Morning walks along the nearby Riva degli Schiavoni promenade offer breathtaking views across the lagoon, while the nearby Giardini della Biennale provides a peaceful green space—a rarity in Venice—where visitors can relax amidst artistic surroundings.

Water transportation is conveniently accessible, with vaporetto stops connecting guests to the Grand Canal, the colorful island of Murano, known for its exquisite glassmaking, and the serene island of Lido with its beautiful beaches.

  La Bonbonnier is a beautiful, cozy apartment in a great neighborhood.
  The accommodation was equipped with everything needed, we didn't miss anything at all.
  Communication was quick and uncomplicated at all times, and the hosts also provided helpful tips on how to get there and back with the water buses.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing!

• Ivana from France – 2 March 2025 (9/10)

  I really enjoyed my stay at Le Bonbonnier and I would definitely stay there again when I’m back in Venice. The place is very cute and comfy, the host is always available and responsive to any questions – before or after my arrival. It was easy to access the apartment even as I arrived late at night. The location is great as the area is super calm, but not too far from the main attractions. Super clean, meets all expectations really.

• Inna from United States – 27 July 2024 (9/10)

  A fantastic place to stay in Venice. It's in a quiet residential area, close to the vaporetto or a nice stroll to the central areas if one would like to walk. Very clean and comfortable.

• Monica from Malta – 13 July 2024 (8/10)

  Perfect location for exploring the Giardini Area. conveniently located at ground floor so no more steps after a day out.

• Kerry from South Africa – 30 June 2024 (9/10)

  Absolutely everything, a beautiful spacious apartment. This was so comfortable and close to the vaperetto station. We attended the Biennale and it was so close. This was one of our highlight stays. Everything we needed was in the apartment. We would highly recommend this place. 10 out of 10
  
  What could be improved: Nothing, everything was lovely

• Lyske from Netherlands – 8 May 2024 (8/10)

  Location next to the Biennale was great. Castello is a nice quiet neighborhood with still some nice restaurants and you can walk to downtown Venice.
  
  What could be improved: The matrass covers kept popping of. And for the money I would have liked that the taking out of the trash and dishes would have been included.

• Tracey from Australia – 24 October 2023 (9/10)

  Great little place. We enjoyed our stay very much. Nice quiet neighbourhood and close to restaurants, waterbus stop and supermarket.

• Tracey from Australia – 6 October 2023 (9/10)

  The location was excellent. Shirt walk to water bus. Garabaldi Via had lots of restaurants and supermarket close by.
  Area was very quiet and away from the hustle and bustle.
