Hey from Marco

Member since August 2005 | 333,101 hits

Hello everyone! My name is Alice and together with my husband Marco, we manage a wonderful bed and breakfast in Venice. Our structure was inaugurated back in 2002, when Marco decided to return to his family home where he grew up, after a long corporate career. The idea of opening a B&B came to him because all the other family members had left Venice, and he wanted to bring life back to that beautiful family home.

From that moment on, Marco decided to share his passion for hospitality with the world, enrolling in a course on opening and managing Bed and Breakfasts at the Italian Association in Milan. That's where Marco and I met in 2003, and after four years of friendship, I decided to join him in Venice as a "permanent guest".

Today, we are a true "B&B family", speaking five languages and loving to travel. Our Bed and Breakfast is an authentic experience, as we only have three rooms and we live in the structure on the upper and side floor. In this way, we help to populate and make the city come alive, welcoming all our guests as long-time friends and explaining Venice from the inside out.

We are certain that your experience here will be unforgettable. We look forward to welcoming you!

What guests say

Guests consistently praise the property's excellent location, just minutes from St. Mark's Square and convenient for exploring major sights. Rooms are noted for being clean, comfortable, and many offer beautiful canal views. The hosts receive high marks for their friendliness and willingness to provide helpful local tips. The atmosphere is authentic and welcoming, with breakfast often mentioned as abundant and a great opportunity to interact with hosts and other travelers, though a few reviews suggest breakfast could be improved. Access involves stairs, which may be challenging for those with mobility issues. Overall, highly recommended for travelers seeking a central and personable stay.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
