Dorsoduro hotels

We loved the hotel - it was on a quiet but accessible canal very near to fascinating ( and "local") squares and shops. The room we had - a "Superior" room, had lots of space, comfortable beds and good storage. Towels were changed every day and the overall service was absolutely excellent. Breakfast was very adequate - juice, cereals, breads, ham. cheese, tea, coffee all self service in a lovely garden flanked room. Access to the rest of Venice was so easy - vaparetto from Ca Rezonica took you to any No.1 destination on the Grand Canal. The nearby local Supermarket provided us with Prosecco and nibbles - upstairs in the supermarket offered an amazing range of cheeses, olives etc.A nearby sandwich shop with excellent filled rolls and Rice Balls for lunches. We had excellent dinners at La Furatola, Calla Lunga San Barbara and Locanda Montin, S. Travaso, Fondamenta Eremire - both offering superb sea food and great service and atmosphere. Well worth searching out!. It has been a really brilliant trip.

Great location. Far from the madding crowd but within very easy reach of St. Marks by boat or 20 min. walk. It is a fifteen minute walk including four bridges from the train station. Happily stayed for four nights .

Welcome was amazing. Staff have friendly recommendations for dinner. Room was very comfortable and would have loved to stay and extra day

The hotel is very conveniently located, nicely furnished and the staff is kind and accommodating. No complaints!

The hotel is in a lovely place in a lovely area - basic, but that's what we were expecting. It was convenient, with friendly staff and a reasonable breakfast.

I chose this place because of the name and its location. The staff were so friendly; breakfast was excellent. I was in the annexe section - a strange set-up away from the main hotel. It is a quiet part of Venice and right next to the Peggy Guggenheim. I loved it.

This is our third visit to this hotel and we love it. The setting is lovely, by the side of a small canal and there is a peaceful garden with shady trees and a fountain out the back. It is very close to the centre of things -walking distance across the Academia bridge- and yet you can find peaceful spots on the island. Despite the fact that there are a number of special places to visit on Dorsodoro (the Academia and the Peggy Guggenheim galleries; the Santa Maria Gloriosa church and the Scuola with its series of Veronese paintings), it has a real local flavour. We also found some very reasonably priced -and very good- places to eat. We sat in a small square and were entertained by a wonderful tenor, performing requests of famous arias. Venice is a beautiful place and the waterbus makes transport easy.There's no doubt that some areas get very busy indeed but we felt we were in the best possible place.

This is a small but very modern hotel whose accommodations and location (very near both the Academia and Zattare vaporetto stops) are excellent. Very good breakfasts, great staff, and away from the maddening crowds of "boat people" near Plaza San Marco, yet just a stop or two away by vaporetto or a modest walk over the Academia Bridge.

A quiet and restful five day stay for painting in May. Wonderful scenery eveywhere, and huge assortment of places to eat within a few minutes walk from Cici. Excellent and plentiful breakfast in the hotel each morning. Five minute walk to the Academia gallery with a magnificent collection of art.

The b&b is well situated. The room was comfy, but the bathroom at the end of the corridor was not. In the evening and at night, the piazza his noisy, young people in boat with music blaring out disturbed our sleep. Next time, I'll choose a B&B on a via away from a rio or piazza!!
