Ca’ Maria Adele is a true Venetian hidden gem, located in the quiet, artistic Dorsoduro district. Housed in a building that dates back to the 16th century, it was originally a residence for the patriarchs of Venice. Today, it has been transformed into one of the city’s most romantic and intimate boutique hotels, blending deep history with modern luxury.
The interiors are famously bold, designed by the hotel’s owners to tell stories of Venetian history through different themes. You’ll find rooms inspired by the city’s past as a trade hub, featuring exotic textiles, dark woods, and dramatic lighting. A unique feature is the “Doges” suite, which offers a private terrace overlooking the Grand Canal—an incredibly rare find in such a historic, protected area.
This hotel is perfect for those who want to avoid the crowds of St. Mark’s Square while staying close to the culture. You are just steps away from the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, one of the world’s most important museums for modern art, and the stunning Santa Maria della Salute church, which is practically your neighbor.
Beyond the art, you can easily wander to the Zattere promenade for a sunset stroll along the water. It’s an ideal spot for travelers looking for a refined, theatrical, and deeply atmospheric stay. Whether you are sipping an espresso in the opulent lounge or exploring the quiet backstreets of Dorsoduro, the hotel offers a uniquely personal window into the soul of Venice.
Expert reviews
“Most Venetian hotels take opulence to the max, but few amp up the romance as much as Ca’ Maria Adele, a 12-room bolthole on Dorsoduro, next to the iconic Salute church.”
“Ca Maria Adele takes Venetian style to baroque extremes in five statement concept rooms. Additional Deluxe rooms and two top-floor suites are equally plush, and the air of warm, welcoming urbanity in this very grown-up hotel by the church of Santa Maria della Salute extends into the Palazzetto 113 annexe next door.”

Cozy getaway in Venice
Beautiful hotel in an ideal location close to Basilica della Salute. Room was clean and with all the comforts, we even got upgraded to a room with a very cute terrace facing ‘La Giudecca’. The staff was extremely friendly and professional. Very good breakfast with plenty of choice.
We liked everything :)

Elegant, comfortable stay in an historic and beautiful building.
I like this hotel so much we used it to as the base for our daughter's wedding 18 years ago. Two decades later and it still impresses with its stunning but quiet location (essential in Venice during the season) and artfully decorated rooms. Breakfasts were excellent.
It's pricey - but not Bezos pricey.

Honeymoon trip at Ca Maria Adele was a dream!
Ca Maria Adele welcomed us for our honeymoon with open arms. The staff was attentive from the moment we booked via Booking.com. They offered to book our water taxi from the train station and were available for all our needs. When we checked in they greeted us with champagne and snacks while our bags were taken to our room. The hotel asks you leave your keys with the front desk when you head out and this is so they can clean while you’re gone. I’ve never experienced a hotel that cleaned our space as much as Ca Maria Adele! We never had to deal with trash and dirty towels in our space. The food and breakfast room were amazing and the rooms themselves were stunning. It was hard to leave to see the rest of Venice! We can’t wait to come back and stay at Ca Maria Adele.
Everything was perfect.

Great hotel and service.
The customer service is the best. Very helpful and professional staff. They helped us organise water taxi, restaurant and anything we need. Location is convenient. Breakfast is nice.
We got the apartment with terrace. It’s a beautiful place, and the terrace has nice water and the church view. We just wish the bedroom is a bit bigger.

Exceptional service in a beautiful boutique hotel
A gorgeous boutique hotel with great decor and ambiance that takes you back to the real Venice.
Spacious, beautiful rooms with everything you need in the right place. It's perfectly located in a beautiful quiet part of Dorsudoro, right on a canal and at the fantastic Santa Maria della Salute. Just a few meters away from Accademia and the Guggenheim Collection.
Vaporetto #1 is just around the corner.
Their hospitality and service are impressive. The front desk staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back.
With so many great Cicchetti / Tramezzini places around the corner, we did not try their breakfast. But their coffee is the finest Italian flavor and served in style.
Next time we would like to get a room with a view.

We will defend choose this hotel for our next stay in Venice.
Everything is just perfect - The location, the room, the breakfast, the personnel. Service is outstanding.

A charming boutique hotel in a great location
It is a delightful boutique hotel in a great location. The staff are very helpful and breakfast was very good. The decor is stylish and Venetian.
There were a lot of steps to my room. I did not mind but it could be a problem for older people.

Exceptional Stay - a palace-like retreat, a perfect location and outstanding service!
Communication was exceptional with immediate and helpful replies to everything I asked. We arrived around 11am and 2 rooms were ready! Drinks on arrival were much appreciated and set the tone for our stay.
Delightful rooms, superb breakfasts, lots of terraces and sitting areas all made for a glorious stay.
Such personal, charming and efficient service just raised the experience again. Thank you Marco, Fiore, Thomas and all the staff at this beautiful palace.
