Palazzo Ca' Bernardo By Francesco Molon

What an absolute treat staying in this lovely old palazzo. I felt like royalty! The location is fabulous and Andrea the owner was extremely helpful. Nothing was a problem at all. He even helped me book a porter from the train station to carry my luggage. The apartment had a small kitchen but I didn’t need it because I was out for all meals to so many nearby restaurants, many recommended by Andrea.

Posto pazzesco al centro di Venezia!

I liked the spaciousness of the 2-bedrooms with 1.5 bathrooms, and it had the grandeur I wanted. Location was good for exploring, shopping, dining, and morning coffee, etc... The host arranged for a luggage porter from the train station, and it is highly recommended. Be sure to negotiate taking luggage up three flights of the 18th-century stairs. I liked the opportunity to use the use public spaces The on-site check-in host was very helpful, and the owner responded relatively quickly to questions

There were many pros and cons. Depending on your reason for booking, the pros and cons may balance out. The three flights of 1st-century stairs may be a challenge for some. I didn't like that I had to enter the suite through a bedroom to get to the other bedroom. Although the place was beautiful, some surfaces were a bit dusty, and the mirrors needed some attention to sparkle. There was no hanging storage, no irons, no microwave,

This is a showroom for a designer of classic-eclectic furniture and there are price tags on many of the pieces. The bathtub is very deep and very comfortable.

Although advertised as having air conditioning, the manager stated that since the temperature outside was less than 25 Celsius, it was not going to be turned on. The minibar is an empty refrigerator and the manager stated that it is fine to drink tap water. The coffee house on site is over the bridge, turn right and go down two blocks on the left. The manager refused to accept cash for the city tax which I believe is illegal. The beds are the most uncomfortable beds I have slept on in Venice. The sheets are cheap, thin and do not fit the bed. Because there was no air conditioning available and the manager opened the windows as a means of cooling, mosquitoes buzzed and bit me all night long. The only goal in having this space is to make money while trying to sell furniture. Hospitality is not even an afterthought.
