Location
-
Beautifully designed and decorated rooms. Breakfast was quite good with fresh croissants, coffee and eggs. Wonderful host and staff. Alessandra took time to explain the places of interest in Venice.

The stairs. Lol.
-
From the start we received an email with very specific instructions, the location was amazing, had a great downstairs area and the room was great.
-
The location is amazing. Right on the grand canal, close to everything. They were so accommodating and gave us such great recommendations. Nothing, it was lovely through and through.
-
Everything was perfect, exactly what I would expect from a Venice hotel. The place, the building, the styled room, the amazing friendly staff. We enjoyed our stay at its best.

Perfect location.

Alessandra and the staff are so welcoming and warm! They happily accommodated my son's food allergies for the plentiful breakfast each morning (included) which we all enjoyed. Alessandra's guided tour provided an excellent historic overview and intriguing legends, we learned so much about this beautiful city! The room was lavishly decorated with period antiques and Murano glass. Everything was spotlessly clean throughout. The location was very central, just 10 minutes walk to St. Mark's, but in a quiet spot just off the beaten path. We look forward to coming back again!

The host was absolutely lovely and very helpful! We conversed beforehand and she answered all of my questions promptly. Upon arrival, she gave us info about Venice restaurants and other recommendations that helped make the most of our short 2-day stay. She also served us a delicious breakfast and offered to pack us a take-away breakfast for our final early morning to the airport.

Great location with grand canal right there. Clean room but little small. Great staff, very accommodating even making us a breakfast to keep in refrigerator for next morning since would be leaving. Alessandria was wonderful. Small rooms and bathrooms very small.

The location was perfect for exploring the various neighborhoods of Venice. The property was clean & well maintained. Alessandra was prompt to answer any questions we had prior to our stay. She also provided excellent, detailed directions on how to find the property from the train station. Upon arrival, we were greeted & given a tour of the breakfast area & our accommodations. This was followed by a helpful conversation regarding navigating the city as well as several suggestions for dining. We highly recommend Antico Gatoleto for their salads & pizzas. The breakfast room overlooked the canal & provided a delightful atmosphere while enjoying our meal. Alessandra & her staff were readily available to assist us in anyway during our stay & truly made us feel pampered!

Alexandra was a gracious and informative hostess. The property was tucked away, cozy and quiet. The room was uniquely decorated, relaxing and the pier on grand canal offered great views. Tight bathroom space. But understandly, this is a historical place and it worked. The check in staff was not nearly as helpful or easy to understand as Alessandra, who was exceptional.

Nice view of a public dock for breakfast. Watching deliveries come in by boat was interesting as they all jockey for position. No disputes but am sure there are issues from time to time. Right in the middle of most everything. Whether you want to go to Murano or Burano, see St Marks or just immerse yourself in Venetian life, Scalon de doge is in the middle of it all. Allisandra is very knowledgeable and not only your hostess but the architect of your stay. Her insights to the entire area were also onz I won’t say there was really anything we didn’t like, but if there was one thing that could help improve the stay it would have been to have the quest common area open all day. It is a beautiful setting and if you have to work online at all, there is no better place than that area.

The location was central to major sites and the staff was readily available. The personalized breakfast was an extra treat with a great view.
-
We had a late check in due to travel, she went over and above what she needed to do to accommodate, a wealth of knowledge for the area with great advice!
-
Excellent stay at Scalon del Doge. The location is fantastic, central, yet quiet and convenient to everything. Breakfast was great with a good selection and a nice start to the day. Overall, a very comfortable and enjoyable experience. I would definitely stay here again
-
Unique experience, great customer service, very attentive, extremely clean and comfortable. We will definitely be back in the future. Nothing

Scalone de Doge is a small B&B with an authentic old-world Venetian style. Our hostess, Alessandra, was extremely communicative leading up to and during our stay. She provided very clear instructions on the location and how to get there, and even assisted with the steps to obtain an exemption from the Venetian tourist tax. The location was very central and a short walk to St. Mark's Square. Breakfast was offered daily, in their breakfast room with a beautiful view of the Grand Canal. There were options to fit everyone's tastes. We took Alessandra's "Secret Life of Venetians" tour, which put a new light on how Venetians live (both past and present), as well as the extensive history and new appreciation and understanding of the rich culture, history, and art that can be seen just walking through the city. Highly recommend this if you're staying with her. Alessandra is extremely passionate about the B&B, the city, and sharing it with you. Our room overlooked one of the canals, and it was fun to hear the tourists coming through all through the day and night. The staff went over a map of Venice upon arrival and provided us with a list of recommended restaurants to help us avoid the tourist traps. This is not the hotel's or Alessandra's fault. It was Easter weekend, so the city itself was packed full of tourists and very overwhelming. Accommodations in general are on the smaller side in Venice, and we found it challenging to deal with our obnoxious, oversized (American) luggage (three pieces) within the room. It also wasn't very fun to get it up and down the grand staircase leading up to the B&B.
