Hotel Casa Petrarca

Had a very pleasant 2 night stay during carnival week. The place is conveniently located, very short walk from no 2 boat stop. Valentina is super nice and friendly and made me feel like at home. The room was clean and had complementary water; mini fridge cools down well. The amenity provided a simple breakfast like boiled eggs, toasts coffee and pastry, which was just enough to start a morning. I would highly recommend that place and would definitely come back.

We cannot recommend Hotel Casa Petrarca enough! From the moment we arrived, the service was impeccable, but the host’s dedication truly stood out on our departure day. Valentina went above and beyond, personally walking us to the water taxi and ensuring we got on in time to catch our flight, as there had been an issue contacting our original pre booked water taxi company. This level of care and attention is something we’ve never experienced before and made our trip even more special.||The hotel’s location is ideal—right in the heart of Venice, making it incredibly convenient to explore all the major sights. The room size was perfect, offering a little seating area to relax after a day exploring. The beds were very comfortable.||We will definitely be returning on our next trip to Venice!

This small bed and breakfast is run by a very nice and reliable lady who is present everyday at breakfast time, together with Sola, a very cute small dog. The location of the place is excellent, being close to the Grand Canal, and the rooms are comfortable. The place feels like home away from home and goes for a very reasonable price.

We had a lovely stay at Locanda Casa Petrarca. The location is perfect! right in the heart of Venice, easy to get to everywhere. The room was very warm, cozy and extremely clean. The breakfast is good and they are very friendly, they gave us many recommendations about art galleries and the best exhibitions. On the last day of our stay, they kindly kept our luggage for us while we enjoyed the last cicchetti and spritz in town, the day was very rainy and when we returned to collect our things, they VERY kindly let us use the bathroom to change our wet clothes, That was extremely kind of them. THANK YOU!! we travel to Venice every year and we will always stay at your lovely hotel.

I booked this as a surprise for our 1st year wedding anniversary and I couldn’t have been happier with the communication, help and support from the 1st time we spoke to the last. Valentina and all the staff were extremely accommodating, kind & helpful. ||Everything about casa petrarca is ideal. Location and character is spot on with a more than pleasant breakfast and amenities ! ||We will certainly recommend to everyone and hopefully won’t be too long until we’re back exploring the lovely sites and surrounding areas Venice has to offer, using Casa Petrarca as our home from home ! ||Thank you Valentina & Casa Petrarca for a wonderful & unforgettable wedding anniversary ! Until next time, keep doing what you’re doing 😄👍🌹

Fantastic location, beautiful room (no.7) with view on the canal, bridge and gondolas, and Valentina is such a friendly and accommodating host. Even though we had a lot of rain during our Venice weekend, staying here it made it a great trip. Highly recommended!

My husband and I have had a very pleasant stay in Casa Petrarca. The room is exceptional clean, the bed is comfortable, the bathroom is very clean. It was pouring rain everyday and it was very cold during our stay there in April. Valentina was kind and very helpful with everything we need. She was always there to look after her guests and made sure our needs were met. She was above and beyond with her warm and genuine hospitality. The location was great and very close to St. Mark Square. We were lost a few times in the rain and at night but it was not difficult to locate once we got our bearing. I would easily rate this place a 12 out of 10 and would not hesitate to come back on our next Venice visit. We love you Valentina!!

The location of the hotel is fantastic. 10 minute walk to the Rialto Bridge or St Mark's Square. Although not large, the rooms were clean and well maintained and I doubt you will get big rooms in this type of location. Breakfast was nice and plentiful - eggs, meats, yogurts, croissants, etc. and fantastic coffee. ||We would definitely stay here again if (when!) we return to Venice and Valentina was the best host. She was really helpful and gave some very good tips of places to go.

We stayed here based on some reviews on hotels.com saying it was near St Mark's square and not too expensive. We had booked a regular room at first, but realized later that it shared a bathroom and wanted to switch a day later. At that point, the front desk said the only room still available was the supreme deluxe (most expensive) room, and we had paid a nonrefundable deposit already...so unless we wanted to lose it, we could either stay in our room or upgrade. We chose to upgrade, making this the most expensive place we stayed on our whole Europe tour. When we arrived, they demanded the extra cost of the room in cash because their credit card machine was "broken" (it stayed that way for our whole visit). The man in charge of the hotel was extremely patronizing and unhelpful in his attitude, leading us to ask as few questions as possible. This was NOT our experience with other hotels in Italy, where the front desk always had a smile and went out of their way to recommend local attractions. The room did have a nice view of one canal, but the windows faced a busy pedestrian walkway and people could see right into our room out of 2 of 3 windows. It was a 5-7 min walk from St Marks square, which was the one excellent thing about this hotel. The bathroom was miniscule and not well appointed with minimal toiletries. The daily breakfast was decent, but service was slow. We would wait a very long time to get refills of coffee, and often left early because the breakfast room was so small and crowded with guests knee-to-knee at adjacent tables. Go here if you don't mind sharing a bathroom (the separate one is tiny and way overpriced), don't mind strangers right outside your window, but want to be close to the action.
