Bed and Breakfast Residenza del Doge - Venice

8.4

Residenza del Doge is in great location between St Marks and the Rialto, about 8 mins walk from each. Our room looked out onto canal, so we felt we were in Venice. Place had lot of character, highly recommended. Staff were friendly, we phoned day before to check all Ok and they offered to meet us at Rialto. Was essential as place would be hard to find even with good map.

7.0

We paid for a large room which overlooked the canal which was lovely. Room and furnishings quite tired and worn and overall could do with a major spruce up. Bathroom was very smelly, but that may have been due to poor plumbing rather than attention to cleaning. Excellent lcoation. Compared to all the other B&B's we stayed in in Europe this one was very pricey, however Venice is expensive. Breakfast was good. Directions on how to find the place was very poor - "take the water bus to Rialto and walk for 5 minutes". That definitely needs improvement because you could spend hours trying to find the place which is not easy when you're loaded down with luggage and having to drag it up and down numerous bridges. A detailed map on how to get there should be provided.

Ciao! We had a lovely stay at the Residenza del Doge. It was in a great location and easy to get anywhere in Venice by foot. As anyone who has been to Venice knows, finding the Residenza del Doge the first time was fun (make sure you keep in mind this is part of your travel adventure – keep a smile on your face and talk to people). They gave good directions and after asking only a few people we found it! Unfortunately, we didn’t get to meet the owner, but her lovely daughter helped us during our visit. Since Venice is one of the most expensive places to visit in Italy, we were pleasantly surprised and felt we got our money’s worth at this location. Our room was large for European standards, we had a beautiful view of the canal and a bridge, breakfast was cooked for us and the room was clean, had heat/air, hot water and a hair dryer, what more could you want? It was perfect and I would highly recommend it. I’ll be spreading the word to all my friends! Buona Viaggi!

7.2

Our room wa fine although the ensuite was separate to the room via the hallway. Breakfast ws fine and the location of the hotel roughly between San Marco and the Rialto was very convenient. Finding the BnB requries some planning and is easier from the Rialto than San Marco.

4.1

We were a little disappointed in this place. It didn't live up to the reviews. Our room was too small and the only time we saw the owners were at breakfast, when we arrived and when we left. The location is very good.

10

The B & B is located a five minutes walk from the Rialto bridge - if you get the direction correct. We didn't, but when we finally arrived we were greeted by the hosts, welcomming us with an icecold glass of orange. we all loved the place, including our 9 year old daughter, and were taken back by surprise by the 'close to continental'breakfast. Despite the huge amount of tourists in Venice, we enjoyed some splendid days because we had the possibility to retire to this quiet oase right in the centre of the city. We highly recommend this B & B to everyone who would like to experience Venice without being ruined.

9.9

This was incredible accommodation that included an excellent breakfast. Great location - really central (mid-way between Rialto and San Marco), and Nokin was a great hostess - really sweet and accommodating. I would definitely recommend this and would stay here again

9.8

We stayed in room no 3 which had a window overlooking the canal. The bed was very comfortable and the room had everything one needed. The bathroom was spacious and there was plenty of hot water. Nicola and Nok were very welcoming and Nicola served a substantial breakfast in a very attractive breakfast room. The location was very quiet, in a delightful campiello, but close to the Rialto bridge. There are many restaurants in the area. We ate at the Osteria ae Sconte and had a very enjoyable meal. We thought that the Residenzia had great potential. The bathroom, although adequate, would benefit from a refit, to meet the expectations of discerning guests. We would definitely stay at the Residenzia del Doge again.

10

We stayed at the Residenza del Doge 5 years ago and as we were quite satisfied, we decided to go back there this year. Sure that we will come back later for many good reasons. We have already counselled several friends of ours to stay there and all were enthuthiastic. Many thanks to Nok and Nicolà for smile, help and friendly " accoglienza ".

7.9

Charmant Accueil et disponibilité des résidents, chambres spacieuses et typiques, propres, belle vue sur les canaux, dépaysement dans le confort. Emplacement idéal pour une visite approfondie de Venise. Un peu difficile à trouver dans le dédale des ruelles, mais c'est aussi la particularité de Venise.

the best b and b in venice

4.0

On the whole it was ok, but not what we expected. The things that we didn't like were the noise - our room overlooked the canal and from 5 o'clock in the morning awful noise began. Also we didn't quite like the smell in the room - from old furniture or the old house itself. The breakfast was quite nice - pancakes, fresh juice, salami, cheese, coffee or tea. The hostess was friendly. So - fine for one night, but no longer.

8.4

We stayed at the B&B for one night. Our room was spacious, clean, and overlooked the canal. We enjoyed watching the gondolas and the boat activity from the two large windows. The B&B was conveniently located close to most major tourist spots. Probably the most difficult part for us was finding the place though we carried directions and two detailed maps. As well, the absence of staff during the afternoon and evening put us a loose ends for information and for making necessary arrangements.

9.8

Despite the fact that we only stayed for a couple of days, we enjoyed it thoroughly and the accomodation was superb; truly venetian and an excellent breakfast had by all.

0.0

The Bed and Breakfast was "run-down" - too run-down for what we paid. The room smelled a lot like mold, it was disgusting!!! It was so bad that I wish our stay had been shorter in the Bed and Breakfast. It also wasn't very clean.

10

Beautiful Venice, beautiful B&B, wonderful host.

8.7

We stayed 2 nights folloiwng a cruise that ended in Venice. The location was great! Everything was within walking distance. The directions sent by the owner were very helpful. The hospitality was awesome. I would recommend calling on your arrival to make sure someone is there to let you in or letting them know your time of arrival in advance.

10

excelent service , very good , personal and frendly

8.5

The location of the hotel was good, the room very spacious and the owner amable. Very nice place for people who want to rest, away from noise, technology, etc.

8.1

A nice characteristic Venetian home - not a b&b in the British sense but more like a small pension. Rooms are big enough with cosy big chairs. The owners are more than friendly and helpful, even giving us boots to walk the streets when the waters were high. Breakfast was not abundant but quite okay. We missed tea and coffee making facilities during the afternoon or evening. Quietness in the rooms is perfect if it comes to street noise but the walls with the adjoining rooms are very thin, which is not always a recommendation for couples who come to spend their honeymoon here - or their neighbours. All in all a bargain in Venice and we would love to come back.

10

The best place of staing in Venice. In the center of city and for such a cheap price. Puka and her mother are very very nice. And we had very good brekfast.

8.1

The property is in an excellent location with easy access from the train station (once you can read the maps). A lot of character with good facilities. may need some running repairs in some areas. Really good value.

4.5

I have been to Venice previously & instead of again staying in an hotel, made a reservation instead at the Residenza del Doge B/B for the night of Sept 5. Arrangement was I had to phone the Residenza on my arrival by water taxi at Ponte di Rialto & someone from Residenza would meet me there to accompany me on foot to the B/B. Several phone calls were made, also by the watertaxi driver, but no one answered the phone. Because of that I had to find my own way; no easy task for a senior citizen with luggage. Went into shops & asked passersby, was sent back & forth up & down dozens of steps & over canals. Nobody was sure where the B/B was. After 1 1/2 hours I stumbled exhausted into a hotel. From there another phone call was made. The Residenza phone was then answered & a young lady came to fetch me from the hotel to take me to the B/B. The frustration of not being able to reach anyone at the Residenza by phone, was terrible, especially as they had promised to meet us. My friend from the UK was also supposed to be met on her arrival. Again, nobody answered the phone. She eventually bought a map and spent 4 HOURS trying to find the Residenza! No explanation or apology received from the staff at Residenza, for not anwering the phone or for not meeting either of us. Thus we cannot recommend the Residenza. First impressions count! The fact that they offer a good breakfast doesn't make up for the stress & exhaustion of not being met, as promised.

9.8

They were very welcoming. The breckfast was very nice.

7.3

My sister and I stayed for two nights. The only difficulty was finding it (Venice is easy to get lost in generally). We simply phoned and the staff fetched us took us straight there. The room was clean, homely and comfortable, although small. It was also fairly noisy in the morning, but only because it looked directly onto a canal intersection, which I thought was great! Staff were friendly and more than helpful. Good location for the tourist areas of Venice - 5 minutes (if that)to Rialto, 5 to 10 to San Marco. It could do with some tourist info though, such as info on events, tours etc (although this seems to be lacking in most B&Bs). In all, a great stay - Thanks.

6.6

Small B&B near a canal. Good breakfast as compared to rest of Italy. Our room had a private bathroom which was not an ensuite. Quite difficult to find on your own by they usually pick you up vapretto stop. Overall it was an enjoyable stay

8.9

We have got a nice room with marvolous view to a chanal. The owner were nice. We could check in as soon as we arrived in Venice and leave our luggage after the checkout. At 8:00 a.m. we got a fantastic breakfast. The B&B is not far away from Rialto and San Marco. Next time we visit Venice we would take a room there.

6.9

The hostess was great, very friendly - but the breakfast provided was terrible.

9.9

We had a lovely stay here, the room was gorgeous, and the owners are a lovely family. We arrived late at night in St Marks square, Nicole came to meet us immediately and couldn't have been more welcoming for such a late hour! The location is also excellent, quiet at night but easily walkable to all the main sites. Would definitely stay here again.

9.8

Nice family -- we enjoyed the breakfast and conversations!

10

An excellent place to stay in expensive Venice. Location, too, is ideal, close to main streets & alleyways in this beautiful city. We had a spacious room which overlooked a small canal & our own large, very clean bathroom. The owner is very friendly & served a delicious breakfast. Would definitely recommend.

8.2

Extremely nice stay. The only difficulty is to find it.

4.6

The owner was unavailable when we arrived at the B and B. We could not reach her on the phone easily. We waited outside the B&B for her and when she did show up, she took us to another B&B (paradiso?) in the area around SM Formosa. This B&B was ok, but did not appreciate the switch as we chose this site based on reviews and photos.

9.9

The owners are most friendly, helpful and funny.They made our stay fantastic had some good laughts with them. Our room was huge,clean and the most beautiful room we had through out our trip.My daughter and I loved Venice and will stay here again.

9.0

very good location! we walked everywhere from this B&B! Owner picked us up from station which was good since we won't know the way when we first arrive! Breakfast quite filling! Room is HUGE!! Since the room is right next to the river, every morning we can hear those engine noise from the boats BUT doesnt really bother us! Great place and very warm welcome!!

8.0

Attentive personal service. Quaint room with window overlooking canal - small but lovely atmosphere listening to gondoliers singing and whistling.

8.5

This is a great little place. We had a canal view, king bed, and our own private, spacious bathroom with full bath. This said, it is not a luxerious place, but very simple and completely adequate. Nicola, the inn keeper was very sweet and helpful, and even though I've read from other visitors that they thought her English was poor, it wasn't great but definately enough to recommend dinner and take care of business. The breakfast was simple and good, consisting of capuccino, toast, yogurt, fruit, and eggs. Just right to get you started on your day. It was tricky to find, but so is everything in Venice and I appreciated we weren't around the San Marco area that is just crammed with people. Would definately stay again. Little tip, buy the laminated Street-Wise Venice map from your local Borders and B&N - was a lifesaver.

9.2

Wonderful place, pleasant, quiet, and conveniently located but away from the chaos of the tourist areas. While not a huge bargain, it is a great value for Venice.

9.8

We had a wonderful stay and the hospitality was truly amazing. Thank you very much!

5.2

Bedroom very small. Poor furniture. Owners are very kind and breakfeast was correct.Queit place in the heart of venice.A bit desapionted by the bedroom.

7.5

Excellent location and not difficult to find according to instructions. We were in the lower floor room - low ceilinged, a bit claustrophobic but with lots of character, and spacious bathroom. Decor a bit tacky - as in tacking the wallpaper, and needing a bit of maintenance. Breakfast OK, coffee etc. horrible. Service was very welcoming and helpful. Don't know how compares with other places in Venice - sadly, I had the impression this is one of the better places.

9.9

Absolutely wonderful B&B at a great price. Best value! The owners were wonderful and helped us find transportation to the airport and recommended a wonderful restaurant a block away. Perfect stay. (But do have a good map as it is just a little hard to find - like everything in Venice!)

9.0

Decorated with intriguing antiquities,full of charm.Lovely bathroom. A bit hard to find the first time. Nice view on the canals. Good breakfasts.

3.9

The room had a private bath, as promised, but it had to be entered via a public hallway. Also the room was furnished with marble furniture that was broken and in obvious need of repair. The curtains were also in need of repair, as was the lighting fixture above the sink in the bathroom. Breakfast was good. The B&B was hard to find for someone who has never been to Venice, but was close to San Marco.

9.1

Charming, basic accommodations a stone's throw from the Rialto Bridge. Our room had a window on a canal(our request) However, the canal was a very busy service thoroughfare so it could get a bit noisy. Yet, it does give you a truly Venetian experience. City-dwellers will adapt quickly. The staff, a young couple, were wonderful and helpful. He is a chef and speaks a little English. She stays on site and speaks very little. The room was, again,a Venetian experience. Small, clean, low wood beamed ceilings. The bed...just a little lumpy. Breakfast was good but basic plus eggs, as you like them.

9.1

We stayed in Venice for 4 days (3 nights). Very friendly, helpful, clean and welcoming venue. Quite difficult to find the B & B initially but street markings in Venice generally quite confusing. Very adequate breakfast each day. Lovely quiet location.

8.5

Charming B&B in the Castello area of Venice, well placed for sightseeing. Nok was very welcoming and amenable. Our room was lovely although we did find the bed and pillows a little hard so maybe bring your own if you have back problems. Very good price for Venice.

7.6

Small as expected, charming room with low beamed ceiling and almost-finished wall treatments of sumptuous fabric. The bathroom was modern though the fixtures didn't all work. It was fine, just not stellar. The ad should not say free internet point, it's the owner's personal computer, clunky and difficult to use, in the breakfast room upstairs. They do have wireless service, according to the owner, but he didn't have a password available to get on to the network so I'd lugged my laptop for no reason. Breakfast was cooked eggs and a crepe, rather impersonally and hurriedly served, with the usual continental additions of juice, yogurt, tiny bowl of cornflakes, mediocre machine-cappuccino. Both mornings we felt rushed out of the breakfast, though we were not overstaying the advertised time. Even with these minor complaints, the overall experience and convenient location, plus reasonable rates, made this a positive stay.

9.9

Wow, I wasn't expecting much of my first stay at a Bed and Breakfast. Sometimes some reviews may be kind of off about the quality of the stay. But my stay in Venice, Residenza del Dodge was the BEST possible. When you finally get to the place (we didn`t print out the map that was sent by email), you`re (very well) received by an italian lady (that lives at Residenza Del Dodge). She is very welcoming, and even brought us coca-cola when we first got in. The rooms are very big and spacious (the location of the B&B is very good). But the overall plus was the morning breakfast. WOW! Great job on treating well the clients, by Paloma (I think this was her name, but I'm not sure): pancake, toasts, yogurt, scrambled eggs, fruits, cereals, and the best tsting juice I have EVER tasted. Very good and was well worth the money.

7.7

Very clean and comfortable... Breakfast is very nice... Price/quality is quite high for accomodation in Venice... Totally is so good except we can not use share bathroom after we check out,sigh...

10

Lovely people, lovely place to stay. Great location.

6.9

We made a mistake by hopping on to the vaporetto in the wrong direction so it took us longer than expected to get to the b&b. But using the map, it was easy enough to find (it's at the end of a courtyard). We had to stand outside for quite a while because the owner had not heard us ringing the bell. Otherwise, breakfast was fine, the rooms were nice and newly renovated, the only thing that annoyed us a little was that we had booked a double room, but it was just two beds pushed together with a very hard part in the middle. Good location and good value for the money. Our tip: get the 72-hour vaporetto card and just go up and down the chanel a couple of times- it's a great experience! All in all, I would recommend this bed & breakfast for its good value.

8.1

Residendza del Doge is perfectly located to explore Venice. The rooms are fine with everything you need - ours even had a great view of a canal. The hosts are very welcoming and the breakfast is substantial, including great coffee.

9.7

We enjoyed our stay at Residenza del Doge. We had no trouble finding the place at all, but you need a good map before you arrive in Venice. The location was terrific quiet at night and easy walking to the major sights. We would definatly stay there again.

6.4

I really enjoyed my stay in Venice at that place, which is very central, clean and in a beautiful house. The breakfast was great and Nok very kind and welcoming. The only problem is that I learnt once arrived, that my friend and I will have to share the shower and the toilets, which was absolutely not written on the web site and which does not correspond with the price of this B & B.

9.4

I had a single room at the B+B and shared a bathroom with a couple in a nearby room. Both the room and bathroom were kept spotlessly clean and the bed was very comfortable. The window in the bedroom opened onto two canals which provided a lovely atmosphere listening to and watching the activity on the canals. The breakfast served is fantastic - fruit, cereal, bread, omelette and crepes, more food than you can eat. The hosts are very friendly and happy to give advice on activities, restaurants, etc. The location is convenient to the vaporetto stop at Ponte Rialto and you receive detailed directions via email before you travel to Venice. The property is a five minute walk from St Mark's Square.

9.5

Hello, We appréciate the kindeness of the owners of the B&B. We want to congratualte them for the cleaness of the room and the bathroom. A special mention for the Breackfast. The situation in the town is particulary excpetionnel. By a next trip to Venise, we will not hesitate to come back again. Regard

8.9

Une maison très charmante avec des chambres très d'époque et décorées avec des antiquités. L'endroit est propre. Nous avions une chambre à deux lits simples avec 2 fenêtres sur le canal. Nous étions émerveillés car c'était notre premier voyage à Venise. Les déjeuners sont extra. Merci à Nok et Nicola pour la bonne bouffe et les indications pour se rendre à l'aéroport. La maison est située à moins de 10 minutes de marche du Pont Rialto. Nicola a bien donné les indications pour s'y rendre. Il y a deux ponts avec escaliers à traverser. Si vous aimez la musique, assister à un concert Vivaldi dans le théatre situé près du Pont Rialto. Pour 25 Euros, cela vaut le coût. Nous étions à Venise pour 2 jours seulement. Ne manquez pas le Palais des Doges, Place San Marco (nourrisser les pigeons) et aller à Murano pour les dentelles et les maisons très colorées. Perdez vous dans les dédalles des rues de Venise; cela en vaut la peine. Écouter le silence de Venise le soir. Nous espérons pouvoir y retourner et demeurer encore à la même Résidence Del Doge.

9.2

Sehr nettes B&B, sehr nette Concierge, tolles, liebevoll angerichtetes Frühstück, nur ein paar Meter von Santa Maria Formosa. Etwas kompliziert zu finden - am Ende des Calle D Dose am Restaurant rechts, nächste links, dann ist es das Haus auf das man zu läuft.

8.9

I had a wonderful stay here the people are wonderful. Thank you so much for making us feel at home.

4.8

Pour un couple, nous aurions souhaité avoir une chambre avec un grand lit plutot que deux lits jumeaux...L'accès est difficile mais il suffit d'envoyer unmail aux prpriétaires qui répondent rapidement. Nous n'avons pas vu l'accès internet proposé dans les services du B&B. Pour finir, l'emplacement est idéal, un peu bruyant quand la chambre donne sur le canal mais on est à Venise...

8.9

Our arrival coincided with Nicolo & Noki being unavailable. While the daughter that was sent knew where she was going she was not overly friendly or helpful. The rest of the stay was fantastic! Breakfast was bountiful and the company charming. Nicolo & Noki were also both helpful with information and gave us a wonderful farewell. Their location off of Campo Santa Maria Formosa was excellent. Far enough off the tourist path, but convienient to attractions.

8.5

Not easy to find, I lost a sheet on which I noted, what the place is "really" called, the given adress is rather misleading. Very nice family though (each member with fairly different skills in foreign languages...) Our room was right above a "canale" - extremely nice (despite the midges). As Venice IS expensive you get a good value in relation.

10

As a first time tourist to Venice, we had a little difficulty in locating this place, but once there it was in a perfect position for exploring everything. We would highly recommend this B & B.

8.9

We really enjoyed our stay at the Residenza del Doge. The couple who ran it were friendly and helpfully answered our questions, the breakfast they supplied was more than adequate, our room had character and a great canal view, and it didn't take long to walk to San Marco (and most other places!). The only problem we had was finding the owners during the day time if we had a question. Overall, we enjoyed our stay, and would happily return.

9.2

We stayed a couple of nights at a clean, well-decorated, spacious appartment which was convenient to all the things we wanted to see in Venice. Could not have been better. Good facilities all-round. Breakfast was sparse, but easily supplemented by visiting one of the many little cafes around. Add about 15 euros pp for this. We parked on the mainland and trained/boated it into Venice. For a couple of days add about 50 euros to the cost of your stay. Highly recommended, particularly as the owner of the appartment supplied us with maps and milk.

9.0

Nicola was very welcoming with a glass of red orange juice and friendly smile. They were upgrading the air conditioning so a bit of construction was occuring but it will be to the benefit of future guests. The room was very beautiful with a wonderful view of the canals. I spent time just gazing out of the window one afternoon and got to experience the interaction with the locals as they went about their work days. The place was located well although a bit hard to find (as are most things in Venice). I would stay here again if I travelled to Venice.

9.9

Both the accommodations and the friendliness and helpfulness of the host were superb. Our room had a view of the canal; the decor and the beamed ceiling made us feel that we had stepped into Venezia of the 1500s. Our friendly host, Nicola, provided information and helpfulness far beyond the usual. He helped to make our stay the most memorable of our entire vacation. (He's a good cook, too!) Highly recommended!

9.8

Any shortcomings this B&B may have (and they are indeed minor ones) are more than made up for by the kindness of the hosts. Nok and Nicola are very welcoming people who immediately make you feel at welcome and cared for. The room was incredibly spacious and the breakfast was so much more than we received at other places. Nok was wonderful to talk with and get advice about what to see and how to get there and such, not to mention a fantastic cook. We were on the second floor and shared the bathroom - it was always spotless. One thing: Nok's estimation that the hotel is about five minutes from the Rialto is a little optimistic for those travelling with luggage. Expect more like ten. Without your bags you can certainly be there in five minutes, but we found it's much more fun to take your time, wander around and get lost, and explore all the little bridges and streets. Grazie, Nok and Nicola!

9.5

room is good. service is very good, especially the breakfast. the location is not easy to find. but it's always hard to find any inside Venice. the information provided by the owner of the hotel is very helpful, otherwise, we cannot find it.

9.5

Nichola is a great host. we've loved our staying at this appartment. The room is great, just above a canal with Gondolas and the position is excelent. (Just make sure you know how to reach the place. it's a little complicated)

9.1

other than clibimg three stories of stairs it was a great experience. dont bring heavy suitcases with you...there is no bell boy or an elevator

9.9

A great Bed and Breakfast. The B&B was very clean and the breakfast was excellent. Yje bed was firm and the room furniture was 1st class. The staff was very helpful with directions and accomdated all of our wishes. I highly recommend this B&B if you travel to Venice.

8.9

This was a dream vacation and staying at Residenza del Doge was perfect. We had a fantastic stay. The owners were wonderful, breakfast was so very good. We have recommended this B&B to all our friends. We can not wait to return.

8.8

We actually ended up staying at the 'sister' B&B, Residenza del Paradisio, which was a few blocks deeper into the neighborhood. Once we were convinced we had accurate directions and could make our way back, it was fine. This is off the beaten track but in a charming neighborhood courtyard. It was quiet, and we really didn't see any other guests or even staff except for breakfast. It would have been nice to talk to someone about restaurant or late night options, or to have someone help with any meal reservations, but we managed. The personnel was friendly when we encountered them, and they gave us great access to our luggage ours after we checked out. If I were to have stayed more than one night it would have been just as good. No pretentions here, just a charming, quiet, friendly place to spend the night away from the noisey centers.

9.4

Hemos pasado un fin de semana maravilloso en venecia!!!! muchas gracias por vuestra hospitalidad, amabilidad y eficacia!!! realmente la residencia del doge vale la pena por el precio, la situacion geografica y el buen servicio!!! ha sido perfecto!!! gracias

10

Residenzia del Doge was a very pleasant surprice!!! We will come back to Venezia as soon as possible, and we will not stay other places than at the Residenzia del Doge! The whole place was charming and beautiful, and the young couple were so warm and welcoming. We loved it! Best regards from Olav, Beate and Sara from Norway

9.9

Both Nicola and the property FAR exceeded our expectations and hopes. He was gracious, accommodating, patient and kind. He went out of his way to welcome us, even at 10 pm, to his fair city by meeting us at the Rialto and showing us "home." The room was charming: spacious, comfortable, clean. It was adjacent to the large bathroom and wonderful shower (Venice was our first stop; I had no idea just HOW wonderful the shower was until seeing others on our list!) His breakfast was delicious and bountiful. On behalf of my study abroad daughter, I thank Nicola for taking such good care of us on our adventure!

9.4

If you're staying in Venice for a day or a week, this place is highly recommended. Perfect to unwind, excellent location, great breakfasts, you cannot ask for more. Next time I'm in Venice, I'll be sure to stay at the Residenza del Doge. Thanks for all your help Nicola.

8.9

Great location. Outstanding breakfast.

9.9

This was a wonderfull room overlooking the canal. The room was a nice size and breakfast was a real full breakfast. This would be my first choice of accomodations when back in Venice. This is an older historic building so while not perfect it was full of charm and character.

8.3

very very good place for a little holiday..

9.8

My wife and I found the Residenza del Doge, Bed and Breakfast stay excellent. The location is central to the sites that We wanted to visit. We were able to easily find the address and were warmly welcomed with a glass of red orange drink. The room We were given was recently renovated and had its own bath room. We found the room comfortably warm, clean and quiet. We were impressed by the breakfast served on a table set up just in front of our room entrance. Nok, made a great omelet to supplement the bread, cheese, red orange drink, coffee and yogurt . We were able to pay with our Master Card, keep out luggage in the hotel past checkout time. Thanks again for a great experience

6.9

The map is too simple. Hard to find the place. But the employee is kindly. By the way, the door plate number is not clear.

7.8

The room was charming being right on a canal but also a liitle noisy due to canal traffic. The owners were lovely people who were very helpful with directions which is much needed in Venice!

8.9

Stuttura ospitale, a pochi minuti da p.za S.Marco. Un ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo. Non bisogna aspettarsi il lusso di altri alberghi (molto più cari), ma il soggiorno è stato piacevole. Il bagno condiviso con altre persone non è un problema se sono tuoi compagni di viaggio. Il gestore Nicola è accogliente e cordiale. Lo terrò in considerazione per il mio prossimo viaggio a Venezia

9.2

It is a bit difficult to find the Residenza by oneself, but I was eager to do so, and I succeeded by asking the postman. So I didn't need the help of Nicolà, the very friendly owner, which he had offered to me by telephone. I stayed for 7 days. The breakfast was superb, and I was introduced by Nicolà into the everyday - life of the Sestière Castello, and he gave also advice to me for my trip across the islands (Lido and Pellestrina) to Chioggia. So Niccolà and his girlfriend helped me to meet fully my expectations. The Residenza, at 10'by feet to San Marco, 10' to the Rialto Bridge, 10 - 15' to the Arsenale was ideal for me! See you again next year in November/December, when it begins to get calmer at Venice and you can feel yourself at home in Castello, at the Residenza's! Thanks for all your kindness!

8.0

Very good location and rich breakfast. The house owners are very friendly. In overall good value for money.

9.1

great stay, but when we got to the address given they had us walk to a different building which was a little annoying.

Hemos viajado con mi hijo y mi sobrina. La habitación era espaciosa, silenciosa y con vistas a uno de los cientos de canales. Especial atención a la buena calidad de las camas, yo especialmente extraño mucho, hemos dormido muy bien. Las olores geniales........ limpio, limpio. Los desayunos con Nicola, espectaculares por su café como por su simpatia.El unico inconveniente que hemos encontrado es que el baño no estaba en al habitación, era compartido.

1.1

Assoluta mancanza di professionalità da parte del gestore, Nicola. Una persona estremamente arrogante che ci ha velatamente dato degli analfabeti perché abbiamo chiesto se ci fosse il bagno in camera, salvo chiedere scusa appena si è reso conto che non era professionale mantenere un atteggiamento di sfida con i clienti. Non ci aspettavamo degli standard di accoglienza elevati dato che si tratta di un bed & breakfast ma pretendere la buona educazione del gestore mi sembra il minimo. Consiglio agli stranieri di non alloggiare lì per il modo di fare di chi gestisce il posto: sarebbe una cattiva pubblicità per tutti gli italiani.

A part la situation de l'hôtel, l'accueil de Nicolas et le petit déjeuner, pas grand chose de fantastique pour ces chambres d'hôtes. La petite taille de notre chambre, du lit(tas de ressorts), le ménage très approximatif et la salle de bain commune ne justifient aucunement les tarifs pratiqués. Heureusement que Venise est une ville magique et fabuleuse... nous y retournerons avec grand plaisir, mais certainement pas à le Résidenza del Doge!

Thank you to Niko and Nicola for having given me very specific directions on how to find them. I purchased a map and using the directions they gave me, I had no problems finding them at all.

I had a wonderful stay. Nicola was most helpful in everything, from internet use to restaurant recommendation. The location was great and once you know your way around, it is so easy to find. I would (and will) tell anyone that this is a great place to stay.

Nicola was extraordinarily hospitable; we arrived wet and tired, he met us with towels, coffee and chocolates. He made a real breakfast with omelets. He emailed us clear directions to del Doge which we were able to follow (with a little help from strangers). I highly recommend del Doge for anyone who wants to experience Venice fully.

After reading about the "18th century venetain building" as advertised on the website I decided to book a room in Residenza del Doge. I was very surprised when I arrived because instead of a room in the Residenza I was actually taken to a place some 10 minutes away from it. The room was in a completely different building! No quaint furniture or other nice things from the website photos. The room was clean and simple, the hostess was very kind, and the location is good but that was not what I had booked!

I was SO impressed. I average 100 hotel nights per year and this charming and friendly couple went out of their way to make us comfortable and feel at home. You can tell they love what they do and really appreciate the business. I HIGHLY recommend this as your top pick for a place to stay in Venice!!! It's a must. Breakfast was great. The couple is so charming. They speak at least four languages.

i stayed at the residenza del doge in sep 2006 and definitely recommend it for anyone looking for reasonably priced accommodation in venice. it is difficult to locate, especially if you have never been to venice before. however, this is easily overcome by contacting them upon arrival and having someone meet you at the vaporetto stop. it's only about 5 mins from rialto bridge and maybe 8-10 from st. mark's. very central yet still quiet. and excellent breakfasts!!
