Hotel Locanda Gaffaro

I and my partner stayed there for 4 days. It is a nice place: comfortable, very clean, quiet, the staff is very friendly and the location is really good (close to cafeterias, restaurants and the tourist places). Very recommendable.

Not hard to find with the help of goggle map. Place was clean and tidy and the reception provided some tips on getting the local transport after check in. Not far from train and bus station... around 10 minutes walk. As the buildings were very unique and not high (or more to local type of building), there was no lift provided. So have to remember this. Breakfast staff was also friendly and served us our coffee right to our table..... 👍

I reached Venice literally in a trouble water period. Luckly or unluckly I arrived in Venice during the high tide peak in mid-November. Actually, I booked a room for one single night at the Al Malcanton hotel. I was in Rome for a week and took a chance to go to Venice for a two-day round trip. When I got in Venice Santa Lucia train station, everything looked to be working as usual, except for the long footbridges built for the walkers. Al Malcanton is really close to the station but walking on the side of the channel was challenging. The narrow streets were completely flooded, and after buying a pair of cheap plastic boots that melted in five steps, my feet got completely wet. When I arrived at Al Malcanton place, the hotel was not accepting patrons for obvious reasons, but what my happiness when the front desk lady said that they had booked a room for me and my wife at the Locanda Gaffaro, which is located upstairs from Al Malcanton. What a bless taking a hot shower after walking in the cold water! What a charming property, located in a historic district. I spent the whole night at the bed, since I was not motivated to get outside in that night, but it was worthy. The other day started shiny, and I was quite impressed with the service of Locando Gaffaro. I will return soon to Venice hopefully during summer.
