There's plenty of things to see and do from this hotel if you prefer to stay local and away from the crowded area of Venice. This way you can have the full experience of staying in the locale Italy. The front desk clerks were all accommodating since they seemed to be aware that I don't speak the language. They were helpful and tried to speak in English to help me out. The room was spacious, clean & tastefully decorated, it's a little small, but perfect for my needs. This hotel is conveniently located on a bus route going to Venice where you can find bus and train routes/ stations and water bus. I highly recommend this place to stay if you want to have a home base while you're in Italy.

About 15 miles north west of Venice is the quaint town of Mirano, Italy (pronounced Mii-rano -…read moredon't say Mur-ano or Mer-ano, you'll end up on a small island - which is famous and definitely worth a visit, but not where you'll find this place). While the lure to stay on one of the Venice islands is strong, and if you book early and have the money and I'm sure it's amazing, however if you're looking to spend a bit less, and want some peace and tranquility for your holiday, I strongly recommend Mirano, and not just the town, but Villa Patriarca Boutique Hotel specifically. he Villa HP turned out to be everything it promised - and more. Not only did it benefit from the friendliest staff and locals we had met, but the prices were also much more reasonable than Venice and the food - amazing. My mornings consisted of a swim at 9am in their 25 yard pool. Followed by coffee & wifi connecting (free wifi!) to keep up to date with my digital life. Then back to spending a few hours in the pool before lunch and heading into Venice around 4pm - which in the summer, is perfect timing. Even during the busiest seasons, we weren't overwhelmed by tourists and could enjoy a meal as the sun sets - and what better time to see Venice than that. The pictures on the website don't alone do it justice. Highly recommended. Will go again.

Between the weak WiFi signal, lack of a 24-hour check-in and bait n' switch on a 24-hr gym (claimed…read moreto have it via E-mail but then rescinded this when we checked in) I'm not sure there is much reason to stay here other than the price. Rooms are small but beds are comfortable. Water pressure and temperature are good.

The bathroom was even smaller, I barely fit in the shower. The staff was extremely nice and breakfast was good. They do have a couple of laundry machines if needed/available. and there is not alot of choices to eat nearby, but there is a small neighborhood market just a short walk from the hotel over the bridge.
