Ca' Furlan, Venice

Advantages: Romantic Destination for City break
Disadvantages: Can be Cold in Winter, as surrounded by water, Can be Smelly in summer.

...The Hotel Ca' Amadi was the perfect choice to take my girlfriend to propose to her. As she was already expecting me to do it, i thought that I would do the romantic thing and take her somewhere special I decided on Italy & Venice. Finding cheap filghts wasnt a problem, I booked flights from East midlands airport for £24 return flights each, bargain, I then set about finding the ideal hotel in my budget. I found that all of the well known venice hotels were expensive, for ultimately an impersonal standand room that could be in any city in the world. Using a website Veniceby.com I found a hotel that I thought would be way off my budget, the Hotel Ca' Amadi. I knew I had made the right decision when my now fiancee burst out crying in amazement as we entered the suite I had been upgraded to. The hotel Ca' Amadi offered... Read review

Advantages: OH YES
Disadvantages: NONE

...very safe. TIP, Take a comfortable pair of trainers you will thank me for this tip!! Sense of direction, forget it. The buildings are 4 stories high and twist and turn all over the place, we ended up at the canal side on more than one occasion, oh there are signs pointing that a way, but when the pavements turn every dozen metres, you will find yourself thinking "have we passed this jewellers before"? St Marcs Square is really stunning, expensive but it has a real wow factor. The Campanile is a 300ft tower with a lift that gives you a full 360 degree view of Venice.

Advantages: PRICE and GOOD LOCATION
Disadvantages: STAIRS AND ATTIC ROOM

.... It is located off a small Alley in the Cannaregio District of Venice. The best local land mark is the Church of Saint APOSTOLI find this and your only 80 yards away. The nearest Vapporetto Stop is on the Grand Canal at CA'D'ORO, if you get off here go straight with canal at your back. Turn right along STRADA NOVA which brings you to the Church, turn left and look for the small alley on your right. The hotel itself is quite small but TALL. There is a small Lobby with Check In desk, we found the Staff Friendly and helpful. Just off this area is a small office/kitchen area for the staff. Now for those DODGY KNEES, NO LIFT. A stair case leads to the first floor where there is a large Gallery with about 6 Rooms that open off the Gallery. We found our room quite pleasant and bathroom in good order. Beds were comfortable and clean... Read review
