We took the water bus Alilaguna from the airport to the hotel it was the second stop at Fondamenta Nove, take a left over the bridge and the hotel is there on your right with a small canopy over the door. It was late when we arrived after a quick check in we were taken to our room upstairs no.6.,... more

The previous comments are very fair . The hotels location is wonderful...grt area of the City . The views from our room ( no 8 ) just fantastic . The rate VFM for Venice . So why not 5 stars ? Water was not hot , breakfast very basic , and lots of noise at night from the rooms upstairs... more

Great little place to stay! I did research on Trip Advisor (thank you fellow travellers!) before selecting this hotel. Quiet and away from the noise of heavily travelled tourist spots but near to Rialto Bridge and other sites. It's about a 15 minute walk to San Marco (if you know the short-cuts) and I would say 30-35 minute if you... more

Just home from a three night stay at this beautiful little hotel. It is in a fantastic location - get the Alilaguna from the airport get off at the second stop Fondamente Nouve and over one bridge and you are at the door of the hotel! The hotel is very compact with about only eight rooms - We stayed in... more

Difficult to add to the postive feedback. Good, clean hotel, excellent location away from the tourist mayhem. Handy for the waterbus. Cash machine three paces from hotel door. Posh (and very nice) restaurant on one side, cheap pizza place three doors down on the other side. Pleasant host. Small point. the waterbus from the airport doesn't stop outside, it stops... more

My wife and I have just returned from a 5 night stay at the Vecellio and can wholeheartedly recommend it. We had read Trip Advisor reviews before booking and can confirm that most of them (mainly the complimentary ones) are accurate. Matteo, the owner/manager, is supremely helpful and speaks very good English. The bedrooms are small but tastefully furnished and... more

As the hotel only has 8 rooms, Matteo, the manager, is able to give a very personal service. As a born & bred Venetian, he knows all the non tourist sights & restaurants, & is happy to give suggestions.However he is not pushy either. Our room, the red room was lovely, with Venetian decor, and 2 windows, 1 overlooking the... more

Great location, 4 steps from airport taxi to lobby!! Warm and welcoming arrival and cosy (but large) room. The breakfast was excellent. Short walk through a non-touristy area to Rialto and San Marco. Stored bags all day before our flight. Eveyone at the hotel was amazingly friendly and helpful and recommended the excellent Trattoria Storica for dinner. Would HIGHLY recommend... more

We stayed at the hotel in a very hot June and would thoroughly recommend it. The room was small (as every room in venice is), but full of character and really nicely done. We also had a great view out over the lagoon. Breakfasts were simple but tasty. The staff were really helpful. One of the major bonses about the... more
