It was absolutely perfect for me and my little daughter! Actually I don't know where to start. Quickly and totally friendly and really exerted! Carlo showed us in the rain with the umbrella the next market and waited for us until I was finished, there was information about Padua prepared in the room, it's no problem to walk to the center (even with children), we really had everything we needed! Thanks a lot!

I stayed at B&B Santa Sofia with my mother, and we both loved it. The room was nice and had everything we needed, including a perfectly working air-conditioner (it was August when we were there). The bathroom is shared, but with only two rooms, this wasn’t a problem at all. The house was perfectly located, and we could walk to everything. Breakfast was lovely and varied. Carlo was the most accommodating and friendly host you can imagine. On the morning we had to leave, he got up at 4:30 to make us breakfast even though we told him he didn’t have to. So nice.

My stay here was brilliant. Carlo and his wife were very welcoming and attentive to anything I needed. They were very helpful when asked for recommendations of what to see in the area. The room was great, very clean and well designed/furnished. The aircon was fantastic after staying in a not so nice hotel nearer the train station. I would highly recommend a stay here, great value and great hosts! I couldn't believe they had just started running the B&B at the beginning of the year! All the best for the future!

Everything is very clean and tidy. The street is quite busy during the day, but in the evening it is quiet. For those needing an overnight stay in the Portello area, it is the TOP.

The structure is clean and comfortable, very central and convenient for reaching any point of interest in the city. The manager was kind and attentive, he had warned us that there would be no breakfast, but it would be correct to remove the alternative from the online selection to avoid confusion. Furthermore, he did not accept payment by card, claiming not to have a card reader, which was not a problem for us, but I don't think this is regular. One last note: in the description, it mentions 'bathroom outside the room' while it is more precisely 'bathroom shared with another room' and it should be clear from the start. This inaccuracy lowers my rating of the structure.

I am writing this review after about two years, unfortunately I cannot specify 2016 because the system does not allow me to. The property is in a great location, you can reach all the places of interest: in my case, the hospital in Via Giustiniani. The owners, Mr. Rosso, and his spouse are two splendid people, unique for their kindness and availability, always attentive to the customer's needs. The rooms and bathroom are always clean and tidy, and the fact that the latter is shared does not cause any inconvenience. I will definitely come back, also to personally thank Mr. Rosso again for his great availability and his big heart, a truly exceptional person.

The two rooms are comfortable and welcoming, equipped with all the necessary furniture, as well as a television and wi-fi connection; the bathroom, spacious and well-furnished, has a shower cubicle. The breakfast, abundant and varied, is provided upon request by the manager, although I did not partake.

The owners are very kind! Carlo is an excellent host, caring and helpful. He provided me with everything I needed, including encouragement at breakfast on my very first day at work. Two nights without any problems. My boyfriend and I had a fantastic weekend! Located at the beginning of Via Belzoni, it is just a short walk from the center. Rooms and bathrooms are clean and fragrant, abundant breakfast with plenty of options. Excellent quality/price ratio. Thank you, Carlo!
