As a party of three we stayed in Ca' Amadi for six nights from 19-25 September. We can only endorse what other reviewers have said about the great location, the homely apartment and, most of all, the generous and helpful hostess, Fulvia. After encountering the tourist hordes in so many popular areas, particularly in areas like the Piazza San Marco, it was a massive relief to return to the calm of the apartment's location. The area is well serviced by relatively inexpensive cafes, bars and general shopping. We found the Trattoria Dallas Marissa (in the same building as the apartment) an excellent place to enjoy authentic Venetian cuisine. The apartment is extremely comfortable and being right on the canal, became a perfect source for wonderful views (and countless pics) of typical canal activity. As for Fulvia, she is the jewel in crown for us. It would be difficult to imagine a more helpful and kind ambassador for Venice. She was a marvellous source of suggestions to enhance our Venetian experience. We now consider her our newest friend.
