Gorizia A La Valigia

"Lovely clean hotel. Staff on reception 24/7 so felt safe. And they were Very friendly staff! The staff at breakfast were so lovely! We had a early flight so when we got back to our room we saw a breakfast bag the hotel had made up for us which I thought was really sweet and kind!"

"This is a superb little hotel. Its location is perfect - quietly tucked away, yet in the middle of it all. The staff work hard at this hotel and our room was spotlessly clean. I absolutely recommend Hotel Gorizia. You can’t go wrong staying here."

"We stayed for 4 nights and really enjoyed our break. The hotel location is excellent, a few minutes from the orange line [ Rialto Stop). You can turn at the Co op and just carry on straight u. p the alley. It was a nightmare from the airport, no jet2 reps around to advise. We had to queue for the finger print check, but ththrough because no one told us otherwise we queued at all passports, but we didn't need to, you can go straight through. Once you have your tickets for the water bus, you have to go upstairs to get the water taxi ( again, no clear direction). The wait for the water bus is horrendously long ( we wa ited an hour and an half ) You can get an airport bus which is quicker and cheaper.,but not as scenic. I would recommend aNOT to buy tickets from Getyourguide for attractions as they are expensive and you can get tickets cheaper there. Also, be aware that Google maps do not take into account the ca. nals when navigating your way round. We loved our hotel, small and friendly, and lovely breakfasts. The rooms are very small, but lovely toiletries which are replenished daily. They brought us a kettle on request and extra pillows. The rooms were really warm though,apparently air condoning doesn't come on until June. There are some lovely restaurants around, but beware some have high cover charges. We really enjoyed the Accademia Gallery, well worth visit,and a lovely area. A visit to Munrano and Burano is a must. We got stopped by a guy from Venice Council who persuaded us to get in the free speedboat and go to 5murano glass factory. You are met off the bus by a guy from the glass fa£ctory and watching the workers blow the glass is amazing BUT the intention of the visit is to get you to buy something. UN Unless you are a millionaire it is beyond most peoples budget. You have to make your own way back from Munrano,but we had our boat tickets anyway ( not cheap at £50 for two). Venice is a beautiful city and I have asthma and limited mobility and found people very accommodating. Favourite restaurant Novo Antico Panif ( just over the rialto Bridge. We had Sea Bass which was carved at our table. Lovely vegetable Complimentary garlic bread. Doesn't look much from the outside, but a lovely traditional restaurant. Osterio de Nico ( homemade pasta ). Just before the hospital in a large sqare. And as for the ice cream ....l"
