We Love
- The position — the tip of Dorsoduro beside the Salute, one vaporetto stop from San Marco, between the Guggenheim and Punta della Dogana, on one of Venice's most painted views.
- The five concept rooms — the Doge's Room, the Room of the Moors, the Noir, Oriental and Fireplace rooms, each fully themed in Murano glass, damask and gold by the owner-designers.
- The rooftop terrace — breakfast taken level with the white domes of the Salute, with three honeys to choose between and the basilica close enough to touch.
- The arrival — a private canal landing for water taxis straight from the airport, into a reception over its own small canal, then up into the palazzo.
- The owner-designers — two brothers from a Murano glass family who restored the palazzo themselves, so the look is theirs and the welcome is personal.

Origins
Ca Maria Adele was one of the first boutique hotels to open in Venice, and it has been setting the template for the city's design hotels ever since. It is the work of two brothers, Alessio and Nicola Campa, heirs to an old Murano glass-making family and interior designers by inclination, who took on a run-down sixteenth-century palazzo at the very tip of Dorsoduro and, by 2004, had turned it into something Venice had not quite seen: a small, intensely styled, intensely romantic house rather than another grand traditional hotel.
The location is half the spell. The palazzo stands beside the Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute, the great domed church that closes the mouth of the Grand Canal, on one of the most painted prospects in the world — between Peggy Guggenheim's collection and the Punta della Dogana contemporary galleries, one vaporetto stop across the water from San Marco, yet on a quiet, secluded stretch where the loudest sound is the church bells. Guests arrive by water, either at the Salute vaporetto a few steps away or, by water taxi, straight to the hotel's own canal landing.
Inside, the brothers' eye runs through everything. The twelve rooms blend East and West in black and white Murano chandeliers, damask, gold leaf and oversized jacuzzi baths, and five of them are full concept rooms — the Doge's Room, the Room of the Moors, the Noir, Oriental and Fireplace rooms — each a complete theatrical world. Two further rooms wait next door in Palazzetto 113. There is no restaurant and no spa, by design; what there is instead is a rooftop terrace level with the domes of the Salute, where breakfast is served, and a sense that the whole palazzo, all dozen rooms of it, might just be yours.
Top Secret
Breakfast is taken on the rooftop terrace, level with the white domes of the Salute and close enough to feel you could reach them — ask about the three honeys. For arrivals, skip the crowded vaporetto and take a water taxi from the airport straight to the hotel's private canal landing: gliding up to your own door off the lagoon is the right way to begin a stay here.
The Review
Ca Maria Adele is unapologetically a hotel for lovers, and it does that one thing better than almost anywhere in Venice. One of the city's original boutique hotels, opened in 2004 by two brothers from a Murano glass dynasty, it occupies a sixteenth-century palazzo in the best position in Dorsoduro — hard beside the Salute, between the Guggenheim and the Punta della Dogana, a single vaporetto stop from San Marco but on a hushed, secluded corner of the sestiere.
The style is full-blooded contemporary-Venetian opulence: Murano chandeliers, damask and gold leaf, vast jacuzzi baths, and five concept rooms — the Doge's, the Moors, the Noir, Oriental and Fireplace — each a fully realised theatrical set rather than a colour scheme. The owner-designers restored the palazzo themselves, and the personal hand shows in the detail and in the warmth of a house with only twelve rooms. The suites hide at the top under vaulted ceilings; two more rooms sit next door in Palazzetto 113 for those who want a little more space.
It is not for minimalists, and it makes no apology. There is no restaurant — the rooftop over the Salute handles a celebrated breakfast, in-room massages cover the spa, and the concierge steers guests to Venice's best tables and galleries, the Guggenheim three minutes off, the Zattere waterfront alongside. What you get instead is a small, secluded, gorgeously theatrical palazzo at the romantic heart of Venice, where the position and the styling between them make the hotel as much a reason for the trip as the city outside it.
