Hotel Caprera is a traditional Italian boutique hotel, in a historic building, conveniently located near the Grand Canal and walking distance from the train station. There are countless shops and restaurants within a five minute walk from the front door. The family that runs the business is friendly, courteous and provided us with excellent communication leading right up to our stay. The continental breakfast provided was simple, yet adequate, including fresh rolls, yogurt, cheese spread, expresso, etc.
Things to note for your stay at Hotel Caprera: This is a nicely designed older hotel. As is common in Italy, not all rooms are air conditioned. The rooms without air conditioning have fans. If it is important for you to have an air conditioned room, make sure you request it when you reserve your room. Also, there is no elevator, but you will only need to get your luggage up the stairs once and the location would be very difficult to beat! The front desk assisted us with our luggage, which we did not expect, but absolutely appreciated. We were so happy with our experience here and will absolutely reserve a room here again if we make it back to Venice.
