| CA' ARCO ANTICO. Not just another hotel in Venice. Personally managed by the Venetian owners GianFranco & Marco, the accomodation Ca' Arco Antico, features spotless rooms, impeccable service, warm Venetian hospitality and a wide selection of rates to satisfy all your needs. The locations we have chosen to create CA' ARCO ANTICO reflect our philosophy. Ca' Arco Antico is located in the San Polo district, just a few steps from The Rialto Bridge, where art and history commingle with everyday Venetian life.This is what the New York Times writes about us:
Ca’ Arco Antico, a family-run bed-and-breakfast in the sestiere, or district, of San Polo, about five minutes’ walk from the Rialto Bridge. Ca’ Arco lay down an alley, the Calle del Forno, and opened onto an arched courtyard centered on a pozzo, a traditional cistern. Inside, up a staircase, was the main floor, where eight rooms were clustered around a hallway and a breakfast area. Our room was, to our astonishment, enormous, with gold-patterned silk wallpaper, colorful marble-powder floors, a Murano glass chandelier and a cute (and free) crib, which Sasha, sadly, never took to.
Gold damask curtains covered the windows, and I pushed them aside to discover a balcony that looked down the remaining 50 yards of the Calle del Forno to the Grand Canal, where vaporetti, gondolas, postal boats and small barges drifted past my slice of the most important view in Venice. It was a view that changed every day, the buildings falling into sharp, shadowed relief when the sun glared, or growing old and gauzy in the chill morning mist. Flowers bloomed against the drear atop one wall, and laundry bloomed on Sunday. For a week, it felt like home.
The price for this nearly perfect (breakfast was merely O.K.) corner of Venice varies from 170,00 euros a night in high season to 70 euros a night in low season
