The guest house was perfect. Sabrina who worked diligently to clean and greet guests was as sweet as the guest house was perfect. The location was easy to find and close to water bus, restaurants grocery store and all sites. And with a canal view from our room. Clean, quiet safe and comfortable

A great 3 days
We loved our stay at Casa Faravito it is in a great location and looking out of the balcony at the end of the landing was a treat every time. The shared bathrooms were always clean and we never had to wait. The staff at check in were great and accommodated our slightly late arrival with no issue. We would definitely book here again if we return to Venice.

Good value for excellent location & friendly staff
We could not have asked for a better location for the price we paid. Right on the water front with only a 10 min walk to St Marks, great restaurants on the next street and a vaporetto (water bus) stop just outside. The staff running the accommodation are really friendly and has a nice feel to it. Although the bathrooms are shared this was not a problem at all - very clean, very good facilities and never had to wait to use the toilet or shower. Overall this was a great stay for the price - better than I would have expected. Would 100% recommend for the price range and will be coming back next time I am in Venice.

Not practical - Doesn't have good value
I'm not really sure how this property received a good rating. Rooms were extremely loud, as you could hear everything going on in the hallway. And with a shared bathroom, this generates a lot of noise. Also, having one shower for 5 bedrooms simply doesn't work. Be prepared to wait for a shower in the morning or get up super early! Room was a mix of old furniture with some new elements. Smelled like an old grandparents bedroom. Walls were dirty and a bit beat up. Beds were more like cots and very uncomfortable. They also slid all over the floor, making it very un-romantic for any couples. I think you're much better off spending a bit more and getting a better setup.

Simply charming
This place is right on the waterfront! Francesca as well as her father are very courteous and helpful. The beds are comfortable and clean. There is a sink in the room and then there is a shared bathroom with a shower and another half bath. There is a balcony with french doors and a beautiful view. The location is close to everything in town; shopping and transportation (by boat).

Fantastic hotel on the Grand Canal with a lovely view! The host was welcoming and friendly. Though the bathroom was shared, the room itself was spacious and comfortable. Just a 10 minute walk from St. Mark's Square and over the bridge to the left of the hotel, an alleyway of eateries and a coop.

Definitely recommend this hotel
Francesca sent us a welcoming email before we arrived. When I told her we were planning on walking there from the train station she immediately told us to take the water taxi which was excellent advice. The location of this hotel is amazing. If you don't mind sharing a bathroom and want a genuine old Venice feel to your stay this is the hotel to book! Paulo gave us really good advice on what to do while there and also on how to get to the airport.

So convenient
This was so convenient and easy to reach for our first trip to Venice. We loved being right on the waterfront, but a moderate walk to San Marco. There was lots of great energy and action at easy reach, but the hotel was quiet. The only drawback was the shared bathroom, but all was clean, and our needs were simple: cleanliness and comfort.

A room with a view
First impressions of the anonomous building and austere stairwell were soon dispelled on reaching a very tastefully finished hallway and businesslike greeting of a kindly host. The room was rather basic in furnishing, offering rather spongy beds, a somewhat plastic breakfast and a fan instead of commonplace air con but who needed a TV when we had the ever changing sights and sounds of our waterfront view? The sharing of toilets and bathrooms presented no problems with so few other rooms and we felt comfortable with the high standard of hygiene throughout. Expensive relative to other budget hotels used during our month long trip but this had a refreshingly different feel and we were after all in magical Venice.

Great Location, run by good people
This is an ideal location in Venice. It is very close to the Arsenale dock so getting from or to the Airport wasn't a problem. St. Mark's square is a short walk down the waterfront, so you are close, but not in the middle of the crowds. It was easy to find (which is a big deal in Venice!) and there is a good gelato place next door. Finally, we had a balcony room and it was cool to see the cruise ships get towed out to sea.

Beautiful view!
Great hotel with breathtaking views of the Grand Canal as it opens into the Bay! The hotel staff are all so kind, helpful and lovely. Clean and comfortable room. Would stay here again. Found that the WIFI works best next to the refrigerator, but no worries, just needed it for a few mins here and there for some research on tourist info. They provided a community refrigerator for everyone to keep their groceries in. Really Appreciated that. Never had a problem with the shared bathroom, they provided 3 bathrooms. Plenty. Stay here, and book the front room with the view! :-)

Lovely hotel room. Hotel had a really authentic feel and the owners made us feel at home. The bathrooms are shared but that's no issue as everybody seemed to be around at different times. There is also a complimentary breakfast of a pastry / biscuits which was a very nice touch. Overall a perfect way to spend New Years!

OK experience, good location.
My Fiance and I stayed here for 2 nights. We thought we booked a room on the canal, and instead ended up in a room in the back corner with no view. We read that they spoke perfect English in reviews, as we spoke very little Italian we thought this was important. We were surprised when we arrived that no one spoke any English. The older couple that runs the B and B was very nice and the next day moved us to a room with a canal view. There are 3 bathrooms ( 2 with showers, 1 with toilet only) and 6 rooms, so you do share a bathroom. Most of the time no big deal- maybe waiting 5 or 10 min. A community refrigerator to keep drinks/food was a nice touch. The bathrooms were kept really clean. Overall if you want a good location for a cheap price this is an OK place to stay. If you go in with low expectations you will be fine. You are a 10 min walk from St. Marks square, so who wants to spend time in the room anyways?

Wonderful Little Hotel
The location of this hotel was perfect, it could not have been better. It was ever so slightly removed from the hustle and bustle of the tourists but close enough to all the major sights. The view was fantastic, the hotel is located along the same strip as some of the most prestigious hotels in Venice (at about 1/5 of the price!) . The room itself was perfect, comfortable bed, tea coffee and treats in the room. We had a shared bathroom - I didn't once see the people who we were sharing with and the bathroom was always spotless. I will definitely be staying here on my next visit.

We had the best time ever. Francesca Favaretto welcomed us to this beautiful waterside inn with outstanding views of the Bay. We really enjoyed exploring that end of the island. Always take a fly swat in Venice for the occasional mosquito from the canals.

We had a wonderful stay at this guesthouse! The owners are very sweet and helpful, and the guesthouse has been passed down through the family. Our room had beautiful windows that overlooked the canal. The bathrooms are shared, but they were very clean, and we never had a problem. The location is ideal, very near st.Mark's square and the water bus station. I would definitely stay here again!

slanted room with west wifi in venice
Our room was sloped about 3.5 degrees as measured by iphone, which made sleeping a bit less comfortable but manageable. The staff managed some english but is not too involved with guests. They have a map on the wall that can be used to get directions, etc. Hotel is clean, you keep your key and you open the room windows to the river. Nice view from front balcony. The hotel is easy to find, even in the dark with close proximity. Use the Arsenale vapratto stop and it's a short walk to the hotel.
