Villa Contarini B&B

Especially the location, 10 minutes walk from centre and the wonderful welcome from Sven. The Villa is superbly renovated and everything is clean and in great condition.

The only thing we were surprised by was the private bathroom wasn't en-suite, but the bathroom was superb, just a short walk across the landing. This was our fault for not reading other reviews, which pointed out that some rooms were not en-suite. The bathroom was for our use only. Next time we will book the en-suite room.

The house is very charming and well taken care of. For me, this was the first time staying at a B&B and I didn’t know what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised by the wonderful host, Sven and had lovely conversations with him and other guests over breakfast. The highlight for me was that every morning I would wake up to the smell of freshly baked croissants. So I would always start the day with a smile! Highly recommend Villa Contarini, especially if you prefer a calm and cute spot from which to explore the beautiful Venezia, which is just one short vaporetto trip away!

Convenient location, clean, orderly and comfortable

Feeling like I became a part of lovely Italian family

Beautiful B&B, walking distance to the boat to Venice, nice bright room with balcony overlooking the garden and canal, very clean, garden to sit outside and private parking if needed. To stay overnight we prefer Lido over Venice. Nice restaurants with terraces to eat outside, very good food, much less touristic but still very beautiful and good atmosphere. Perfect mix between culture and relaxation. Love it!

Nothing

Sven was a helpful host, B&B 10 minute walk to the waterboats. Nice bars and restaurants close by. Breakfast was tasty, check in/check out easy. Room was comfy and clean.

Personal approach

None

Our host, Sven, was very kind and gracious. The historic building is beautiful, nicely decorated with some modern touches. Outside garden area in back is private and relaxing. Our bed & comforter was extraordinary. It was one of thee best beds we had slept in on our entire trip. Breakfast was delicious. The property was in close proximity to shops, restaurants, a quaint laundromat (location and address pictured below) and only a 10 min walk from the water taxi port.

Our room and bathroom were beautiful and cozy. We knew we would have a private bathroom, however we thought it would be an ensuite, not a separate bathroom across the hall. We would definitely stay here again, but we would reserve the room with the bathroom attached. We really like our privacy, so having to get dressed and go outside the room to use the bathroom was not our favorite thing, but someone else might not care. But, its nice to be made aware of that in the listing. Great stay nonetheless.
