Residenza Cavana

Hotel Description

Welcome to Residenza Cavana, a charming three-star haven nestled in the heart of Venice’s captivating Dorsoduro district. Located at Calle Avogaria, 1617/b, this delightful establishment offers guests an authentic Venetian experience with a commendable 7.8 rating from satisfied travelers. The hotel’s strategic position in Dorsoduro—one of Venice’s six historic sestieri (districts)—places you in a perfect balance between the city’s bustling tourist centers and the more tranquil, residential areas where local life unfolds at its own gentle pace. Dorsoduro is known for its artistic heritage, and from Residenza Cavana, you’ll find yourself within walking distance of the renowned Gallerie dell’Accademia, which houses Venice’s most impressive collection of pre-19th-century art, and the innovative Peggy Guggenheim Collection, showcasing masterpieces of 20th-century European and American art. The nearby Campo Santa Margherita, a lively square lined with cafés and small shops, offers a glimpse into authentic Venetian daily life.

Residenza Cavana combines traditional Venetian style with modern comforts, creating a welcoming atmosphere that has earned it consistent positive feedback from guests. The 7.8 rating reflects the hotel’s dedication to quality service and comfortable accommodations, making it a reliable choice for travelers seeking value without compromising on the authentic Venetian experience. From the hotel, the magnificent Grand Canal is just a short stroll away, offering opportunities to watch gondolas and water taxis navigate Venice’s main waterway. The famous Rialto Bridge and St. Mark’s Square are accessible by a pleasant walk or a quick vaporetto (water bus) ride, allowing guests to easily explore these iconic landmarks while returning to the comparative tranquility of Dorsoduro after a day of sightseeing. The district is also home to numerous traditional bacari (wine bars), where you can sample cicchetti (Venetian tapas) and local wines, immersing yourself in Venice’s culinary traditions without the premium prices of more tourist-centric areas.

The Dorsoduro district where Residenza Cavana is situated offers a delightful contrast to the more crowded parts of Venice. Here, narrow canals wind between historic buildings, small bridges connect charming streets, and hidden campi (squares) reveal themselves unexpectedly as you wander. Art enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to Ca’ Rezzonico, a magnificent palace housing the Museum of 18th-century Venice, and the Scuola Grande dei Carmini with its stunning Tiepolo ceiling paintings. For those seeking spiritual or architectural wonder, the imposing Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute stands majestically at the entrance to the Grand Canal, just a short distance from the hotel. The nearby Zattere promenade offers spectacular views across the Giudecca Canal, perfect for evening strolls as the sun sets behind the domes and bell towers of this extraordinary city. Residenza Cavana’s position in this culturally rich yet relatively peaceful district creates an ideal base from which to explore the myriad wonders of Venice while experiencing the authentic rhythm of Venetian life that has flowed through these ancient waterways for centuries. Whether you’re visiting for the world-famous Biennale exhibitions, exploring the architectural marvels that seem to float on water, or simply soaking in the timeless atmosphere of the world’s most unique city, Residenza Cavana offers a comfortable, well-rated retreat in one of Venice’s most charming neighborhoods.

Reviews

• Samara from United States – 5 April 2022 (8/10)

  loved everything about this property. the place was super clean and modern, but still with a homey feel. the balcony gave us view of the quiet street and a nice place to sip some wine during sunset. spacious apartamento with responsive hosts. lots of things like restaurants and cafes were within a short walking distance.
  
  What could be improved: the elevator was broken so we had to carry our heavy luggage up the stairs.

• Diego from United States – 2 October 2024 (8/10)

  The location was great. The apartment was very clean. The bed was comfortable.
  
  What could be improved: Many things expected to be in an apartment were missing: a microwave, a TV, drawers for clothes, a hook to hang towels, and a holder for toilet paper. There were 3 chairs but one was broken. We were left a single set of keys, had to contact the owner about it, and were sent to an office in Venice to pick up a second set. The check-in time is narrow (3 to 7 pm). Check-out time is inflexible and very early (10 am). Usually, the host leaves things in the kitchen to make it easier for the guests. There was no coffee, oil, or bottled water. Instructions on getting to the nearest supermarket or taking public transportation would have been appreciated.

• Christine from Australia – 15 May 2022 (5/10)

  Clean and location near nice restaurants.
  
  What could be improved: Lack of communication. No TV. Kitchen chairs need replacing. Bedside lamps would have been good.

• Niki5467 from Austria – 28 March 2024 (9/10)

  Die Wohnung ist wie auf den Fotos und fast geräumiger als erwartet. Der Kontakt mit der zuständigen Agentur oder Besitzerin lief telefonisch ab und wir waren sehr zufrieden. Es war sauber und ordentlich, da es kalt war hat auf uns auch schon eine warme Wohnung gewartet, was sehr erfreulich war.
  
  Die Lage ist wirklich super und sehr ruhig, in der Nähe befinden sich einige Restaurants und circa 5 Gehminuten entfernt auch ein Supermarkt und eine Station der Vaporetto Linie 2. Das Zentrum ist circa 20 Gehminuten entfernt.
  
  What could be improved: Die Kochutensilien könnten erneuert werden, aber Kleinigkeiten kann man auch so zubereiten.

• Luigi from Italy – 7 January 2024 (9/10)

  Tutto bene. Talvolta ti viene da chiederti perché alcune persone scrivono recensioni negative in strutture come questa dove tu non trovi niente da dire anzi ti trovi bene…
  Mah…
  Buon anno

• Marie from France – 15 May 2022 (7/10)

  Un emplacement très pratique, à l'écart du centre touristique de la place Saint-Marc mais à seulement 1,5 km à pieds. C'est agréable de ne pas être dans la foule des touristes. L'endroit est calme et l'appartement est bien conçu. la cuisine est bien équipée.
  
  What could be improved: Il n'y avait aucune télévision et le centre d'appel nous a dit que ce n'était pas compris dans la location. Nous avions pourtant bien la mention de la télé au moment de louer sur le site.
  Nous n'avons vu personne, ni à l'arrivée ni au départ. Le seul contact a été par téléphone. Donc aucun accueil particulier.

• Fabrice from France – 16 August 2023 (8/10)

  Bien situé et bon rapport qualité prix
  
  What could be improved: Appartement correct dans l’ensemble. Quelques points d’amélioration : La vaisselle de la cuisine est en mauvais état. Évier avec des points de corrosion peu attirant…
  Légère Odeur d’égout dans la salle de bain.

• Jaroslaw from Sweden – 6 April 2024 (8/10)

  Lagade frukost själv. Mat butik är väldig nära.
  
  What could be improved: litte för stort bord i köket då litte trångt för tre person. Inga säng skåp i stora sovrum.

• Jean-yves from France – 3 October 2022 (6/10)

  What could be improved: L'appartement est très bien mais il manque du matériel de cuisine
  pas de plat à servir , pas de plat pour le four, pas de saladier ( même en plastique!)
  3 tasses à thé pour un appartement pour 4 personnes
  Bref un minimum !
  taxe d'arrivée après 19 h .= 35 €
  et personne ni à l'accueil ni au départ !
  Une fenêtre qui ne fermait pas ! la flexible de douche cassé !
  des choses vraiment à revoir qui ne sont pas à la hauteur de cet appartement
  un peu chip , à l'économie !

• Jonas from Brazil – 30 June 2024 (4/10)

  Es mach einen Unterschied ob man in der Altstadt oder in Mestre übernachtet. Man kann Venedig authentisch erleben, wenn man in der Altstadt lebt. Lorenzo die Check-In Person war äußerst freundlich. Sauber, keine Mücken wenn man die Fenster geschlossen hält.
  
  What could be improved: Nur eine der beiden Schlafzimmer hatte eine Klimaanlage. Diese war auch kaum stark genug um das Zimmer nennenswert runter zu kühlen. Die Kommunikation mit der Unterkunft war sehr unangenehm. Ein paar grundlegende Küchensachen haben gefehlt, wie Öl oder Kaffee. Kein Geschirrspüler
