Description
Centrally located just three minutes from the Rialto Bridge and five minutes from St. Mark's Square, the Taverna San Lio bed and breakfast enjoys a privileged location among hotels in Venice: it is convenient to the most celebrated and beautiful sites and monuments of the city and a few minutes from the boats that travel along the Grand Canal to the railway station and Piazzale Roma (car terminal) and the Accademia Galleries, the Guggenheim Museum and the Venice Biennale.
The surroundings of the Taverna San Lio are among the most characteristic of Venice, amongst a succession of picturesque lanes and squares lined with historic palaces, craftsmen's shops, and elegant boutiques. A pleasant stroll will lead you to the celebrated, and also lesser known (and perhaps more charming!), sites such as the Chiesa dei Miracoli, a jewel of Renaissance architecture adorned with splendid coloured marble. Five minutes away from the B&B is Campo Santa Maria Formosa (a 3-minute walk) with its beautiful church brimming with masterpieces of 1500s Veneto art and the Fondazione Querini Stampalia, seat of an important library and an interesting "museum house", beautifully restored by Carlo Scarpa and recently renovated anew by Mario Botta.
After a short walk among the narrow and charming lanes, St. Mark's Square will come into view in all of its spectacular beauty. The Procuratie demarcate the square and frame the splendid façade of St. Mark's Basilica, crowned by opulent Byzantine domes and spectacular mosaics; the light pink and crenellated Palazzo Ducale faces the historic Marciana Library and overlooks St. Mark's bay, a scenographic body of water: this is truly one of the most beautiful areas of Venice and the world!
The Rialto Bridge, located just around the corner from the hotel, has historically been the centre of commerce of Venice with the characteristic rows of goldsmiths and craftsmen that line the sides of the bridge from one bank of the Grand Canal the other.
At the foot is the colourful and celebrated fruit and vegetable market and a bit farther along is the busy fish market. You can browse through the stalls to find botoli and castraure (baby artichokes) and other vegetables locally grown on the Island of Sant'Erasmo, famous for its flavourful fruit and vegetables, plus moeche and masenete (hard and soft shell crabs), schie (lagoon prawns) and anguee (sandsmelt), pevarasse and caparossoli (lagoon and sea clams) are only some of the crustaceans and fish indigenous to the lagoon prepared and served by Ristorante Taverna San Lio.

Very central B&B, clean, comfortable mattress, super quiet room, simple but nice.
I also dined at the structure's restaurant and it was more than excellent, quality food, prepared with care and attention using excellent raw materials, excellent value for money and attention to dietary issues. The owners made us feel at home with courtesy, kindness, and availability. A place to come back to because it becomes a habit.

We had a really good time at this property. Excellent quality/price ratio and located just a stone's throw from the Rialto Bridge. Recommended for Venetian stays if you don't want to spend a fortune, having at your disposal a spacious room with a clean bathroom and a plentiful breakfast.

Long hair found on the towel, hairs in the bed, badly made bed with a very poorly tucked bedspread, air conditioner not usable because noisy like a tractor (sleepless night due to heat), and last but not least, non-functioning hairdryer! To be avoided.

We stayed for three days in the room above the Taverna San Lio restaurant. The managers are welcoming, helpful, and very kind, the room is very clean, the restaurant offers excellent dishes at a price absolutely adequate to the quality of the proposals. Overall, the quality/price ratio is excellent and, as an added value, we appreciated the flexibility shown towards check-in and check-out times. The young lady who welcomed us provided us, competently, with valuable information on what to visit in Venice that is truly appreciable. We will definitely return as soon as possible.

Triple room (we were 2 adults and 1 6-year-old girl) very bright and spacious, the bathroom with a comfortable shower box was also excellent. The fridge was useful to keep drinks cool.\n\nThe location and the value for money in the heart of Venice are truly the strengths of this B&B, 5 minutes from Rialto and 10 minutes from San Marco at a fair price! Also the vaporetto stops are close and only 2 stops from the train station for those like us who choose the train to get to Venice. Breakfast is served from 9.00 in the restaurant below (maybe a bit late for early risers but it was perfect for us!) breakfast only sweet with cakes and jam sandwiches. Also tried the restaurant for dinner, good and with prices in line with Venice. Very convenient in the evening after a whole day of walking to be able to arrive at the hotel and go down just one floor to have dinner without having to leave again or look for a place! If we return to Venice, we will definitely stay here again.

I stayed with my family at Taverna San Lio in mid-April. Extremely central location. Mrs. Rossella and all the staff were very kind. The room, despite having a new bathroom, was furnished in a basic way and the beds, especially, were old and uncomfortable. A special mention to the chef at Taverna San Lio, who managed to meet the needs of my celiac husband, serving us excellent dishes, and to the very competent waiter. Worth going back.

The room is nice and large, accessed directly from the street via a private entrance. Security is a bit lax as we found the other guests left the front door open on one occasion, despite plenty of signs saying to shut the door. There is another locked door internally before the room which also has a lock on it. Not sure what they can do to improve the door closing, maybe an automatic door closure fitting? The room was very warm, the air conditioning was not set up to work. Woke up dried out. Couldn't really leave the windows open during sleep due to random chatter and noise that goes on most of the night. Not loud but enough to disturb - maybe I'm a light sleeper. All in all a pretty good place to stay, would recommend.
