Please note up front that this is NOT a hotel and is a private residence (renting a room). My wife and I drove over an hour from the airport trying to find the “hotel”. Once we arrived we realized it was not a hotel but a private residence that is renting out rooms. The front porch light was left on and digital code directions provided for entering the residence. Unloading and entering the residence, BEWARE please note there is NO elevator. The room is on the third floor, therefore struggles to go up three flights of stairs with luggage was a major challenge for my wife and myself. The room was average, we weren’t able to control air conditioning settings, nor the volume of the one television. There was one queen bed and one twin bed in the room. Nothing fancy, but certainly disappointed in the misrepresentation of the room/overall location. Travel to and from was not as advertised and difficult to navigate. Would not recommend, would not return. Do your research before booking this location

We stayed at Dream the night before leaving for the airport. The staff was amazing. They called the taxi company for us to arrange a taxi to come pick us up and take us to the airport at 3:15 am. They also called a nearby restaurant to order us dinner. Overall we were very impressed with the helpful staff & this hotel ended up being the perfect place for us to stay since we just needed a place to sleep one night before heading to the airport. If you are hoping to stay in Venice though, I would definitely recommend staying on the island, as it would be difficult to get there everyday from this hotel.
Response from Alla on 24 Jun 2023
Thank you for your great feedback. Actually it's not difficult to reach island, like you think. We use a normal public transportation with 1.50 euro/pers. And it takes about 20-25 min. You can reach it also in 15 min about by taxi. Stay in mainland can be absolutely more cheaper than stay on the island (you can move both direction by taxi, have a dinner and probably lunch with same price), but this is a personal preference.

We used Expedia to book this place, the images shown on the website looked good and it gave the appearance of being a nice hotel near Venice. It was late and we contacted the hotel with the intention of getting directions or some kind of explanation on how to reach their place. Upon arrival, we discovered the place was not exactly as advertised; it was not a hotel, but a guesthouse in the middle of nowhere. The house had no elevators, so taking our bags to the room on the third floor would’ve been extremely difficult, considering we are a family of five. Entering the room, we were greeted with a strong and obtrusive smell of disinfectant, a smell that made it nearly impossible for someone to spend the night there. This, the checkout time of 10:00 AM, and the lack of elevators, meant great difficulty for us to stay there. Since the owner only spoke Italian, we talked to his wife (or assistant), and she told us not to worry, she understood the place was not suitable for us. She said we could leave even-minded and she would contact Expedia to make sure we got our money back, cancelling any charges done to our card. This did not happen, since the next day, when we sent a message, they replied saying there would be no cancelation and they refused to give the money back. This was NOT my first time using Expedia and in previous occasions, when a mistake was made, it had been very easy for the hosts to cancel the reservation and make a refund. I don’t think it’s wrong to say they foo

si è vero, il sig r ruenda ricardo ha prenotato da noi una camera familiare tramite expedia, si è presentato alle 23:00 dicendo che aveva sbagliato posto, perché lui voleva prenotare un hotel 3 stelle e non un B&B, ha chiesto che noi gli dovevamo restituire i soldi che lui ha pagato ad expedia, e gli abbiamo detto la verità, che lui qui non ha pagato NULLA a noi, ha pagato expedia una prenotazione non rimborsabile, ci siamo offerti nel contattare expedia appena possibile e chiedere se expedia tornerà a questo cliente quanto pagato, purtroppo expedia non lo fa. il sigr ruenda si confidò dicendo che lui non è nuovo per queste situazioni, in quanto l'anno scorso prenotò un hotel in canada e poi fini in america in una cittadina omonima ed il gestore dell'hotel sbagliato gli restituì l'importo. il signore comunque ha visto la camera entrandovi con la sua famiglia ed ha trovato una scusa, che l'odore dei profumi dei detergenti usati per fare le pulizie non sono di gradimento per la sua famiglia, dichiarando che la camera riservata per lui è pure troppo pulita, desiderava una camera meno pulita ma con l'ascensore, perché tiene molte valige (3 o 4 e modeste altrimenti in una piccola utilitaria 5 persone non ci possono stare), qui l'ascensore non c'è, (per i 2 piani della struttura non è necessario). si confidò che il posto per lui era bellissimo, la struttura pure, ma lui era abituato a girare solo negli hotel, infine ci disse che per rimanere in questa camera doveva fare il check out il giorno dopo molto tardi, perché lui e la sua famiglia hanno fatto un lungo viaggio ed a mezzanotte stavano ancora chiacchierando con noi in reception per farsene una ragione, perciò doveva andarsene solo 10 ore dopo, la sua pretesa era di andarsene quando voleva, il che non è possibile in quanto il giorno dopo i nuovi clienti pretendono di trovare la camera prenotata riass

Absolutely amazing
I cannot rate this B&B highly enough. It was so modern (we were given an electronic swipe card that allowed us to open the main gate, the front door (so we could come and go as we pleased) and our room. Due to our prebooked accommodation falling through when we arrived in Italy we had to find places to stay last minute and we stayed in some awful accommodation but this one absolutely lived up to it's name - it was a dream. Our room was HUGE with 4 beds, fridge, a balcony bigger than some of the rooms we stayed in, air con and THE BEST SHOWER EVER! It had jets, and disco lights and a built in radio and this may sound like nothing, but in some of the other places we stayed we wouldn't even use the bathroom because it was horrible. I had two showers in one evening just because it was so relaxing! On arriving we were welcomed by a lady who was THE NICEST PERSON EVER and gave us maps, and recommended a restaurant (food was amazing) and gave us directions to it as well as giving us bus time tables and all the info we needed to get to Venice the next day. This B&B (much more like a hotel) clearly tries extremely hard to please their guests (all sorts of breakfasts, take away, eat in, room service) and we cannot rate it highly enough. It was safe, secure and we felt like we'd won the lottery when we found this place!

Nice, quiet place to stay.
This was a get away trip to Venice, hotel was very close to to hotel off the beaten path in a quiet neighborhood. The place is clean, quiet and very comfortable. Family owned business with whom we enjoyed and very helpful in sightseeing, getting around and places to eat. Our room was clean, very comfortable and clean, boarding on new. Plenty of space for two people for a week. Unlike most B & B, use of the grounds as part of the stay is encouraged and the all of the places around the B & B where we went to eat were just as nice with friendly local folks. If you do not mind staying away from tourist areas but close to the airport we highly recommend a stay here. You will not be disappointed.

Not to bad,
10 min to airport, 20 min to Venice by bus. Only complaints, WI Fi was terrible, would not even mention it if I was them. Also had to pay extra for AC in the middle of August ( not very happy). Had to pay 5 Euros per person for breakfast, then they took everything away in the morning, fine, take away the coffee maker, but Milk and Juice that was opened is going a bit far.

Great place to dine and see Venice
The B&B was wonderful, the reception was very friendly and helpful, the room (and we were 2 adults and 3 teenagers) was perfect for us, clean and spacious, we had a wonderful time, my only regret was that we didn't opt for the breakfast when we booked, it sounded wonderful when the owner described it. The place is really convenient to Venice, a 5 minute walk and a 20 minute bus-ride, and you're in Venice, no parking worries, no traffic. Just make sure to get the buses right, but they give you all the info you need at the B&B. I also recommend the nearby restaurants (pointed out by the B&B) , Pizzeria al Granso, which had a great selection of local and Italian dishes at a very good price, and especially Ristorante Canaletto, which had some of the best Italian fish, especially local dishes like cuttlefish, I have ever eaten.

Hot room, air con is extra, poor WiFi, no coffee m
We arrived just before 11pm and had called to make sure they knew we were on our way. It was a hot summer day and although the staff vented the room for us, it was not enough to cool the room. We were in room 21 and the balcony promised on the confirmation material was fitted with two static warm air blowers! I stood on the balcony with warm air blowing at me that I can't control. That same warm air went in through the bathroom window and the french doors leading to the room. We had to shut both and relied on one opened window. Reception was closed.:(. The air conditioning was at an extra charge!! There is nothing on the website to say air conditioning was at a surcharge, like the breakfast. There was no coffee maker as stated on confirmation, the WiFi never worked, I tried twice and had to go downstairs to confirm the network. My whole family were very disappointed at this stay. Don't say B&B and charge extra for everything including breakfast. The place was clean but no other redeeming aspect for us.

Close to Venice Marco Polo Airport
We had a 7am flight, so we chose this B&B for its proximity to the airport and the available shuttle. It is located in a charming suburban neighborhood quite different from the touristy spots in Venice! The room was modern and clean, and accommodated our family of 5 comfortably. An in-room self-service breakfast is provided, although Italian laws understandably require such self-service breakfast items to be in individually sealed packages (so no "fresh" pastries from the local bakery). The owners and their children were all delightful and very helpful in arranging the shuttle (driven by the father) and providing local restaurant recommendations. The only very minor downsides were the rule not to use the hairdryer before 8am, and the somewhat noisy pump in the bathroom. But the benefits, ease and comfort of staying here far outweighed those minor issues!

Bed and Breakfast Dream:Clean, Cool and Conveninet
We slept our best night in a week of European travel at the Bed and Breakfast Dream. We were looking for a place to stay for just one night, close to the airport. It was close, but not walking distance. Located in the Dese neighborhood, a few miles away, and it was well served by public transportation, close but not walking distance. We elected to have them pick us up and bring us back the following morning, for much less than the cost of a taxi. The room in which we stayed (my wife and two teenage daughters) was immaculately clean. The building was quite new, and nicely appointed. The breakfast was a conteninental plus, with a lot to choose from already in the room. The big Lavazza espresso machine took a bit of practice, before I could get a good cup of coffee, but I needed the caffeine, so it really wasn't a problem. Because it was our last night of our vacation, my wife wanted to go into Venice for supper. Our host gave us easy to follow instruction for taking the bus into Venice (at 1.3 Euro per person, instead of 150 Euro round trip by taxi!). We traveled through several neighborhoods that are not part of a typical tour, greatly enhancing our experience. We, we made it into Venice (P. le Roma) in about 45 minutes on an airconditioned bus. BTW, it was 92 degrees F (about 33+C). AC in our room cost a little extra, but it was well worth it. The host's courtesy, great beds and convenience exceeded our expectations. We'd definitely stay with them again.

Very nice staff and great bedroom
Looks like a brand new building with a very comfortable bedroom - it even has internet connection in the bedrooms (you will need a cable). It feels a bit remote since it's essentially impossible to walk to busier areas (the place is mostly surrounded by highways) but the bus stop is very convenient and the staff extremely helpful on giving you directions to Venice. It takes only 20 to 40 minutes to get there depending on which bus you take. You might have to plan well on Sundays and holidays since buses come only at every hour, but they seem to run on time, have air conditioned and are very cheap. Marco Polo Airport is about 10 minutes away.
