This was my first visit to Venice and did a lot of research on where to stay. I wanted somewhere central, but quiet, and I was prepared to pay a fair bit to get somewhere special.

This B&B will exceed all expectations. The place is beautiful, the building is perfect, it is exceptionally well run and the staff are tremendous. It is centrally located, yet wonderfully quiet, intimate but not intrusive and the breakfasts are to die for! You will not find a better B&B/hotel in Venice. What more can we say? more

It has its own little... more

My husband and two kids (aged 11 and 9) stayed at Oltre il Giardino in October. The accommodation was just beautiful. It is a 6-roomed house with private garden. This B&B is on San Polo away from the horrible crowds; it is in walking distance to the railway station, the vapretto, good restaurants and in a very good location. We... more
