Casa Fondamente Nuove

Hotel Description

Welcome to Casa Fondamente Nuove, an exceptional three-star boutique hotel nestled in the heart of Venice’s authentic Cannaregio district. This remarkable establishment has earned an outstanding 9.9 rating from guests, placing it among the most highly acclaimed accommodations in the entire city. Located at Sestiere Cannaregio 5032, this hidden gem offers visitors a perfect blend of Venetian charm, comfort, and convenience, all while being situated in one of the most characterful neighborhoods in this legendary floating city.

The hotel’s prime location in Cannaregio provides guests with a genuine Venetian experience away from the overwhelming tourist crowds, yet remains conveniently connected to all the city’s iconic attractions. The name “Fondamente Nuove” refers to the nearby waterfront promenade that serves as the main boarding point for vaporetti (water buses) to the famous islands of Murano, Burano, and Torcello, allowing guests easy access to explore these treasured Venetian lagoon destinations. Within walking distance, visitors can discover the historic Jewish Ghetto, the oldest in the world, with its poignant synagogues and museums that tell the story of Jewish heritage in Venice. The vibrant Strada Nuova, lined with local shops and authentic restaurants, is just moments away, offering a taste of everyday Venetian life. Meanwhile, the magnificent Ca’ d’Oro palace and the Church of Madonna dell’Orto, housing masterpieces by Tintoretto, are cultural landmarks within easy reach of the hotel’s doorstep.

What distinguishes Casa Fondamente Nuove beyond its strategic location is the exceptional quality of service and attention to detail that has earned it its remarkable 9.9 rating. Guests consistently praise the warm, personalized hospitality that makes them feel less like tourists and more like welcomed friends in a Venetian home. The hotel harmoniously blends traditional Venetian aesthetics with modern comforts, featuring rooms adorned with Murano glass fixtures, rich textiles, and authentic details that capture the essence of Venetian design heritage. Each morning, guests can begin their day of exploration with a delightful breakfast offering local specialties and freshly baked pastries, providing the perfect fuel for wandering Venice’s enchanting labyrinth of canals and alleyways. As the sun sets, the hotel’s proximity to local bacari (wine bars) allows guests to participate in the beloved Venetian tradition of cicchetti (small bites) and spritz, immersing themselves in the authentic rhythm of Venetian social life. For travelers seeking an authentic, high-quality Venetian experience in a less-touristed yet historically rich area, Casa Fondamente Nuove offers an extraordinary home base from which to discover the timeless magic of Venice, as evidenced by its near-perfect guest satisfaction rating and prime position in the culturally rich Cannaregio district.

Reviews

• Heidi from United States – 12 January 2025 (10/10)

  Fantastic place to stay when visiting Venice. Walkable to get everywhere in the city. Elise is a superb host. Clear directions on how to get to Allilaguna Fondamente Nuovo dock and she even met us to take us to the apartment. If coming from airport no bridges crossed to get to apartment. If coming from train station, short walk with one bridge to cross. View of lagoon and ferry boats is so great. Also on sunny days can see snowy mountains in the distance – phenomenal view. Visited Venice in January, which is excellent time to go as no crowds. All you need is a warm jacket, gloves and hat. Apartment, 1 bedroom, is even better in real life than in photos. Wonderful closet space – one for me and separate for husband. Plus wood shelves in bedroom for toiletries. Clothes washer is huge plus and in January the heating radiators dry your clothes quickly. Elise has wonderful suggestions for excellent restaurants. Conareggio neighborhood is great to stay in as out of touristy area and get real feel for Venice. Walking is best way to see Venice and nothing was too far from the apartment. Venice is especially beautiful at night when days are shorter.
  
  What could be improved: Absolutely perfect.

• Joni from United States – 13 March 2025 (10/10)

  This flat is spectacular–in location, comfort, views through the window, convenience, and graciousness of the host. We absolutely loved staying here and found it a perfectly located and beautiful flat for traveling around Venice and the islands. Quiet, yet easy to access anything you would want to see in Venice. The vaporetto system is wonderful and so efficient. The host is super organized and we are grateful for the extra work she did in helping us with various things before and during our trip. Gracie mille!

• Keith from United Kingdom – 17 February 2025 (10/10)

  Elisa was an exceptional host. She meet us at the boat station to take us to the apartment and was very generous with her time showing us the apartment and then went through all the local shops and restaurants etc.
  She was always available and booked a water taxis for us when it was need.
  Highly recommend.

• Paul from United Kingdom – 6 January 2025 (10/10)

  Elisa and Silvia were perfect hosts. They greeted us on arrival at Fondamente Nove pier and showed us to our apartment. Elisa even met us at 4.15am on our departure day to make sure we made our Alilaguna transfer to the airport. The apartment itself was fantastic. Spotlessly clean, very peaceful and well appointed. The location is perfect – away from the hustle and bustle of St Marks Square but easy walking distance to all the major attractions and handy for the airport ferry and boats to the other islands. The local area has plenty of options for bars and restaurants that were less hectic than in the more touristy arears. We will definitely return.
  
  What could be improved: Everything was perfect.

• Louise from United Kingdom – 3 November 2024 (10/10)

  What could be improved: Nothing!

• Chia from Australia – 25 September 2024 (10/10)

  It’s the best I’ve stayed in Italy! The view of the apartment was amazing, the place was very clean. The location was right in front of the dock to get water boat to get to the airport (or from airport), hence there’s no need to drag luggage across all the bridges and lanes in Venice. Elisa was super helpful and greeted me on arrival. I would highly recommend this place and definitely will stay here again if I’m back in Venice
  
  What could be improved: None

• James from United Kingdom – 12 September 2024 (10/10)

  Excellent location. Easy walk to places of interest. Right beside stop for public boat transport.
  
  The hostess could not have been nicer or more helpful!
  
  What could be improved: One (slight) criticism is that we'd have preferred a double bed in both bedrooms.

• Patricia from Canada – 2 September 2024 (10/10)

  Location was lovely. Flat was clean and comfortable. Elisa was really helpful.
