Description

The accommodation is both comfortable and elegant, set in a traditional Venetian house, that breaths the beauty of the Grand Canal, just two steps towards the Traghetto de La Madonetta.

The rooms are bright and face towards a green, silent, private cort.

All of the rooms are furnished in a functional manor, with a gentle balance between the antique and the modern (in the bedroom, bathroom and the spacious kitchen where breakfast is served).

This is my home but I converted it into a B&B when my three daughters had left home to live abroad. I’ve named it B&B la Madonetta after the little street that leads up to the house.

I hope you will enjoy the cosy and familiar atmosphere: having breakfast in our spacious kitchen, reading or relaxing in our court or leaving room, you will be able to rest in the quiet and comfortable bedroom.

I was a teacher at the primary school and I gladly welcome families with children. I love to entertain my guests suggesting them tailored and unusual itinerary around the city to discover the history and authentic Venetian life.

Since the house is located very close to the Rialto’s bridge, the heart of the city, it won’t be difficult to find your way through the typical Venetian calli and campielli.

I look forward to welcoming you as our guest.

The property is located in a strategic, quiet, and non-chaotic location, but close to the station (about 15 minutes on foot) and all the most significant attractions in Venice. Mrs. Maria, kind and helpful, made our stay in Venice truly exceptional. Highly recommended.

As soon as you enter the home of the kind Mrs. Maria, you immediately feel part of the family. Welcoming, helpful, and always smiling. The room is spacious, heated, with large windows that allow a lot of light to come in. The breakfast in the beautiful living room is abundant and varied, with homemade bread and pastries.

We stayed in this apartment feeling at home, even without the presence of Mrs. Maria, the care and hospitality that Maria reserves for her guests was felt. Secluded position near the shores of the Grand Canal, the entrance with the leafy garden welcomes the guest in silence and tranquility after the intense hours of visiting the Biennale of Art in the wonderful city of Venice.

Being guests in a typical Venetian house and feeling part of Mrs. Maria's family was a unique experience. When you open the gate of the delightful entrance courtyard, it feels like coming back home. The landlady immediately puts the guest at ease and provides excellent advice. Breakfast in the beautiful living room is abundant and varied, with homemade bread and pastries. B&B La Madonetta will be a fixed point for our future stays in Venice!

My daughters and I stayed at the B&B La Madonetta for two days. It is an understatement to call it a bed and breakfast: it really feels like home. You get there by leaving behind the way to Rialto and turning into a small alley. You arrive at an iron gate and from there to a small secret garden, winter cradle - among other things - of a rose garden and the newly arrived red maple. The rooms are spacious, warm, welcoming, and silent, even though as you turn the corner, you find yourself in the midst of the liveliness of people, local places, and enticing scents that lead to Rialto first and San Marco later. The location of this house is enviable, convenient for everything. I didn't meet Mrs. Maria, but she followed us discreetly from a distance and was punctual in responding to our questions. Would I recommend it? Absolutely! In fact, if I were to return to Venice, I wouldn't hesitate to book here again.

I stayed in this bnb during the Carnival period. The apartment is located in the San Polo district, lively but also quiet and safe. It is a stone's throw from the Rialto Bridge, so very convenient for walking around Venice without taking public transport. I stayed in a beautiful, spacious and bright double room, with an external private bathroom that was also spacious and very clean. Mrs. Maria prepared breakfast every day at the time the guest desired, with fresh bread, milk, tea, coffee, jams, yogurt, and sometimes with delicious homemade cakes. She is a discreet, kind person who is always attentive to any needs. Everyone has their own keys so they can enter and exit at any time. I highly recommend this bnb; I felt pampered and at home. Surely, if I come back to Venice to sleep, I would like to come back here.

Apartment in a typical ancient palace in Venice, overlooking the lagoon, central and quiet location just steps from the vaporetto stop. Beautiful room, excellent cleanliness, breakfast with silver cutlery in a beautiful dining room, atmosphere of other times. The only flaw is that the private bathroom is in the corridor, but I would return. I recommend it, excellent value for money!

We really liked Maria's accommodation and I can recommend it without reservation. We stayed in her triple room with an attached bathroom. The double bed is very comfortable and the extra bed is slightly shorter and harder. It's fantastic to reside in the heart of San Marco with a real and very friendly Venetian. Maria's B&B is quietly located on a side street on the 2nd floor. From there, all the sights are within walking distance or the vaporetto stop is just around the corner. The breakfast is very rich, varied, and delicious and was served to us in the beautiful living room. The WiFi works perfectly. We were given a key and could come and go at any time. Thank you dear Maria for an unforgettable weekend in beautiful Venice!

Very happy about our staying at Maria's B&B La Madonetta. \nIdeally located, near Rialto, not far from Campo San Margherita. \nThe breakfast, home-cooked, was very good and generous.

The room was excellent, but without a TV which was not important to me. If I have to find a negative aspect, I have to say that the bathroom is outside the room and not very close, you have to cross the corridor to get there, but very clean and spacious. For me it's worth going back because the location is very good and the value for money is unbeatable.

niccolò

Pleasant stay, great breakfast, although some salty elements could have been added. Due to a misunderstanding regarding the availability of the room we booked, the owner offered us a complimentary stay, providing us with a decent and clean accommodation nonetheless. The structure itself is an apartment, so a rather informal environment, which suited us perfectly, but I would not recommend it for people seeking absolute privacy. The location turned out to be the real highlight, being practically close to the Rialto vaporetto and in general to all major attractions.

Typical Venetian structure overlooking one of the many lagoon canals, the manager is a lovely person and makes you feel at ease. The room is spacious with an ensuite bathroom and has all the accessories for a comfortable overnight stay. Kitchen available for breakfast, which is abundant and varied, living room with TV and music distribution. Interesting quality-price ratio.

B&B La Madonetta discovered by chance, excellent, very central, just a few steps from Rialto. Mrs. Maria, the owner, is a cordial and very welcoming person. Very large room with private bathroom, all very clean. Also, the breakfast is very good and prepared on the spot. What can I say: highly recommended to come back soon!

Thank you very much for everything Maria, it was a real pleasure to discover Venice staying with you. Goodbye. Mireille and René, Quebec.

Typical Venetian building, it really feels like home, the windows of my room overlooked the canal, unfortunately it wasn't the season to be enchanted by watching the passing boats. The only flaw is that the manager lives in the apartment, the way I am, at times I was worried about disturbing.

Elegant Venetian house, curated in detail by an attentive and meticulous landlady. The triple room we were given was very spacious: the double bed was king size and we slept comfortably in three (two adults and a 2-year-old girl); the additional bed was a very comfortable cot. The bathroom, not in the room but reserved only for us, was large and clean. For breakfast, we found homemade cake and bread, delicious jams, warmed mini croissants, and a table set with care and elegance. The B&B is a 5/10 minute walk from Rialto and very close to the San Silvestro vaporetto stop on the Grand Canal. I would definitely choose it again if I were to return to Venice.

I would stay here again! Beautiful apartment, extremely well located. Maria is a lovely host. I had a single room which was bright and airy. I shared the bathroom with Maria and that was fine, as well. The only major drawback is actually finding the flat. There are no signs saying that this is a B&B, nothing on the gate or the door to her flat. It is like staying in a private home, which is lovely and once you find it, its easy enough to wander about.
