Ca' Vendramin Zago

This was my second stay at Hotel Ca 'Vendramin Zago. What a wonderful hotel. Our stay with them was longer on this trip and it was a wonderful experience. From the moment we arrived, I felt like we were coming home to a familiar private home. Live was outside welcoming us and immediately escorted us to our beautiful room. The hotel used to be a private residence, and we marveled at the beautiful statues, original glorious dining room and our room that was adorned with Murano glass chandelier and the original detailing on the walls. We were greeted each morning with a wonderful breakfast. What a great location. We were able to get to St. Marks square easily, but we were so glad we were in the Cannaregio area that was a bit removed from the bustling St. Marks square. The staff was beyond helpful. Both Live and Allesandro greeted us with a smile on their face when we went to ask them questions. The hotel has a boat, free of charge, that takes guests to Murano. It arrives in front of the hotel and carries us off to the island to see a glass blowing demonstration. No hard sell just a lovely convenient way to travel. During this visit to Venice and my last visit, Alessandro was the best! Always helping us out with directions and wonderful restaurant recommendations. I communicated with him prior to our arrival, and he had made a reservation for us for our first night in the city. Since this was our second trip, we explored the local neighborhoods even more. Don't miss the entire neighborhood that I didn't even know existed that is behind the hotel. A stay at Hotel Ca 'Vendramin Zago will exceed your expectations. Quality of staff, rooms, and the ideal location. If I ever have the bucket list dream of visiting Venice again, this will be my go-to place for accommodations. I will feel like I am visiting old friends that will want to ensure that my time in Venice is unforgettable. Stay there, you will not regret it!!!!!
