Beautiful spacious room, host was so helpful with recommendations for restaurants and attractions and even helped us find alternative transportation during a public transport strike. Would definitely stay here again if returning to Venice.

The location & size of the rooms were amazing & the host Giacomo was excellent. As soon as contact was established he did not stop helping, advising & assisting us with all or enquiries-very impressive
What could be improved: Absolutely nothing-Just couldn’t stay long enoughKaustubh from Switzerland – 10 November 2024 (10/10)
Indescribable …….. beyond AMAZING. This is a place to be in Venice. Location, silence and the owner…… he literally takes care of every minute detail. I stayed with my mother who is not very fit but he made sure that she is comfortable at all times….. from arrival till departure. We helped us with the private boat both ways to the train station….too. WiFi works very well and it’s like staying in a PALACE at the most affordable prices…… we strongly recommend it.
What could be improved: Everything was perfect.Nicole from United States – 4 November 2024 (10/10)
Host was very helpful, set up private boat taxi for when we got off the train. The room is beautiful in a great location. After weeks of traveling we always get excited when there is a bathtub, which this room has.
What could be improved: Slightly more expensive than others. This is considered to be one of the newer establishments according to the locals.Alexei from Russia – 4 November 2024 (10/10)
The location is superb and allows you to reach all sights in a very short time.
Giacomo is a great host and his advice on the restaurants were very helpful.
His attitude and attention helped us to enjoy our stay and made it comfortable.Natalia from Spain – 3 November 2024 (10/10)
