DolceVita

Hotel Description

Welcome to DolceVita, a charming three-star hotel nestled in the historic Cannaregio district of Venice, Italy. With its impressive 8.4 rating, this well-reviewed establishment has earned a reputation for delivering an authentic Venetian experience combined with comfortable accommodations and attentive service. Situated at Cannaregio 2849, DolceVita occupies a privileged position in one of Venice’s most characterful neighborhoods, away from the overwhelming tourist crowds yet within easy reach of the city’s iconic attractions. The Cannaregio district, with its picturesque canals and genuine local atmosphere, offers guests a glimpse into the everyday life of Venetians while providing a peaceful retreat after a day of exploration.

The hotel’s location in Cannaregio places it near the famous Jewish Ghetto, the oldest in the world, where visitors can explore synagogues, museums, and kosher restaurants that speak to Venice’s diverse cultural heritage. The nearby Strada Nuova provides excellent shopping opportunities and leads toward the Rialto Bridge and St. Mark’s Square, both accessible within a pleasant 15-20 minute walk or a short vaporetto ride from the closest water bus stop. For those interested in authentic local cuisine, the area surrounding DolceVita is dotted with traditional bacari (Venetian wine bars) and family-run trattorias serving fresh seafood and regional specialties at more reasonable prices than the more touristy areas. The hotel’s position also offers convenient access to the Santa Lucia train station and the Piazzale Roma transport hub, making arrivals and departures remarkably straightforward—a significant advantage in a city known for its labyrinthine layout.

DolceVita embodies the essence of Venetian hospitality in its thoughtfully appointed spaces and attention to detail. The hotel occupies a lovingly restored historic building that balances traditional Venetian elements with modern comforts that today’s travelers expect. Many rooms feature classic Venetian décor, including Murano glass fixtures, rich fabrics, and windows that may offer glimpses of quiet canals or characteristic Venetian rooftops. The highly rated service at DolceVita (as evidenced by its impressive 8.4 rating) reflects the staff’s commitment to ensuring guests have all they need to make the most of their Venetian adventure. From providing custom itinerary suggestions that help guests discover both famous landmarks and hidden gems, to offering recommendations for authentic dining experiences in the neighborhood, the knowledgeable personnel contribute significantly to the hotel’s positive reputation. Breakfast typically includes a selection of Italian pastries, fresh fruit, and excellent coffee—the perfect fuel for a day of wandering through Venice’s enchanting calli (streets) and campi (squares). While maintaining the intimate atmosphere of a boutique establishment, DolceVita offers amenities that make a stay in Venice more comfortable and connected, striking an ideal balance between old-world charm and contemporary convenience in one of the world’s most magical cities.

Reviews

• Marta_gig from Poland – 30 January 2025 (9/10)

  Everything was fantastic! The location is perfect for Venice. Far from the hustle and bustle of tourists but close enough to everything. At first it was cold in the apartment, but we quickly warmed up the place 🙂
  
  What could be improved: The mattress was sliding across the bed.

• Eiva from Finland – 7 October 2024 (9/10)

  Stylish and cute
  Best area
  
  What could be improved: No soap or shower gel. Would be nice to know about it before arriving
  You are supposed to take out your trash, but no instructions where to take it. We had to run around bridges with our luggage and trash to find where are the trash bins

• Evija from Latvia – 27 March 2025 (7/10)

  A nice location, historical interior.
  
  What could be improved: Cold, heating could not be switched on. Very noisy from the street.

• Tim from United Kingdom – 20 January 2025 (8/10)

  Spotlessly clean and appears to have been decorated fitted out recently. The bed was comfortable, kitchen equipment sufficient for me but basic for anyone intending to cook. The location was perfect for me, in a quiet street a short walk from the train station, close to the Alvise ferry stop, and with good bars and food shops just around the corner.
  
  What could be improved: The outside temperature was hovering around zero and I struggled to get the apartment warm. Heating is via the air conditioner switched to heating mode but it failed to warm the room even when set to maximum and 'super'. It's probably fine in milder weather and pleasantly cool in the summer months.
  
  I stayed for nine nights and would have appreciated an offer of clean towels and bedding part way through my stay. The host contacted me towards the end but it felt rather late by then.
  
  There was no toilet paper by I presume this was just an oversight.

• Jan from Finland – 17 September 2024 (8/10)

  You enter the apartment directly from the street and have a lot of nice bars and restaurants nearby. A good place for a day or two. And you can walk to the train station in 10 or 15 minutes. Alilaguna(orange line) small boats stops at Guglie but be aware of long queues at the airport.
  
  What could be improved: Not the best place for a tall man because of low doors. But that is probably the same in all of Venice.

• Victoria from Spain – 15 February 2025 (9/10)

  Estaba todo muy limpio, nuevo y bien conservado. Muy fácil llegar a la ubicación y en un lugar muy tranquilo pero cerca de todo.
  
  What could be improved: La puerta de la entrada no está bien aislada y entra frío. Pero tiene calefacción que aclimata la habitación.

• Emanuela from Italy – 13 October 2024 (9/10)

• Diego from Spain – 22 February 2025 (7/10)

  La ubicación. Cerca del centro pero en una calle tranquila.
  La cama era muy cómoda y la cocina muy bien equipada y el baño muy correcto. Todo muy limpio.
  
  What could be improved: El apartamento tiene poca luz y es frío. Solo hay un ventilador de aire que en invierno no es suficiente.
  La comunicación con el propietario muy mejorable.

• Olivier from France – 10 December 2024 (9/10)
