Homestays in Veneto, Italy

Great room and even better location. Hotel contacted us the day of arrival to ensure we had all the right arrival information and made sure we knew how to get from the airport. Couldn’t be easier to find and so close to one of the vaporetto stops that there was no hauling luggage through the busy streets of Venice (this is a much bigger bonus than those new to Venice will realise). Really friendly staff on check-in (and throughout the stay) and room was made available for us early which was great. The room itself was huge, spotlessly clean and so much fresher than many of the older traditional hotels in town. The only downside to the hotel is that it doesn’t have a 24 hour reception (the guy leaves about 4pm) and it doesn’t offer many amenities (no laundry, no bar, restaurant or room service) which isn’t unexpected for a hotel of its size, and given the amount of options in the vicinity isn’t a big deal and they do provide a free mini-bar to compensate . All in all a superb little hotel which we thoroughly enjoyed and will definitely use again.

The location is very close to the airport, the environment is quiet and the breakfast is good. We arrived early for 1 hour (13 o'clock), a waitress at the front desk promised to check in after 15 minutes, waiting for us to remove more luggage, the woman just disappeared, another woman said that she must wait until the regulations At 14 o'clock in time, I had to move my luggage back into the car, silent.

This was a reasonably priced property for Venice which a friend recommended. It looked spacious and clean in the pictures. The room was small, serviceable but dark. It has a quite convenient location in the Cannaregio.The hotel suggested we hire a porter at the train station to cart our 5 pieces of luggage- big and small- as we were at the end of a four week trip. We paid him 40 euros plus a 5 euro tip to cart them upstairs to the room since there is no elevator in the building. At least that worked on the way to the hotel. On our last day we had to lug our suitcases down the slippery steps in the rain. Not fun. One of the staff made dinner reservations on Mother’s Day for us and also ordered roses for my husband to give me on my birthday. But there were other staff who didn’t know a lot of helpful tourist information like the water taxi schedule to the airport. We had to pull that information out of the young woman at night who, though very sweet, had very poor English. Why not have that schedule printed and handy for guests? The breakfast was 10 euro. They ran out of scrambled eggs, had no fresh pastry and just doughy white bread. Cappuccino good. Just ate there the first day. No tissues in the room and there was an annoying strobe light that kept going off over the door. I dislike bedspreads that others have used and prefer clean top sheets with duvets. There were a couple of holes in the sheets we had. However the room was clean with no smell. Perhaps we had one of the smaller, less interesting rooms at the inn. Some of the pictures look more spacious. Be sure to ask what you are going to get though. And remember, there is no elevator. As with many hotels, there is only someone on duty 8 am-7:30 pm. We enjoyed our stays at the hotels booked by our weeklong tour and should have searched for a comparable one more befitting of a special birthday.

A 5 minuti da Piazza San Marco. Veloce e comodo. Quando si arriva l'ascensore è sempre al piano zero, si entra e si è già dentro in camera. La camera è contenuta ma ben disposta. Il bagno è pulitissimo e la doccia ampia Tutto molto molto bello, MA il materasso è infossato a causa delle doghe non adatte, consiglio delle assi di legno tra doghe e materasso. Il minifrigo è rumoroso e va scollegato per dormire meglio. Non aprite le finestre,MAI! perche essendo vicini al canale entrano flotte di ZANZARE rompi pa...e.

Very clean place and the I enjoyed the daily breakfast they served each morning. The host went above and beyond when I called him after-hours to help me find a wine bottle opener, I appreciate that. Some minor drawbacks: Our room was close to the common area and the sound isolation wasn't great. We could hear conversations being had outside, so we had to be mindful about privacy. Also, I didn't know this when I booked the tickets, but apparently Mestre city is kind of a shady area overall. Luckily this place is only 100m from the bus stop where buses can take you straight to Venice, so you don't have to wander around the Mestre streets at night more than you would like. Overall I had an awesome time though :)

This hotel is located in a great part of Venice that is incredibly walkable to all of the big landmarks and to so so many local restaurants. While many reviews say it is hard to find - it is not. Google walking instructions TOTALLY WORK. Look at signs on the buildings - they are small but there. The hotel e-mailed me AND WhatsApp messaged me before the stay to make sure I filled out the visitor paperwork / information they need. The hotel then e-mailed me the codes to get in to the building and our room. They do have someone on site - the house keeper is there in the morning through around 2:00 pm. There is no breakfast that we could see but we did not pay for one. The room was comfortable, the location fantastic, and we were very happy with our stay.

The worst hotel (to call it something) in which I have been by far. The only positive is the location. Logically, for that price, we did not expect great luxuries, just a comfortable place to sleep. What we certainly did not expect is the disastrous treatment of the staff and the non-existent room service. First of all, as soon as we arrived, the room was not ready, so we had to go around town until it was ready. Secondly, the hotel manager/worker demanded the payment of some fees not mentioned at any time in the reservation, which already indicated that the price was with taxes included. 48 euros. We asked about the nature of those fees, and he did not know how to answer us at all, in fact, he reacted in a very rude and aggressive way. Despite not being able to clarify the reason for having to pay these fees, we were ready to pay, but his POS/DATAPHONE must have been for decoration, since none of the 4 cards we tried worked with. We told him that we didn't have cash to pay him to which he reacted even worse, the situation got unpleasant and he ended up saying that we will pay him at another time of the stay. We went to the rooms, the room itself was not bad, simple, without great luxuries, but what we expected for the price. The bathroom was shared, which we already knew, but there was only one bathroom for a floor with 4 group rooms, so you had to wait a long time to use the bathroom since it was always busy. But well, no more importance. The heating did not work, so we spent quite cold at night, the non-existent room service, they did not even change the towels. The only thing they did was empty the trash. Finally, we decided that we were not going to pay the fees unless we were shown with some official document or from the town hall that these fees are mandatory. Above all, after the uncomfortable stay, which was even more uncomfortable, because this man spent several times knocking on our door while we were resting to come and claim the money. On the last day, we left him the keys and informed him that we were not willing to pay what he asked for without any justification and without knowing why we had to pay those 48 euros. He continued without giving us any justification, he became more and more aggressive, yelling and pointing fingers. The most unrealistic and outrageous thing came, when the aforementioned said that he was going to call the police, to which I replied that I was delighted, so the police could verify if these rates are legal. He called someone on the phone and handed me his cell phone so I could talk to that person. The person in question claimed to be a hotel authority, I told him that logically I could not trust a person on the other end of the phone that could be anyone, that if it really was the police please, be aware

Very convenient to the airport. Also only a short walk to catch the bus into Venice. Be advised that you need to buy the bus tickets at the nearby tobacco shop, which is not open all the time. So we had to wait around for about 15-20 minutes for them to open in the afternoon before we could buy tickets. Recommend buying a round trip ticket if you plan on returning by bus. The room was clean and comfortable. A/C and internet worked just fine. Nice shower and large bathroom. The room was quiet, even though faced a busy street. Breakfast was fresh (we just had the continental breakfast). Very pleasant owner. Great service. We had a very good and inexpensive meal across the street in an unimpressive appearing small restaurant (Al Quadrante).

The hotel is very confortable with air conditioning and Room No 24 was very large and had a great bathroom with shutters onto a course yard. I could have done with a long mirror in the bedroom and a few more shelves or places to put our toiletries in the bathroom. The beds were comfortable and their was a fridge with complementary water. I would recommend you take your own hairdryer, the one provided over heated and had a little power. The shower was good and they do provide shampoo and conditioner. The only problem with this room, I found although quiet through the night, the staff cupboard is right next door to it and the staff use the hallway to prepare breakfast and sort laundry so they are up and about early and wake you up. This hotel is very old and has a lot of stairs so not for the mobility challenged. Great location though and their is a good cafe round the corner for breakfast although they do offer breakfast in the hotel for 10 euro's.

This B&B has a great location just a few steps from Piazza Bra and this is also the best reason to stay here. The street itself where the hotel is located feels a bit dark and run down though. The rooms are spacious but sp****ly furnished. A breakfast is provided but due to covid-restrictions only provided at a small table. Some youghurt but mostly sweets. There is no toilet in the rooms but they are outside, although private. I have seen many positive reviews before this one commenting the manager and I can somewhat agree. Our experience is both positive and negative. Please be aware that you have to organize check-in with the owner beforehand. There is no sign to show this B&B and it has no reception.

Se ci fosse stata la possibilità avrei dato 10 stelle!! Posto bellissimo, il proprietario è stato gentilissimo e disponibile, ci ha offerto molto più di quello che ci aspettavamo. Camere comode e pulite, colazione variegata e con prodotti di qualità che abbiamo consumato in maniera rilassata nel giardino della location. Per lavoro giriamo tutta Italia e da circa 10 anni ci capita di soggiornare fuori di media un paio di volte a settimana, mi sento di dire che questo rientra tra i migliori alloggi in cui abbiamo soggiornato. Appena avremo possibilità torneremo sicuramente!

Excellent structure, completely modern but above all beautiful. The Casa Citella staff welcomed us and immediately made us feel at home despite our arrival at the facility taking place at an inconvenient time at night. The structure is easy to reach and remains convenient for reaching many destinations to visit. Absolute cleanliness starting from the entrance, to the rooms, furniture, sheets, and the entire structure itself as my group took in the same, all 5 rooms available. I recommend this structure to everyone as Mrs. Simonetta and all her staff are fantastic, welcoming and very kind people. Excellent price, wonderful location where you will see us as guests again next year. Thanks to all the staff of CASA CITELLA Angelo.

Terrible. Dirty, a curtain in the middle of the room that the host keeps various objects and utensils behind, as well as cloths and towels that looked dirty. A sadness. I booked through booking and in the end I did the evaluation that booking recommended. I rated it with a seven and gave feedback about different treatment between guests, as the host provides two addresses. As incredible as it may seem, he started attacking me through the booking chat. Cursing me and offending my family. And I hadn't even criticized the fact that it was dirty. Only in relation to different treatment between guests. On this trip I stayed in ten different accommodations. No one else treated me badly. Just this one. When we arrived he had left the apartment key in an envelope with a message that we should leave 2.5 euros per person per night in that same envelope and if we didn't leave it he would call the police. The message is ridiculous because there is a tourist tax in every city in Italy and none of the establishments were rude to that point. All in all, bad experience. A rude, rude host without the slightest emotional capacity to maintain customer service. I don't recommend this place to anyone. There are many, many, many other accommodations in even better located locations at similar prices where the guest does not need to be upset and stressed due to the rudeness, treatment of the host or the dirtiness of the place.

Very spacious and clean room, a hidden bar in the basement, a quiet herb garden and all of it a stonr's throw from the city center of Verona. The reception was warm, friendly and efficient and the overall look and feel of the hotel merits a mention as well as does the service by the staff. Would stay and recommend this lovely b&b again!

My wife, daughter and I stayed at Relais Empire for two-nights while on a road trip across northern Italy. This small hotel is arranged over the first and second floors (there is a lift) of a old town building adjacent the main street to, and just a short walk from, Piazza Brà (and the colosseum). The building facade is currently being restored which did not affect our stay, but currently makes accessing the hotel entrance a challenge with the intercom to 'buzz' reception on the first floor to open the entrance door and with the intercom obscured by scaffolding/boarding. This issue aside, we experienced no noise or disturbance from the building work at all. The hotel's interior decor is lovely (very Italianate), the rooms/bathrooms are a generous size and very clean, the beds are comfortable, and despite our rooms facing onto a main road close to the touristic centre, the hotel was exceptionally quiet at all times. Breakfast was superb with a generous mix of hot/cold breakfasty food and beverages, and the small team of staff at the hotel were attentive and very helpful throughout our stay. A note of caution if you are travelling by car; parking is a short walk from the hotel in a compound with individual private and locked underground garages, and consequently very safe. The cautionary is note is because on arrival, you will need to temporarily leave your car parked on the street (or as I had to because there were no on-street parking spaces near the hotel at the time we arrived, on the pavement) and check-in with reception before transferring your bags into the hotel and then being shown to the garages (the receptionist will jump in your car with you to guide the way and show you how to access the garages). However, on departing the hotel, I was able to park on the street right outside the hotel to transfer our bags back to the car which was much less of a faff. If you are arriving on foot or by taxi, you can ignore this cautionary note! Should you stay here, we recommend dining at a nearby restaurant recommended by the hotel's receptionist, 'Osteria Casa Vino' (also reviewed) - it was outstanding. We dined their twice during our two night stay. In summary; a small and slightly quirky hotel, attractive once inside, clean and quite, with nice rooms/bathrooms, excellent breakfast, great staff and close to the centre of the attractions.

What a gem this place is. Location is fantastic; walking distance to all the places of interest and fabulous restaurants and shops. The room is spacious, clean, beautifully decorated, very confortable bed, the room is very quiet. The bonus is the fabulous hosts, from the very beginning to the end, friendliness, and information and tips on places to visit and eat. We felt very much at home, Massimo and his wife and their lovely son are the nicest people. We were so impressed with this place that we will be booking all the rooms for ourselves and friends for the Opera at the Arena 2020. Cannot find fault with B and B Cangrande, it really is perfect!

We stayed in this hotel because we attended Nick Cave's concert at the Arena of Verona and so we found him comfortable for the location, which is one of his few positive aspects. I start by saying that when we arrived and played the clock, the owner came very dry from our presence. We saw the room, quite comfortable, but the bath was a disaster: the water was sometimes making strange noises, the shower door was broken, and the wall seemed made of carton. Finally, we were waiting for breakfast (including in the booking) in the morning but we found that it would never arrive. I have to say that for 50 euros per head it is better. I don't recommend.

We have stayed happy with staying at this hotel. No complaints. In addition, it has a successful location and excellent view from the roof 😍

Ok, that is, the bathroom is not in the room, it is a bit inconvenient. But the breakfast was good.

We spent one night here and enjoyed it. We were greeted in a very kind and hospitable way by a gentleman who after check-in accompanied us to the room explaining all its features and how everything works. Breakfast due to Covid-19 must be eaten in the room and we found it ready on a tray because all the foods are packaged. Only coffee can be taken at the entrance where there is a small kitchen with a pod machine. Unfortunately we did not find the glasses to drink the juice, the cups for the coffee and not even the knives to spread the Nutella / Jam ... we hope to come back and to find that it was simply an oversight (it can happen) Very nice room with bed comfortable. Large bathroom with spacious shower. All very clean and cared for! Accommodation a stone's throw from the station and close to many services. The only flaw: all paid parking and there are no free ones. Recommended B&B!

A very good value for money, suitable for budget travel! The location is also good, more convenient. It is necessary to confirm the check-in time at the arrival of the hotel on the first day, and there is usually no one after 8:00. This is still relatively inconvenient, so if you arrive in a late flight, calculate the time in advance. avoid unnecessary trouble!
