Dafne B&B

My wife and I stayed in the Dafne B&B for four nights and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The host was very friendly and very helpful and responded very promptly to our messages prior to arrival. For those arriving by train, the B&B is very convenient and only 10 minutes walk from the station. The host gave directions before we arrived. However, when you descend the stairs from the station platform to the station subway, do not go to the main entrance and up the stairs – go in the opposite direction and follow her instructions. The house has a separate entrance for guests at the side of the house. We had the room with an external bathroom. This was not a problem for us – and was much cheaper than an ensuite room and very convenient. The booking website made it quite clear that there was an external bathroom so there should be no misunderstanding or incorrect expectation. The bedroom was small and most of room was taken up by an amazing, extra-large and very comfortable bed. I am 6’4” and I could stretch out – a rare luxury! Again, the small room was no problem for us, after all, who wants to spend a lot of time in the room when you are in such an interesting and beautiful area! The bathroom was very spacious and had a great shower. The bedroom, bathroom and other parts of the house were spotlessly clean. Breakfast was taken in the dining room – a very good selection of cereals, bread, meats, cheese, boiled eggs, croissants and jam and tea and coffee. It filled us up very nicely to set up a busy day visiting the sights. The host always came and had a little chat and gave advice about where to go. The dining room had a kitchenette where you can make coffee and tea etc at times other than breakfast. There was also a nice terrace outside the dining room which would be very nice in summer. In the dining room were also two very comfortable sofas – this made up for the lack of sitting space in the room – and was a pleasant space to sit, read and drink coffee. Treviso is an excellent base to explore places such as Venice and Padua – and the Dafne B&B is the perfect location for travelling to these places by train. The town centre is only a 15-20 minutes walk from the B&B. We would highly recommend the Dafne B&B as a place to stay if you wish to explore Venice and the surrounding areas. We felt very relaxed there and the host was excellent and friendly.
