Ca’ Sagredo Hotel, Venice
Ca’ Sagredo Hotel is a breathtaking 14th-century Byzantine-Gothic palace perched directly on the Grand Canal. Originally built by the influential Morosini family, it was later purchased by the prestigious Sagredo family, who were renowned patrons of the arts. The property is so historically significant that it has been declared a National Monument, offering guests the rare opportunity to stay within a preserved piece of Venetian history.
The hotel is essentially a private museum. Its interiors are adorned with authentic 17th and 18th-century masterpieces, including stunning ceiling frescoes by artists like Pietro Longhi and Giambattista Tiepolo. One of the property’s most iconic features is the magnificent grand staircase, designed by Andrea Tirali in 1732, which serves as a dramatic centerpiece of the palace’s aristocratic legacy.
Beyond its artistic grandeur, the hotel offers a refined, tranquil atmosphere. Guests can enjoy a meal at the L’Alcova restaurant, which features a terrace overlooking the water—perfect for watching gondolas drift by. It feels like stepping back five centuries into the life of a Venetian noble, yet it remains perfectly comfortable for the modern traveler.
Its location in the Cannaregio district is ideal for those who want to be close to the action without being in the thick of the tourist crush. You are only a short, scenic walk from the iconic Rialto Bridge, and the famous St. Mark’s Square is easily reached by a pleasant stroll or a quick vaporetto ride, making it a perfectly situated base for your Venetian adventure.
Expert reviews
“A bastion of Old World elegance in the peaceful Cannaregio neighborhood, Ca’Sagredo is housed in a 15th-century palace. It showcases some of the best-preserved interiors in Venice.”
Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Venice.
“The sheer beauty of Ca’ Sagredo Hotel is weep-with-joy wondrous. As you pull up alongside the Grand Canal, you’ll need to pinch yourself, and again when you step inside. This 15th-century palazzo has been declared a National Monument and it’s certainly a monument to decadence!”
“Ca’ Sagredo Hotel is an Italian national monument, but the Venice boutique hotel stands out for two other reasons: first, the meticulous preservation of the palace’s original frescoes, stuccoes, paintings, and other works of art, and its dazzling location on the Grand Canal just across from the famous Rialto market.”
“One of the grandest dames of the Grand Canal, this salmon-pink 14th-century palazzo near the Ca’ d’Oro and Casino was built by the Sagredo family and only became a hotel in 2007 — and even then it was designated a national monument.”

Very pleasant staff
Location and ambiance
Carpets and furnishings look grubby. Hotel could do with some simple refurbishments.

Venice has many beautiful hotels so you are better not staying here!
The location of the Hotel is great and the historic aesthetics stunning. It’s a very old building with some beautiful antique furniture to match.
In many areas of our room it simply wasn’t clean. Appreciate the age of the building and the historic preservation can cause challenges on certain things. However mould is simply not acceptable in any hotel never mind a 5 star one charging these high room rates and the use of a hoover causes no damage to the room.
However the most disappointing thing was the poor attitude of the staff. Really no customer focus, no engagement with guests and a let down to a 5 star hotel.

A good location, nice restaurant staff otherwise poor and overpriced
The location is great and the restaurant staff were very professional and helpful.
The hotel is extremely tired looking, furniture in hallways and the walls in need of painting. There is a vaporetto station outside the hotel which wakes you up at 6.30-7am and can keep you awake at night. Room cleaning was haphazard. For the cost you can find a better option.

The most beautiful stay in Venice!
Our stay at this super cute, historic hotel was absolutely wonderful, thanks to the exceptional customer service from the entire staff. We were visiting for our honeymoon and had simply requested a room with a window if one happened to be available — and to our surprise, they upgraded us to a spectacular room overlooking the Grand Canal at no extra cost.
They also kindly allowed us to use the hotel for an indoor photo session, which made our trip even more special. The breakfast was excellent every morning, with truly superb service, and the best coffee I had in Venice was served there. On our last day, they even welcomed us in before official breakfast hours because we had an early flight to the airport.
Thank you all for making our stay so memorable and special. We would gladly return!

High quality stay!
From interior design to overall service, everything was 10/10. The location of the hotel is great and walk distance to most important attractions. Plus, the bed and room are big that offer perfect space. The hotels terrace is impeccable. The member staffs are warm and welcoming and professional.
There isn’t anything I didn’t like. The only thing I would want it to have a gym, but this is more of a personal choice.

Stunning art in stunning rooms, unbeatable!

A fabulous 4 day break. 100% recommend. Will definitely return there!
The staff were all so professional, friendly and informative. Difficult to single anyone out as they were all excellent.
The Presidential Suite we stayed in was absolutely amazing with stunning views of the Grand Canal.
The terrace for drinks & dinner was a perfect spot.
The Music Room/Ballroom off of the breakfast room with music playing each morning was a beautiful relaxing ambiance.
Great position for water taxis to & from places, & also near to public transport. The gondola ‘ferry’ next to the hotel across to the Rialto Market for €2 was so useful!
There was nothing we didn’t like! Breakfast was great but potentially not as comprehensive choice as befitted the property, but no complaints. Staff were fantastic.

A good location and beautiful Italian hotel.
Exceptional location and easy restaurants, cafes and bars less than ten minutes walk. Easy to get to from the public ferry service that operates in Venice.

I feel hurt and overcharged
Location and general look of the hotel
We stayed in Ca’Sagredo hotel in room 405 from 19Jun2025 till 22Jun2025.
Please consider this email message as a complaint about housekeeping service.
We complained twice during our stay about black mold on the tiles around the bath tub and no action has been made. It’s not acceptable for the 5 star hotel to show inglorious attitude towards their guests.

Nice hotel in a great location but the staff really let the experience down
I liked how big the rooms were.
The staff gave no information about the hotel. They all come across like they aren’t interested in being there. They told me nothing about breakfast times, the WiFi, where things were in the hotel, what it had to offer
30 April 2025
Basically nice but overvalued and failing basic things that should not happen for the price paid!
The location, the basic infrastructure was very good
The internet does not work at all!!!!
The breakfast of 44 euro pp is absolute not al all worth the money
All kind of little things like airco and shower pe do not work properly

Magical winter break.
The Ca Sagredo is a beautiful old Venetian palace. We had one of their more modest rooms, but it was elegant, clean and well appointed, and the view over the Grand Canal was fabulous. The buffet breakfast was excellent and the meal we ate in the restaurant was pricey, but delicious. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel is conveniently situated near the Ca D'Oro vaparetto stop.

No value for money. It’s a 3 stars hotel

5 Stars L hotel just on the wall !!!! No complementary water in the room, no additional shampoo an shower fell. Terrible and poor breakfasts. Terrible white lights at the antrace (it looks like a graveyard)!!!

A beautiful historic building. Excellent breakfast selection. Close to Rialto bridge and a leisurely walk to St Marks Square.

Nice hotel with friendly staff but not sure if the hotel deserved 5 stars.
Nice location and terrace, friendly personnel
Not even free water bottles in the room, very noisy walls of the room that let in every sound of other hotel guests

Ca' Sagredo is Venice personified
Bedroom furniture, breakfast and overall grandeur/sense of history

Beautiful palace stay on the Grand Canal
This is the 2nd time we stayed here and the place is Gold! Room, location, staff, food, excellent. Right next to vaporetto station. Private dock in front. Chose water taxi pick up from airport. Later took water taxi to end of island Santa Elana. On departure we took vaporetto to mainland to pick up our rental car, like 3 stops very easy. Cocktails, lunch and dinner outstanding. Breakfast is over the top in a palace library room with frescoes. Highly recommend.
I wish the rooftop bar was open. But they will bring drinks up from the bar to the rooftop sitting area. Wish there were more seats for dinner. If your making a last minute choice of the restaurant chances are you can't get in; every night sold out.

Perfectly located - wish I could have stayed longer!
The room was very comfortable (bed/pillows) and the bathroom was well appointed with the usual toiletries (shampoo, shower gel etc), plus some additional (razor, toothbrush, shoe sponge). Was nice to have slippers. Excellent air con.
I found it odd - especially on such a sweltering day - that there was no complimentary bottled water in the room. Certainly, cheaper hotels offer this so it was disappointing not to see this from Ca’ Sagredo.
It was also odd to have breakfast service start so late - 8am. This is no good for those with early flights or for eager tourists who want to get a head start on the morning rush. Thankfully, I only discovered the late start after I had gone down at 7.30, to find the lovely staff happy to accommodate me early. Another couple came down not realising the late start and where also accommodated, but I would strongly recommend the hotel look at an earlier start to their breakfast service to avoid dissatisfaction of future guests.

lovely atmospheric hotel in central location
lovely historic hotel in a great location. magical dinner on the terrace overlooking the canal. staff were all friendly and helpful
not as clean as it should have been

Great location for a Venetian experience.
Great location.
The overall level of service was not as expected. The attention to detail was lacking. A key feature was not available as the roof top terrace was not open.

Beautiful historical hotel in a nice area of Venice.
Big room, very clean, nice and friendly staff. Air conditioning was also a huge plus considering the heat in the periods we stayed there.
It was a bit pricy, but also understandable considering it’s in Venice.

Avoid it. Not 5 stars by any modern metric.
