Ca’ Bauta is simply a great place to stay. 10 minute walk from St. Mark’s and Rialto Bridge, close to restaurants and shops and yet, in a quiet enough part of Castello that you feel somewhat part of the local community. The apartment we stayed in was big and spacious, clean and comfortable and as pretty as the pictures suggest. The breakfast is, as advertised, continental. Basic but satisfying.
Overall I recommend the place for all of the above reasons, but especially because Davide was such a gracious host. He is very responsive to one’s needs, and knows Venice well and is eager to share his knowledge with his guests.
We know where we are staying next time we come back to Venice!
