"As you’re ushered into Ca Maria Adele's luxurious reception room, your luggage is whisked away and replaced by a glass of something cool and bubbly before you’ve even checked in. Small but perfectly formed, this sumptuous boutique hotel not far from the Salute church is hushed and sophisticated. You can go for baroque in one of the five concept suites, such as the scarlet Sala del Doge or the magnificent, dark Sala Noire. But gold-hued Deluxe rooms share similar comforts, including spacious marble bathrooms, fluffy towels, and goose-down duvets in winter. Ca Maria Adele is in Dorsoduro, Venice’s artsiest district, with the Guggenheim, contemporary works at the Punta della Dogana, and Venetian grand masters at the Accademia all at your doorstep." - Sarah James, Anne Hanley
"Why did this hotel catch your attention? What's the vibe? As you’re ushered into Ca Maria Adele's luxurious reception room, your luggage is whisked away and replaced by a glass of something cool and bubbly before you’ve even checked in. Small but perfectly formed, this sumptuous boutique hotel not far from the Salute church is hushed and sophisticated. What's the backstory? When brothers Alessio and Nicola Campa opened their boutique hotel in 2004, it was immediately hailed as Venice’s most romantic hideaway. Ca Maria Adele has expanded over the years, adding three sumptuous apartments to its range, but the label has stuck, and rightly so. Tell us all about the accommodations. Any tips on what to book? You can go for baroque in one of the five concept suites, such as the scarlet Sala del Doge or the magnificent, dark Sala Noire. But gold-hued Deluxe rooms share similar comforts, including spacious marble bathrooms, fluffy towels, and goose-down duvets in winter. Suite 339 has its own little roof terrace; next door, two suites in the Palazzetto 113 annex can be taken separately or combined for larger groups. The same flair for the perfect luxe detail has been applied to Cariatidi and MiniPalace Venice, two glorious self-catering apartments hard by the mothership. Is there a charge for Wi-Fi? The wi-fi is free and fast. Drinking and dining—what are we looking at? Take a deep breath when you’re handed the breakfast menu. Not only are there dozens of enticing gastronomic options—hot, cold, and invariably delectable, but you’re even asked to name your location: Breakfast room? Roof terrace? Living room? Or perhaps you’d prefer the comfort of your own bed. Simple but wonderful snacks are available through the day. All services are for both the hotel and the apartments. And the service? The suave, charming Campa brothers set the tone, and the rest of the staff follows suit. Nothing is too much trouble, whether you need a personal shopper, a ride around the outer reaches of the lagoon, or simply a table at a romantic restaurant. What type of travelers will you find here? Ca Maria Adele’s reputation as a place for romance entices couples with an eye for luxurious design details. What about the neighborhood? Does the hotel fit in, make itself part of the scene? Ca Maria Adele is in Dorsoduro, Venice’s artsiest district, with the Guggenheim, contemporary works at the Punta della Dogana, and Venetian grand masters at the Accademia all at your doorstep. Any other hotel features worth noting? From the terrace, the view of the rooftops and the Salute church is positively dreamy. Bottom line: Worth it? Why? You may never want to leave." - Anne Hanley

"Ca Maria Adele is a hotel for luxury-lovers; lovers of plush, decadent rooms and oversized Jacuzzi baths; lovers of gold leaf, enormous beds and soft, velvety fabrics; and for lovers, pure and simple. Cool minimalism it ain't, but if you like designer opulence, this 16th-century palazzo will wrap itself around you like a warm cocoon. Behind its deceptively plain façade are breathtakingly sumptuous rooms, including 5 lavishly themed Concept Rooms. Next door in Palazzetto 113 are 2 equally indulgent gold-and-purple rooms. From antique marble floors to enormous bespoke chandeliers of Murano glass, this place oozes contemporary Venetian opulence.And then there’s the location: tucked away at the tip of the classy Dorsoduro quarter, opposite the magnificent church of Santa Maria della Salute, and stone’s throw from the Grand Canal. From your windows (most rooms have several) you look onto the canals, churches and rooftops of Europe’s most stunningly preserved city, yet the hotel remains remarkably peaceful. You can even watch the vaporetto arrive nearby courtesy of your very own webcam. So if you have a new lover to impress, or an old one to woo afresh, this is the place.
