Cima Rosa Bed & Breakfast

Venice is such a levely and amazing place, it was wonderful to enjoy it being smack in the middle, yet feeling cozy and calm in the serene space Brittany and her husband created and which they share with warmth and attention to detail. Thank you for the wonderful stay!

A home away from home! Cima Rosa made our first visit to Venice one to remember. Brittany & Valentina are excellent hosts, the rooms are clean and comfortable, and the location is perfect, away from the crowds but within strolling distance to all major sites, including the boat to Burano & Torcello (a must). Eating a home cooked breakfast in their window right on the water is the perfect start to a day. We'll be back... it also helps that it's next door to one of the greatest restaurants in the world: GLAM! Thanks so much!

We had been recommended Cima Rosa by a friend and the description 'posh b & b' describes it perfectly. Arriving by water taxi, the historic building with its typical canal-side entrance makes you feel that you are stepping back in time. The welcome from Brittany, the owner, and Melba, one of the charming and helpful staff was warm and friendly - we immediately felt at home. Brittany is extremely helpful and always available for any queries or help with restaurants, museums, gallery bookings etc. The location on a relatively quiet stretch of the Grand Canal, just a minute's walk from the Vaporetto stop, makes it easy to come and go throughout the day, and comfortable sofas as well as coffee, tea, water and snacks are available for guests to help themselves. Breakfast, which is delicious and freshly made for each guest, keeps you going but there are lots of wonderful restaurants, bars and stops for cicchetti and a spritz nearby. The hotel is accessed on the land side via a charming courtyard garden which I imagine would be a cooling haven in the hot summer months and which was already looking pretty in the early spring. In Venice you need to be prepared for lots of walking! Finding your way through the labyrinth of little calles, fondamentas and ramos can clock up quite a few steps! But there is always a comfortable welcome back at Cima Rosa, where you can put up your weary feel and muse on the daily life making its way up and down the Grand Canal. Cima Rosa is the perfect place from which to experience Venice.

Staying at Cima Rosa was a pleasure. The service is lovely and personal, great breakfast and beautiful rooms. The location is easy to access from the Train station via the Vaporetto and in one of the more locally inhabited areas of Venice. We will be staying again!

Brittany is the most amazing host- she really makes sure you feel at home every minute of your stay….Cima Rosa is a rare find within busy Venice- beautifully decorated rooms, lovely staff, delicious breakfast….always helping you to have the perfect holiday! Brittany booked us dinner& spoiled us with flowers in our room& organised so many other things for us while we stayed at Cima Rosa! We’ll definitely be back soon! Thank you so much for having us, Brittany & Daniele

Coma Rosa is one of the most beautiful places we have ever stayed. Dora & Brittney are so friendly and welcoming, the breakfast was delicious and the room absolutely stunning! It’s in a nice location, walkable to Piazza St Marco & The Rialto Bridge but also in a quieter spot of Venice. I would highly recommend to anyone visiting this wonderful city!!

My teenage daughter and I stayed at Cima Rosa for three nights, and it was pure magic from the moment we turned into the private courtyard and entered the beautifully decorated living room where couches and a pile of food and travel books pulled me right in!. Our room overlooking the Grand Canal was perfect for us, beautiful with its wood beamed ceilings and calm contemporary decor (and the bed and sheets were beyond comfortable). The bathroom in this one room is across the hall, but it was private and super warm -- love heated towel racks -- and not an issue. Cima Rosa really stands out through its deep sense of welcome and refined beauty. Welcome is built into the design with a shared kitchen set up as a common area outside our room (we took advantage of for some bedtime tea and a refrigerator to put some finds from our Rialto Market tour). But the absolute best way to feel that welcome was at breakfast. Dora was an AMAZING host at (a very yummy) breakfast, so welcoming, advising us on our time in Venice and making dinner reservations for us at a neighborhood restaurant. The rest of the staff was fantastic. Of all our activities in Venice, I think my favorite was sitting in the cozy corner seat of the breakfast room drinking cappuccino watching the boats go by. Thank you, Brittany, for creating such a beautiful bed and breakfast that allowed us to experience the "yin" of Venice after a days out in the "yang" of tourist Venice.

We simply love Cima Rosa because of the host and the overall service. Brittany is amazing, kind, responsive and knows the best places in town. This was our second time in Venice and in this lovely hotel. The view is great, the staff is lovely, the hotel is very nice, location gives you a bit of piece of overcrowded part of Venice, which we count as a huge benefit. Best place ever!
