Our experience
We were lucky enough to visit the hotel on a magical winter's day, and what can we say? For us, this is one of the most romantic hotels in Italy. The place is just fabulous, especially Sala Noire (my goodness!) which can be translated as Chambre Noire. But all the rooms are worth it. Thanks to Marco for the very professional tour and the many tips.
The arrival
From Upon your arrival, your luggage is taken care of and replaced with a glass of delicious prosecco, even before you check in.
The friendly owners are Alessio and Nicola Campa, two brothers from an ancient family of Murano master glassmakers. For the record, Alessio's grandfather created the world's largest chandelier in 1950 for the Knokke Casino in Belgium: 2,600 lights and 7,500 kilos of glass and gold.
Inside, the atmosphere is intimate, subdued and bohemian, halfway between East and West. Every nook and cranny is like a theatre set. We love everything: the subtle lighting, the friendliness of the team, the monogrammed porcelain, the spirals and flowers on the walls, the discreet classical music in the background, the large busts, the floral arrangements and the shelves of art books.
The rooms
There are only 12 rooms, including 5 concept rooms. Here are our favorites:

5 • Barena Suite • Photo • Photo
Our favorite is the Sala Noire its intimate, theatrical atmosphere spread over two floors. We also love the Sala Del Doge, with its sultry red decor, and the Barena Suite, which features a rooftop with a breathtaking view.
Depending on the room you choose, you will have access to the following amenities: king-size bed with double orthopedic mattress, hypoallergenic goose down pillows, Italian cotton sheets, air conditioning, impressive insulation, private bathroom, quarry stone flooring, Gilchrist & Soames toiletries, and a minibar with complimentary non-alcoholic beverages.
Breakfast
In the morning, a delicious à la carte breakfast is available. You can choose to enjoy it on the outdoor terrace, in your room, or in the elegant dining room with its large bay window and two large Murano glass chandeliers. The breakfast menu is very comprehensive, with a variety of fine pastries, seasonal fruits, fresh fruit juices, and Italian coffees. Special mention goes to the perfectly poached eggs, which are truly delicious.
Terrace and living room
Outside, enjoy the terrace, inspired by Berber traditions. Weather permitting, you can enjoy breakfast here. The view of the domes of the della Salute church is absolutely fantastic!
And for a more intimate moment, make yourself comfortable on the velvet sofas in the salon on the first floor. What we love here: the subdued lighting, the decorative fireplace, the collection of portraits of the Doges, the rich interior decor and the view of the gondolas.
Location
Ca Maria Adele located in the quiet Dorsoduro district. The name Dorsoduro was chosen because the soil here is less clayey than in the rest of the city. It is one of the most exclusive areas of Venice, home to the Zattere quay and the Basilica of Santa Maria della Salute. Don't miss the impressive Peggy Guggenheim Collection, just a 3-minute walk from the hotel.
Want to grab a drink in the evening at a place with a great atmosphere? We have two suggestions for you: the Dandolo Bar at the Danieli and the Library Bar at the Nolinski. We were lucky enough to check out both places… An unforgettable experience! The Dandolo Bar is legendary (and very grand), with live piano music From t 7 p.m., while the Nolinski’s Library Bar is smaller and more intimate, but just as fabulous. Be warned, though—the prices are on the high side.
