Bed And Breakfast Ca' Turelli

Superb location in the quieter, more authentic feeling Dorsoduro neighborhood of Venice. Our host spoke only Italian, so communicating was a little tricky, but she was very kind and welcoming.

Anyone thinking of staying here should really know: this was the hardest, most uncomfortable bed I ever slept in. We ended up putting two blankets under the fitted sheet so that it wasn't so painful on my hips (I'm a side sleeper). The blankets helped a lot, but I would have reconsidered my stay if I knew just how cardboard-like the bed would feel.

The location was great, in a quiet spot while still close to the attractions and transport. The breakfast was the simple Italian style with sufficient variety. Although it was an old building, the accommodation was clean and comfortable. On the last night, we had dinner at Ristorante Montin which is a couple of doors down from the accommodation and it had a great atmosphere and food.

Although the host was friendly, it would have helped if they spoke English. The communication leading up to our arrival was fine as someone else must have been taking care of it, however, since arrival to departure, there was no one who could speak English. Nevertheless, we were able to communicate regarding the room and food, however, it would have been good to be able to discuss things to do, places to visit with the host. Also we had expected that it could have been possible for the host to arrange tours for us or at least have brochures and guide us.
