I stayed at Casa Gottardi on my last stop through Italy and it was one of the best B&B's I've been to during my trip. Susanna is a wonderful hostess - she provided me a map of Venice, restaurant suggestions and offered me tea/coffee/juice/cookies/water as soon as I arrived. The B&B was clean, spacious and warmly decorated - a 30 second walk to the Rialto Bridge and 10 minutes at the most to San Marco. Breakfast is just stupendous: a basket of warm baked goods with a croissant, jams, butter, fresh cappucino with foam, yogurt and a fresh fruit plate all on a tray brought to your room. Susanna was always available for any questions/suggestions and helped me navigate the vaporetto system and how to get to the airport. I would absolutely recommend to a friend and stay here again without question - exceptional.

This lovely B&B is very near the Rialto Bridge but on a quiet side street. Susanna and her staff are really friendly and accommodating. Rooms are clean and looked recently refurbished. Their refrigerator is loaded with bottled drinking water which guests can freely bring with them (very convenient since drinking water is expensive in Venice). My only "complaint" is the 3-story flight of stairs which can be cumbersome if you have a heavy luggage. Above average breakfast. Will definitely stay here again!

What sets Casa Gottardi completely apart from others is the hospitality shown by the hosts: Susanna, Eugenia and Giovanni. Our hosts could not be more friendly and welcoming. Upon arrival, we were welcomed with snacks, drinks and recommendations for restaurants. The breakfast is also generous with fruits, warm pastries, yogurts, juices and coffee. Each morning, we could not finish all of the food because there was so much!

The room was spotless and spacious. We stayed in the room pictured above (window on the left, 2 twin beds as well as bunk beds). The ensuite bathroom was also spacious with plenty of towels provided. The A/C was strong and quiet, providing relief from the heat. The B&B is also very quiet since there are only a few rooms.

The B&B is in a great location by the Rialto Bridge. This area tends to be less touristy (yet only a 10 min walk to Piazza San Marco) so the restaurants/shops are better value. Also, since its steps from the Rialto bridge, it was very easy to find, since there are signs everywhere pointing to Rialto bridge.

We loved staying here and we will definitely return on our next visit to Venice!

We had a wonderful stay in his B&B. The B&B was in an excellent location: right besides the Rialto Bridge, but in a quite back street. Our room had a king-size bed and a set of bunker beds. The room was spacious and very clean.

Susanna and her staff were super nice. Their breakfast was generous and delicious. They even organized all our clothes nicely in the closet.

Highly recommended!
