Family accommodations in Santa Croce

Really enjoyed our stay at the Carlton on the Grand Canal. The hotel has lovely decor throughout—stylish and full of quirky charm that gives it real character. It’s situated at the top end of the Grand Canal, so it is a bit of a walk from the main sights, but still very accessible with good transport links nearby. Overall, a great hotel with a lot of personality—would happily stay again!

Hotel Cavalletto was absolutely beautiful. We had a room right on the canal overlooking the Gondola’s. The breakfast included was continental but there was hot scrambled egg, bacon and sausage available also. The staff were more than friendly and helpful, and nothing we asked was too much. We did have to move room on our first day due to a small air conditioning issue, but the staff moved us swiftly and made our stay extra special. I will definitely return to this hotel when I return to the beautiful city of Venice, and Hotel Cavalletto will be where I stay.

Great location a couple of blocks off of San Marco but quiet and easy to find. Rooms are spacious and serviced is great. Excellent breakfast buffet. Near transportation stops and easy to reach from train station.
