Ca’ delle Vele

Hotel Description

Welcome to Ca’ delle Vele, a charming 3-star hotel 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 on Calle Larga Priuli, Ca’ delle Vele offers visitors a genuine Venetian experience away from the overwhelming tourist crowds while remaining conveniently accessible to the city’s most treasured attractions.

The Cannaregio district, where Ca’ delle Vele proudly stands, represents one of Venice’s most characteristic neighborhoods. This northern sestiere (district) is known for its peaceful canals, authentic local restaurants, and glimpses into everyday Venetian life. From the hotel’s strategic location at Calle Larga Priuli, guests can easily explore the nearby Jewish Ghetto—the world’s oldest—with its profound historical significance and distinctive architectural elements. The famous Ca’ d’Oro palace on the Grand Canal is within walking distance, showcasing one of the finest examples of Venetian Gothic architecture. For those interested in Venetian art, the nearby church of Madonna dell’Orto houses masterpieces by Tintoretto, who lived and is buried in this very district. The hotel’s position offers the perfect balance between accessibility and tranquility—just a pleasant stroll from the bustling Strada Nova with its shops and cafés, yet tucked away enough to provide a peaceful retreat after a day of exploration.

Ca’ delle Vele embodies the timeless charm of Venetian hospitality, housed in a building that respects the architectural traditions of the city while providing modern comforts. Its 8.2 rating speaks volumes about the positive experiences of previous guests, who consistently praise the attentive service and authentic atmosphere. The hotel serves as an ideal base for travelers seeking to immerse themselves in Venice’s rich tapestry of history, art, and culture. From here, guests can easily access vaporetto (water bus) stops to navigate the city via its famous waterways, or venture on foot through the labyrinthine streets that have inspired poets and artists for centuries. As evening falls, the Cannaregio district offers numerous osterie and bacari (traditional Venetian taverns and wine bars) where visitors can savor local cicchetti (appetizers) and regional wines away from the premium prices of more tourist-centric areas. Ca’ delle Vele doesn’t merely offer a place to stay in Venice—it provides an entry point to experiencing the authentic soul of this extraordinary floating city, where every canal, campo, and calle tells a story centuries in the making.

Reviews

• Mark from Germany – 5 March 2024 (9/10)

  We enjoyed our stay here! The apartment was spacious and had pretty much everything needed. The check-in and check-out was smooth and the hosts were able to answer all our questions throughout.
  
  The location was perfect, tucked away from loudness of the main street, bur with great walking access to anywhere in Venice.
  
  As some people mention before, some things are a bit old in the apartment, but in our opinion, it just adds to the charm of the place and creates a nice vintage atmosphere!!
  
  What could be improved: Some socket-plugs had the old entry holes, so certain devices couldn’t be plugged in. However, there were plenty of sockets with new type of entry holes, so that was not a big problem.

• Tuğba from Turkey – 6 October 2024 (9/10)

  It has spirit of venice, really close to p. san marco ( by walking 15 min. ). It was clean, comfortable.
  
  What could be improved: It was cold, heating system didnt work properly. We felt cold, i dont want to stay here in winter. They should fix it. Also inside of home was dark cause of narrow street but i think it is normal for venice.

• Valerie from United States – 5 October 2023 (7/10)

  Great location in a quiet area. Super easy to check in and out. Very large place with comfort.
  
  What could be improved: The a/c didn’t work during our stay so it was hot and if we opened the windows we would get bitten by mosquitoes. Other than that it was good

• Pengcheng from Germany – 19 July 2023 (8/10)

  The location of this apartment is very convenient.
  
  What could be improved: The air condition didn’t work good.

• Lin from United States – 6 May 2023 (8/10)

  Ca’ delle Vele is a very spacious 1bedroom apartment in a convenient location. it has a large bedroom and large living room/ eating area, bathroom and kitchen, and is supplied with many useful things, including a little dishwasher. The host was very responsive.
  
  What could be improved: The property has a couple of drawbacks—unless one went to a fair amount of effort to open the windows and shutters, it was pretty dark. With the windows and shutters open, noise came in from the little streets. The other difficulty was in finding it. Phones do not work for mapping in much of Venice’s narrow little alleys, and the host will need to remind renters to print out maps in advance.

• Batia from Australia – 25 September 2024 (9/10)

  Location was perfect
  
  What could be improved: The kitchen was really shabby

• Ralucamun from Romania – 21 August 2024 (7/10)

  What could be improved: The apartment needs a bit of a touch-up.

• Vladazzz from Serbia – 4 May 2024 (7/10)

  Location is excellent, easy to approach from all sides of town. Good restaurants in the neighborhood. Quiet street in the middle of Venice, equal distance from train station and most popular locations. City is beautiful. Accommodation depicts what is like to live in Venice.
  
  What could be improved: Light in the apartment could have been better. There was a small delay in collecting keys, which was resolved quickly. Hosts could not accommodate our request for earlier check in. I understand that check in and check out policies apply for hotels with multiple rooms, however between check out at 10am and check in at 3pm there is more than enough time to clean one apartment and prepare it for next guests.

• Norm from United States – 22 April 2023 (9/10)

  Perfect location for us . Easy to find . Map your route in advance , it was like one turn from the Dock A . We arrived early and were able to stash our luggage in the hallway . It is shared with only one other unit , felt ok for us . There also was a storage business very close , it's some where by the Irish Pub I think . Not brand new modern furniture , but was nice enough , my date said very charming .
  
  What could be improved: Light switches in dark hallway took a minute to find . I think I rang the bell to the other unit feeling around . Lol. Shower / tub was a little difficult changing to bath mode , needs grease , but nice comfy tub she said . . The curtains were sheer , had to open windows and the close the outside shutters to be comfortable for her to have our late night dance parties , not me though , I like showing off . There is a early procedure with setting out the garbage , we sleep in . But we found a can by the Irish Pub and the very little we had , went there , If you have a lot of luggage , it is a bit of a challenge with some bridges to and from the water bus , but that is the nature of Venice , Pack light , then pack lighter . The Apartment is in a great spot , very worth the hassle .

• Matti from Finland – 21 August 2023 (8/10)

  The location was perfect. Close to the big tourist attractions, yet the street was very quiet. Fonte de Nove vaporetto stop was very close for easy access to all vaporettos to airport, Lido, Murano etc. Building and apartment was beautiful, just like in the pictures. Check in was very smooth.
  
  What could be improved: Air conditioning was a bit confusing, with a don’t touch note, yet some switches were marked “ok”. We were unsure, if it was ok to use the air conditioner or not.
