Apartment is smaller than appears in the pictures, but very functional. Tiny, tiny shower. Hopefully Roberto was able to fix the hot water control in the shower. If you want to stay in a more luxurious place that is central to Venice's tourist attractions, this is not for you. But if you want a real neighborhood experience that is fun and a bit rustic, you will live like a local here and love it. We did!

Location was perfect for walking to the Venice Biennial, but it's further from Venice's main tourist attractions. Roberto was a wonderful host -- very kind, always checking to see if we needed anything. Full kitchenette, wifi, laundry washer (hang your clothes outside between the buildings to dry, Italian style!). Located in a quiet, everyday working-class neighborhood. Don't expect luxury, but we felt like we were living in a REAL neighborhood. Restaurants nearby. 12 minute walk to the vaporetto (water bus). 20 minute walk to the main tourist attractions (or take the wonderful vaporetto and live like a local!).

Roberto is great! He is so kind and met us at our room and showed us everything. The location is quiet and convenient to the water taxi.

The shower doesn’t work properly and the toilet is positions so that you are pushed between the sink and the bidet.

Very nicely located and particularly for the Biennale

Nothing in particular — of course the property is a bit dated and old but that would be the same across most if not all apartments in Venice, that is part of the charm actually.

The apartment is located in a nice quiet area but still very near restaurants, coffee shops, supermarkets, the water taxi stations, and even a nice walking distance to piazza san marco. The apartment has nice air conditioning, sufficient amenities and also neat and clean — and the best part of it all is the hospitality and kindness of the owners Roberto and Emilia. They made sure we were comfortable, and so nicely adjusted their schedule when our flight was delayed and we could not check in the apartment at the appointed time. They would also check from time to time how we were doing and if we are enjoying Venice, which is really a nice gesture.

The description of the location of the apartment/B&B was different than what we got. The directions led us to an apartment on a canal, and while the description didn't say that our apartment would be on a canal, that was the impression given. The directions given were to the landlord/owner's apartment. The actual place we stayed was some distance away and not on a canal at all.

This B&B was located in a much quieter part of Venice. The rooms were large and there was plenty of room to hang clothes. Everything was clean, well-kept, and in good working order. The bed wasn't the most comfortable, but was still comfortable enough after walking around Venice for an entire day.

there were no such things that negatively affected our stay in any way

The apartment is in a great location. Very close to all the attractions of Venice. We walked everywhere. There were cafes nearby that the locals use - and there were tasty breakfasts and even better coffee. The location of the apartment allowed you to mix with the permanent residents of Venice. The place was quiet, there is a park nearby where you could also relax. The host was a very nice person, he explained everything to us, but also there were a lot of different instructions in the apartment. On the main street via Garibaldi there were a lot of places with very good local food. It was a very enjoyable stay.

The owner Roberto was very helpful and friendly, waiting up late for us when our plane/train was delayed. The location was close to the vaporetto and only about a 20 minute walk to St Marks Square

nothing to mention really!

The host, Mr Roberto, is an amazing host, he always tended to our needs, was polite and made himself available at all times. The property was spotless clean, we had everything we needed, and the location was amazing too! Overall, the definition of value for money!

Location was excellent! The owner came to meet us and show us the place and he could not be nicer! He was very friendly and everything was lovely!

Great location, close to the waterbus station, city centre, park, shops, restaurants. Easy accessibility even with a stroller. Staff was very helpful and responsive.

Excellent host. Whenever we needed anything he was there for us, even for asking how to get somewhere. Walking distance from the main attractions and property tucked away from the city hustle.

We traveled as a couple, and the apartment is very comfortable. The kitchen is fully stocked and has everything you need for a beautiful vacation. Roberto is a very attentive and friendly gentleman who helped us with everything we needed. The location was perfect for us. Venice is a city full of tourists, and staying in this area is much quieter. There are restaurants and supermarkets just a few blocks away, and St. Mark's Square is only a 15-minute walk along the coast. Grazie mille Roberto!

Perfect location! Very very close walk to central part and all main attractions. Just 2 mins away Via Garibaldi where you'll find so many restaurants with amazingly tasty food! Supermarkets, ice cream shops. Huge thank you and compliment goes to Roberto! Such a kind, lovely, attentive man! We arrived late at night as plane was delayed. That is no issue. He let us in, showed and explained everything regarding apartment. Every day he will text you to ask if he can be of any help. We travel a lot and he is the best host so far we met. If you are still thinking to book B&B Giardini, do not hesitate, book it NOW! You will love your stay!!! Thank you, Roberto ;-)

Shower unpredictable, but fine if you follow the useful instructions. Otherwise excellent 😁

Lovely old location close to ferry stops, restaurants, bars and coop grocers and Biennale Giardini park. Very clean, well equipped property, ideal for short breaks. Emilia and Roberto very welcoming, also able to leave our luggage in their store as late flight home.

Property was lovely! Roberto and Emilia were lovely and very helpful!

Stayed in July 2023

We made coffee and one dinner at the house. Everything worked and went as expected. Only the exhaust fan didn't work. So the room got hot quite fast. We had to open the windows and blast the A.C.

Robert was accommodating, polite, welcoming, and warm. He toured and detailed the property so we didn't miss anything. He was available via WhatsApp for any questions and responded quickly. The house itself is in nice and quiet lane, away from the hustle and bustle, and the never-ending tourists' noises. It is 20 steps away from a canal, across which is one of the few gardens in Venice. The ferry stop is 2 minute's walk away. It is a few ferry stops away from St. Marco Square (depending on which ferry you take). There is a Coop store and a fish store nearby. And lots of restaurants. The room was spacious. We could do a quick laundry and hang it Venetian style on the ropes outside. Roberto was also kind enough to give us the option to store our luggage after check-out, at no extra charge. He had complimentary coffee, coffee pot, tea, tea kettle and sugar ready for us so we did;t have to go grocery hunting the next morning.
