Residenza Ducato

This was a fantastic hotel. We arrived from the UK at night, the hotel staff had arranged transport for us from the airport to the hotel, and made arrangements for our keys also. The next day they had arranged for breakfast to be delivered. When we did have a chance to meet she was very helpful in giving us information about where to go. Access to to the hotel was easy, it was centrally located and in walking distance to all the sites. Inside the ambiance, decorations, arrangements, furniture, and amenities were all fantastic. It was our first time visiting Venice and being at this hotel with such a helpful and accommodating staff was the cherry on top. Definitely recommend to stay here.

Excellent location, 5 min walk from Rialto. Quieter that the GC are and I loved that everything I needed was within 5 min walking distance. Supermarket,bakeries, breakfast, cicchetti , dinner , everything. Gets much quieted in the evenings . The property had a small garden upfront and I am a sucker for open spaces, especially in tight places like Venice. We got ground floor apartment and was lovely. Valentina was a darling and helped us with many recommendations. Left us a pasticceria bundle one morning …

What wasn’t to like? You walk into a ‘secret’ doorway into an immaculate little courtyard and that sort of sets the scene for the rest of it. It’s like staying in the best hotel but instead of just a room you actually have an apartment to yourself. Small but perfectly formed, it has everything you could need and all is at a really high standard. Really modern and some lovely touches like the minibar and coffee maker and even a washing machine if you were staying for longer. The breakfast pastries each morning came as lovely surprise to us and were delicious. The staff were really friendly and provided us with a little pack of information when we first arrived and were always helpful. The location is perfect, you can reach anywhere from here really easily too, cannot fault a thing.

the room was very spacious. well equipped kitchen. the hotel is near a supermarket, therefore you could cook and store your groceries. no complaints. staff even provided a take away gift (fresh bakery) when we checked out. there is a lift - so if travelling with elderly its good. location was nearby to everything. water taxi num. 2 if you need to get to train station. if you book any tour (murano etc) the meeting location is nearby this hotel.

With its entrance in a quiet side street, the stylish Residenza is ideally located for the Rialto Bridge (and market area) in one direction and St Mark's Square in the other. We happily walked to other sites as well, e.g. the superb Peggy Guggenheim gallery and the two locations of the main Biennale exhibitions. Also nearby: a great number of restaurants and two supermarkets. Highlights of the accommodation are the bathroom (with its shower as gadget!) and the comfortable bed. The main room is extremely spacious. Storing our luggage for several hours before departure for the airport was no problem at all!
