    Coffee variation available excellent, fruit choice excellent, Joghurt etc excellent.... Choice of egg variations excellent. Breads, In wouldd have loved to have a plain croissant without verse inside, that is really plain. Minor criticism: some meats, ham, mortadella, salami would have been nice to balance all the sweets. Lovely location : breakfast in the garden , marvellous.

    Can't think of a thing. If only I could be back there now!!

    Fantastic location within walking reach of all the main sights but in a lovely charming quieter part of the city. The host Lorenzo simply could not have been more welcoming and helpful. Room surpassed out expectations and the attention to detail is incredible. Beautiful,modern but totally in keeping with this gorgeous historic city. Wonderful.

    Hidden GEM in the middle of Venice
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Suite with River View
    • Stayed 4 nights

    For the first time: nothing at all!

    EVERYTHING was 10 out of 10! From the entrance, where you can enter to the hotel literally by boat (magical!), to the staff who made my stay there more than perfect. It's just a hidden gem in the middle of Venice! Location is great cos you're near everything but at the same time you're out of the crazyness of all the touristic places. Moreover, you have lots of bars and restaurants near the hotel (5min walking) very local with a nice italian vibe, and with normal prices. The garden was just perfection, watching the sunset from the garden with a bottle of wine, some crisps and a book. The room (I've got the suite) was very spacious, extremly clean and the deco was just the perfect combination of style and good taste. The views from my room were epic, opening the windows in the morning with the smell of the breakfast and the views of the canals, just magical! Staff was on another level of perfection, always helping and recomending new places to visit. No words for this small hotel!

    More information on the available services (breakfast, aperitivo, etc.,) would be nice.

    This little Venetian retreat entirely does away with the usual trappings of Venetian hotels. No clinging to outdated ideas of luxury -- as in some of the chains and faux 4/5* offerings. Instead, a beautiful walled garden awaits overlooking the intersection of two waterways, with rooms superbly well-realised with a serene, homely yet luxurious atmosphere throughout. Service is personal and impeccable for the most part. The location puts you in the heart of Cannaregio and the lively rio della Misericordia.

    The staff really wanted to please and be welcoming but there is a fine line between attentiveness and intrusion which maybe needs some thought. Despite all the positives, I can't see the justification for the such a high price for what is bed and breakfast in a lovely setting.

    The stylish garden setting on the intersection of two busy canals was marvellous. The quality and homemade ingredients of the breakfast were outstanding. The assistance in organising airport transport at a time of a transport strike and an electrical storm over the lagoon was hugely appreciated. A very homely setting.

    The low number of rooms, whilst being a part of the hotel’s charm, also means that there is limited availability for breakfast in the morning, making reserving a time slot essential. it would have been good to know this in advance.

    The garden is an oasis of tranquility in the bustling heat of Venice. All of the flowers are beautifully curated to create a soothing, nourishing, regenerative space to plan the next adventure.

    A charming hotel, perfectly located. Our room was spacious, offered a view of the canal and met all our expectations. Breakfast in the garden was fantastic - a real privilege in a city in which open and quiet spaces are a rarity! The staff was very friendly, too. All in all, a great place to stay and we will definitely consider returning.
