when:
You're a fan of B&Bs and you want to be in a central location for
sightseeing, but you prefer a hotel that's away from crowds.
 On
a scale of one to ten, Ca' Angeli's location deserves at least an eight:
It's on the Grand Canal near one of our favorite squares in Venice, the
Campo San Polo. The Rialto
Bridge is only a few minutes away, and once you've crossed it, it's
only a few more minutes (depending on pedestrian traffic) to the
Piazza San Marco. Yet the
hotel itself is conveniently off the main walking route, down a narrow
street that reaches a dead end at the Canal Grande.
 Ca'
Angeli has only six rooms, which means you won't be sharing the premises
with large tour groups. The best value for two people is the double room
with terrace: The room itself is fairly small, but the terrace has teak
furniture, a sun umbrella, and panoramic views of the Venice skyline.

Aerial photos:
-
In the top image, the Ca' Angeli is at the junction
of the Grand Canal and a smaller canal, the Rio della Madonetta,
just to the west of the Calle Tiepolo (see label on photo). You can
see the Campo San Polo to the north and the Rialto Bridge to the
east.
-
In the second photo, the Ca' Angeli is in the
pinkish building with a green awaning near the bottom right corner
of the frame. (The private terrace of the double room mentioned
above is visible behind the tile roof.)
