We couldnt have had a better time in this B and B! This is the one to stay in if you ever get to Venice. So helpful, and clean. We thoroughly reccommend it.

A nice escape from the business and crowds of Venice . An easy 10 minute walk from the Vaporetto Station to the B and B. Lido a very pretty and quiet island. Great restaurant across the little street and canal with fabulous food. Breakfast basic and fine but would be nice to have some sort of protein such as yogurt or cheese. All in all a good experience. We had 3 couples which filled the B and B. Olivia was kind enough to let us "take over" the main floor and use the fridge which was great.

Hostess very welcoming and friendly. Breakfast on the balcony is a great feature. Close to the main shopping area and waterbus stop. Quiet and peaceful, facing a canal.

Nothing wrong with the place at all, but nothing great either. The place is located on the island in front of Venezia which makes it expensive to move around. The room was ok although no atmosphere at all. Breakfast was simple but nice. All the best!

This little B&B is amazing! It is perfect for everybody, who is looking for a cheap, but familiar and nice opportunity. The Lady running the B&B is really kind. It is not on venice itself, but on a little island (Lido) next to venice. We payed 7€/one way for the public transport to venice itself.

For people staying in Venice for more than one night, this is highly recommended. it is a little far (on Lido island) and about 12-15 mins walk from the Lido boat stop but is very inexpensive and includes breakfast. If you are going in summer, Lido has a beach too. there are reasonably priced cafes and restaurants on Lido (almost all restaurants in Venice have a cover/table charge per person and 10-12% service charges! but not on Lido).

It's a bit far from the main island, Venice, but a great value for money. Olivia was a kind lady and the breakfast was good!!! There is a big supermarket and good restaurants in the main street (far better and cheaper than Venice). Keep in mind that it takes 40-1hr from the Venice SL station by boat.

Very clean and breakfast was great (bread, rolls, coffee, tea, jam). We were the only ones there so we had the whole apt to ourselves which was amazing. Livia was very nice and gave us our space. Hot showers everyday was great too!

The woman who ran the place let us in and disappeared--no info on how to get in touch with her if we had questions. Internet wouldn't work, and no phone in the room, so coordinating with our party in another hotel was very difficult. Breakfast was bread, jam, & microwaved coffee. No refills (including milk for coffee!) and no protein available. The radiator and sink both leaked, there was black mold in the tub, and she turned the heat WAY down--cold! Dark and quiet at night, but noisy in the AM.

I pointed this out to the guests that I was on the floor below for any inquiries, just then ring a bell

We had a very pleasant stay and would definitely come back there. It does take some time to get to Venice from the hostel (10 minutes' walking + vaporetto), but it's actually quite nice to start and end the day with a quiet walk along the water. The room was comfortable and the breakfast, served with great kindness, fills you up for the day. A very good place to stay!

The heater was too low. It could have been hotter since the weather was so cold. There were no lifts and we had to take the bags through the stairs. The neighbour was rude when we were arriving at the place.
