Oltre il Giardino is a beautiful old house that sits on a quiet canal (Rio di San Stin) in a charming residential/historical neighborhood in San Polo. The house itself and the room we stayed in (Ivory) are decorated in a simple, sophisticated style. Clean decor and very comfy bed. Spotless bath and a large walk-in closet. Service here, as mentioned... more

I found the Oltre Il Giardino on your website and it was as perfect as your reviews stated. Our room was spacious, immaculate, well-appointed, and overlooked the garden where breakfast is served - weather permitting. And, the breakfasts were delicious. I wanted to have one of everything! The hosts were always friendly and very helpful. After a day of touring... more

I loved this hotel and would return without hesitation. There are only 6 rooms in a converted house entered through a small walled garden beside a canal - you get a key for your room and the garden door. Breakfast is in the garden when warm enough - there is a buffet of cereals, yoghurt, various cakes and pastries; coffee,... more

Booked this hotel after reading the reviews on TA and we were not disappointed. It is in the centre of Venice away from the most touristy areas but within easy reach of anything you need to see either on foot or on the vaporetto which stops nearby. I cannot recommend the Oltre il Giardino too highly. It is a haven... more

We arrived at the airport on a delayed flight from Sicily at midnight and found that there were no water taxis waiting and so caught the ferry and vaporetto to San toma. It was quite a stressful journey as my plan was to step into a water taxi and step off at the hotel door we had no clue as... more

We had very high expectations of Oltre Il Giardino, having read the positive reviews left by others, and we weren't disappointed. We had a junior suite (the 'blue room') on the top floor and throughly enjoyed the space and the delightful view over the garden. The staff could not have been more helpful and the breakfasts, served outside under a... more

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
