Villa Ducale

Wow! When we arrived we were impressed with the look of the hotel and garden. Even had a red carpet out, sadlt not for us. There was a local family wedding later that evening. Our room, although not large was adequate with a large ensuite marble bathroom. All decorated in old Italian regency style. A huge buffet breakfast was supplied with lots of choices. Staff were friendly and helpful. Free wifi available.

Beautiful hotel with very nice and helpful staff. Venice was one bus away. The bus stop was a few feet from the hotel. The breakfast buffet was great.

We stayed 2 nights. It’s a very beautiful old villa. We would come back. Service wasn't great. But they tried hard. One only was able to speak English. Transportation information was only minimal, had to figure out the details our self. Don’t ask the stuff questions about Venice. They seem not to be prepared well for Venice tourists. They are probably making most of their business with weddings and Italian guests. When you figure it out, the bus connection to Venice is great. Hotel price was very good. Hotel is a very old villa. Was very nice too sleep in an old historic house. Beautiful garden/park. Breakfast was lots of sweet stuff, if you want something different, let them know, they will try to organize it for the next morning. If you want to eat out, there are two places nearby, but no one there speaks any English. Trust me, I mean “NO” English. We had 7 waiters standing around our boy to try to understand him. After a while one came to rescue us. He was able to talk very good German. @hotel … prepare some information on paper for your guests who are visiting Venice. How to ride the bus, costs times, ferry option. How to get around in Venice. You will make your guests happier.

Typical European hotel- no pool, 2 beds pushed together to make a king which leaves a crack in the middle. The beds were very hard. The staff was pleasant but not all spoke English. They did offer a breakfast in the morning which was good but the cereal was stale. The shuttle offered to the airport was good but very expensive! 65 euros each way!

We chose this hotel as it was reasonably priced and close to Venice which we wanted to visit. In fact it was only half an hour away on the bus and the stops are right outside the hotel. The location of the hotel is in a very pleasent setting with the river running by across the road. There are plenty of other places to visit around the area if you weary from walking round Venice. Also there is plenty of parking with shade around the grounds. The hotel itself is in need of a little TLC in places, mainly outside. The room we had was very comfortable. The staff were more than helpful and very pleasent and polite. The breakfast was a typical continental breakfast. However, there was a vast choice and you would not go hungry. Would I go back again - most defiantly.

The hotel was beautiful. our room was a little cramped for the six of us (two kids slept on the floor) but the AC worked great (AC! first time on our trip) and we all slept well. Just a 20 minute drive to Venice from here. The staff held breakfast for us even though we were a good 30 minutes after they normally close it off.

We stayed for 2 nights after arriving from a Cruise ending in Venice. This hotel is old and has seen better days but is a picture in the sunshine. Very nice gardens with an abandoned concrete swimming pool, ice house, well and flowering trees and borders. It overlooks the river and is a very peaceful area. The hotel has very high ceilings and is quite attractive with large paintings of Venice.The WiFi works in the entrance hall but not in our room (27). The A/C worked well in the room and we were there at a time in June which was very hot. If you get a room overlooking the front of the hotel on the first floor above the ground you might get working WiFi. They have a good restaurant but a little expensive although the hotel room rate was very reasonable.

Loved the staff, location and facilities. Out of the hustle and bustle of the city and has lovely little restaurants close by.

This was my first trip to Venice Italy. I truly do not regret to have stayed in Villa Ducale. It is a beautiful place to stay, very comfortable rooms with everything you need. Their customer service was excellent in every aspect. Everyone was very friendly, helpful, and professional. Many Thanks!

The only problem was the traffic noise which continued all night.
