Great Quiet Spot

We had 4 days to spend in Venice and this location made easy access to everything. The neighborhood is quiet and yet 5-10 minutes walking to plenty of restaurants. 20 minute stroll to St. Mark's.

Perfect Location

We stopped for a brief stay and the location was perfect. Alessandro was a great host. He met us at the vaporetto stop, walked us to the VRBO and spent 15-20 minutes talking to us about our stay, tips for the city and helping us plan out the transportation.

Amazing Hospitality in Venice

Alessandro was the best host! Upon arrival he met us at the water taxi stop and guided us to his B and B. He gave us a detailed crowd avoiding plan on the map. His advice was spot on. The breakfast/snacks were perfect. It was a quiet location with comfortable beds and amenities.

Great place, close to many sites, and as advertised

Allesandro met us at the water taxi exit and helped us get to the B&B. It was a short walk made easier by the proactive communication he provided. The property was great and was exactly as advertised. My wife and I spent 3 days in Venice before heading off on a 10 day cruise. This was worth going to and all of Allesandro’s where suggestions were spot on. If you are looking for a trip to Venice the Ca ‘Barba is worth staying at. We will definitely be back.

Cozy b&b in San Polo!

Alessandro was a wonderful and accomodating host! He was very responsive, and helped us coordinate our late-check-in after our flight into Venice. Alice met us near a ferry station, and walked us to the location, and gave some really wonderful suggestions based on how we liked to priortize our time in the city. The location is in a nice quiet alley very close to the Rialto Bridge, and a 15 minute walk to Piazza San Marco. We enjoyed the daily treats that our room got restocked with, as well as the cleanliness of the room.

nice apartment, lovely neighborhood, wonderful stay

we stayed in the two bedroom apartment in mid-september for five days. the apartment was easy to access via the vaporetto, the neighborhood was wonderful with a local market, not too far away supermarket, and many restaurants. easy access to the accademia and waterfront along the guidecca canal. apartment was clean, modern, and roomy. alessandro and his sister caterina were helpful and available when needed. I would highly recommend and will likely stay there again. fyi - apartment is on three levels so doing steps is required.

B&B in Venice

Great stay at this little B&B. Room just a bit on the small side, but who cares? You sleep in the room. It was clean and comfortable and in a great location to walk everywhere we wanted. A nice little courtyard of buildings. They seem to leave food/snacks in the room each day with fruit, mini-muffins, cookies, mixed nuts, jams and PANCAKES. And still hang fresh, warm pastries on your door each morning. They get you checked in efficiently (grazie mille, Alice) and then stay out of your way. Highly recommended.

A perfect home base for exploring Venice

The host provided detailed information on how to arrive at the proper Vaporetto stop, and made sure that someone was there to meet us and walk us the few minutes needed to arrive at the property. They were then careful to provide excellent information and tips on sight seeing, both on and off the beaten path. The host was responsive when needed, and more than careful to convey his availability if we had further questions. The property is clean, attractive, and centrally located just minutes from the Ponte di Rialto. There are plenty of bars and restaurants very close by, and the neighborhood is nice and quiet at night. Don't hesitate to book a stay at Ca'Barba! In fact, do it now!

Great location; extraordinary host

My husband and I stayed at Alessandro’s BnB for three days before a cruise. The communication before and during our stay was excellent and incredibly helpful. We were met at the water taxi dock when we arrived from the airport and taken to the BnB, which was right around the corner. We were given a tour and tips and tricks of the property. It was lovely. As with most European properties, no elevator. Lots of snacks and a water dispenser available in the kitchen and a lovely daily basket of pastries and fruits left in our room. Alessandro was immediately available via WhatsApp when we had questions or wanted a recommendation. If you’re coming from the US and you’re used to very cold A/C, you won’t get that here. Not a big deal for us, we just kept the windows open and it was more than pleasant. I would absolutely stay here again if I were in Venice!

Wonderful B&B in great location!

We loved our stay Ca 'Barba B & B! Being our first time in Venice we didn't know what area to stay in but this was a gem! Great location close to everything but off the main streets in a quiet area. Alessandro was very responsive from the time of booking through our entire stay, checking in with us and giving us recommendations to try. Would definitely recommend this place!

Did not read ALL the reviews

Allesandro and his team were wonderful - good communicators and gracious hosts! The only reason I cannot give this a full five stars is because the listing is slightly (and I'm sure unintentionally) misleading. The listing reads as though there are multiple rooms in the rental; however, all the bedrooms are separate rentals, and the kitchen is a common area. We were given the bedroom with the jaccuzzi tub - which we enjoyed. The room, though, was small and tight. The armoire only had two drawers and the bathroom had essentially no counter space. There was a cold breakfast every morning, and a special breakfast pastry treat on our checkout. Again, Allesandro and team were wonderful and the location was great. We, however, would not have rented the space had we known we were only renting a bedroom.

Great value

We found this to be a perfect home base for walking around Venice. The beds are comfortable and shower clean. Kitchen was well maintained . A nice supply of cold breakfast items were already in our room and juice and yogurt in the fridge. Bed made every morning. I think younger people will especially like it here. I felt old with the staircase. I missed having a washer.Venice is such a labyrinth we needed to call Isabelle to help us get home and she was very available.

A wonderland experience

Alessandro our host, was great, all questions immediately answered. Unfortunately his children were sick so he was unable to meet us. Transfer to Venice it is straight forward but I was worried about it. Alessandro gave plenty of options. The easiest was the water bus on the orange line. His staff met us but there was a mis understanding. She said Rialto bridge so we thought she'd meet us where the waterbus dropped us off. Got a text to ask where I was, sent her a photo and was told I was in the wrong side. We had no idea where we were so that set the tone wrong for me as had been travelling for nearly 12 hours at this point. I had a large suitcase. It took around 10 minutes walk. We later realised there was a more straight forward walk than all the adventures she took us on. Rialto bridge is large with lots of steps so not ideal re suitcase. B&B in Nice little courtyard and clean but steep stairs so not for the infirm. Good location to everything. GreatGAlcleaThereshigher

Lovely location

This little place near the Rialto Bridge met our needs perfectly. There was a generous cold breakfast and a coffee maker, as well as a shared kitchen with yogurt and some delicious juice available. The bed and room were clean and comfortable, one of our hosts met us at the vaporetto stop and escorted us to the room, explaining how everything worked. Our only issue was the wifi wasn’t working when we were there.Otherwise, it was perfect.

Central Location

This is a nice B&B room. Easy walk from the canal at Hotel Orologio. We met our host at the dock and he helped with our bags to the room. Breakfast is a little basket if muffins, fruit and cookies in your room. Make your own coffee. Nothing fancy, but nic and clean and the location was good. We used the concierge at Hotel Orologio to get us a taxi to the train station when we left.
