I stayed there when they had the floods. It’s more of a Bed And Breakfast than a hotel, which has its advantages. Here is my honest review. Pros- GREAT staff, normally 1 or 2 during day. Very helpful!!!! Breakfast was simple, but good. Location was excellent!!!! Older furniture that matches the decor and charming. Shared bathroom was not an issue. Same as a house. CLEAN Very quiet location Cons When the staff is not there sometimes during the day and not at night, you have no access to the small dining room. So if you are wanting to go in and relax while reading the paper or laptop, you can’t. And there’s not a typical lobby to sit down in. So your room is the only option. No TVs. To me this wasn’t necessarily an issue. I normally went for a run in the morning, came back, cleaned up, and I was gone for the day. To end, I enjoyed my stay. The staff, cleanliness and location were the key points that I normally look for.

This hotel has previously been advertised as providing AC in the amenities listed. So naturally, when I stayed here, I was under the impression there would be AC, but when I arrived I found out that there was not. It is EXTREMELY HOT, even with a fan. I do not recommend unless you are accustomed to no AC. I have elevated this to several unhelpful members of Expedia’s staff, who did not offer any solution. Keep in mind that Expedia has no interest in ensuring that you have a good experience, as their lack of service recovery has been disappointing. They did remove AC from the amenities, but have refused to make it right otherwise. We’ll NEVER book through Expedia again.

Lovely Little Hotel Near San Marco and Rialto

Venice was quite hot and consequently the lack of AC made it difficult to sleep even with the overhead ceiling fan. Hotel is lovely and at a quite reasonable price point for it's location. If you book, get detailed information about how to best access the hotel including precise directions via landmarks. It is a great location but difficult to find by Google Maps or other maps. Take water us from train station to Rialto.... it's well worth it. Easy 5 minute walk from there with suitcase trolly with no bridges to negotiate. Breakfast was simple but adequate with coffee or cappuccino offered.. with croissants, fruit, juice and hard boiled eggs...and traditional Italian fair....Hosts we're very helpful and accommodating.

Petrarca in Venetië

Een heerlijke romantische Casa. Geen grote kamer maar passend bij Venetië. De gastvrouw was zeer vriendelijk en attent om ons een prettige tijd te geven in haar stad. Ik zou weer teruggaan. Verrassend om het bekende St Marco plein om de hoek te ontdekken. Heerlijk om daar dan ‘s avonds even naar toe te kunnen lopen. Ik/ wij hebben genoten en heerlijk geslapen in de rust van deze fijne Casa.

Value for money hotel at a great location

Locanda Casa Petrarca is located in Rialto. It is so convenient walking distance to Saint Marco and Accademia. The host upgraded our room to a deluxe room with a canal view which is a rare bonus. The room is very clean and spacious. The host is very accommodating and cook scramble eggs for us which was not on the breakfast menu. Staff is very friendly. I will definitely recommend my friends to stay at this hotel. Value for money.

The property is small, but clean, modernized (with an elevator if needed) and very nice given it is located in such an ancient building. In the picture below the sign is a canal with gondolas going past! The location is fantastic-a short walk to St. Mark's square or Rialto Bridge, where the water taxi will take you directly to the airport. Valentina was very nice and provided us with everything we needed, including a very nice breakfast. When we left for the airport, we forgot our passports, Valentina arranged to have someone bring them to the airport. Superb visit and place, would go back tomorrow!

Wonderful service at a lovely, central hotel

I was hesitant about this hotel, but ended up loving it. We had a room with a shared bathroom, which is not usually so comfortable. But the price and location were great, so we decided to go for it and put up with a mediocre hotel stay. Valentina and her team completely turned our expectations around! Their level of service made our stay exceptionally wonderful. The room we were staying in was old fashioned, but lovely. Breakfast was delicious. We’re early birds and often ended up missing breakfast some days because we wanted to use our mornings to explore, so one time the staff actually made us a to-go bag with juice and water, and made sure we had some croissants and sandwiches to take with us! It was such a sweet gesture and really made our day. The location is also incredible. If you go one way, you hit Rialto Bridge in 3-5 minutes. If you go the other way, you’re in San Marco Square. It really could not be better. The bottom line is – this is a great hotel for travelers on a budget. Sure, it’s not the most fancy option possible – the walls are a little thin so it can be loud (but we had considerate neighbors so it was okay), of course having to share a bathroom is not so great (but you can book a private room if that’s a big problem), and maybe the furniture is not luxurious (who cares, really). If you want luxury, maybe a more expensive hotel is better. But for the price and location, plus the level of service, I doubt you can find a better option.

This hotel is in a great location - a few minutes walk from Saint Marks square and the Academia bridge. It was easy to access from the Rialto ferry stop and our room opened onto a canal which was amazing. Breakfast was nice and the room was very clean. Our hostess pointed out all the best sights and gave us a map. Great hotel for the price point.

Good location. Terrible for staying.

Calling Locanda Casa Petrarca a hotel is misleading. BB is more accurate. Pricing is three (3) star but it is actually only a one (1) star hotel/BB. Breakfast was very, very basic and served in a tiny, designated room. The hotelroom was very small and came with a washbasin. Shower and toilet on the hallway to be shared.
