Reviews of Casa Favaretto Guest House

I liked that the location was mostly out of the big tourist zones and was close to the Biennale.

No A/C and it was so hot and muggy; leaving the windows open at night to keep from cooking to death made me easy pickings for mosquitos. If I had come in during milder weather I think I would have be better happy with the experience. Also night visits to the shared bathrooms can be an issue.

Fantastic location. Very clean.

I stayed in room no.1 with fantastic sea views and canal views.

The location was excellent and the room was clean. Close to restaurants and landmarks. I found this side of the island more relaxed. The shared toilet was clean and sufficient. The room had an ocean view, as I had booked. The staff was helpful and friendly.

Nothing.

Great location, right by restaurants, boat stop, and major spots. Loved the view of the canal from our window.

Long code to get into the property gate and room.

Ideal location close to the sea, restaurants and St Mark's. Lovely sound of water in the canal outside the window.

Location is perfect, only a short walk away from major tourist sites, or if you want to head to the other side of venice, the ferry stop isn't far either. Very clean, quiet.

The lady who greeted us was very lovely , however didn't know any English, wasn't a huge problem though

Loved that we got room #1 which was at the end of the corridor AND with the view of the main waters and sunset! Also got a side view of the canals. Bed was comfortable and room was spacious. There's also a sink in the room which made things more convenient since the toilet is shared. On that note, the toilets/shower area was clean. There's a shared fridge outside, and the room came equipped with a kettle and also some snacks provided by the host. Host was also reachable via Whatsapp. Location wise, it was near the Arsenale water boat stop and also a street of restaurants. Walkable to St Marc's Square (~800m) but after exploring a full day on foot, it can get tiring to walk all the way back. But otherwise, great place to stay in!

While in the corridor, we could hear a couple making some sounds in their bedroom at night, so the soundproofing isnt the best. But this thankfully couldnt be heard from our room, which was next to theirs

Location, view, responsiveness and kindness of staff/owner, size of room, cleanliness

Due to high temperatures and no AC, windows had to be left open all night/morning and it became a bit loud at times with boats on river/in lagoon, but kind of has to be expected with the location/view. Other than that, no complaints

Very clean and very central

Very noisy, very hot, and beds are really small

The location was great, room was charming and clean, and the canal view was fantastic! Maria was so sweet and such a gem to talk to, she made the experience so much better

Sometimes the communal shower was taken at peak times, but it wasn't too bad. Also, it would get pretty hot some nights if you wanted to close the window to keep the mosquitoes out.

Great location, not only a nice canal-side atmosphere, but also good access to vaporetto, and close to some good food options. The room was clean, well-stocked and comfortable. I had to book last minute, but I was extremely pleasantly surprised.

Casa Favaretto was perfect for our visit to Venice. We really appreciated the position that was central - right next to the lagoon and with a lovely canal view from our room window, only a short walk from the main sights and close to Vaporetto boat stops- but in the quieter less touristy area of Castello with its more authentic local Venetian feel. The whole guest house was spotlessly clean, with clean towels in the shared bathrooms, and our room and bed was very comfortable. We appreciated the coffee making facilities, the free wifi and the ability to leave our bags till evening on our last day. The staff were so friendly and homely. We felt welcome but also private. It was a really nice simple, calm place to stay.

Everything was great.

Very nice small 1 star-hotel on the first floor (stairs) of building on the corner of the quay and small canal. Location is fabulous. 15 min walk to San Marcos square. Room (no2) was spacious with magnificent view over the laguna from small balcony and window. Comfy bed. Big sink and mirror in the room. Separate bathroom and shower to share with other guests, but no problem - never occupied during my 4-day stay. Very clean. There are some cafés right under the rooms fronting the laguna. I liked hearing the buzzing noice from people chatting and ferries and boats passing in the morning and day. Very silent during the night. I highly recommend Casa Favaretto if you are looking for a nice and simple accommodation with a great location.

Location

We were satisfied with our room, location, and the hosts. Everything went smoothly :)

The location is superb, right on the lagoon, away from the busy part but still close to everything. The sound of the water in the room is wonderful. Rooms are spacious and bright, hosts are kind and responsive.

The shared bathroom was a bit inconvenient- someone tried to get into the bathroom on either end of my shower. Bed could use an upgrade.

Location, size of the room are good

It was too cold for me. I could not have any support even though I shared it with staff. Sound isolation was another issue. I was disturbed by noise many times at night.

Loved the canal view and amazing hosts!

Was my fault but a little out of the way for most attractions.

The room did not have its own bathroom, we had to share it. The bad was very noisy, every time when we turned around we also woke up, that noise was. There was no TV in the room … canal view was poorly accessible, but very clean and 5 minutes walking from San Marco Plaza 😇
