Three things of note: 1. Location is great: 5' from train station and short walk to water taxi. 2. Breakfast an embarrassment of riches: almost too much! 3. Alessandro (proprietor) an outstanding host. He will direct you to the unseen/unknown (by tourists) spots. Ask him about bar hopping near the fish market.
This B&B was a highlight of my vacation, private and also very convenient to a main street with restaurants and shops. Alessandro offers a variety of delicious things for breakfast, and great suggestions for the day. As a native Venetian he is very knowledgeable, and also friendly and genuinely interested in his guests. The room was clean and comfy. For Americans, their 2nd floor is what we would call the 3rd floor, two flights up a wide staircase. The availability of loaner boots (and umbrellas) was very helpful. Parts of Venice are flooded at high tide this time of year, and while vendors sell knee-high plastic shoe covers, nothing beats a decent pair of boots. I highly recommend Venice-BB-Venezia and would definitely stay there again!
Alessandro was a wonderful host, giving us a brief overview of the city with tips for where to eat and advice on some of the tourist haunts we wanted to visit. I'm struggling to think of a better B&B (home cooked Ventian) breakfast in our travels, we never got through it all, despite trying our hardest! The conversation over breakfast was wonderful. We would not hesitate to stay here again when we next get a chance to visit Venice. Thanks again Alessandro. Some practical points:- (only) a good 10 minute walk from the train station, a couple of sets of stairs but not too bad, no card service so you'll need cash.
Live like a Venetian with a true Venetian host. Close to the train station but you will need to follow the instructions to find it. The host Allossandro provided us with great recommendations for restaurants that the locals use, and which water bus to catch for different destinations. The breakfast was amazing as was the host’s stories and attentiveness. Not a 5 star hotel but I give it a 5 star recommendation.
Impeccably clean, wonderful attention to detail, amazing breakfast, chatty and convivial hosting, local knowledge, well located, quiet overnight - definitely stay here if you can! Absolutely awesome base for a few days in Venice.
