The hotel is new and nice, the staff and owners are friendly. the breakfast is outstanding! A nice place to study art. Watch the walk to the bus it is very long and streets are not marked. Ask for David's map that I made. If walking is an issue call a taxi. More

We stayed in Villa Ricordi for 3 nights in late September 2011. The feel of the room is more of a hotel room, though very clean and has what you need to serve as a home base before heading off to Venice. Monica and Phillipe (sp?) were very friendly and excellent hosts. They were helpful with any questions we asked... More

Excellent B&B! Venice is expensive & Mestre is a great place to stay to save some $. The B&B is a 5 min walk from th train station. Mestre is NOT a nice place. The train station is sketchy, but the walk is short to the B&B. I would be nervous walking alone at night, so I don't recommend Mestre... More

This is just a small B&B, but my sister and I stayed here after another friend recommended it to us. I was a little disappointed initially, when I learned it was located in Mestre and not actually in Venice, but it turned out to be much better for us, because it made it easier for us to get up and...

It is only minutes away from the train station and also near the Marco Polo airport (15 mins away by shuttle bus). It provides very very very clean rooms with a/c and shower and excellent Italian style breakfast. You wake up to the... More

This Villa can be easily spotted because of the bright exterior paint. Pros: 1. It is close to the Mestre station. 2. Late in the night when you return from Venice to Mestre you do not have to worry about walking in the lonely street. The ACTV bus stops right across the house. (bus stop: Sernaglia) 3. Owners are very... More

This place was a charm. We were on our budget trip to Venice, and this place was absolutely suitable. Monica and Philippe were very accommodating. They gave us a lot of information about how to travel around and tips on what works in Italy. More

Ideal situation close to rail & bus links - only 12 minutes from Grand Canal. Beautifully clean and well maintained accommodation run by an elegant and friendly lady. More

We prefer to stay with local inhabitants rather than at neutral hotels when visiting abroad. This is a private home with some en-suite rooms to let, but decently separated. The proprietor is an amicable, helpful lady who looks after everything in person. Ideal place if you visit Venice, as the bus stops 50 meters from the Villa and commutes very... More
