B&B Venice — Hotel in Venice

The location is ideal whether arriving Venice by air, rail or bus. We took the Alilaguna Orange Line from Marco Polo Airport to the San Stae ferry stop which is a stone's throw away from the B&B, no bridges to cross! To get to the Santa Lucia Train Station or Pizzale Roma bus terminal take Vaporetto Line1 and you will be there in a few minutes.||||This is not really a B&B per se since it doesn't provides any breakfast, it looks more like a room in an apartment one usally find in AirB&B. A welcome package of some biscuits, 2 buns and 2 small packs of orange juice are provided on arrival, plus some tea bags and a bottle of instant coffee that you won't want to drink in this land of Espresso! ||||The room is quite small with a mini kitchenette which has a fridge and microwave and a sink that doesn't works, so any washing will have to be done in the bathroom. A small foldable table is provided for dining but no cutlery are provided beside 2 mugs and wine glasses. No kettle is provided for "hygience" reason as posted on a piece of paper in the room which is laughable! Daily houskeeping is confined to just the room and setting of the bed, no washing of cups and changing of towels. No soap, shampoo or other toileries are provided and the exhaust fan in the bathroom is extremely loud, so don't turn it on in the middle of the night or everyone will be awaken!||||Wifi was accessible from the room but it requies checking in to facebook every now and then, quite annoying.||||Rialto Bridge is a short walk away and a little further on is St Mark Square, which can be reached also by Vaporetto abeilt a slow journey as it makes many stops along the Grand Canal. There are quite a few restaurants and bakery stores in the relatively quiet neighbourhood with a Coop supermarket nearby, and the Museum of Palazzo Mocenigo is right outside the B&B where you can buy the Museum Pass to skip the line at St Mark Square.||||Venice is always busy and needless to say lodgings are expensive including this little B&B, as we contemplated on whether to stay in Venice or across in Venice Mestre or even Padova for the same or lesser price in a regular hotel, but to save the trouble in commuting we opted for this B&B which could have provided a little more for the price that it charges in my opinion. ||||The owner Nicola is a friendly guy and helped with the luggage up the narrow stairs to the room. Overall it was nonetheless a pleasant stay for us with a roof over our head for a few nights soaking up the atmosphere of Venice at a very...

My family and I visited Venice for the first time in 2013 - a side trip during our 3-week stay in Croatia with my Dad's extended family. Since we were traveling with 3 pre-teenage children at the time, we wanted to expose them (and ourselves) to a "local" experience - a neighborhood where REAL Venetians live. I am pleased to say that we had the extremely good fortune to be referred to Nicola and his fantastic property! ||||Located only steps from the Grand Canal's San Stae Vaporetto stop, across the street from Palazzo Mocenigo (and its fantastic perfume museum), a 3 minute walk to Campo San Giacomo del Oro (and its handy Meijer bakery, fresh fruit market, and Bagolo restaurant - which is open late and filled with locals), and a 15-minute walk to San Marco's Square...this property is the PERFECT location from which to explore Venice! ||||I was so impressed by my 2013 experience that I called upon Nicola again this past summer (July 2015) when I returned to Venice to meet up with a friend. Again, he did not disappoint! The property was very clean, the sheets crisp and fresh, and the air conditioning worked great - a tremendous feat, considering the 100+-degree days in July! Not only was Nicola a gracious host during our stay, but he went way above and beyond the call of duty long after I returned home to the States...||||You see, in my enthusiasm to reconnect with family and friends in Volosko, Croatia - and my desire to catch the correct Vaporetto (I had taken an inadvertent 3-hour cruise out to Lido and back upon my arrival in Venice and was determined NOT to repeat history...) - I forgot ALL my souvenirs in my room at Nicola's B&B! Masks, Murano glass, etc. I was struck with horror when I realized my mistake...I was at a gas station in Kozina, Slovenia...approximately 2.5 hours after I drove out of the Tronchetto parking garage. ||||I immediately phoned Nicola and he agreed to ship the forgotten items to me. Looking back on that conversation, he must have thought I was a lunatic - but he remained positive and upbeat and assured me that he could help. I could not be more grateful to him (and to my husband for quickly sending money via PayPal to cover the postage)! ||||In short, I highly recommend this host and this location. I will DEFINITELY stay here again the next time I am lucky enough to...

My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights during our time in Venice. Although I had originally planned on staying in a hotel in Venice, almost everything in Venice was booked up due to the Venice Biennale. Luckily, I came across Bed and Breakfast Venice and was able to secure a room at a reasonable rate (for Venice). As other guests have written, it isn't so much a bed and breakfast as an Air BnB/apartment rental, since there is no breakfast provided. Although I was booked in for a 2-person room, Nicola ended up giving us the apartment at no extra charge. This was perfect as we had our own living space and kitchen with fridge, sink and stove. The COOP was only a 5 minute walk from the apartment, which made it easy to buy provisions for breakfast. Basics like coffee, salt, pepper, oil were available in the kitchen cupboards. This worked out quite well for us as we could make and eat breakfast in our own place before heading out for the day. The bathroom and shower were nicely done with ample space and no issues with water temperature or pressure. The bed was comfortable with extra blankets available in the wardrobe. As the apartment is ground level there can be some noise off the street from passerbys, but it's generally a quiet neighbourhood. We only had an issue one night when a Biennale party was held just a few houses down. We used ear plugs to block out the noise and managed to sleep just fine.||||The location is very convenient, literally 2 minutes walking from the San Stae stop if coming in by water taxi or the water airport shuttle (with no bridges!). If coming/leaving by the train station, it is a 10-15 minute walk with a number of bridges, but quite do-able. Depending on your route and pace, it's about 15-20 minutes to Rialto and another 15-20 minutes walk to San Marco. As part of the charm of Venice is wandering through the many alleys and canals, we didn't mind the walk. Nicola was also very helpful in providing a map, locations for local restaurants, and a recommended walking route to hit up the major sights.||||If you're looking for a more authentic, local experience in a quieter neighbourhood in Venice, I would definitely...
