Ca Giardino – Venetian Family

Hotel Description

Welcome to Ca Giardino – Venetian Family, a charming three-star gem nestled in the heart of Venice’s distinctive Giudecca district. This exceptional property has earned an outstanding 9.2 rating from satisfied guests, making it one of the most highly-regarded accommodations in this storied Italian city. Located at Calle della Scuola 4 in Giudecca, Ca Giardino offers visitors a unique perspective on Venetian life, away from the bustling tourist centers yet easily accessible to all the city’s renowned attractions. The Giudecca area provides an authentic glimpse into local Venetian culture, situated on its own island within the Venetian lagoon. From this privileged location, guests can enjoy panoramic views of the main island of Venice while experiencing the peaceful rhythm of traditional Venetian neighborhood life. The hotel’s name, “Ca Giardino,” hints at one of its most delightful features—”Ca” being Venetian dialect for “house” and “Giardino” meaning “garden,” suggesting a welcoming home with green spaces, a rare treasure in Venice’s dense urban landscape.

The family-run nature of Ca Giardino – Venetian Family is evident in every aspect of the guest experience, reflected in the extraordinary 9.2 rating that speaks volumes about the personalized service and attention to detail. Visitors can start their day with breathtaking views across the Giudecca Canal toward the main island, with the iconic silhouettes of Venice’s bell towers and domes creating an unforgettable backdrop. The hotel’s position in Giudecca offers the perfect balance between accessibility and tranquility—just a short vaporetto (water bus) ride from St. Mark’s Square and other major attractions, yet removed from the crowds that can overwhelm Venice’s most popular areas. The Giudecca district itself has much to offer, from the magnificent Church of the Redentore designed by Andrea Palladio to charming waterfront restaurants serving fresh seafood and authentic Venetian cuisine. After a day of exploration, guests return to Ca Giardino not just as visitors to a hotel, but as temporary residents in a real Venetian neighborhood.

What truly distinguishes Ca Giardino – Venetian Family from other three-star accommodations in Venice is the sense of belonging it creates for its guests, as reflected in its exceptional 9.2 rating. The “Venetian Family” portion of its name isn’t merely a marketing phrase—it represents the genuine family atmosphere cultivated by the proprietors. Guests frequently comment on feeling like welcomed members of an extended Venetian family rather than anonymous tourists. This local, authentic experience allows visitors to discover Venice beyond the postcard views, though those stunning vistas remain easily accessible. The Giudecca location provides convenient access to Venice’s water transportation network, making exploration of the Grand Canal, Rialto Bridge, and Doge’s Palace straightforward while offering a peaceful retreat at day’s end. Whether enjoying a morning espresso while watching boats cross the lagoon or returning after a day of museum visits and church tours, Ca Giardino creates a serene home base for Venetian adventures. For travelers seeking an authentic, highly-rated Venetian experience that combines accessibility with local charm, Ca Giardino – Venetian Family stands as an ideal choice in the magical floating city of Venice.

  We would highly recommend Venetian Family. The apartment was clean and well-presented, with comfortable beds. It’s tucked away in a quiet residential area, which suited our needs perfectly. We were met at the Sacca Fiscola water bus stop and checked in by Carlotta, who was also happy to answer our questions about the best/most cost-effective way to travel from the airport. The hosts Matteo and Syria were quick to respond and very helpful when we had to contact them about a couple of issues on our arrival. I would recommend purchasing a Vaporetto (water bus) pass for the duration of your stay as you’ll need to use the Vaporetto to reach the main island from Sacca Fiscola. There are some Trattorias which it’s possible to walk to on the neighbouring Giudecca Island. Overall a great apartment.
  
  What could be improved: A reasonable journey each way to the tourist attractions on the main island.
  Some noise could be heard from the apartment, but this didn’t go on until late so didn’t affect being able to sleep.

  Très bon rapport qualité prix. Logement spacieux,propre,confortable.Nous étions en couple mais cela pourrait convenir à une famille.Le logement est situé au calme,loin de l'agitation néanmoins il faut savoir qu'il n'est accessible qu'en bateau car éloigné des îlots principaux. Il s'agit de Guidecca.Le mieux est de consulter un plan pour se rendre compte de la situation géographique éloignée. Si vous séjournez, comme nous,5 jours et 4 nuits, ça n'est pas problématique mais si votre séjour est plus court mieux vaut choisir un hébergement plus près des attractions touristiques. La communication avec les hôtes est très bonne et l'accueil au top.Pensez à prendre vos pass pour le transport à votre arrivée à l'aéroport car si vous arrivez comme nous directement au logement par bateau taxi, vous n'aurez pas moyen de les acheter à Guidecca!
  Nous avons passé un excellent séjour à Venise, les Italiens sont très accueillants malgré la grosse fréquentation touristique.
  Venise est magnifique. L'arrivée en bateau taxi est idéal pour être immergés dans la vie vénitienne.
  Un grand merci à la charmante Syria qui nous a accueilli à notre descente du bateau et conduit jusqu'au logement. Nous avions oublié nos achats à l'appartement et elle a fait l'effort de nous les expédier en France.
