Reviews

  Amazing location, great breakfast.

• Peterová from Czech Republic – 29 October 2024 (9/10)

  The place was very lovely and romantic. It was calm and beautiful. The personnel helped us with everything also, thank you. And Thank you
  
  What could be improved: The bathroom wasn’t perfect and walls are little bit scratched but we did not mind, everything around was just amazing.

• Paul from United Kingdom – 25 September 2024 (8/10)

  The room was clean, excellent lift since my wife is disabled, the food excellent the only downer was using long life milk in the coffee machines, made the coffee undrinkable,
  
  What could be improved: The coffee machine and the drinks machine that robbed of E1. They could offer shampoo for the rooms, and proper soap bars.

• Suzanne from United Kingdom – 23 September 2024 (9/10)

  Ideally situated just 10 mins off San Zaccaria water stop close to St Marks Square. Lovely island setting and lots of history busier than expected but not invasive a true hidden gem
  
  What could be improved: The single bed was quite small but for a solo traveller it was suitable.

• Carrie from China – 5 September 2024 (9/10)

  This tiny island, just 2 km from Venice's city center, offers a unique and peaceful escape. It's connected by the No. 20 ferry line, which runs only two ferries per hour, making it feel even more secluded.
  
  The island has just one hotel, one campus, one small museum, one restaurant, and one café—all of which share spaces in a charming and quirky way. One moment, you're walking through the hotel, and the next, you find yourself on campus, which adds a fun and unexpected twist to the experience.
  
  What could be improved: The room was comfortable, though the bed and shower were on the smaller side. The island is lush with plants, which adds to its beauty, but also attracts quite a few insects, so beware of the mosquitos—they were relentless during my stay.

• Marc from United Kingdom – 21 August 2024 (9/10)

  Incredible location – easy access to the mainland and insanely quiet on an evening. Very quaint.

• Arij from Portugal – 12 August 2024 (8/10)

  The whole vibe is a bit surreal being isolated on an island at night but in the best way possible. The premises are really cool, gorgeous views everywhere, very calm. Spacious room and bathroom, great breakfast with vegan options. Great value for money
  
  What could be improved: There is a Tea kettle but no mugs in the room.
  The water pressure is too weak, and the water is cold, in the August heat it was not a problem for me but it shouldn’t be that way.

• Samira from Italy – 28 July 2024 (7/10)

  The toilet was so spacious, and all the sheets were clean. The breakfast was also really good. The staff were also so friendly and could guide us in English.
  
  What could be improved: There were some dead insects on the desk like a mosquito and a butterfly.
  There were a couple of spiders in the room and toilet.
  Also the fridge was really small and was not working properly.

• Sharon from New Zealand – 10 July 2024 (9/10)

  It’s a quiet, beautiful oasis so close to the city. Stylish interiors, great breakfasts

• Edward from Ireland – 8 July 2024 (7/10)

  Island location gardens and breakfast were all amazing.Fantastic shower!
  
  What could be improved: Rooms are dated and need some TLC air con and TV didn't work but the location is world class!
