Villa Rosa

“Sound stay”

Clean, modernised room, friendly service, excellent location. Breakfast was basic - small selection, mediocre quality. OK coffee.

“A quiet little hotel hidden away yet a 2 minute walk to a busy thoroughfare.”

This hotel is a flat approx 400m walk from the main train station in Venice. You come out of the station, turn left walk along the Rio Tera Lista di Spagna, turn left into Calle de la Misericordia and it's on the first corner you come to. Alternatively you can catch the water bus from Marco Polo airport (32 euros return - the return ticket is good for 30 days from purchase, other wise it's 18 euros each way) get off at the Guglie ferry stop, turn right and walk down to cross over the Ponte della Guglie bridge (which has ramp sections so you don't have to carry your bags up and down steps) turn right again and follow the canal to the third street (Calle Riello Cannaregio) turn left and follow it all the way up to a T intersection where the hotel is on your right. Google maps will tell you to go through the park, which is a fraction shorter, but harder to pull your bags if they're on wheels due to gravel paths through the park. All staff were friendly and very helpful. Our room was spacious and comfortable and we had a nice balcony looking over surrounding gardens. It has aircon which was handy due to the 30-34 degrees temp when we were there. The walk up to the 2nd floor was a bit of a chore carrying our bags, but this is to be expected in a small hotel in Venice. The breakfast options were very good, and although there's a coffee pod machine in each bedroom, the machine in the breakfast room also had the capacity to add milk to your coffee and make tea. The bathrooms look like they've been recently renovated so they're clean and fresh. It was about a 25 minute walk to St Marks Square via the Rialto bridge, so pretty handy location. And having the Rio Tera Lista di Spagna just up around the corner is a bonus with many eateries, a spar supermarket and other shops all close by.
