This was a perfect B&B. My wife and I stayed here for a few days while touring Italy. Alessandro was the perfect host. Cappuccinos every morning with fresh pastries from the best local bakery. Impeccable rooms.

We asked for a restaurant recommendation and he HAND DREW us a map on a piece of paper. If you have been to Venice then you realize what an amazing feat this was. Every little nook, turn, plaza, bridge, river... hand drawn from memory to get us to this killer restaurant.

I can't say enough. Just 100% perfect B&B. Can't recommend enough. Would stay there again without a doubt. (Alessandro sorry it took us so long to write your review. Cheers!)

This B&B is the perfect place for your stay in Venice close to Rialto bridge in a quiet area. The host Allesandro was very friendly and helpful. We felt like staying at a friends place. The room was nicely refurbished. We took the room with the jacuzzi and this was definitely worth. All in all we can highly recommend this place.

I would give Ca' Barba 10 stars if I could. All the other reviewers' positive comments about the B&B are absolutely true: the rooms are beautiful and well maintained, the location is perfect (on a quiet tiny side street, but an easy walk to the vaporetto, restaurants, and sites), the breakfast delicious. We stayed in Room 201, the "suite" room, which was especially spacious and lovely, with a great bathroom and jacuzzi tub. But along with all this, I also want to add a heartfelt thanks to Alessandro for his help and aid. We were scheduled to stay at the B&B for six nights and then move on to Rome, but my husband became ill upon our arrival in Venice. Alessandro not only helped arrange a water taxi to the hospital's emergency room, but also made it possible for us to stay another night in the B&B. When my husband was still not feeling well enough for us to travel on, as we'd planned, Alessandro rented us his three-bedroom apartment in Dorsoduro, a very short distance from the Frari church. You can see info on the apartment on the Ca' Barba web site. It is huge and beautiful, large enough for five or six people, and we felt like royalty as we had all that space to ourselves. The apartment location is perfect, very close to a supermarket as well as restaurants, an internet cafe, and what Alessandro assured us was the best pastry shop in Venice. (He was right.) Thank you, Alessandro, for your kindness.

We stayed at Ca' Barba for 3 nights in November. The B&B is in a great location, just down from the Rialto Bridge and about 5 minutes walk from the Rialto Bridge Vaporetto stop. It's an easy walk to both Piazzale Roma and Piazza San Marco.

Alessandro was really helpful to us during our stay. He recommended that we leave Venice and visit the islands on Sunday when Venice was really busy, which was just the best advice. I can definitely recommend visiting the islands of San Giorgio, Burano and Torcello if you have time.

Breakfast was delicious every morning, with a good section of pastries, cheese, yoghurt and parma ham. Alessandro makes a really good cappuccino.

We stayed in two rooms during our stay, room 102 and room 201. Room 102 had a jacuzzi shower which had great water pressure, but it was nice to spend two nights in room 201 with the jacuzzi bath. Definitely worth it after wandering around Venice for the day.

We really enjoyed our stay at Ca' Barba and would definitely recommend it to everyone.
