Alla Vite Dorata

We stayed 3 nights in this delightful bijou guest house / hotel for a special 30th wedding anniversary treat. This guest house comprises only 6 rooms on the ground floor of the building, we had one of the rooms directly overlooking a smaller canal in a location off the main tourist throughfares but just a short walk away from them and the vaporetto water bus stops, so it's in an ideal location. We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel, it was perfect for our purposes, ideal for a couple. The room was spotlessly clean and well appointed. Breakfasts were continental Italian style buffet but plentiful and with lots of choice in a room that overlooked the canal. If you were lucky and the table wasn’t already occupied you could sit at the table outside directly on the canal to have your breakfast. There was some noise in the mornings around 7 AM as deliveries by boat were unloaded for the local businesses, however, for us this added to the charm of the location, experiencing more of the “living / working” Venice and we didn’t come to Venice to sleep late! There is no 24 hour staffing, but arriving late (after 6:30 PM) we were able to access our room without a problem, and on the last day we could leave our luggage after check-out to collect later. Aleksandra and her team were lovely and very helpful & welcoming.

Amazing! Very clean! And very friendly .. beautiful place! Thank you!

Amazing place to stay, great continental breakfast, amazing staff, meets your needs in the most subtle of ways

A little gem of a hotel on a quiet canal. This property is run by friendly, highly professional people who attend to your every request. A short walk from the airport boat and close to excellent restaurants and shopping. A fabulous four nights!

excellent service and very helpful.

Stayed for just one night and location was great for making the most of my time, being just a short walking distance from many of the city's main attractions. The staff were also very accommodating about storing my luggage. I was in a room right next to the main entrance, which I thought might be too noisy, but it was absolutely fine during the night (although there were some loud deliveries outside in the morning). Everything was clean and beautifully presented and I would happily stay there again!

The staff was warm, caring and helpful. The room was quite nice, the breakfast was great and the location was in a quieter area, which was quite peaceful. It is about a 15 minute walk to St. Mark's Square, about 20-25 minute walk to the train station ... all reasonably convenient.

Quaint and lovely. Breakfast was simple, but nice. Staff was wonderful.
