CA GRIMANI private terrace

Hotel Description

Nestled in the captivating Dorsoduro district of Venice, the four-star CA GRIMANI private terrace offers an exceptional blend of Venetian charm and modern luxury. This well-regarded accommodation, boasting an impressive rating of 8.1, stands as a testament to quality hospitality in one of Italy’s most beloved destinations. Located at Fondamenta Sangiantoffetti 1068 in the Sestiere Dorsoduro area, this refined establishment provides guests with the perfect base from which to explore the timeless beauty of Venice. The hotel’s position in Dorsoduro—one of Venice’s six historic sestieri (districts)—places visitors in a neighborhood known for its authentic character, artistic heritage, and relative tranquility compared to the more tourist-heavy areas of the city. The CA GRIMANI private terrace distinguishes itself through its namesake feature—a private terrace that offers guests a rare commodity in Venice: personal outdoor space from which to absorb the magical atmosphere of the city. From this privileged vantage point, visitors can take in panoramic views across the Venetian skyline, perhaps while enjoying a morning espresso or evening aperitivo. The hotel’s Dorsoduro location places guests within comfortable walking distance of some of Venice’s most treasured cultural institutions, including the prestigious Gallerie dell’Accademia with its incomparable collection of pre-19th-century Venetian art, and the avant-garde Peggy Guggenheim Collection housed in the unfinished palazzo that was once the American heiress’s home. The nearby Zattere promenade offers breathtaking views across the Giudecca Canal, while the Gothic masterpiece of Santa Maria della Salute stands as an architectural marvel just a short stroll away. For those seeking to explore beyond Dorsoduro, the hotel’s position provides convenient access to vaporetto (water bus) stops, making the iconic St. Mark’s Square, the Rialto Bridge, and other Venetian highlights easily accessible. Within its walls, CA GRIMANI embraces the refined elegance that befits its four-star status, while maintaining the intimate atmosphere that allows for personalized service. The strong 8.1 rating reflects guests’ satisfaction with the hotel’s commitment to quality and attention to detail. Rooms are thoughtfully appointed, combining contemporary comforts with touches that honor Venice’s rich aesthetic traditions. The private terrace serves as more than just a viewing platform—it represents the hotel’s philosophy of providing guests with spaces for reflection and enjoyment amid the busy excitement of Venetian exploration. The surrounding Dorsoduro area complements the hotel experience perfectly, offering a selection of authentic restaurants, artisanal shops, and hidden campos (squares) where visitors can immerse themselves in local life. Unlike the more commercialized parts of Venice, this neighborhood retains a genuine residential character, allowing guests at CA GRIMANI to experience the dual nature of Venice as both a living city and a global cultural treasure. Whether visiting for a romantic getaway, a cultural expedition, or a luxury retreat, travelers will find CA GRIMANI private terrace provides an excellent foundation for creating unforgettable Venetian memories.

Reviews

• Muriel from United Kingdom – 10 October 2023 (9/10)

  The location was fantastic. There were 3 of us and having our own rooms was a bonus. The roof terrace was lovely first thing in the morning and in the evening.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing that others haven't said.

• Crabbyem from United Kingdom – 15 October 2023 (9/10)

  Beautiful apartment in a great location. The beds were super comfy and the air conditioning very welcome. The spiral staircase was a challenge, but taken slowly, it was fine. Mosquito plugs in each bedroom were very welcome, but the low door frames and the beams in the main bedroom were an issue as we are a tall family. However, after the first bumped head, we all remembered for the rest of our stay! The kitchen isn't the best equipped, but this is a holiday let, where most people will eat out. A complete set of plates and dishes would have been great, but not a deal breaker. All in all, we had a fantastic holiday in a great location in a great apartment.
  
  What could be improved: The handrail for the stairs is slightly loose in places, but the stairs taken slow and steady are ok.

• Kenny from United Kingdom – 19 July 2023 (9/10)

  Good location, close to Venice’s main sights but fairly quiet. Spacious. Good roof terrace. Aircon good. Beds comfortable. Good quality kitchen, bathrooms and washing machine.
  Host’s responsive and helpful.
  
  What could be improved: Adding air-con to third bedroom.
  Some shade from the sun on the roof terrace.

• Elizabeth from United Kingdom – 12 May 2023 (8/10)

  The flat was spacious, quiet and comfortable. Unfortunately the weather was not good enough for us to make a lot of use of the lovely roof terrace. It was a good situation with plenty of amenities and places to visit nearby.
  
  What could be improved: The bottom step of the spiral staircase is only a partial step and 2 of us missed our footing and fell – perhaps something could indicate that it is not a complete step.

• Jaanika from Estonia – 12 March 2023 (8/10)

  Very large appartement, each of us got our own room, easy to go around. The stairs inside the property might be tricky for small children and elderly.

• Jane from United Kingdom – 17 September 2022 (7/10)

  very good location and great to have the roof terrace. Apartment was spacious and bed was very comfortable.
  
  What could be improved: Apartment in need of some repair work and redecoration. The balustrade on staircase was loose. Skirting board coming off at entrance into living room. Kitchen tap very loose. Shortage of cooking pots nothing to use in the oven. Bathrooms needed some decorations shower area badly stained.

• Tim from United Kingdom – 21 April 2022 (8/10)

  Wonderful large two storey apartment with rooftop balcony.
  Great facilities and comfortable beds.
  2 bathrooms really appreciated.
  Rooftop terrace is amazing although weather dependent.
  Great location near to the vaporetto stop and easy walk to St.Marks Square.
  
  What could be improved: Owner was fussy about arrival time and no option to leave our bags early. A little rude in text messages.
