2960 Cà Frari Venezia

Hotel Description

Welcome to the enchanting 2960 Cà Frari Venezia, a charming three-star hotel nestled in the heart of historic Venice. This well-appointed establishment has earned an impressive 8.5 rating from satisfied guests, making it one of the more highly regarded accommodations in the San Polo district. Located at 2960 Corte delle Scale in the San Polo neighborhood, this hotel offers an authentic Venetian experience away from the overwhelming tourist crowds while remaining conveniently accessible to the city’s most treasured attractions. The hotel’s position in San Polo, one of Venice’s oldest and most characterful districts, places guests just steps away from the magnificent Frari Church (Basilica di Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari), an architectural masterpiece housing priceless works by Titian and other Renaissance masters. The name “Cà Frari” itself references this proximity, with “Cà” being the Venetian dialect for “house” or “home,” offering guests a true home near the Frari.

The 2960 Cà Frari Venezia strikes the perfect balance between traditional Venetian charm and modern comfort. The hotel occupies a lovingly restored historic building, where original architectural elements blend harmoniously with contemporary amenities to create a welcoming atmosphere. The well-maintained interior spaces reflect Venice’s rich cultural heritage while providing all the conveniences modern travelers expect from a quality three-star establishment. With its exceptional 8.5 rating, guests consistently praise the hotel’s attentive service, cleanliness, and attention to detail. The accommodations offer a peaceful retreat after days spent exploring Venice’s labyrinthine streets and canals, with rooms that capture the romantic essence of the floating city. From the hotel, guests can easily walk to the famous Rialto Bridge and its vibrant market, or take a leisurely stroll to the iconic St. Mark’s Square. For those wishing to experience Venice like a local, the surrounding San Polo district offers authentic restaurants, artisanal shops, and quiet campos (squares) where you can sit at a café and watch Venetian life unfold away from the main tourist routes.

What truly sets 2960 Cà Frari Venezia apart is its authentic position within Venice’s fabric. Unlike hotels in more touristy areas, staying at Cà Frari allows guests to experience the rhythm of genuine Venetian life while still enjoying proximity to major attractions. The hotel’s location in Corte delle Scale (literally “Court of the Stairs”) hints at the charming architectural quirks that make Venice so unique. From here, guests can explore the lesser-known treasures of the San Polo district, including small churches with remarkable artworks, traditional bacari (wine bars) serving delicious cicchetti (Venetian tapas), and picturesque bridges spanning quiet canals where gondolas glide by. Water bus stops are within easy walking distance, connecting guests to other districts, the train station, and even the outlying islands of Murano, Burano, and Torcello. With its stellar 8.5 rating, convenient location, and genuine Venetian character, 2960 Cà Frari Venezia offers an ideal base for both first-time visitors and returning travelers who wish to discover—or rediscover—the timeless magic of Venice in comfort and style.

Reviews

• Shefali from Italy – 18 September 2024 (9/10)

  The place was located in the best neighbourhood. Close to the main attractions but still detached from too many tourists. Has lots of cafes and bars around. It was very cozy and comfortable and the host was great

• Valéry from France – 13 March 2025 (9/10)

  Perfect location while on a vert quiet place, super nice host who welcomed us, very reactive for questions and help if needed
  
  What could be improved: No much to say, shower and toilet a bit short in space but that’s okay despite I’m tall.

• Alisa from Finland – 7 August 2024 (8/10)

  The location was fabulous for us, tucked away in an area that's not super over run by other tourists. The AC in the bedroom worked really well and was a must during the summer.
  
  What could be improved: The kitchen AC unit didn't work very well. Also would have been handy to have a kitchen towel and a cloth to wipe the table.

• Julie from Australia – 23 October 2023 (9/10)

  Davide met us at the apartment to give us the key and provide information on the venue and locality. We appreciated the pastries provided on a arrival. The apartment is large and well equipped, in a quiet cul de sac, and very close to the San Toma vaporetto stop, with no bridges to cross on the way to it. It is close to a supermarket, good food shops/cafes and the Frari church, and only a short walk to the station. The bed is comfortable, the hot water is plentiful with good pressure. The apartment offers excellent value for money.
  
  What could be improved: The microwave is in a position that makes it difficult to access, there were no tea towels in the kitchen and the position of the toilet and the small size of the shower alcove could present very large people with a challenge. Although there was a large wardrobe in the bedroom, it was full of bedding and there was no drawer space available in the room.

• Sandra from Lebanon – 9 June 2023 (8/10)

  central location just off from the frari church. walking distance to all parts of Venice. ground level apartment. short walk to san Toma stop and 10 mn walk from the train station. local vibe. Davide has kindly put some breakfast pastry and croissant for us and pointed us to some local eateries which was very helpful to have great eating experiences . kids played in the courtyard outside in the morning.
  
  What could be improved: could be better equipped in some things ( iron board, more toilet paper/ tissue for a 5 days’ stay, more mosquito plugs/ vape), moskito nets ect.

• Thuy from Vietnam – 16 June 2022 (9/10)

  everything was perfect
  
  What could be improved: nothings

• Vinod from Mauritius – 25 July 2024 (8/10)

  Good location for those doing walking tours.
  
  10 to 15 mins walking to the main attractions
  Davide gave us good tips.
  
  2960 Ca Frari apartment was on ground floor so that was great for us.
  
  WiFi at lighting speed. 300+
  
  Overall a very pleasant stay.
  
  What could be improved: The shower cubicle tiny. However got very good hot water pressure which is more important.

• Peter from United Kingdom – 17 July 2024 (9/10)

  The location is brilliant with bars, supermarkets, restaurants all close by. The Frari square is easy to reach on foot from station and we were met and welcomed by the friendly host. As a family of 4 the well equipped kitchen was great. Space for us all to chill out in the heat.

• Alexander from Czech Republic – 25 March 2024 (9/10)

  The host, Davide, is very friendly and helpful. Location is excellent. Literally across the road from the Frari, one of Venice's largest and most interesting churches. The San Toma vaporetto stop – from where you can get a boat easily in either direction – is less than 5 minutes' walk away.
  
  What could be improved: I do a lot of cooking! I would have preferred slightly better knives and some kind of blender/mixer. Also a toaster would be great 🙂

• Bay from United States – 29 May 2023 (8/10)

  Comfortable beds. Good location. Fairly quiet. Had kitchen and refrigerator. Spacious.
  
  What could be improved: Shower was too small. You can't bend over. No shelf in the shower to put your stuff on.
  No room for your legs when sitting on the toilet. If you are over 6 feet tall, it will not work
  No place to hand towels to dry.
  Very dark place.
