Residence Ca’ di Malta Arsenale by Wonderful Italy

Hotel Description

Nestled in the historic heart of Venice, the three-star Residence Ca’ di Malta Arsenale by Wonderful Italy offers an authentic Venetian experience with modern comforts. Located in the charming Castello district at Corte San Giovanni di Malta, this welcoming residence sits in one of the city’s most characteristic neighborhoods, away from the overwhelming tourist crowds yet conveniently positioned to explore all that Venice has to offer. With a commendable rating of 7.7, this residence has earned its reputation as a reliable and satisfying accommodation choice, particularly appreciated by travelers seeking to immerse themselves in the genuine atmosphere of Venice while enjoying well-appointed lodgings.

The Castello district, where Residence Ca’ di Malta Arsenale is situated, represents the largest of Venice’s six historic sestieri (districts) and offers a fascinating blend of local life and historical significance. The property’s proximity to the famed Venetian Arsenal, once the heart of Venice’s naval power and shipbuilding industry, provides guests with easy access to this impressive complex of former shipyards and armories that played a crucial role in the Venetian Republic’s maritime dominance. Just a short walk from the residence, visitors can explore the picturesque Via Garibaldi, lined with restaurants serving authentic Venetian cuisine and small shops where locals conduct their daily business. The iconic St. Mark’s Square (Piazza San Marco) and its magnificent basilica are within comfortable walking distance, making it convenient for guests to visit Venice’s most celebrated landmark while returning to the more tranquil surroundings of Castello at day’s end. The nearby waterfront promenades offer breathtaking views across the lagoon, particularly beautiful during sunrise and sunset when the city is bathed in golden light.

Residence Ca’ di Malta Arsenale by Wonderful Italy embodies the distinctive architectural character that makes Venice so beloved, with accommodations thoughtfully designed to honor the city’s rich heritage while providing the amenities modern travelers expect. The property balances Venetian aesthetic traditions with contemporary comfort, creating spaces where guests can relax after days spent exploring the city’s maze-like streets and canals. The Wonderful Italy brand, known for selecting properties that showcase authentic Italian hospitality, ensures that guests receive attentive service and valuable local insights to enhance their Venetian experience. For travelers eager to discover Venice beyond the standard tourist routes, this residence offers an ideal starting point to explore the less-frequented corners of the Castello district, from hidden churches housing masterpieces of Renaissance art to small neighborhood bacari (wine bars) where Venetians gather for cicchetti (local appetizers) and spritz. Whether visiting for Venice’s world-renowned Biennale exhibitions, which take place primarily in nearby Giardini and Arsenale venues, or simply to wander the magical calli (streets) and campi (squares) of this unique city, Residence Ca’ di Malta Arsenale provides a comfortable haven where the authentic spirit of Venice can be experienced firsthand, making it a choice well worth considering for discerning travelers seeking to connect with the true essence of La Serenissima.

Reviews

• Claire from Canada – 14 May 2024 (8/10)

  The location, quietness, proximity to the Biennale, goods and transportation through waterways
  
  What could be improved: A few more ustensiles or kitchen ware and wine bottle opener would have been nice to have

• Michael from United States – 20 October 2024 (7/10)

  Clean & comfortable.
  
  What could be improved: The check in process was confusing & frustrating.
  They use Whatsap & we had difficulty with it. There was no live person to help. Several couples were checking in at the same time and the entry code wouldn’t work. The only communication was a third party service. We all were standing in the rain until someone came & put a new battery in the code box.

• Toni from United States – 10 October 2024 (9/10)

  The location was fab , big room with bathroom and clean. It was difficult to find even with instructions as it all looks the same .
  
  What could be improved: Difficult to find and it says tea and coffee however this was in a different shared kitchen not in the room. It didn’t matter as this was a base while we were visiting . It was everything we needed. Location amazing.

• Anna from Japan – 10 July 2024 (9/10)

  Central and quiet at the same time! Nice neighborhood. Good restaurants around and local boulangerie. Easy to get to main touristic spots as well.

• Paul from United States – 20 May 2024 (9/10)

  If you're visiting the Biennale, this location can't be beat.

• Pauline from Austria – 22 April 2024 (8/10)

  Location was perfect and very close to all attractions. Great place to stay if you are going to visit the Biennale.
  The area is very pleasant and the description from the owner and how to get to and access the property was excellent.
  I would surely stay here again
  
  What could be improved: There was no iron in the room, which would have been excellent when on a work trip and hangers would have been a huge plus and a big bonus.

• Jiří from Czech Republic – 24 February 2025 (9/10)

  Room looked exactly as on pictures. Quiet location right next to the water canal and really close to the square. Instructions were clear. Heating worked flawlessly.
  
  What could be improved: Beds were too hard for me, but some people prefer them. If you prefer harder beds, then it will be 10/10.
