Great waterfront view!
Provided the fact that the city of Venice is completely walkable, this location has the advantage of staying a bit off the crowd and still gives us easy access to almost everything, including beautiful waterfront view from the breakfast room and our unit. The owner Giovanni was extremely helpful and provided us with many information about the local community and resources.

Absolute amazing place in a wonderful location. Staff is amazing and the breakfast is absolutely delicious. Starts at 8.30am which was a bit late for me, but there is also a coffee shop with fresh pastry and amazing coffee in the same building and they open at 7.00am.

Check-in was challenging, and the first room we got was little more than a closet, and the AC did not work. However Giovani was VERY kind and gracious, and moved us to another slightly larger room for the rest of our stay. Breakfast was good, and the staff was very helpfuls and friendly. FANTASTIC LOCATION!

Friendly clean and tidy b&b
We arrived late for our checkin however we received clear instructions as to how we can get into our room, which was clean and tidy. The next morning we had a lovely breakfast and had a lovely chat with the owner, he gave us great advice and it was such a warm welcome. Only thing that could be improved was the shower, but everything else was lovely.

Safety concerns
Some serious safety concerns here. Only one set of keys provided. My son went out for a walk, and there was no way for me to open the door from the inside. When he did not return on time it caused a panic situation. Check in was also not as described as we were informed there would be an envelope left inside with keys, but was not there. We tried phoning multiple times with no response and then ended up going up the stairs to find the cleaner who was able to help us and who I must say was extremely friendly. That was the one good thing. Also some electrical outlets need covers and get in early if you want a warm shower. Other than that the location was good, rooms give that authentic experience.

Very nice hotel, in a nice spot
Very good location, on the waterfront with a beautiful view from the breakfast room. Less than 10 mins from St Mark’s, but outside of the major tourist foot-fall which made it feel a little calmer! The room was clean and well-cared for. Only slight issue would be that the hotel is not staffed after certain hours (we arrived at 7:30pm) and it would have been nice to have been greeted instead of having to figure out for ourselves which room was ours, and which floor to go to etc...

Excellent location, good continental breakfast, helpful staff. Note: If you need to check in after 17:30 you will need to ask for the key to be left for you. If you have trouble with stairs there is no lift. We stayed in P3 at the back which was large and quiet with extra beds for family if required. We were upgraded to A2 at the front after 2 days as it was available, excellent view slightly more noise but nothing bad, better bathroom.

The property redirected us to another property because of a technical issue. No further explanation given. The property seemed to be “open” as the ocean view suites’ windows were open and looked occupied. We were looking forward to our ocean view suite! We were left feeling we had been scammed.

Beautiful venue and views but painful stairs
The pros: Very nice wuiet location, with fantastic Grand Canal view. Room was beautiful, clean and well stocked. Breakfast was delicious. Cons: no front desk except in the morning, host not the friendliest. BB is located on the 3rd floor with no elevator and entering the building for the first time was hard since the door code was not provided. Thanks God for one of the guys from the restaurant next door that knew it and let us in. Internet was hard to get a good connection, sometimes wouldn't work from the room, tried calling the phone provided for questions during stay and no one ever responded. Unimpressed by service, needs to improve .

As noted- no after-hours front desk (which we knew and expected). Wifi did not work the whole time we were there. Room was stuffy and mattresses were not comfortable at all. We ended up eating the cost of the 2nd night and staying at another hotel. Breakfast and staff serving were super friendly.

Dear Guest, as you can immagine is impossible that the wi-fi was not working with all the house fully booked, maybe was your problem. You are the only one wrote that the bed was not confortable.......

Excellent breakfast and cappuccino machine in the room. Very helpful, pleasant people running everything efficiently and professionally. Liked the email a couple days before our arrival with information for entering after hours. That was reassuring to know they were expecting us and our reservations were confirmed.

A nice, clean and unique bed and breakfast located within a few feet of the Maritime museum and located on the southeast part of the island where it's less congested and busy. A two minute walk to the water bus and an easy walk to the heart of Venice. The outside of the property doesn't look very appealing, but the inside was very nice. We had a two bedroom apartment that was clean and efficient. Our deal also included a very nice breakfast overlooking the sea. There's plenty of value in this property.

Perfect location with views overlooking the grand canal, and near to shops, cafes, restaurants and local bars. Only short walk to St Marks Square and major sites. Our suite was a lovely spacious room full of old features with a large bathroom. Breakfast was tasty and fresh. Staff very friendly and helpful.
