Sarah is a very helpful delightful lady with a lovely mother as well. The room is generous and large, with classic features that speak well of another time. The overall impression we have of the environment is quite positive as the Dorsoduro area is peaceful, interesting and reasonably accessible.

There is a bit of confusion we don't quite understand. When we arrived there was a bottle of white wine in the refrigerator. We were the only guests at the time and sometimes people do leave such a lovely accommodation but we didn't wish to presume. The bottle was gone when other guests arrive. Did they take it, or did it belong to the owner or us? We'll never know.

The hot water was simply inadequate as both my wife and I -on separate days- had plenty for about a minute and then none to the point of almost immediate shocking cold. This is in our experience an experience we haven't had since as youngsters four decades of travel ago.

Finally, the facility is listed as Bed and Breakfast Dosoduro. When one so engages, quite logically the assumption is that breakfast is included. This was not the case. Something was stated about danger of fire in older buildings and we get the,t but we got no ticket or pass or whatever to a local place for our breakfast.

It's a little disingenuous to advertise as a bed and breakfast and offer none when it is logical that it presumes inclusion for the price. The name should be changed in all fairness to clients.
