Locanda Gaffaro

“Cozy place to stay”

Not hard to find with the help of goggle map. Place was clean and tidy and the reception provided some tips on getting the local transport after check in. Not far from train and bus station... around 10 minutes walk. As the buildings were very unique and not high (or more to local type of building)… more

Not hard to find with the help of goggle map. Place was clean and tidy and the reception provided some tips on getting the local transport after check in. Not far from train and bus station... around 10 minutes walk. As the buildings were very unique and not high (or more to local type of building), there was no lift provided. So have to remember this. Breakfast staff was also friendly and served us our coffee right to our table..... 👍

“What a bless!”

I reached Venice literally in a trouble water period. Luckly or unluckly I arrived in Venice during the high tide peak in mid-November.

I reached Venice literally in a trouble water period. Luckly or unluckly I arrived in Venice during the high tide peak in mid-November. Actually, I booked a room for one single night at the Al Malcanton hotel. I was in Rome for a week and took a chance to go to Venice for a two-day round trip. When I got in Venice Santa Lucia train station, everything looked to be working as usual, except for the long footbridges built for the walkers. Al Malcanton is really close to the station but walking on the side of the channel was challenging. The narrow streets were completely flooded, and after buying a pair of cheap plastic boots that melted in five steps, my feet got completely wet. When I arrived at Al Malcanton place, the hotel was not accepting patrons for obvious reasons, but what my happiness when the front desk lady said that they had booked a room for me and my wife at the Locanda Gaffaro, which is located upstairs from Al Malcanton. What a bless taking a hot shower after walking in the cold water! What a charming property, located in a historic district. I spent the whole night at the bed, since I was not motivated to get outside in that night, but it was worthy. The other day started shiny, and I was quite impressed with the service of Locando Gaffaro. I will return soon to Venice hopefully during summer.

We recommend this place! 🫶🏼

“Traditional bed and breakfast in a very convenient location.”

We were very lucky to happen upon Locanda Gaffaro via Booking.com. It is handy for Piazzale Roma, so we didn’t have to take our cases very far.

We were very lucky to happen upon Locanda Gaffaro via Booking.com. It is handy for Piazzale Roma, so we didn’t have to take our cases very far. It is a very comfortable place, with good furnishings, helpful staff and a nice breakfast. Excellent croissants! We got useful guidance on what to do to make the most of our stay, including the recommendation to eat in Campo Santa Margherita, where there is lots of character and tourists mingle with the locals.
