Due to the hotel's location, many rooms have a picturesque view of the Grand Canal, which is the perfect backdrop for Italian pastries and coffee in the mornings. The hotel is close to St Mark's Square, home of the famous bell tower and basilica, yet far enough away that it is still peaceful at night.
Staff members are very knowledgeable about what to see and do around Venice, according to guest reviews. They all speak fluent English, offer coffee upon arrival and help carry bags up to guest rooms. Most are available at any time of the day or night, and all staff members are reportedly extremely attentive to guest needs.
According to guests, the grand room furnishings and intimate charm make the San Cassiano Residenza d'Epoca Ca' Favretto feel more like a traditional historical Venetian home than a hotel, complete with all the comforts of modern amenities like Wi-Fi and air-conditioning.
Whilst some find the furnishings at this hotel charming, others report that they are outdated and the hotel - minus the bathrooms - seems not to have been updated in quite some time; apparently most of the furniture has seen better days.
The hotel doesn't have an elevator, so accessibility can be challenging for guests in wheelchairs and those who have trouble with stairs because of asthma or other medical conditions.
If arriving at the hotel on foot or via public transport other than the water taxi, the narrow and maze-like streets of Venice can make it surprisingly difficult to find the entrance of the hotel - even with a map. Of course this is typical of Venice so you may wish to take note of clear instructions before making your way to the hotel.
