)

  The location was good, close to the train station and bus terminal.
  
  What could be improved: The AC made a tractor noise when on cooling mode and it made it impossible to sleep. The windows did not have mosquito nets on them so we could not open the windows for fresh air as well. In addition the apartment was very poorly cleaned. Very poor experience.

• Daniel from Argentina – 9 February 2025 (9/10)

  La ubicación la amplitud, la calefacción, las camas. La predisposición para solucionar una modificación en la reserva (Booking debería tener una manera más sencilla de agregar una noche. Tuve que llamar a Booking de Inglaterra y hablar con una operadora en inglés, porque no hablaba español).
  
  What could be improved: Faltaría un Smart TV y (algo insólito) no hay un microondas. El único baño con ducha se encuentra en la planta inferior, mientras que las habitaciones están en la superior, lo que vuelve algo engorroso el tomar un baño.

• Paolo from Italy – 30 December 2024 (8/10)

  Struttura nuova e curata
  
  What could be improved: Nulla

• Lisa from Austria – 26 October 2023 (8/10)

  Das Apartment liegt in einer ruhigen Gegend, gegenüber eines Restaurants. Der Supermarkt ist naheliegend und bis zur nächsten Wasserbus-Station sind es auch nur ein paar Minuten zu Fuß . Es war alles sehr schön eingerichtet und von der Größe her übertreffend.
  
  What could be improved: Die einzelnen Betten in einem der Schlafzimmer waren von geringer Qualität, man könnte eher sagen, dass es wackelnde Massagebetten wie von einem Schönheitssalon waren. Die Klimaanlagen in den beiden Schlafzimmern waren auffallend geräuschvoll, so dass wir nicht in Ruhe schlafen konnten.

• Iñigo from Spain – 23 June 2023 (9/10)

  Muy céntrico y accesible. Amplio y confortable. Tranquilo. Cerca de parada de vaporetto y buena pizzeria cerca.
  
  What could be improved: Todo bien en general pero no tenía microondas y se hubiera agradecido.
  
  El tema de tirar la basura tampoco quedaba claro y en nuestro tejado. Muy complicado llevando maletas y niñas.

• Domenica from Italy – 20 October 2024 (7/10)
