My wife & I stayed at the B&B on September 14th & 15th. Francesco was a great host and the location was perfect. It was our first trip to Italy and our first 2 nights. Staying in a neighborhood location with children playing outside just added to the experience. It was a short walk to the Guggenheim and i would... More

I stayed at this delightful BnB in Oct 2011....after travelling around Italy and having just come from from a dreadful hotel in Florence I was sceptical about what I was going to find at Dorsoduro 461....after the initial WOW Im in Venice moment. I took off, map in hand to find 461....the map was easy to follow....may have been a... More

We stayed two nights at this B & B while visiting Venice. Just 5 minutes from the Guggenheim, this is a quiet spot away from the hustle and noise of other Venice areas. It really felt like we were in a neighborhood of "real" people- kids playing soccer, a man shooting hoops, two women talking across the way from their... More

We went there on our honeymoon and were rewarded by Silvia and Francesco's warm hospitality and good humour. It's a lovely spot away from the tourist crowds with many good restaurants within walking distance. Francesco's breakfasts were excellent with home-made pancakes and other goodies. It's close to a Valparetto stop, but make sure you have a decent map as it... More

My husband & I stayed at B&B Dorsoduro 461 in mid September 2011. This was our first time in Venice, and since we only had one night to spend there, we thought we should splurge a little bit for a room by the Grand Canal/Rialto bridge. After all, the canal is what makes Venice so appealing! Alas, we could find... More

I am so glad I found this B&B! In this lovely B&B you feel like you have your little Venetian spot close enough to be a few minutes from the main attractions (Piazza San Marco, Accademia, Rialto) and far enough from the absurdly crowded tourists areas of Venice. The B&B is located in a quiet, residential area of Dorsoduro (Accademia... More

I stayed at Dorsoduro 461 for 5 nights in May and was totally satisfied with the accommodations, the location, the hosts, the food - everything. Francisco was a delight, always helpful and a great cook. I looked forward to reakfast every morning. Silvia was out of town while I was there so I only got to meet her briefly, but... More

Origianlly we found this accommodation on Tripadvisor and were assured by the reviews that it would probably meet our expectations. We were not disappointed. From making the booking the owners were communicative and welcoming. The location on Dorsoduro could not be more central, yet tucked away in a quiet corner, where local families live. Francesco and Sylvia were excellent hosts... More

We could not have asked for a better B&B situation for our first trip to Venice. Our goal was to find a B&B that felt like it was really a part of the neighborhood, and we found just that at Dorsoduro 461! Francesco and Sylvia were fantastic hosts (ask them about their fascinating restoration work!) and were very easy to... More
