Ca' Pisani was the first design hotel to be built in Venice. It offers an alternative to the classic Venetian hotel and is popular with leading figures of the arts.

The hotel's beautiful exterior dates back to the 15th century and is a striking contrast to its eclectic interiors which are reminiscent of the 1930's and 1940's; deep red hues, bamboo, marble and walnut wood.

The Ca' Pisani is located in the enchanting heart the Dorsoduro district of Venice, a short walk from the Accademia Art Gallery or famous Accademia Art Gallery. The zone is tranquil and charming and a few seconds walk to both the Grand Canal and Giudecca Canal and all connections across the city.

The building is a fine example of a late 13th century palazzo of nobility of the period. It was converted into a 29 bedroom guest house by the architect Roberto Canovaro in the late 16th century. The Design Hotel Ca' Pisani in Venice was formerly known as 'Palazzo Ca' Pisani Molfettà' after Vettor Pisani, a great admiral of the Republic of Venice. It was opened as an exclusive luxury retro boutique hotel in 2000 and by the same family who has been running Hotel Saturnia & International since 1908.

ROOMS

The 29 rooms are divided into six typologies: Junior Suite, Duplex, Family, Deco Deluxe, Deco Superior and Deco Rooms. All are luxurious and all made different by original 30s and 40s period furniture, with the the beds real original collectors' items.

All  are equipped with direct-dial telephone, Tv, minibar, hair dryer, safe, air conditioning with climate control, and all the amenities of a modern four-star hotel including WiFi connectivity for broadband wireless internet access.

The Duplex is large room that has 2 levels, bedroom in mezzanine and small living downstairs Late check-out: possibility to check-out at 13:00 Soft drinks: you can use the in room mini-bar and take any soft drink at no cost Best quality courtesy line in bathroom

An attention to every detail means the soft furnishings have been individually selected in each room. Look out for the small leather armchairs, specially designed cabinets and wardrobes and the polished marble bathrooms with deep tub and hydromassage.

SERVICES

In keeping with the Grand tour atmosphere of the hotel, 28 discrete staff members are on site and include management personnel, cooks, waiters and room attendants. The reception is open 24 hours a day and don't hesitate to enquire about Venice restaurants, guides, trips, transfers, itineraries, city information, museums, shop opening hours etc.

WiFi wireless connection throughout the hotel including all the guestrooms; and for those who choose not to travel with their own laptop, there is a complimentary internet point in the mezzanine where guests can work or check their email.

On the top floor of the palazzo there is a splendid loft with three rooms with easy access to the Turkish bath, once popular among large Venetian houses. The loft has a typical 'altana' or roof-top wooden platform with all-round views over the city.

DINING

Every morning, you can enjoy a varied buffet breakfast in La Rivista Wine Bar.

During the summertime, the Wine & Cheese Bar La Rivista offers freshly made snack selections to whet your appetite. Those wishing something more filling may select a cold Mediterranean pasta dish or a board of Italian cold cuts and cheese.

La Rivista offers Italian meat cuts and cheese boards selected from all over Italy and accompanied by hot dishes and home made desserts. The wine list includes products from many Italian regions, but especially Veneto

 

What a fabulous location! The service was superb! Thomas, Giovanni, Michael and Fabio made the Ca'Pisani a true home away from home!!! Would I recommend this hotel? Yes Yes Yes! I can't wait to go back!!
