Travellers Reviews
Submitted by Robyn Nelson, -, Australia
Very friendly and customer orientated staff.
...
Ca Riccio was well located to most attractions
and beautifully renovated. The bathrooms were
a highlight!
...
There were restricted hours specified for
liaising with the family. However the family
was very flexible in agreeing to us checking
out outside these hours.
...
POSITIVE:
• Delightful breakfast
• There are many stairs but the family was
happy to transport the luggage
...
An updated but typical Venetian home with
accommodation on the top floors - so beware of
carrying heavy luggage!
The accommodation was surprisingly modern and
tastefully decorated. The bathrooms were well
appointed and the breakfast a surprise every
day.

It was welcoming and warm and a relief after a long day to find such a great room with amazing service and charm.
...
This was our favorite stay out of our whole trip.
...
Incredibly helpful and warm staff that go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and welcome.
...
A warm and extremely clean room with a really comfortable bed, the friendliest people we met in Italy, a 'hit the spot' sweet breakfast. We would recommend it highly and plan to return one day!!!

Not all street names were on the map we had, & we were not sure how to get to the hotel so I phoned them.
Christiano Riccio was kind enough to come to the vaporetto stop to escort us to his hotel & helped with our luggage.
...
The room was absolutely wonderful. Although the mattress was too hard for me, it was fine for my husband. There was a softer single mattress 'cot' underneath our bed & it was perfect for me. Breakfast was in a lovely, cozy dining area & the pastry was always excellent.
...
Once again, Christiano was there to help. The staff was very gracious & I would highly recommend Ca Riccio! Hopefully, one day we will visit them again.

on arrival we were offered a nice cool drink which we truly appreciated and allowed to leave our luggage as we arrived far too early to take over the room so that we could just go out and enjoy venice
...
we were amazed that we had a little fridge and hairdryer neither of which were mentioned on web site. we also met people who had stayed there before that in itself speaks louder than words.we could not fault ca riccio and i have already contacted the owners to thank them.
...
no problems at all
...
the fridge and hairdryer and the ample dining space

cute and well worth the money exceptionally clean considering you are actually staying in venice because i viewed some dumps on the web

the hotel was easy to find, the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The room was ready.
...
The only problem we had was one morning - the Sunday when we had a lie in till 9 am, the water was cold in the shower. Apart from that all was very good.
...
I would say it is conveniently situated yet very quiet which is a good thing. It was very good value for money and extremely clean. I had recommended it to a friend even before we stayed there from the description on the web and wouldnt hesitate to stay there again or recommend it to my friends.

my only problem was with the bathroom, specifically the shower which could not cope with a normal amount of water and flooded. I did mention this but nothing improved.
...
Exceptionally nice staff, good breakfast, very quiet accommodation. It's situated in a very pleasant area of Venice with good 'local' shops and a very good atmosphere: lots of local residents too.

Submitted by Andrew Van der Velde, Swansea, Australia
The fact that we got lost is not surprising for Venice. This happened many times over the following three days and is part of the charm of this city. However upon arrival a simple map with landmarks eg the hospital, Fondamento Nuove and Rialto bridge would be appreciated.
...
Breakfast was 'Italian' with great coffee or tea. The room was spacious and very quiet.
...
Fantastic location especially if arriving by water to Fondamento Nuove.

The only improvement might be to bring some more bread or rolls at breakfast.
...
Very friendly to leave the bags in the lobby and leave some other bags in the private rooms of the family. So we enjoyed also the last day before we left Venice.
...
A small room for 2 adults and 2 kids, but as expected. It was declared for 3 people but we mentioned during booking that its not a problem when your younger daughter will sleep in parents bed.
Very nice people. A modern bathing room - which is not common in Italy. We absolutely will recommend it and will come back next year.

WE WERE VERY HAPPY WITH THE ACCOMMODATION EXCEPT WE HAD VERY HEAVY BAGS AND THERE WERE SIX FLIGHTS OF STAIRS TO GO UP BUT THE PEOPLE THERE WERE VERY HELPFUL AND ASSISTED US WITH OUR BAGS. THE ACCOMMODATION WAS GOOD AND THE BREAKFAST WAS ALSO. WE REALLY ENJOYED OUR STAY AT CA RICCO AND WOULD STAY THERE AGAIN IF EVER WE RETURNED TO VENICE.
...
EXCELLENT ACCOMMODATION AND VERY NICE PEOPLE

GOOD IN EVERY RESPECT

ONLY THAT THERE WERE A LOT OF STEPS TO NEGOTIATE IF YOU WERE STAYING ON THE TOP FLOOR

VERY GOOD ACCOMMODATION AND VALUE FOR MONEY I THOUGHT

The direction we had where not the correct ones, not sure why. When we phoned the desk, she came to pick us up, which was very helpful.
We really liked the accommodation and would recommed it to anyone going to Venice.
...
Enjoyed it very much, would recommended to anyone going to Venice.
...
Checking out was good, he suggested that we take a different route to the railway station, so that we wouldn't have any stairs. It worked out well.

Make sure you know where it is and follow the directions. Its so easy to get lost in Venice.

Really nice and clean, very pleasant stay.

Despite telling them we were arriving in the afternoon, we had to wait 3 hours before anyone was available.
...
The staff were delightfully helpful at all times. Breakfast in our room was excellent. Cleaning was of a very high standard.
...
A delightful small privately-owned B&B place within easy reach of the Rialto and St Mark's and with a good selection of shops, cafes and restaurants in easy reach.

When landed in Paris, I went to book our train reservation from Paris to Venice, only to be told that there were no seats available! Our only option was to delay our arrival by one day and when we showed up on the 5th of June, we weren't sure about having the reservation because we had been a 'no show' the night before.. I had tried calling but got no answer. In any case, we took the boat to Fondementate Nove, walked about for 15 minutes until we found the location. We rang the doorbell, we were greeted very well under the circumstances! We were given the room we rented, got great service & enjoyed the stay tremendlously!
...
Beautiful city, great location at Cà Riccio, quiet little place with big value! We loved the fact that we could walk to all the sites or take the boat to Murano. Thanks to all the staff and management. Great for our honeymoon but keep in mind for the seniors, lots of stairs.
...
We came back at 11:30 am not knowing that check-out was at 11, so the ckeck-out was taken care of when we arrived. Once again, great stay. Grazie! Ciao.. Eric & Yvonne
...
Big positive - LOCATION! Take the 52 or 51 from the train station, the 42 to get to Murano island.
...
Great location, quiet place, yet walking distance to all the hustle & bustle. Loved it!

The directions were confusing as you get off the water bus on Fuodamente Nuove. It said to turn left but it did not look like the right direction because of the construction. Maybe there should be signs pointing to Ca Riccio as soon as you get the water bus. After you get past the wooden stairs it was even more confusing and the map was no help at all. We came upon some people who pointed us to the right direction.
...
A room at Ca Riccio is like a room at a 4-star hotel! We couldn't have asked for more. We got more than what we paid for. The room with private bathroom was beautiful and very clean. The breakfast was excellent. The croissant was served warm and the servers were very attentive. We went to 4 cities and the room at Ca Riccio was far the best. I highly recommend the place.

Good quality Hotel in good position close to ferry boats and all main sights. Breakfast goo but minimal. Hotel is clean & staff helpful. Highly recommended.
Be sure to follow Hotel's recommendations and arrive via vaporetto to Fundamente Nuova as there are no steps between that wharf and the hotel.
Be sure to look for the Hotel's street Number as there is no large sign displayed - noly an intercom button.

Excellent value and location

Christian at Ca'Riccio was extrememly pleasant and great to work with! The room was fine and cozy. If someone is looking for a 4 star hotel, this is not it. However if you want to feel like you are welcomed into someone's home, this is the place. Truly enjoyable stay!
...
I don't remember if it states anything about the stairs on the website, but it should be mentioned that if you have trouble with stairs, this may not be a great location for you.
...
Small and cozy, clean bathrooms and general facilities... provided all the basics one would need for a trip to Venice. The location is close to just about everything, only a 10 minute walk to St. Marks, Rialto amongst others. Christian gave several great recommendations for restaurants within a 5 minute walk from the B&B.

Arriving in Venice must always be interesting, we were able to follow the directions given even though it was night time when we arrived.
...
We were very happy with the Hotel. When my sister was sick during the night they were helpful with getting a doctor and making us tea - much appreciated. What we would have liked is our own kettle and tea cups for making tea. The map supplied by them was a bit hard to read (photocopied) maybe just my eyes are getting old.
...
Very clean, quiet, nice view through window. Very polite staff with good command of English language. Just needed tea making facilities - these are always included in Australian and English hotels.

While it was not a negative for our party I think people should be warned that Ca Riccio is located up several flights of stairs with no lift. This may present a problem to some people.

We read on the web site that the B&B could be hard to dind. We called when we arrived by water taxi and the owner met us at the dock and lead us in, pointing out places to eat, etc on the way. We really appreciated that, although my husband was sure he could have found it himself.
...
We really enjoyed our stay. The room was decorated with a chandilere of Borono glass. Perfect for the room.
...
We left early to catch a water taxi and only had to leave our keys at the desk.

Quiet. A little out of the way, but worth the extra walk.

what a place to stay. we asked for a quiet room, with a view, as this was our honeymoon and thy didn't lt us down. our room was huge, with a great view out of the little window. We didn;t hear any other guest during our stay.
...
we had a very early flight and the hotel was very helpful, checking us out the day before and ensuring that we knew where to get the water bus from etc
...
lots of stairs into the hotel, from the street, then further on to our room. not for the elderly or frail (but then is venice?)
...
the hotel is in a perfect location, very near to the rialto bridge, but quiet and private. rooms are very comfortable and spacious and the family who run the hotel are very helpful

We quite enjoyed our stay at Ca Riccio. The staff was quite accomodating - calling us in the a.m. to doublecheck that we wanted breakfast (we often slept in). The rooms were very clean and well-decorated, and noise was never an issue.
...
The staff was kind enough to hold our bags for us after we'd checked out and allowed us to keep our keys until after we'd picked up our bags.
...
A clean, quaint inn with tasteful decor and accomodating staff. Its location is great - short walking distance from San Marco and the Rialto. The complimentary breakfast is light and tasty! Definitely a bargain!

Well, what a fabulous place. Have been to Venice several times and stayed in many different places but this has got to be the best.Staff were really friendly and even helped us with our Italian(which is very limited) Would recommend this place to anybody wishing to stay in the 'heart' of Venice.Full marks to Ca Riccio.We hope to be returning real soon!!

All of Venice is so accessable from this hotel.Its also located off the main thoroughfare so you dont get woken up at 6 oclock in the morning by the hustle and bustle of people walking past.

We loved Ca'Riccio! Everyone that worked there was friendly..very family oriented. Our room was wonderful with a little balcony. We would recommend Ca'Riccio to anyone visiting Venice; it is in a quiet neighborhood and we were able to go all the places we wanted to easily from there. Thank you so much!

The breakfast of cafe, croissant, juice and yogurt was just right to start the day. There was a refrigerator in our room tokeep snacks, etc. Hair dryer in the bathroom.

We arrived earlier than predicted and our room was not ready as it was only 11.30 in the morning, but we were made welcome and allowed to leave our luggage in our room and change into shorts as we were hot from travelling.
...
The room was air-conditioned (even the corridors were cool leading to the room) which was very welcoming after being out all day in the humid heat and sun. We had a lovely breakfast and it was very quiet and peaceful to sleep.
...
As our flight was not until 10.30 in the evening, we were allowed to keep our luggage in the hotel all day, and was given an outdoor key to gain access in the evening to collect our luggage. This was so useful as it saved us carrying it around all day.
...
cant think of anything at all
...
I would thoroughly recommend it to a friend.It was typically italian, very clean, lots of lovely furniture and interesting ornaments. Nice background music played whist we ate breakfast. The owners were very helpful in directing us to different locations. There were a lot of stairs but after walking miles each day, they were nothing to complain about. There were useful books about Venice in the reception area that we could borrow as a guide as to what to visit.

I think the directions were a bit unclear. They obvious tried their best but they need to modify a bit (somewhere a right was actually a left etc.)and of course it is easy to get lost in the Venice in any way.
...
Excellent accommodation (in context of the rate of course) and I will recommend it to friends or visitors and will go there again myself. Not often that accommodation is better than what one can gather from the website - usually a lot worse, so this was a pleasant experience. (Maybe a curtain in the shower will help??)
...
Unfortunately no lift if you have heavy luggage but when we arrived we were helped with the luggage.
...
Because everyone says Venice accommodation is very very expensive we were a bit worried because usually you get less than what you pay for in 'cheaper' places. I got what we hoped for and more - very clean (most important), spacious enough, nice bathroom and towels, aircon etc. and a simple but good breakfast and nice and friendly staff. The location is also very convenient.

We had informed the hotel we would be arriving quite late. I telephoned them once we arrived at the train station and they were very accommodating, waiting up for us and even confirming the directions we were given to reach the hotel. Venice is confusing, but the directions were well written, you just have to pay attention.

Our room was in the attic and it was a little bit warm, but the room was very clean & spacious.

Very good hotel with exceptionally friendly and helpful people. We were able to leave our luggage on the last day and were given keys to collect it when we were ready to go home.A very enjoyable stay.

Submitted by Stephen
The on line address did not include the exact street name. I am still not convinced that Ca' Riccio is located as is shown on the on-line map. The only sign for Ca' Ricco is a small (1.5 x 5 cm) brass sign on the door, along with about 4 or 5 other similar sized signs for the other residents. Quite frankly, I would not change this by adding a larger sign. The small sign adds to the quaintness and gives a feeling of being a Venice resident. However, perhaps the on-line instructions should indicate that the only sign is very small and that the door can be identified by the flower boxes on each side.
...
Ca' Riccio is run by the family. We dealt with the sister and brother, I believe. They were very helpful and very courteous. However, we had the feeling that they were a bit uncomfortable dealing with us, perhaps because of the language, perhaps because they were busyy, or perhaps for other reasons. Dealing with clients is always a challenge. Some clients are flexible and some are very difficult. We suggest that the Ca' Ricco family should relax. They were just perfect and should only try to do their best to accomodate their clients. They should expect that some clients will be impossible to please and they should relax and enjoy the interaction with the other clients.
...
I checked 'very good value' above. However, this is a qualified response. Because of the weak position of the US Dollar during this period, everything in Europe is very expensive for US citizens.
...
A street address including the street name should be included. I also suggest that the Ca' Riccio family should prepare more detailed instructions on how to find the hotel. Theses can then be 'cut and pasted' into an e-mail and sent to each client who books a firm reservation. I suggest that the instructions should read something like 'We suggest that you take the vaporetto to the Fondamenta Nuevo landing. Alternate routes may appear to be shorter on a map, but those routes require that you go up and down the steps of the bridges over canals. Consequently, they are much more difficult. When exiting the vaporetto landing at Fondamenta Nuevo, turn to the left and go approximately xx meters to [the street named _____] . Turn to the right down [the street named ______] for approximately xx meters until the street named ____. ....----...... About xx meters from the end of [the street named ______] you will see a door with two flower boxes mounted on either side. There several very small (1.5 x 5 cm) brass signs on that door. One of these signs reads Ca' Riccio. You have arrived. Ring the bell and we will come down to welcome you.'
...
Very nice, very new, excellent ambience,and with very good owners.
Regarding the question on 'privacy level' below --I do not understand if this is for the publishing of the review on line or if it relates to comments passed to Ca'Riccio. Of course, it is perfectly OK to pass my full review, name and any other data to Ca'Ricco.

We arrived in the dark and in the rain. We followed the directions and found the hotel with very little problem. It might help if people were told how short the distance really is. We were greated by a young woman that could not have been more helpful. She even helped carry our luggage up the steps.
...
Loved the place. If we ever go back to Venice we would book the hotel again.
...
Everything in Venice is expensive, and even though we thought that the price was high, it was reasonable for Venice and the service we got.
...
The hotel is on a small street not too far from the lagoon and the vaporetto stop. It is a also not too far from St. Mark's square and the Rialto Bridge. It was clean and the staff was very polite and helpful. All in all a great stay.

Room on the third floor. No lift, so taking luggage up the stairs was a struggle! However, to be fair, I was already expecting that from reading other's comments.
The service was excellent and the room was very nice as well. We were very happy with our stay there and it helped to make our trip to Venice even better!

Wonderful--clean, decorated in a non-pretentious and stylish way, with very good service. Do not count much on the breakfast--very little, barely enough to give you energy to walk to a restaurant.

We arrived mid-morning during housekeeping hours, yet our room was clean and ready for us.
...
We needed to check out the day before we actually left Venice and the staff was very accommodating.

Breakfast is either served in your room at your requested time or in the elegant dining area.

A lovely place overlooking a private courtyard.
The room and dining area were nicely furnished.
A friendly and polite staff.

Ca Riccio is a beautiful small hotel and a perfect place to stay in Venice. We enjoyed it very much. We will recommend it to our friends and we would like to stay there again next time in venice.

The directions provided definitely need improvement. Venice is a difficult city in which to find your way around, house numbers are not sequential, and very specific directions are needed. The house is not well identified so clients need to be told to look for the small placard marked Ca Riccio (one of several other names) on the door.
...
The room was lovely and we enjoyed our stay.
...
One area that needs improvement is that the staff need to be more available to customers. Right now, staff are only available during very limited hours. In general, we felt the staff put their own needs above those of their customers. The Riccio family has a beautiful property and if staff were more available, the B&B would really be successful.
...
The best aspect of Ca Riccio is that you feel as if you are living in a real Venetian home. The only negative is that staff are seldom available to answer questions or address any needs or problems. For example, we were unable to operate the satellite TV and had to wait until the next morning for help.
...
Beautiful, friendly B&B accomodation well situated in Venice. A place where you feel as if you are living in a real Venetian home. However, be aware that staff is seldom available so you will not receive a lot of help here so you must be prepared to survive on your own.

The directions are easy, as soon as you find Calle de Fumo, which supposedly starts directly at the waterside. This is incorrect. First it is called Calle de Buranelli and goes over into Calle de Fumo.Therefore one of course looks and loooks... and can't find it.

My girlfriend dropped a plastic bag with a bottle of red wine in it and that on top of a long trip to get to Venice made her not easy to handle ; ) Christian, the receptionist not only carried our luggage, but also was able to react to her in the only right way and that was not sth he could have done out of his long experiences, but because he really responded to the given situation.
Also even with having recuperated from a knee operation on the 9th of June and beeing overweight, I had no troubles to climb the stairs as I had expected before from what I read in the critics on the hotels informativ internet site.
The sunday breakfast, a mini fruit cakecookie and a yoghurt was a joke, but the ambiente of the breakfast room and our room was great.
Only the shower had a curtain that made it impossible not to flood the whole bathroom while showering.
...
Easy, perfect, friendly, helpful.

The owners are wonderful! They were helpful in every way. The accommodations were excellent - tasteful, artistic, comfortable, the people accommodating - we couldn't ask for more! The problem with the directions was totally our fault, as we forgot to bring the directions with us (!) and only remembered 'near the Rialto Bridge' , so we took it upon ourselves to find the way. We did eventually get there, but not by the easier (and closer route) that was suggested.
We loved the place, the location and the people! This made our stay in Venice very pleasant and we felt like we 'lived in the neighborhood.'

The staff were extremely polite and friendly.
Ca Riccio is very well located in relation to public transport, attractions and restaurants. It is also very private.
The room was cosy, very clean, well presented and had a lovely feel to it but the beds were very hard; the mattresses not good.
The accommodation is advertised as non-smoking but there was often smoke lingering in the reception area.
...
We were very grateful to be able to leave our luggage stored at Ca Riccio for the day after checking out, and to have articles left behind in the room placed with our luggage.
...
Advertise that you are family friendly.
International TV is advertised. This was not a major concern for us but there was only 1 english speaking channel and it was not suitable for family viewing.

Das Zimmer im Dachgeschoss war geräumiger als erwartet und sehr zweckmäßig eingerichtet. Lediglich die Kapazität des Schrankes war etwas karg bemessen und das hochliegende Fenster in der Dachschräge gab nur den Blick in den Himmel frei.

Our room #2 was the worst of all: we had a
glimpse of a couple of other rooms, and they
were infinitely better. Room 2 is very small,
the bathroom is tiny and quite inconvenient.
We were not aware how different double rooms
are at this property.

...
1. Stay away from room 2
2. The owners are usually there only in the
middle of the day, so if you have a
question/problem you need to make an effort to
catch them (we, as most visitors, are gone
during the day)

The directions were fine but there should be a warning that the street signs are not clearly visible on both sides (you must look back to see it). We missed the first street turn because we were only looking in front of us and dragged our luggage up and down 3 stair cases and back. You could also add 'turn after the 2nd street', for instance.
...
Breakfast was great! Full service and very attentive.
...
We had to check out at 6am and could not get in touch with anyone the morning of despite having warned them of the early checkout. My only complaint was that the provided emergency numbers either didn't work or nobody picked up.
...
See comment on directions above. Not sure if you warned about no lifts or not. Everything else was great! The location was wonderful and far enough from the center that it wasn't loud.

It was very clean, cute and nice. Our room was a little smaller than I had expected.

The directions could be made much clearer. Also I would recommend that you advise clients that there are many steps in the property. If someone was to arrive with heavy luggage then they would find it very difficult.
...
The shower cubicle in our room was disappointing. It had no proper curtain, due to the siting of the shower cubicle. The curtain hung losely and therefore often blocked the drain hole which could easily lead to flooding.
...
The staff didi not want to be paid by debit card. They prefered cash which proved to be difficult. As debit card withdrawals from cash tills are limited on any one day. If clients knew this then they could be prepared.
...
Only as above. Also there is a lovely area to eat your breakfast. You do not need to eat in your room.

Excellent value for money, friendly, spotlessly clean and in a good location. Indeed a friend has already booked to go!!!!!

The receptionist was a woman, who wanted get rid of the check-in formalities as soon as possible without any further questions from us. For example we remarked that the frigo bar did not contain all the stuff it was listed on check list ('a bill') and when we remarked about this the answer was that it is another persons job. So somebody might have claimed that we had enjoyed the missing drinks - but luckily this did not happen.
...
'.. small and lovely courtyard or gardens...'
The renovation of the building disturbed some this idyl, and it looked like the scaffoldings had stood there for a longer time?
We are coffee-heavy-users, thats why we liked to have more than one tiny cop of coffee for our breakfeast. We asked if it would be possible to have more coffee than one Italien coffee (Il caffè), and we got this. We are still very thankful for this service.

I was unable to find the accommodation as the sign on the door was not clear. I had to ask in a nearby shop and the proprietor rang to Ca Riccio and a young man came to fetch me.
...
Apart from my arrival and during breakfast I never met anyone from the owners family. This caused a problem when I had to leave very early and could not find anyone to pay. I had left several messages acknowledging the problem but in the end had to leave without paying for my second night. I left a note with my contact details.
