Independent, Venice Hotels

The location is excellent. I wish the hotel had an elevator.

Absolutely brilliant.. Couldn't fault it... Beautiful and the cleanest hotel I have ever stayed in. Wish there was a huge double bed rather than 2 single pushed together and wished it wAs easier to find. Great stay. Will be back very soon

We booked a hotel in Venice, but decided to spend our first night outside of Venice, since our flight arrived late in the evening. We greatly enjoyed Hotel Villa Costanza. The room was very clean, modern, and spacious. Of the 6 hotels we stayed in during our trip to Italy and Germany, this was the largest of all of the rooms we stayed in. The staff at the hotel were very friendly and provided us with a map and information about getting into Venice. The hotel is very close to a train station - about 5 blocks. The breakfast buffet at the hotel was delicious, although not included in the price of our room.

Upon arrival to Venezia we were uncertain on how to locate the B&B, so we were a bit lost due to us not reading the "upon arrival" email Esmeralda & Mario (our hosts) had previously sent. So we stopped the at the nearest restaurant and ordered a bottle of their finest local wine. We asked our gracious restaurant host - Peter if we could use his phone to contact Esmeralda & Mario and he gladly called for us. Once he called, Esmeralda arrived promptly after and walked us over, it appeared we were only 5 minutes away from our destination. Once we settled in, Esmeralda was gracious enough to have various maps and information for us as well as a mini history lesson of Venezia and it's surroundings which was a great treat and very helpful. She also included restaurant recommendations as well as points of interest and they all proved to be as great as she said they would be. On our last day we also had the opportunity to meet Francesca (Esmeralda's sister-in-law) and she was also a great host. Mario & Esmeralda's B&B felt like a home away from home, their hospitality was admirable and we can't wait to go back.

The hotel was not too hard to find. Was greeted by very polite and professional hotel staff who was very helpful and courteous throughout entire stay. The room was spacious even though we were a family of 5. The location was pretty much the central point of our vacation in Venice. We plan on going back again in a few years, and will book this hotel again. Was a wonderful visit.

Great room, generous breakfast included, very close to S. Samuele vaporetto stop and with many tourist attractions within a short walk. The staff went above and beyond in providing recommendations of things to do and see in the area, printed boarding passes (which we'd forgotten to do) and even offered us coffees at 6am when we left to catch our flight. Highly recommended, especially for couples.

A very short walk from the train station requiring no bridge crossings. Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Clean comfortable room, although dated decor. By no means a luxury hotel, but very comfortable as a traveler's hotel.

This little hotel is just the real deal. it is so central, yet pretty peaceful at night. During the day there are countless tour groups stopping next door to view the Scala del Bolvolo. If you do a little homework t is extremely easy to find. Both the vaporetto #1 and Allilaguna Aranchia drop you at Rialto and from there it is a 3 minute walk with no bridges. Whilst the staff have little English, they never-the-less are as helpful as can be. I stayed in the single room which, whilst small, is more than adaquate and the en suite is always spotless. I saw the inside of three other rooms, doubles and a triple, and they were roomy. As a base for exploring Venice you cannot find better - and I have stayed in several other locations. There is no breakfast, but at the price you are paying it is no hassle to stop at one of the hundreds of bars for that. It is not luxury, but is is a great place to start your days in La Serenissima.

Hotel was the perfect location to our trip in Italy. the staff was very helpfull and friendly. hotel was close to a lot of restaurants and shops. we took the train from rome and the hotel is just about 100 meters or so from the train station. just make a left next to the church and you will find it thru the small street. the continental breakfast is great. only drawback was the small shower. overall great price.
