In the heart of Venice, just five minutes from St. Mark's Square, lies the B&B San Marco, a historic residence that embodies the charm and elegance of one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Upon entering the establishment, guests are welcomed by a refined atmosphere, furnished with antique furniture that tells stories of a past rich in art and culture. The rooms offer a delightful view of a wide canal, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the sounds and scents typical of Venetian life.

The location of the B&B is ideal for those wishing to explore the city. Situated next to the Church of San Giorgio dei Schiavoni, famous for its frescoes by Carpaccio, B&B San Marco is surrounded by historical and architectural testimonies, making every walk an unforgettable experience. Guests can choose between two comfortable rooms: one with a balcony and private external bathroom in an exclusive area, and the other with an ensuite bathroom, both a perfect refuge after a day of exploration.

Managed with passion by the owner couple Alice and Marco, the B&B is an example of authentic hospitality. Marco, who returned to the family home in 2002, decided to open the doors of his residence, thus transforming a wonderful family story into a welcoming experience for travelers from around the world. The presence of the managers is an added value, as they live upstairs, ready to share intimate advice and secrets of the city, making every stay a unique moment.

Every morning, guests can enjoy a carefully prepared Italian breakfast in the shared kitchen, a moment of sharing that takes place around the large friendship table or on the romantic balcony overlooking the canal, where one can observe the vibrant rhythm of Venetian daily life. From fresh brioche to local delicacies, breakfast is an opportunity to start the day with energy and flavor.

B&B San Marco is located on the third floor of a building without an elevator, immersed in the historic Castello district, away from the tourist crowd but close to all the main points of interest. The nearest vaporetto stop, S. Zaccaria, allows easy movement among the wonders of the city, making this residence the ideal base to discover the most authentic side of Venice, with the warm hospitality of Alice and Marco always available to make the stay unforgettable.

Since I traveled alone and for the first time in Venice, staying at B&B San Marco of Alice & Marco was the best choice I could make. My experience wouldn't have been the same in a hotel or Airbnb. I really appreciated their hospitality, the interactions we had, and the advice they shared to experience Venice in a different way. I thank them for that. The room is cozy, the bed is comfortable, the view from the balcony is beautiful and so peaceful at night. I would like to keep this place a secret but I have to strongly recommend it to travelers who want to experience Venice while connecting to Venetian people.

This is an authentic Bed and Breakfast where you can stay and interact with the host family in the family home. You may also have the opportunity to meet and enjoy other guests and hear about their travels. Our experience was priceless as we were able to learn about a side of Venice that one would not be exposed to staying at a typical hotel or inn.

We enjoyed our stay in B&B San Marco, it is really well located, especially for somebody who comes to Venice for the first time. A small supermarket a few steps away, very comfortable beds, nice view from the small balcony, a private bathroom, full privacy. The breakfast was an option but we did not use it - it is not possible to indicate it in the scoring.

It’s a lovely place. Our hosts are really kind but we didn’t see them every day. Our bedroom was beautiful and very cozy with a canal view. For breakfast, we had to buy near our accommodation to have yogurt, fruits, and cereals. We will come back. The location is perfect to visit Venice. Thanks a lot Alice and Marco. Best regards from Élise and Magali.

We had a wonderful time at B&B San Marco. Super classy place! Everything went smooth. We loved the location. Small local bars, restaurants are near by. Marco and Alicia are very responsive and help out with all kinds of questions. Thank you. See you next time!

This place is perfectly placed to view all major sites, St Mark's Square and Rialto Bridge just 9 minutes walk. Instructions on how to reach the property are second to none. The only downside is the flight of steps to reach the 3rd floor, so if you have mobility problems then this place and Venice are not for you. There is a mini supermarket 30 yards from the property which is very handy.

No need to look further as this IS THE ONE for you! The hosts are so pleasant and he helped me with my heavy bag up flights of stairs. The view from the balcony room is incredible and took many photos. It doesn’t matter that the balcony room doesn’t have bathroom because it’s right next door. There’s a great supermarket just 2 mins away with everything you need. You also have a little fridge to use. Location is great and only 7 mins walk to St Marco ferry stop and no bridges. The bed is sooo comfy and pillows same. Bathroom is huge. Definitely value for money in Venice!

A perfect stay in a perfect B&B in Venice. The hosts (Alice and Marco) are perfect and helpful. The room is clean and the breakfast, magic (don't miss Alice's Cappuccino). We recommend.

Loved the balcony and the view on the canal! The hosts were very nice and kind enough to point us some interesting things to do in Venice during our short stay. Thank you!

We were excited about the room and were not disappointed. We had a wonderful stay in a very nice and clean room with a great view. The communication with Alice before our trip was very pleasant and friendly. We would like to thank not only our hosts Alice and Marco, but also warmly Christiano, who, due to the hosts' vacation, was our personal contact person and was always available for questions and information. We would love to come back anytime! Thank you!

Staying at B&B San Marco is like being at your own home! Alice took some time upon our arrival to explain on the map of Venice the best places and areas to visit, eat, etc. It has been a pleasure to stay at this accommodation! Very well located, overlooking one of the canals and the house is very nice.

Good cleanliness, availability, and location. Great value for money: breakfast could be improved.

vincenzo

Great location, courtesy from the manager. Unfortunately, perhaps due to the manager's commitments during the days we were at B&B San Marco, breakfast was well below expectations: expired jam, day-old bread, long-life milk, and only one croissant for three people over three days. Much room for improvement.

I recommend without a shadow of a doubt the B&B San Marco for many reasons: strategic location, cleanliness, friendliness and availability of the hosts, tranquility, room comfort. If I were to return to Venice, I would not look for anything else.

I highly recommend this B&B for several reasons: it is right in the center very close to piazza San Marco, it is economical compared to the standards, the rooms are spacious and clean. Fantastic room with balcony overlooking the canal directly. The breakfast is plentiful and varied and above all it is a moment to socialize with the other guests of the structure. As Neapolitans, we prepared coffee for a couple from Taiwan, who greatly appreciated it. The owner of the structure is really friendly and willing to provide all the necessary information. The bathroom is shared only for 2 rooms, and personally in 4 days I have never found it occupied. Downstairs there is a supermarket where you can buy something for lunch at a low price. Nearby there is Rosso Pomodoro that makes real Neapolitan pizza. If I were to return to Venice, I would definitely stay there.
