You couldn't ask for a better base for your Venice trip. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, clean and modern; the hosts are very friendly and helpful; the breakfasts -- which are served outside in fine weather -- are modest but satisfying (i.e., lots of fruit and breads/pastries); the location is convenient; and it's really quiet. more

A brilliant place to stay. This was our third trip to Venice but our first staying at Oltre Il Giardino and we would now not stay anywhere else in the future. Great room, with a lovely bathroom. Breakfast in the garden was a real treat and the choice and quality of food was excellent. All the staff were incredibly helpful... more

Everything you could ever want in the heart of Venice. Very kind staff, a lovely room, and a fine breakfast. more

Located on a quiet canal, near Frari, you will find an inconspicuous door, behind which lies a secret walled garden. This three-storey family-run hotel has only six rooms. They provide cheerful personalized hospitality service. The water taxi can take you directly to the front door of the hotel, or this is an easy five-minute walk from the San Toma vaporetto... more

There are many places to stay in Venice from opulent 5 star hotels decked out in traditional Venetian to weird B&B’s. Oltre Il Giardino is thankfully none of these and is more akin to your own little villa. We felt at home the moment we stepped through the door. It’s small, which is what we like, with only a handful... more

We stayed here for our honeymoon for ten days in September and we would recommend it whole-heartedly; staying here really made our honeymoon for us. Located away from the oppressively busy parts of Venice, with it's own walled garden and eight spacious, stylish rooms, il giardino is quiet and luxurious without being showy. The staff want you to get the... more

What a perfect hideaway in Venice. We absolutely loved the hotel. There are only 8 rooms and the place feels so welcoming. We had a suite on the ground floor which overlooked the garden. The staff were simply fantastic, they were so helpful and always went out of their way to help. It rained the entire time we were in... more

My husband and I stayed at this B&B in Sept 2007. We immediately loved the hotel as soon as we entered the front gate. You go through their garden and walk into the beautiful first level, where they have are couches and books (including area guide books) that you can borrow during your stay. We stayed in the grey room... more

My sister and I stayed here earlier this month and we very much enjoyed our stay. Venice was 30+ degrees and sunny, so it was nice to have air conditioning and a portable fridge (i.e. very small) with cold water in it. The staff were very polite, friendly, and helpful across the board. They made some good recommendations of places... more
