It may be that the hotel staff have taken on board some of the criticisms on this site; contrary to other reviews, I had a very pleasant experience at this hotel. We stayed for four nights at the end of August 2009, and found the rooms to be scrupulously clean, very large and nicely furnished. Venice is a very expensive... more

I have NEVER written a review before but feel compelled to warn anyone interested in staying at Residenza alle Zattere. We stayed at this B&B for 3 nights in September after a 2 weeks of traveling around Italy. We stayed in several other B&Bs during our travels and all were wonderful - except this one. 1. Our room was disgusting...paint... more

I have arrived in this place and payed cash and then the owner charged my credit card (details of which I had to give to make a reservation) I phoned and wrote emails asked for the return and at first he said he will, but then started to totally ignore me and and stopped replying to emails... Be very careful. more

We were happy to be away from the very center of Venice. The neighborhood was most peaceful and romantic and yet, a 10 minute walk from everything and sorrounded by small businesses (restaurants, supermarket, cafes, etc) If I ever go back would stay in the same area of Venice (Dorsoduro) Our room was very large and comfortable Breakfast was very... more

We recently stayed at Residenza alle Zattere and were extremely well-pleased. The location was wonderful for us, as it was in a very quiet and charming location alongside a very small canal with small alleys and little bridges everywhere. It felt a world away from the overwhelming tides of tourists near San Marco, but it was easy to walk or... more

Residenza Zattere was everything we wanted it to be. Quiet, friendly and convenient and good value compared to a lot of the places, Centred around an internal courtyard in a U-shape this old palace fronts onto a small canal and has been converted to a B&B yet still retains much character. This is a real quiet corner of Venice that... more

My husband and I just came back from a 3-night stay in Venice and we found the Residenza alle Zattere a fabulous place to stay. Francesco the owner was courteous and helpful and gave us lots of tips about where to eat and interesting places to visit. (And in contrast to an earlier reviewer - while we were there a... more

Totally disappointed and will not return. We stayed here two years ago and had a pretty good time. This time we returned on a special birthday trip for my brother. Francesco should find a new job rather than run a B&B. He was dismal. He ignored guests when they walked into the room. He was really unhelpful to a woman... more

First the good. Residenza alle Zattere is in a blissfully beautiful location. A lovely lovely area of Venice, overlooking a quiet canal. The accommodation is a bit sparse and a bit odd. Huge 42" TV screen, but only one English news channel. A nice chandelier, but no atmosphere. The bath was just a dribble, no promises at the time to... more
