Guest Reviews

• Martine (9/5): -
• Anna (10/5): Bardzo polecam!!! Fajna miejscówka!!! - Bardzo podobało mi się położenie tego pokoju! Widok na rynek i kanał! Przepięknie! Bardzo dobry kontakt z właścicielką i pracownikiem na miejscu! Możliwość pozostawienia bagaży też bardzo duży pozytyw!!! Spełniona prośba o niespodziankę w pokoju! Wszystko można załatwić! Polecam! Skromne śniadanko i raczej na słodko! Ale pyszna kawa i rogaliki!
• Blerta (10/5): - Posto bellissimo, location molto centrale. Nonostante questo, la cosa che più mi ha sorpresa è stato il servizio così attento da parte di tutti.
• Elise (5/5): Nice location but not very comfortable - The location is really great. Close to everything but in a less crowded section. We stayed in the double room with canal view and the view was very nice. Only a 5ish minute walk from the Rialto water bus stop. Easily walkable to most tourist destinations and wonderful restaurants. St. Marks was maybe 10 minutes. Shower pressure was wonderful and no issues with water staying hot for three back to back showers. It was also very clean. We did not have enough time to have breakfast but it looked delicious and the view was very nice. We were provided very helpful directions upon arrival and they offered to hold our bags after check out, we didn’t need them too but really appreciated the offer. This stay felt very personalized and more like staying in someone’s home with them more-so than a hotel/rented room. Every time we entered or exited we discussed our plans and times for each daily event. The AC would not go under 22.8 our entire stay. We were lucky to have cool nights and could leave the window open but it was still difficult to sleep with the noise and mosquitoes. I couldn’t imagine having this issue in the summer and trying to sleep. Receptionist was very friendly but only suggested to leave the AC on as it should go down (even though we left it on all night the night before and it only got hotter), it never did go down the two days we were there and no solution provided. None of us slept well due to we are used to cooler rooms in the evening. We gave the same feedback every day we were there. The reception desk and dining room is right outside the room door. We didn’t experience any noise or issues with this but it was a bit awkward when opening the door to everyone. An additional note for others is the double room with a canal is not really meant for three adult people. The twin is only a cot and not really sufficient for a grown adult. We were a family so while it was uncomfortable for our grown son, it would have been very awkward if we were not related as the cot sits directly next to the double bed. We understand now the property doesn’t usually recommend for three but booking.com should be updated to reflect this. This is a very tight room for two people, let alone three. While the additional furniture was beautiful, it took up a ton of space and made the room very tight.
• Sarah (9/5): A lovely stay near a beautiful square in a magical city -
• Carin (9/5): We enjoyed our stay. - The staff is very friendly and helpful, the location is perfect, we enjoyed the breakfast. Could prob use a little update, but clean and comfortable.
• Hiba (9/5): -
• Sarah (8/5): -
• Claerhout (8/5): Super centrale en toffe locate in authentieke sfeer. - Schitterende locatie - super centraal! Fijne equipe waar niets teveel is gevraagd! Is een ouder en authentiek pand maar heeft zijn charmes want zo direct in de venitiaanse sfeer. Niet direct iets wat mij tegen is gevallen.
• Jarosław (5/5): Wenecja to mega drogie miejsce, jedzenie jak fastfood kompletnie bez odniesienia do tego co włoskie - Było czysto, wygodnie i wszędzie blisko Śniadania
• Egle (9/5): - I cannot recommend Palazzo San Firmino enough! The location itself is an amazing spot with easy access to everything and great views, but what honestly made our stay was the host Carolina… She was beyond fantastic and truly went above and beyond for us. I was traveling with my mum and sister, and we were all so touched by the warmth and advice we were given. It wasn't just standard service, it was "real Italian heart" shown to all three of us from start to finish. It made our time in Venice feel so much more personal and special. I will definitely be going back, and I’m telling everyone I know to book here. If you want a place that feels like home with a host who truly cares and enjoys what she is doing, this is the perfect place.
• Thomas (8/5): Excellent location and nice staff. - Excellent location and nice staff.
• Boyka (9/5): - Exceptional hosts - attentive, with a personal approach.Top location. The mattress was not comfortable, but this is different for each person.
• Daria (10/5): - Отель соответствует фотографиям, вид на канал, мебель 16 века - все чисто и красиво!)
• AURANGE (9/5): Magnifique palais en plein cœur de Venise - Magnifique ancien palais vénitien, très bien placé. La vie est formidable. La gentillesse de l’accueil de Carolina est au top. Rien!
• KATERINA (10/5): -
• mike (10/5): -
• Myrna (10/5): -
• 7785fdf9555d732b164486f07c6884af (10/5): belle chambre avec sur sur les canaux - Nous avons eu un très bon accueil. Nous avons pu laisser nos bagages la journée avant de partir à l'aéroport. Le quartier est très calme, à 2 pas de la place San Marco et du pont Rialto. Nous avions une chambre avec la vue sur les canaux et un petit pont. La chambre, grande, propre. Parfait!
• 9a20d222e9b170df9cf211d5ef2038d1 (10/5): - L accueil , la gentillesse de Carolina ( la propriétaire) ainsi que celle de Tatiana ( sa collaboratrice ) . Les petits déjeuner hyper copieux , le cadre magnifique . A recommander sans hésitation. ❤❤ Rien .
• 925b8353919371f7a3ee52152dd74670 (5/5): - Ce logement était spacieux, bien entretenu et très propre, offrant un cadre agréable et confortable. Son emplacement était idéal, permettant un accès facile aux points d’intérêt environnants. De plus, le personnel s’est montré très accueillant. Soyons clairs : ce logement n’est pas un hôtel, mais un ensemble de plusieurs appartements situés sur un même étage, avec une pièce commune dédiée au petit-déjeuner. Aucune indication sur la façade de l’immeuble ne permet de repérer l’établissement, ce qui peut surprendre à l’arrivée. Il existe deux entrées, dont une à l’arrière du bâtiment, qui donne sur un local utilisé comme réserve. Le petit-déjeuner, servi par le personnel, reste assez basique et peu original, sans produits faits maison. La literie est usée, avec un matelas particulièrement fatigué. Dans la seconde chambre, l’absence de rideaux laisse passer la lumière du jour, ce qui rend difficile de dormir sans être réveillé dès le matin. Ayant séjourné dans plusieurs des logements proposés, je constate que la note actuelle de 9 ne reflète pas du tout la qualité de celui que j’ai occupé. Ce logement reste tout à fait correct, mais correspond davantage à une notation comprise entre 5 et 6.
• 048d4e8857407015576cf0307de1ac78 (7/5): Buona posizione e palazzo raffinato - La posizione, ottima per visitare Venezia Per quello che abbiamo pagato, ci aspettavamo qualcosa di più… Dal servizio e dalla colazione.
• Florian (5/5): Unter einer Suite verstehe ich einfach etwas anderes - Lage, Lage, Lage, alles in 10 Minuten Laufnähe Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Leider, wie so oft, sehr gut fotografiert, die Realität sah ernüchternd anders aus. Schräge Böden, ein kaum benutzbare zweiter Raum, ein sehr renovierungsbedürftiges Bad und eine eher klanme Atmosphäre haben die Erwartungen an die Unterkunft nicht erfüllt.
• PHILIPPE (8/5): Séjour agréable dans un bel endroit central - Bel endroit situé au premier étage d’un ancien palais, dans un quartier calme malgré tout en étant très central et permettant de visiter tout à pieds. L’accueil de Carolina est un vrai plus grâce à sa gentillesse et ses conseils.
• katie (9/5): Incredible, place , beautiful location, amazing friendly staff - What a beautiful place. Super fantastic location. Amazing friendly and helpful staff. Beds/pillows were really comfy. Super clean. Beautiful Venician braiding/furniture. We had a lovely experience, 4 night stay. We can not wait to come back . Thank you for having us and looking after us Nothing
• Honey (4/5): -
• ERDENER (10/5): - Konum çok iyi.
• Kugel (6/5): Great location! Could deliver more value for the price - Location was great! The lady helping at the property and the off-site owner were nice; but it did feel a bit like you were staying at someone’s house having to let them know exactly when you want breakfast or them having to travel back to the property because there weren’t enough towels in the room for three people. It was a pleasant stay but felt it could have been better at the price point charged. Room photos were misleading. Much smaller than they appear. Booking through this site for 3 people made it look like there would be two beds, but one of the beds was a cot at the foot of the queen bed. Entrance to apartment not very pleasant (dirty stairs and through storage type area). View of canal was nice but not visible when sitting on any of the furniture in the room because of window placement so had to walk and stand at window to see canal. For the price I paid (over $300 euros a night), it seems like there weren’t enough towels better options. When I was there and looking, it appears the price for the same stay had dropped to $200 euros/night. May not be a bad value at that price point for location/Venice but feel it was not worth the price at what we paid. Breakfast was just plain croissants, hard rolls, and yogurt. Would have been nice for the price to have some cheese or eggs or ham or some type of protein instead of just bread and yogurt.

Thé et café à volonté dans la chambre très apprécié. Tout est réuni pour un séjour réussi et de beaux souvenirs de la Serenissime
• Slobodan (10/5): -
• gregory (9/5): Delightful.. - Great Location, helpful staff None
• Milan (9/5): - Snídaně by měly mít větší výběr..chyběly sýry a aspon jeden druh šunky.. Snídaně
• Andrea (10/5): - Posizione perfetta, in un angolo spettacolare di Venezia! La padrona di casa super gentile nel consigliarci posti fuori dai circuiti turistici dove mangiare o fare un aperitivo. Camera molto luminosa e accogliente. Nulla
• Yolyan (10/5): -
• Alessandro (10/5): -
• Pezdirc (10/5): -
• Francesca (9/5): Magico come Venezia! - La posizione perfetta, staff disponibile, la camera molto bella e suggestiva. Letto comodo! Avrei apprezzato di più una colazione fatta in casa e tipica piuttosto che prodotti da supermercato.

• ARTURO (10/5): -
• Manfred (8/5): Preisleistun und Lage optimal - Die Lage des B & B ist super. Man kann alle Sehenswürdigkeiten an Land gut zu Fuss erreichen. Das Frühstück ist gut, extras wie Eier gegen Aufpreis, die Zimmer sind gut ausgetattet. Frau Carolina ist eine gute Gastgeberin , ferundlich, gibt gute Infos Die Anreis zum B & B ist wenn man es nicht weis etwas schwierig. Wasser Taxi vom Bahnhof sind sehr teuer, man nimmt am besten die Publik Linien z,b. Nr. 2 bis Rialto Brücke von dort sind es nur noch ca. 20 Minuten zum B. & B . Für einen kurz Aufenthalt von 3- 4 Tagen optimal.
• Dieter (10/5): - Hervorragender Gastgeber, immer superfreundlich und hilfsbereit. Zimmer sind sehr sauber und komfortabel. Die Lage ist perfekt.
• Karolina (10/5): Wspaniały, krótki pobyt w Wenecji - To była tylko jedna noc, ale jesteśmy bardzo zadowoleni z pobytu. Czuliśmy się w pełni zaopiekowani i przez cały czas mieliśmy świetny kontakt z gospodarzem. Musieliśmy wcześnie rano dopłynąć na lotnisko, więc śniadanie zostało przygotowane wyjątkowo wcześnie – było świeże i bardzo smaczne. Gospodarz okazał się niezwykle miły i pomocny, a na koniec nawet odprowadził nas na miejsce transportu. :) Pokoje były czyste i zadbane. Dziękujemy za gościnę i przesyłamy pozdrowienia. :)
• MASA (8/5): -
• Ramūnas Gavelis (10/5): - Pusryčiai labai prasti - kontinentiniai . Už papildomus 5 eurus iškepa kiaušininę . Bet vieta tobula - pačiam centre . Apartamentas su balkonu tikrai vertas . Balkonas prancūziško tipo , bet vis geriau negu nieko . Labai nepatogios lovos .
• Marc (10/5): Wonderful location, excellent host. - Wonderful location, facilities and communication from host. No complaints
• Marco (10/5): - Super netter Gastgeber, tolles Frühstück und perfekte Lage um Venedig zu erkunden. Die historische Decke im Zimmer und die tolle Ausstattung machen eine wunderbare Atmosphäre. Alles super :)
• natalia (8/5): - Lokalizacja piękna. Wszedzie blisko. Stylowy apartament. Czesto nie bylo cieplej wody. Bardzo skromne sniadania- rogalik i dżem. Przy cenie 300e za dobe za skromne.
• Peter (7/5): -
• Leanne (10/5): Wonderfully Charming - I loved the history and that it had been in the family for generations. I loved the fact that they had kept the decor as in keeping with the property features as possible. The owner was wonderfully passionate about the property. Lorenzo was also super helpful. The position was ideal too.
• Heather (10/5): - It’s like a dream.
• Shafia (10/5): - Very clean and cozy friendly owner 🤍 -
• Mary Amelia (10/5): A short stay , but comfortable accommodations in a Venetian home. - Wonderful staff, friendly and most helpful, owner was on site one of the days. Italian breakfast offered and it was a relaxing morning before heading out to explore the beautiful city.
• Franz (10/5): -
• CaliforniaGlenn (10/5): Amazing B&B in center of Venice - B&B was in great location in middle of Venice, short walk to St Mark's square. Beautiful and historic building with very nice classic furnishings. We had a 2 room apartment with views over the local plaza. Dining, shopping, everything is close. Our host, Lorenzo, was very gracious, informative and helpful. Nice breakfast served in beautiful breakfast room overlooking a canal.
• pemaso (7/5): Relacion calidad/precio no esta mal - Buen desayuno. Ubicacion Lo encontre un poco lugubre.
• ΜARIA (10/5): - Η αισθητική του δωματίου,η τοποθεσία,ο οικοδεσπότης πολύ φιλικός και ευγενικός Ίσως να χρειάζονται ανανέωση κάποια πράγματα όπως το σιφόνι του μπάνιου και κάποια σκουριασμένα σημεία (Αν θες να λέγεσαι luxury)
• Alvin cortuna (10/5): - location was great. very close to rialto and cafe
• Thilo (10/5): -
• Mirjam (9/5): Zeer aan te raden B & B in Venetië ! - Perfecte locatie in Venetië, hele mooie grote kamers in een eeuwenoud Palazzo. Prima ontbijt. Lorenzo een uitstekende gastheer! Alles was prima.
• Arianna (9/5): -
• Kimberley (9/5): Great experience - Location, Lorenzo and the beautiful old building. Also could store our luggage for later flight Breakfast was a little lacking, no fruit offered at our table just pastries & yoghurt. Did have option to upgrade with cooked brekkie which we didn’t choose.
• Mercedes (9/5): Espectacular - Muy céntrico cercano a todo la verdad me encantó super amplias las instalaciones personal muy amable Nada
• Charles (9/5): Wonderful property in heart of Venice - Great canal view, very quaint furnishings. Staff was great , Lorenzo handled everything wonderfully. Location was a walk from Rialto bridge stop…. about 15 minutes and over three steps bridges. A tough walk if you have alot of luggage. Suggest paying a bit extra for water taxi which can drop you right in Front of the B&B .
• CoHe (5/5): - Gute Lage. Wir hatten beim Frühstück nach Schinken gefragt. Wurde dann beim Check-out auf einmal teuer verrechnet....
• Saskia (9/5): Amazing host and great view - The host was amazing and helped us a lot. He organised a water taxi and helped us to get along in Venice. He is one of the best host we had so far. The accommodation is very nice and the breakfast with canal view is fantastic

• Katarzyna (10/5): Mamy nadzieję, że uda nam się tu jeszcze wrócić! - Mieliśmy niesamowitą przyjemność spędzić kilka dni w tym weneckim apartamencie i jesteśmy absolutnie zachwyceni! Widok na kanał z naszego okna był po prostu dech w piersiach – to kwintesencja Wenecji! poranek rozpoczęliśmy od pysznego włoskiego śniadania, delektując się tym samym bajecznym widokiem. Pomimo bliskości kanału i całego centrum, okolica jest zaskakująco cicha i spokojna, co gwarantuje wspaniały wypoczynek. Lokalizacja jest idealna: wszędzie blisko! Zarówno do najważniejszych atrakcji, jak i do przystanku vaporetto, co ułatwia zwiedzanie. Właściciel jest przesympatyczny i pomocny. Opowiedział nam fascynującą historię samej willi, w której znajduje się apartament, co dodało naszemu pobytowi jeszcze więcej uroku i głębi. Gorąco polecamy to miejsce każdemu, kto marzy o prawdziwej, weneckiej przygodzie! Mamy nadzieję, że uda nam się tu jeszcze wrócić!
• Mary (10/5): Excellent Accommodation.Highly recommend - Very central location. Very clean. Lorenzo is a great host. Great communication and very obliging It was excellent but some shelving in the bathroom and a full length mirror would be some minor additions which would make it even better.
• Olivier (9/5): - La proximité des différents arrêts de vaporeto pour desservir les îles notamment. Il pourrait y avoir du fromage et de la charcuterie en plus de l’offre.
• Petra259 (10/5): Perfect Venice stay - Our host was incredible welcoming, already waiting for us, thoroughly explaining all details. The room is decorated in a palazzo style with two windows overlooking a canal and a little bridge.Amazing, well thought out touches such as tea/coffee station, toiletries etc and an excellent breakfast. Perfectly located between san Marco and Rialto - either about a 6min walk. Lots of restaurants, squares and shop near by. Would prefer duvet bedding rather than sheets
• Shirley (8/5): The area is very charming has a view of the canal. The owner is very accommodating. Breakfast is good -
• Serena (1/5): -
• Catalin (10/5): -
• Tamara (9/5): So nice! - Lorenzo was so warm an welcoming, very nice Venetian Style Hotel, breakfast was good A few things could be renovated, but it is still a very charming Hotel
