A superb homely guesthouse with a very welcoming and helpful owner and staff. Our room was very spacious, airy, and clean and the bathroom was very good. The location was excellent with a vaporetta stop close by on the Grand Canal, an interesting, easy walk from the station, and easy walking distance to all major tourist sites. |

The host Stacy, her husband and her assistant Sonja as well as the staff in the nearby restauant La Colombina are extremely friendly and helpful. The B&B is charming and romantic. The honesty bar is a great thing. |

The hosts (Stacey and Dominico) were excellent! They provided lots of tips about Venice and were most amiable during the afternoon to talk with. We will stay with them again. |

Quiet, somewhat hidden location close to the trail leading to the main attractions. Friendly and secure atmosphere. Boat stop nearby. Outside breakfast area is nice, but self-service and you're expected to clean your dishes afterwards. |

The owner is extremely helpful and friendly. The location was tricky to find but it was in a great location. The directions provided were pretty good and helped to find it. The room was very clean and pretty big in European standards. The bed in the room was very uncomfortable..there were no springs left in the bed it felt like. The bathroom was a little tight but manageable. Overall I was satisfied with the place. |

Good location Buffet breakfast is essentially a loaf of bread you cut and put in the toaster. Then make your own coffee & wash your things up afterwards!No hair dryer.Very noisy electric water pump for the shower and toilet in the room. |

Stacey was so helpful in her recommendation & suggestions of things to do while in Venice. Venice has lost some of it's charm that I remembered from my first visit over 20 years ago, but the warmth & hospitality at Al Portico made up for the multitudes of vendors & street kiosks. The courtyard with it's "honor system" of morning foods & beverage was a wonderful start to each day. |

This was a unique experience.As B&B rather than a hotel, you make your own breakfast from supplies provided by the owner and wash up afterwards.You get to meet the other guests and you stay in an authentic Venetian house.Stacy, the owner, is wonderful, as is Sonja her helper and Stacy's husband Domenico is a world-class chef. The food in their restaurant next door is not to be missed. |

The staff were extremely friendly. The welcomed us late on Friday night with complimentary wine and beer in the restaurant. Breakfast wasn't very appealing. |

a wonderful personal welcome, friendly and homely. Our host was a wealth of information on Venice and offered great advice on places to go to escape the crowds. The rooms were gorgeous very simple in decor and we were surrounded by our host's wonderful artwork. We also enjoyed the self-service system and being able to relax in the courtyard at any time of day. |

Stacy is wonderful! The courtyard at the hotel is a perfect gathering area. It is so quaint and beautiful! It really is unique to Italian buildings. The rooms are lovely. |
