Located on the third floor of a traditional Venetian building at Castello 4544, this hidden gem provides the perfect balance of accessibility and tranquility away from the bustling tourist centers. The Castello district, Venice’s largest sestiere, presents an authentic glimpse into Venetian life while remaining within comfortable walking distance to the city’s most celebrated landmarks. From this privileged position, guests can easily explore the nearby Arsenale, the expansive Giardini della Biennale, and the iconic St. Mark’s Square, all while experiencing the genuine character of residential Venice.

The exceptional 9.6 rating of Aquamare boutique b&b speaks volumes about the unparalleled guest experience it delivers. This nearly perfect score reflects the establishment’s unwavering commitment to personalized service, immaculate accommodations, and attention to the finest details. Each thoughtfully designed room at this boutique b&b embodies the essence of Venetian sophistication, likely featuring a harmonious blend of traditional Venetian elements with contemporary comforts. The elevated third-floor position not only ensures a peaceful stay above the street level but potentially affords captivating views across the terracotta rooftops and winding canals that make Venice so distinctive. The bed and breakfast concept is elevated to an art form at Aquamare, where the intimate scale allows for genuinely personalized attention that larger hotels simply cannot match. Morning breakfasts likely showcase the finest local ingredients, setting guests up perfectly for days of Venetian exploration.

What truly distinguishes Aquamare from other accommodations in Venice is its authentic positioning within the Castello district—an area beloved for its genuine Venetian atmosphere.

Here, guests can wander through quieter streets, discover neighborhood bacari (wine bars) serving authentic cicchetti, and observe the rhythm of daily Venetian life. The property’s boutique nature suggests a carefully curated experience where each element has been thoughtfully selected to enhance guest comfort and delight. From the moment of arrival at this four-star haven, visitors are welcomed into what feels like an exclusive Venetian residence rather than a conventional hotel.

  Fantastic location, very central to St Mark's Piazza, but tucked away in a quiet street, so very calm and peaceful. Wonderful, friendly hosts who recommended local sights and places to eat. Wonderful selection of breakfast foods, from eggs, to cereals and pastries. Beautiful roof terraces to enjoy a coffee or a spritz in the afternoon, and take in the magnificent views. Highly recommended, would love to visit again. Thank you for a wonderful stay 🙂

• Angela from United Kingdom – 26 February 2025 (10/10)

  What a lovely little B&B, in a great location. The property was traditional, with lovely features with the beamed ceiling and wooden shutters. It was spotlessly clean and nothing was to much for the hosts. From sending photos of how to find the property (we arrived on a night flight) to advice on sightseeing. Breakfast was plentiful with always the offer of more.
  We would definitely return.

• Αθανασιος from Greece – 10 December 2024 (10/10)

  Perfect room, Spotlessly clean facilities, Freshly made, served breakfast (to your preferences).
  Within 5-10 minutes on foot you can reach everything (most major landmarks, restaurants, bars, cicchetterias, shops)
  Easy access (2 minutes on foot) from S.Zacharias Alilaguna Station (arriving from / departing to airport).
  The description of the room and facilities was accurate in Booking, and we received clear instructions / guidance from Aquamare prior arrival.
  Last but not least, Luana and Margherita are excellent hosts and made our stay easier and more enjoyable (by suggesting routes, shortcuts, city-spots and restaurants, so we did not waste our time and avoided tourist-traps!)
  Luana e Margherita, ci vediamo la prossima volta a Venezia.

• Doğu from Turkey – 3 December 2024 (10/10)

  What could be improved: Everything was excellent.

• Aline from Brazil – 6 November 2024 (10/10)

  This place is a jewel. Perfect location, room was very very comfortable. There are two lovely terraces to have breakfast or simply relax watching Venice and drinking coffee or wine. Would definitely recommend. Marguerita was always very helpful and, since it was our first time in Venice, her tips were precious.

• Jussi from Finland – 29 October 2024 (10/10)

  Excellent location and nice roof terrace.

• Steven from United States – 27 October 2024 (10/10)

  Aquamare is very close to the San Zaccaria water bus/taxi stop. It is beautifully decorated and very comfortable and quiet with friendly, thoughtful hosts. The balcony and mini bar are nice amenities. Due to our schedule, we were only able to enjoy breakfast once, but it was delicious, personalized and graciously served. They are very open about the many stairs, but take it seriously if you are older or have any impairments. We were on the third floor, so the second floor is a little better.
  
  What could be improved: Just the stairs, especially with luggage, but it was totally expected.

• Clair from Belgium – 14 October 2024 (10/10)

  The location was perfect, the room was spotlessly clean. The beds were SO comfy and breakfast was amazing. Luana and Margherita were perfect hosts, and nothing was too much trouble for them.
  We will definitely return!
  
  What could be improved: Nothing!
