Finally, A B&B that matches its reviews!!
Really? Yes, We've stayed in many places in Europe & the US. All of the more recent ones have been influenced by TripAdvisor,until now none have ever matched both our and your (all of you!!) expectations.

This place is magical, It was easy to find as they now have photos of the major 'stumbling points' on their website.

The room was fantastic, it had just been refurbished and was immaculate. The staff were all friendly and helpful, but not over familiar. They recommended some great restaurants and got us onto already fully booked tours!

Will we be going back.....If we can get in, I was tempted to post a bad review to stop you all going!

Next time we'll be taking more people, The good new for all of us is they are looking at opening a 'full blown' hotel nearby. Thank you everyone at Locanda Orseolo for a wonderful time from a couple of travelling cynics. Rob & Natalie

Stayed at the Locanda Orseolo at the beginning of January and would echo what all the other reviews say. Location is perfect overlooking the small Orseolo Canal, just a very short walk from St Mark's Square through into a quiet courtyard. Breakfasts were excellent, service brilliant and good recommendations from the owners of places to visit etc. We were blessed with superb weather for the three days we were there - brilliant blue skies but freezing cold. I would certainly stay there again when I return to Venice.

This hotel is hidden away in a fantastic location that is within 5 mins walk of both St Mark's and the Rialto Bridge.

All the staff are friendly, polite and genuinely want you to enjoy your stay and to get the most out of their city. Other hoteliers in Venice and around the world should visit to learn about real 5 star customer service!

My husband and were thrilled to be able to stay eight days at this fabulous hotel from Dec. 18-26. Our original plan was to spend 2 or 3 days in 3 different cities but I feared after reading these reviews that we would regret having to leave this hotel after 2 nights. So we changed our plans and took the time to relax in this fabulous hotel and slowly explore Venice. It exceeded our expectations! It is as described by so many: gorgeous, friendly, accommodating, with a location which can't be beat for convenience and beauty. Matteo, Barbara, Francesco, Gigi....all went the extra mile to make Christmas a festive and meaningful occasion. When we returned from a delicious Christmas Eve dinner at Antico Doro (our personal favorite and one of many recommended by the staff) we were thrilled to find a little Christmas gift wrapped and on our bed. That little glass gondola ornament with Santa at the helm will always be one of our favorites.

The seafood in Venice is the best I've had anywhere with many thanks to the staff for all their recommendations. We met another "foodie" couple at the hotel and had a wonderful and fun dinner with them and would love to hear from them again (hint).

I still dream about those scrumptious breakfasts: delicious buffet spread including croissants, cakes, cereal, jams, grilled vegetables and tomatoes, sausages....who can remember it all? If that's not enough for you just order a lemon or chocolate crepe or omelette of your desire made well and lovingly by Matteo. The coffee was terrific but Barbara was always at your table immediately to see if you'd like a cappuccino. True bliss in the morning. And all served up in the intimate and beautifully decorated breakfast room with canal views.

Our room was plenty spacious, beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean, with deep bathtub (and separate shower) and never-ending hot water and equipped with decadent towel warmers. The lovely Murano glass chandeliers in the hotel inspired our own purchase of one on the island of Murano. We were aided with some advice by Gigi and both he and Matteo seemed truly interested in watching our little handycam "home movie" of our special purchase at the end of the day!

Matteo knows quite a bit about wine and we really enjoyed hearing his views and sampling from their impressive little wine list. We are still saving the bottle we left with for the perfect occasion. Maybe while we're planning our next trip!
