Would we have enjoyed Venice as much without Marco's excellent welcome? Certainly not. Ideally located, this B&B is a charming, spacious and comfortable gem from which it is easy to explore the different districts of the city. The host, attentive, discreet and cheerful, carefully takes care of the comfort of the travelers. The homemade breakfast is of exceptional quality! With generosity, Marco offers his advice and kindly responds to special requests. A 5-star rating for this tailor-made service that combines the charm of the place, the richness of human encounter, and the quality of a high-end service. Looking forward to going back!

Excellent welcome. Marco made us feel as if we were at our own home with his extreme kindness and cordiality. Excellent breakfast with high-quality products prepared by the skilled hands of Marco himself. Definitely worth a return!

Great accommodation, ideal location and very friendly and cordial manager. A super breakfast and many other reasons to return.

We stayed 2 nights in this accommodation for New Year's and can only recommend it: Accommodation in the heart of Venice, very well located (10 minutes from the train station and about 25 minutes walk from Piazza San Marco). Marco, the owner, is an exceptional host very kind who loves what he does and it shows! Before our arrival, he gave us all the details to reach his accommodation from the airport and made himself available for all our questions (transports, recommended restaurants, etc). Upon our arrival, we were warmly welcomed by Marco who gave us all the practical information to discover Venice and even left us a little attention in the fridge to celebrate the new year, in addition to the coffee/tea and homemade cookies available in the room. The room is very spacious, clean and very well maintained, we felt at home. Breakfast was plentiful with fresh, healthy and homemade products by Marco who sat with us for a very friendly exchange and sharing moment. In conclusion, this accommodation is a rare gem, we highly recommend it and keep this address preciously if we have to stay again in Venice!

Everything perfect. Marco is a great host. Fantastic breakfast. Clean and comfortable room. The location is very convenient. Thank you!

Ideal place for people who prefer private accommodations to hotels! Homemade breakfast! Very quiet! Very close to the train station! Marco takes care very lovingly and helpfully! Thank you very much!

The perfect B&B for a visit to Venice: a cozy, spacious, and lovingly furnished room in a charming and centrally located historic building, plus a rich and homemade breakfast that leaves nothing to be desired - all at an unbeatable price! The friendly host Marco is a native Venetian and has the best insider tips for sightseeing and restaurants. It was my very first time in the city and I couldn't have chosen better - many thanks for your hospitality and until next time!

A lovely B&B in a perfect location - right in the middle of everything yet absolutely quiet. The owner is incredibly attentive and caring towards his guests. The room is tastefully and subtly decorated and has a new, small, functional bathroom. Everything was super clean. In the morning, we were served a loving, mostly homemade breakfast. \nSuch gems should not actually be revealed!

Everything perfect, from the location to the characteristic of the place and the courtesy of the owner Marco.

I stayed at this delightful Bed and Breakfast alone for two nights, what can I say: everything perfect, no detail left to chance, top-notch hospitality, super strategic location for any activity and close to the train station yet very quiet (overlooking a small garden), breakfast for connoisseurs. Marco is a host deserving of top marks and a skilled pastry chef. Highly recommended structure especially if you are looking for an authentically Venetian experience (late 1400s location) with, in my opinion for Venice, an excellent quality/price ratio. I will definitely come back!

Beautiful stay, owner always available and welcoming.

Right in the historic center of Venice, close to the Grand Canal. Quiet room with a very comfortable bed. For breakfast, there was homemade bread and cakes and great tips and conversations with the landlord. We couldn't have asked for better.

Marco is an exceptional host! He welcomes you into his home like an old friend. Hospitable and attentive, but never intrusive. Our stay in Venice was superb also thanks to him! The b&b is in a great location both for those arriving by train and those arriving by car (5 minutes walk from the station and Piazzale Roma). A few meters away is the vaporetto stop on the Grand Canal.

Our host Marco was fabulous! Very friendly and helpful. He went out of his way to make sure we had a fabulous time in Venice. His breakfasts were delicious, especially his pancakes! The B&B was centrally located. When we return to Venice, we will definitely stay with Marco.

The manager Marco is a very helpful and friendly person, attentive to customer needs, an animal lover, positive our experience with our four-legged friend. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Marco is the best host! A walking distance from the train station or the bus from the airport.\n\nAlso, walk straight out the door about 1 or 2 blocks to the Grand Canal then a couple more to the vaporetto stop.\n\nYou might be awakened some days at 7:30 or 8 by the cheerful voice of the trash collector below your window.\n\nGood gelato shop very close.

Excellent stay at Il Giardino di Giulia, everything was perfect to make this stay very pleasant, the room is cozy, quiet and tastefully decorated. Breakfasts out of the ordinary, prepared 'homemade' and super fresh. Keep receiving your guests with the same savoir-vivre Marco, very good memories of our morning chats, see you soon maybe.

Fabulous host, always helpful. Great breakfast! Great location!

This was my first solo travel to Europe and in Italy, Venice was my first stop. I had some hesitations despite the excellent reviews I had read of this Bed and Breakfast. Marco and his B&B not only erased my fears. They far exceeded my expectations. Right from the beginning, Marco patiently and promptly responded to my every question and made me feel safe. He gave me specific directions and patiently stayed on the phone and 'kept me company' until I reached his place. He greeted and warmly welcomed me at the door as if I was part of the family. He carried my luggage up the stairs for me, made me feel at home and gave me tips about Venice - the best places to go for food, getting around, etc. Marco's B&B is literally a 2-3 minute walk from the Grand Canal. My evenings were magical! Breakfasts - they made my stay in Venice even better. It was at this table where I met very kind people and had great laughs and conversations over the delicious food Marco had prepared for us. He even remembered to prepare soy milk for me (I had mentioned in my previous emails that my stomach reacts to milk other than soy). That was a nice touch. Finally, Marco went out of his way for me. I had forgotten to drop my postcards in the mailboxes - Marco found them after I had checked out and sent them for me without extra charge. When I visit Venice again, I will definitely stay with Marco again. I will bring the whole tribe with me then. I would not hesitate to recommend Marco's B&B to anyone. Thank you so much, Marco!

Lovely, lovely B&B! Marco is a very good and lovely host. The B&B is located central, just a stone's throw away from the train station and the ferry on the Grand Canal. It's a bit of a walk to St. Mark's Square and the Rialto Bridge, but not too much. We loved every recommendation from Marco. We would definitely book it again. Breakfast was lovely with homemade cake and fresh eggs every morning.

I feel so happy and pleased that I discovered Marco's beautiful 4-story house - it is a listed small jewel that has been well restored and beautifully furnished - I immediately felt at home!\nI enjoyed the rich and delicious breakfast every morning where you sit in his living/dining room and are served by his delicious dishes (I love his pancakes.\nIt is the perfect start to the day, having breakfast there and a nice chat with Marco and the other guests in a very kind family atmosphere!\nWill definitely go back there!

We spent four wonderful days at this accommodation. Marco is a very attentive host. Everything is very clean and the location is central. The garden rooms are very quiet and the breakfast is prepared with much love. We will definitely return and recommend the B&B.

My wife and I stayed at 'Il Giardino di Giulia' for four nights. Marco is the perfect host! He speaks fluent English (and French too) and told us the best places to eat and explained where to get the vaporetto from, for our planned excursion the following day. He made us delicious pancakes for breakfast, with excellent coffee and homemade cakes on offer too. The property is within walking distance of both Santa Lucia train station and Piazzale Roma bus station (approximately 5 and 10 mins respectively). This might not sound like a big deal, but if you're arriving by train or bus in the middle of summer, you won't want to be walking far with luggage or paying for an expensive water taxi. Despite being located in a busy 'Callè', the rooms are quiet and as most tourists have left by nightfall, there is little in the way of noise. We will definitely be returning and can't wait to catch up with Marco again!

We stayed 2 nights in Venice at Marco’s place which was in a great location, very close to the train station. Marco was a fantastic host, providing us with excellent recommendations as well as great conversation. His breakfast was fantastic! My wife had a knee injury and Marco generously offered to carry her suitcase to the train station. Thank you for everything Marco!

We highly recommend this B&B! Great location, close to everything by foot (train, vaporetto, sightseeing). Carlo is amazing, kind, and attentive. He speaks perfect French and English. The room is very clean, simple, perfectly to our liking. It's nicely decorated with photos of Marcello Mastroianni films, very good value for money.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with Marco. His property is located in an ideal part of Venice, close to the train station and in a nice quiet area. I loved his placid, laid back demeanor and his handmade omelette for breakfast was a highlight of our stay.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with Marco. He was very knowledgeable about Venice and places to visit.

Marco is very attentive to the needs of his guests and very friendly. The rooms are clean and the beds very comfortable. We recommend this B&B.

Marco is a person to say the least exquisite and very helpful. The B&B is located near the station 10 minutes from San Marco and near a vaporetto landing stage for those who do not want to walk or want to take a ride on the Grand Canal. Good breakfast and excellent room cleanliness. We will definitely come back.

Great location, 5 minutes from the station. The owner is very helpful and friendly, makes you feel at home. Breakfast with homemade pie, excellent pancakes, yogurt, cappuccino, coffee, etc. Clean and tidy, highly recommended.

Location of Il Giardino di Giulia is strategically appreciable and very convenient: close to the train station and a ferry stop. Owner is very kind, helpful, and cooperative.

My daughter spent a few days in Venice and was completely thrilled with the room, the breakfast, the proximity to the train station, and especially with the host Marco. We will definitely come back for the next Biennale visit.

Marco took very good care of us, it was really familiar with him. When we come back to Venice, we will definitely stay with him. Also, we will recommend him to friends.

Everything was exceptional: the place, the cleanliness, the breakfast, the welcome.

Great place. Curtains need to be replaced in the room. Marco is very nice and attentive. Breakfast is very good.

A room in the heart of Venice with the basic necessities, except for A/C. Wonderfully friendly and entertaining host, Marco. He makes an excellent breakfast!

Perfect in every way. The host Marco is a dream in every way, born in Venice and full of information and passion. The location is amazing, the rooms large and tastefully decorated. Lovely shower and furniture. The breakfast is simply perfect, proper ground coffee and amazing cakes, omelettes and pancakes mmmmmm. A great experience, we plan to visit again.

Magnificent stay. Marco is a most charming host.

El lugar es genial, todo perfecto, Marco es un anfitrión excelente. El desayuno genial, y la habitación excelente.

Host is great, friendly and helpful. Breakfast is plenty and very delicious. Location is near train station.

J'ai passé un excellent séjour; Marco,, adorable et très cultivé, donne de très bons conseils-notamment pour les restaurants de vraie cuisine vénitienne. Un bed & breakfast très agréable, calme, bien situé: une adresse à retenir.

Abbiamo soggiornato dal 16 al 18 giugno e non posso dire altro che super. Strategico come posizione, tranquillo anche se centrale ma soprattutto accoglienza e servizio che fanno la differenza! Pulitissimo, colazione ottima, abbondante e squisita e poi un grande valore aggiunto, il proprietario Marco che ci ha accolti come amici più che come ospiti, simpatico e cordiale insomma siamo stati benissimo! Lo consigliamo vivamente.

Abbiamo soggiornato due notti in questo grazioso B&B nel centro di Venezia. Comodo per la vicinanza alla stazione e punto di partenza per le nostre passeggiate nelle "Calli". Gestito da Marco, una persona più che ospitale, che ha reso il nostro weekend ancora più gradevole.

Piacevolissimo soggiorno al Giardino di Giulis, reso ancor più speciale dall'ottimo Marco! Gentilissimo, molto disponibile e professionale. E ottime le sue crostate.

Tranquillità, accoglienza, disponibilità, clima familiare, colazione ottima, sonno ok, posizione molto strategica.

Super gelegen, Marco ist ein sehr netter Host des B&B und hat uns mit vielen Insider-Tipps für Venedi versorgt. Hübsches Zimmer und gutes Frühstück. Werde die Unterkunft weiterempfehlen.

Ottimo alloggio per viaggiatori single e per coppie. Buon rapporto qualità prezzo. Ottima posizione vicina a piazza S. Marco e vicina a piazzale Roma. Perfetto per chi viene in treno. Gestore cordiale e disponibile. Qualora ritornassi a Venezia alloggerei nuovamente qui.

Excellent séjour au jardin de Giulia. Le B&B est très bien placé: idéal pour se rendre à pied en ville, ou à deux pas du vaporetto si on est un peu fatigué. Notre chambre était très bien équipée. Elle donnait sur un petit jardin, et était donc très calme. Marco, notre hôte, est quelqùun de très sympathique et serviable. Il nous a donné beaucoup de bons conseils pour découvrir la ville. De plus, son petit déjeuner est excellent. Nous recommandons donc vivement ce B&B.

Une très belle rencontre Avec marco le propriétaire. B&B de charme décoré Avec goût. Très calme et chaleureux. Superbe petit déjeuner maison.

Very nice B&B. Marco is a very attentive host. Fluent at English and French, makes conversation easy. Guests and Marco sit together at 1 breakfast table for a multi-national chat, so take this into account if you are one of the grumpy sort in the morning. I liked it very much, it shows that Marco has interest in his guests and that he likes his "job".

Chambre d'hôte très bien placée, propriétaire très sympa, très accueillant et polyglotte, petits déjeuners excellents, tout ça dans une ville de rêve, bref, je ne pense pas qùon puisse trouver mieux à Venise.

Nous sommes ravies de notre séjour, chambre et salle de bains confortables et très propres, petits déjeuners copieux. Propriétaire très accueillant, il parle francais et nous a donné un tas de conseils.

Marco was outstanding, location great, facilities ideal and breakfast outstanding. A phenomenal experience and will go again and unequivocal recommendation to all my friends.

"Julia's Garden" is a very cute, little B&B in the heart of Venice - not far away from the station and the touristic highlights, but at the same time absolutely quiet and peaceful. The host is warmly and helpful and tells you lots of interesting stories about his wonderful hometown. And the three guest rooms are quite small, but very nice and individually designed.

Venezia mi è rimasta nel cuore, tornerò sicuramente. Un abbraccio e grazie per tutto. Arrivederci.

Perfect B&B, great location and wonderful host.

Accueil très chaleureux hébergement de qualité et idéalement placé. Hôte très attentionné, donnant de très bons conseils pour la visite de Venise et de bonnes adresses pour la restauration. Petit déjeuner très copieux. Très bonne adresse que nous gardons précieusement pour un prochain séjour à Venise. Encore merci Marco.

What an excellent find, in one of the small back streets in Venice. An oasis of calm our room looked onto the garden at the back of the church and was small but comfortable with everything we needed. Marco was very attentive nothing was too much trouble and his breakfast were delicious and set us up for our two days sightseeing. Could highly recommend.

Una vacanza bellissima, grazie anche a Marco, alla sua gentilezza e disponibilità. La posizione è ottima (centro raggiungibile tranquillamente a piedi e fermate del trasporto pubblico e stazione vicinissime). La colazione è fantastica, tutto fresco, biologico e con tante prelibatezze preparate da Marco. A colazione si sta tutti insieme e ci si perde a parlare con Marco, una persona davvero gradevole e di ottima compagnia. La nostra stanza (Marcello) è arredata davvero con gusto, luminosa, silenziosa e sempre perfettamente pulita! Cosa dire..una vacanza perfetta, resa ancora più bella avendo scelto questa sistemazione! Lo consiglio vivamente a tutti!.

Excellent accueil avec Marco aux fourneaux pour un petit-déjeuner fait maison avec de beaux produits et pain maison. Chaleureux conseils pour la liste des visites et expos de Venise et des bonnes tables typiquement vénitiennes. Chambre très bien tenue, calme et à l'abri du va et vient de la foule dans un quartier typique de la Venise authentique et à 5 mn de la Gare et 10 mn du Rialto et à 50 m du Grand Canal. A recommander tant pour son emplacement et la qualité de notre hôte. Exceptionnel à ce niveau de prix.

Sono stata fortunata a trovare questo posto perché ho prenotato 2 giorni prima e in pieno periodo di vacanze. Non mi aspettavo di trovarmi cosí bene. Non potevo trovare di meglio perché: - si trova veramente a 2 passi dalla stazione e facile da raggiungere - la stanza che ho avuto io era quella a tema "rock", molto carina e pulita, forse un pó chiassosa visto che sotto c'è un bar, ma è stato lo stesso piacevole ascoltare la gente parlare il dialetto veneziano! - la colazione é deliziosa e curata nei minini particolari grazie a Marco che prepara tutto con amore, si vede ;) - il gestore, Marco, persona molto gentile e disponibile che ti da tutte le dritte per visitare al meglio la città. Lo consiglio a tutti, e se dovró ritornare a Venezia, ritornerò sicuramente qui! Grazie anche a Marco per l'accoglienza. Mariarosa.

J'ai changé au dernier moment de BnB pour me rapprocher du centre ville et je n'ai pas été déçu. L'accueil était formidable. La chambre était très propre et spacieuse. Le petit déjeuné était copieux. Le Bnb se situe au centre de Venise, à 10 mn de la place Saint Marc. Je reviendrais à ce BnB lors de mon prochain voyage à Venise. Je le recommande vivement.

Posizione ottima, stanza molto carina e pulita, Marco una persona accogliente e disponibile che tratta con cura gli ospiti e si occupa personalmente della gestione della casa. Colazione bio con prodotti cucinati da lui. Unica piccola pecca assenza di aria condizionata in una Venezia afosa ma sempre bellissima. Tornerò sicuramente in questo delizioso B&B.

Un soggiorno magnifico. Tutto davvero splendido. La location è perfetta per la sua vicinanza alla stazione (davvero solo 5 minuti a piedi) e dai principali punti di partenza per i battelli che portano ai vari punti di Venezia stessa e delle isole vicine. Posizione ottimale anche per chi vuole girare Venezia a piedi. Il gestore è di una cordialità e gentilezza uniche al mondo, mai trovato nulla di simile nei miei viaggi: ti fa sentire subito a tuo agio, disponibilità massima. Io lo consiglio vivamente e spero di tornarci presto.

Ottimo sotto ogni aspetto. Ciao Marco. Oronzo e Antonietta.

Mi sono trovata non bene, di più. Le camere denotano la passione con cui sono state fatte; la pulizia è ottima ed io sono nell'ambiente sanitario; i prodotti sono bio; il proprietario è disponibilissimo e simpaticissimo e professionalissimo; insomma: andateci. Grazie Marco, alla prossima.

Posizione ottima per chi arriva in treno, a 5 minuti dalla stazione. Marco, con la sua cordialità, la sua disponibilità e le sue storie cittadine, fa davvero sentire più a casa che in viaggio. Struttura pulita ed accogliente, originale e curata dei dettagli e nell'arredamento, frutto di ricerca e segno di indiscutibile gusto. Colazione ricca a base di prodotti biologici e salutari. Ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo. Pollice in alto.

Grandissima disponibilità del gestore, prontissimo a venire a prendere le persone alla stazione, disponibilità di lasciare i bagagli il giorno di partenza e rimanere in casa per il ritiro. Grandi consigli per trovare i locali giusti per mangiare e bere! Da seguirlo.

Mai stati meglio in nessuna struttura finora visitata. Il gestore ci ha fatto sentire da subito a casa, accogliendo noi ed il nostro cane con la massima disponibilità. Il quartiere in cui si trova la struttura è ideale per visitare tutta la città poichè si trova in posizione non centrale, ma a poca distanza sia dagli imbarcadero per le isole sia dal centro. La pulizia è massima, i locali arredati con gusto e con mobili in stile. Colazione sempre diversa, sfiziosa e totalmente BIO. In camera si trovano bollitore e vasto assortimento di tè, infusi, tisane, oltre al caffè al gin seng solubile. Inoltre nel frigobar ci sono sempre dei succhi di frutta biologici e sul tavolinetto il proprietario fa trovare sempre qualche snack dolce, cosa che rende ancor più gradevole ogni rientro in stanza. La passione e la dedizione con cui Marco gestisce la sua struttura rende davvero speciale la permanenza in questo bed and breakfast, davvero più che consigliabile, anche a chi viaggia col proprio animale. Potete stare sicuri che chi accoglie il vostro quattro zampe lo fa per assoluto amore verso gli animali, sincero ed evidente, non certo per business. Non è infatti richiesto alcun compenso extra per il soggiorno di animali domestici. Nonostante avessimo detto che avremmo portato le nostre ciotole, Marco ce ne ha fatte trovare due in camera, che trovavamo sempre linde al nostro rientro. Difficile trovare in B&B in cui ogni giorno il letto viene rifatto, la stanza pulita. Anche i detersivi impiegati sono eco compatibili. Torneremo sicuramente, come già detto a Marco, che ormai consideriamo un amico di famiglia. Lo stesso dicasi della sua compagna, che abbiamo visto non troppo spesso perchè impegnata nel suo lavoro di architetto, la cui mano si nota nell'arredo degli ambienti. Non da ultimo la struttura, totalmente ristrutturata, è dotata di rivestimento per garantire la minor dispersione termica possibile, perciò la stanza in inverno è sempre calda anche se il riscaldamento è spento. I più freddolosi hanno comunque la possibilità di regolare il riscaldamento a proprio piacimento. La coibentazione di cui sopra rende evidentemente fresche le stanze in estate. Per questo motivo è sufficiente il ventilatore a soffitto. Il massimo davvero.

L'ospitalità è stata squisita, da amico che accoglie a casa più che albergatore. A colazione a parte l'ottima crostata fatta in casa, tanti consigli utili sulla permanenza a Venezia. Grazie Marco! Fabio e Angela.

Great place and host. Absolut recommendable. It was a wonderful stay.

Marco is the nicest guest! We greatly enjoyed our stay at his B&B. He talked a lot with us, gave us useful tips (including the best place to get cichetti!) and served what was probably the best breakfast we got during our whole trip.

Ottima posizione, caratteristico e romantico il posto. Facilmente raggiungibile e il proprietario è una persona gentilissima e cordiale. Lo consiglio.
