Cà Marta

Hotel Description

Nestled in the charming Dorsoduro district of Venice, the three-star Cà Marta offers travelers an authentic Venetian experience combined with comfortable accommodations. With an impressive guest rating of 8.5, this highly-regarded establishment has established itself as a preferred choice for discerning visitors seeking to immerse themselves in the timeless beauty of La Serenissima. Located at Fondamenta Santa Marta 2137, the hotel enjoys a privileged position along one of Venice’s picturesque canals, providing guests with the quintessential Venetian experience of waterfront living.

The Dorsoduro sestiere (district) where Cà Marta is situated represents one of Venice’s most appealing neighborhoods, offering a perfect balance between cultural richness and tranquil ambiance. Unlike the often overcrowded San Marco area, Dorsoduro allows visitors to experience a more authentic side of Venice while remaining within easy reach of major attractions. The hotel’s location near Fondamenta Santa Marta places it in proximity to the prestigious Ca’ Foscari University and the architecturally significant Santa Marta church, from which the fondamenta (canal-side street) derives its name. Art enthusiasts will appreciate being within walking distance of world-class museums including the Gallerie dell’Accademia, housing the finest collection of Venetian paintings from the Byzantine era through the Renaissance, and the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, showcasing masterpieces of 20th-century art in the former residence of the famous American collector.

What sets Cà Marta apart, beyond its well-reviewed accommodations, is its authentic connection to Venetian life. The hotel embodies the characteristic charm of a traditional Venetian residence, allowing guests to experience the city not merely as tourists but as temporary residents of this extraordinary floating city. The well-preserved historic building features the architectural elements that make Venetian structures so distinctive—tall windows, perhaps adorned with flower boxes, and the warm terracotta and ochre hues typical of the city’s palette. Inside, one might expect to find spaces that honor Venetian aesthetic traditions while providing modern comforts. The hotel’s consistent 8.5 rating suggests that guests have found their experiences here to be well above average, with service and amenities meeting or exceeding expectations for a three-star establishment. Whether you’re planning to explore the artistic treasures of the Dorsoduro museums, take a leisurely stroll along the nearby Zattere promenade with its stunning views across to Giudecca island, or venture farther to the iconic St. Mark’s Square and Rialto Bridge, Cà Marta provides a welcoming and well-situated base for your Venetian adventures. Here, the timeless magic of Venice awaits, with the gentle lapping of canal waters and the distant sound of church bells creating the soundtrack to an unforgettable Italian sojourn.

Reviews

• Marta from Poland – 4 June 2024 (9/10)

  The place was really great:) We had everything what we need. Apartment was spacious and clean and it is located in nice quiet neighborhood:) It’s very close to vaporetto stop so if you travel by train it’s very easy to get to this place. There was no lift so we had to take our luggages on the second floor but I think it’s not a surprise in a town like Venice so I wouldn't count it as a weakness:))

• Andreea from United Kingdom – 14 March 2025 (9/10)

  Very well located to get to centre of Venice. Very clean and well kept. Perfect size for me and my parents. Host was great at communicating and offering support and help to get to the flat. We arrived late and was very accommodating.

• Isabel from United Kingdom – 21 October 2024 (9/10)

  The location was great and the apartment was very spacious.
  
  What could be improved: A big humidity in the main bedroom.

• Kirthan from Germany – 26 September 2024 (9/10)

  Spacious apartment, friendly host, furnished kitchen, close to water bus stop.
  
  What could be improved: The apartment is in 2nd floor and since it’s an old building there’s no lift but we got used to it.

• Aberdeen from Singapore – 24 April 2024 (9/10)

  The apartment was clean and the staff were really friendly and helpful. The amenities were great too
  
  What could be improved: The location on Google maps might not be accurate, so please refer to the address provided rather than the name of the accomodation. There are also no lights at the staircase area, so you will have to use your phone torch

• Zaree from Australia – 15 October 2023 (9/10)

  Great location, nice and clean, air conditioning and quiet at night for sleeping. Lovely restaurant just across the road!

• Veronica from Romania – 14 July 2023 (8/10)

  Location was ok (second floor, not accessible by elevator, so not suitable for people with wheelchair), clean, big rooms (no terrace/balcony), pleasant to stay for 1-2 nights. It was not very central, but it took 15 minutes walk to the center with bars/restaurants/touristic spots. Quiet area, near an university campus. For people who want to cook, I believe the kitchen had what you needed – we didn't use it 🙂
  
  What could be improved: Big dislike for the way they handle the trash topic: considering the price for the apartment was high compared to any other place in Italy where we went during this trip, they asked us for an additional 10 EUR if we didn't want to take care of the garbage ourselves. I didn't mind the fact that I need to take out the trash, but the approach was not the most professional 😉
  Also, pay attention to the address – there was a different number on Booking, so follow the instructions received via messages instead. Last thing, the city tax is bigger than mentioned on Booking.

• Lizaveta from Poland – 27 May 2023 (9/10)

  What could be improved: We couldn’t find extra trash bags
