Il Giardino di Giulia

A wonderful experience and a generous host. The b&b is very chic and Marco is a very attentive host. He spoiled us with fresh bread and pastries baked by him, eggs how we like them and many more! It was a pleasure to chat with him, as we got to know insights in the Venetian way of life. Will happily come back here!

This place is a gem! The room was clean with lots of character, comfortable bed, nice bathroom and we loved our stay. My favorite part of our stay was having breakfast with our host Marco, eating his homemade food and having delightful conversation. My wife and I have agreed that Marco's is the only place we will stay at in Venice going forward.

Our stay with Marco made our trip to Venice. I have never had such a caring, thoughtful and kind service in a bed and breakfast. Marco's breakfast is delicious and we could stay and chat all day. We were so grateful for Marco's knowledge and tips for navigating Venice. The bed and breakfast is perfect, so many lovely touches, perfect cleanliness and so comfortable. Within walking distance of everything you could need. We would love to come and stay again please Marco!

Everything from the room, the location, the breakfast to the host Marco, was great. This B&B is a hidden gem and all around a pleasure to stay at. I highly recommend!

A hidden gem! We recently had the pleasure of staying at Il Giardino di Giulia and we cannot say enough about this wonderful experience! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality that made us feel comfortable and right at home. The room was impeccably clean, tastefully decorated, and offered the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. Waking up to a delicious homemade breakfast was a daily highlight – fresh ingredients and beautifully presented was a wonderful way to start each day. The quiet cozy room with personal touches and a fabulous host truly made our stay special. Marco went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, offering great recommendations for local eats and also provided a lot of information/history. Marco's place is less than a ten minute walk from the train station and central enough to get anywhere by foot. His place does have stairs to the room and then another set of stairs to the breakfast room, so keep that in mind if you are unable to navigate stairs. Fabulous stay and only wished we lived closer to make this a regular stay! Thank you very much Marco!

Great stay. Very close to the train station and in a nice area close to restaurants but not too crowded. Marco was an excellent host and breakfast was lovely. Thank you Marco.

Very friendly host, gave lots of great tips. Best, healthy breakfast ever - all self-made. Location great. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

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.

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.

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!

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 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.

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.

The host is great, friendly and helpful. Breakfast is plentiful and very delicious. The location is near the train station.

Very nice bed and breakfast. Marco is a very attentive host. Fluent in 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".

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

"Il Giardino di Giulia" is a very cute, little B&B in the heart of Venice, not far 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.

Perfect B&B, great location and wonderful host.

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 breakfasts were delicious and set us up for our two days of sightseeing. Could highly recommend.

Great place and host. Absolutely 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.

Marco is a very beautiful person. I highly recommend him.

It was a pleasure to stay with Marco. It is a very nice place, well located in Santa Croce. He will make you discover breakfasts his way for your greatest happiness. The room was perfect for 4 nights. Close to the Grand Canal (1 minute), the train station is nearby (5 minutes) as well as Piazzale Roma (10 minutes) and Rialto (10 minutes), you will be able to discover Venice and its treasures under the expert advice of an adorable Venetian!

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

Magnificent stay. Marco is a most charming host.

I had an excellent stay; Marco, adorable and very cultured, gives very good advice - especially for restaurants serving authentic Venetian cuisine. A very pleasant bed & breakfast, quiet, well located: an address to remember.

Excellent stay at Il Giardino di Giulia. The B&B is very well located: ideal for walking to the city, or a stone's throw from the vaporetto if you're a bit tired. Our room was very well equipped. It overlooked a small garden, and was therefore very quiet.

A very nice meeting with Marco the owner. Charming B&B decorated with taste. Very calm and warm. Superb homemade breakfast.

Bed and breakfast very well located, very nice owner, very welcoming and polyglot, excellent breakfasts, all this in a dream city, in short, I don't think we can find better in Venice.

We are delighted with our stay, comfortable and very clean room and bathroom, hearty breakfasts. The Garden of Giulia very welcoming, speaks French and gave us a lot of advice.

Very warm welcome, quality accommodation and ideally located. Very attentive host, providing excellent advice for visiting Venice and good addresses for dining. Very abundant breakfast. Very good address that we keep preciously for a future stay in Venice. Thanks again Marco.

Excellent welcome with Marco in the kitchen for a homemade breakfast with quality products and homemade bread. Warm recommendations for the list of visits and exhibitions in Venice and for good typically Venetian restaurants. Very well-kept room, quiet and away from the hustle and bustle in a typical neighborhood of authentic Venice and 5 minutes from the station and 10 minutes from the Rialto and 50 meters from the Grand Canal. To be recommended both for its location and the quality of our host. Exceptional at this price level.

I changed my BnB at the last moment to be closer to the city center and I was not disappointed. The welcome was fantastic. The room was very clean and spacious. The breakfast was plentiful. The BnB is located in the center of Venice, 10 minutes from St. Mark's Square. I will come back to this BnB on my next trip to Venice. I highly recommend it.

Very nice room, very clean and with a beautiful view of the green courtyard! Very quiet! Extremely friendly host, great breakfast!! I will come back!

Very nice host, beautiful room, very well located, highly recommended.

Ideal B&B to experience the atmosphere of Venice. Marco is a great host, always helpful, provides excellent tips and most importantly engaging conversations. Starting the day perfectly with a lovingly prepared breakfast. The room with a bathroom and a view of the church's garden is equipped with everything you need. Super clean and above all very quiet, allowing you to sleep with the window open at night. We will gladly come back :-)

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!

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.

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 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.

Great location, Marco is a very nice host of the B&B and provided us with many insider tips for Venice. Nice room and good breakfast. Will recommend the accommodation.

The place is great, everything perfect, Marco is an excellent host. The breakfast is great and the room is excellent.

Marco the manager is a lovely person. He doesn't need improvements. The structure has some details to fix.

We had a great time and were equally well received by Marco. The room is spacious, well-furnished, and quiet. It is in a strategic location not far from the station. Additionally, Marco's breakfasts are spectacular, all first-quality products. We highly recommend it.

Strategic location just a few steps from the station and the vaporetti. Very cozy, clean, and quiet room. No external noises are heard despite the presence of some local establishments. Very sociable and kind manager.

Giulia's garden is a delightful B&B located in a central area not far from the station. The room and the breakfast room are furnished with great finesse and attention to detail, and every element is chosen carefully. Marco is an exceptional host: his breakfasts are exquisite and his natural friendliness, combined with great kindness, creates a warm and cheerful atmosphere from the very beginning. Always available to give advice and lend a hand, he makes guests feel at home. It's no surprise that his guests choose to return to him for their stays, and we too have no doubts about where to stay during our next visit to Venice.

Wonderful experience: really special B&B, tastefully decorated and full of interesting ideas (from cinema to music). It was a pleasure to meet our host Marco, thoughtful and welcoming, who literally spoiled us by preparing fairy-tale breakfasts for us every day. We will definitely be back, we can't wait :)

Very welcoming accommodation, in true and authentic bed and breakfast style. Marco, the manager, is a very pleasant, available person and attentive to details. Moreover, the location allows you to be in the heart of Venice but not in the chaos. I highly recommend it.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

pellois rated this property but he didn't leave any comment

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.

We stayed from 16 to 18 June and I can only say it was superb. Strategic location, quiet even though central but above all the welcoming and service make the difference! Very clean, excellent breakfast, abundant and delicious and then a great added value, the owner Marco who welcomed us as friends rather than guests, friendly and cordial in short we had a great time! We highly recommend it.

We stayed two nights at this lovely Bed & Breakfast in the center of Venice. Convenient for its proximity to the station and starting point for our walks in the 'Calli'. Managed by Marco, a more than hospitable person, who made our weekend even more enjoyable.

Very pleasant stay at Il Giardino di Giulia, made even more special by the excellent Marco! Very kind, very helpful and professional. And his pies are excellent.

Tranquility, hospitality, availability, family atmosphere, excellent breakfast, good sleep, very strategic location.

Excellent, highly recommend. Very clean rooms and thorough cleaning, located very close to S. Lucia station. Fantastic breakfast. The manager is a very welcoming person.

Excellent accommodation for single travelers and couples. Good value for money. Excellent location close to St. Mark's Square and close to Piazzale Roma. Perfect for those arriving by train. Friendly and helpful manager. If I were to return to Venice, I would stay here again.

Venice has remained in my heart, I will definitely come back. A hug and thanks for everything. Goodbye.

A beautiful holiday, thanks also to Marco, for his kindness and availability. The location is great (city center easily reachable on foot and public transport stops and train station very close by). The breakfast is fantastic, all fresh, organic, and with many delicacies prepared by Marco. At breakfast, everyone gathers together and gets lost talking with Marco, a truly pleasant and excellent company person. Our room (Marcello) is tastefully furnished, bright, quiet, and always perfectly clean! What can I say..a perfect holiday, made even more beautiful by choosing this accommodation! I highly recommend it to everyone!

giulia rated this property but he didn't leave any comment

I was lucky to find this place because I booked 2 days before in the peak of the holiday season. I didn't expect to feel so good. I couldn't have found better because: - It is really just a stone's throw from the station and easy to reach. - The room I had was themed "rock", very nice and clean, maybe a bit noisy since there is a bar downstairs, but it was still pleasant to listen to people speaking the Venetian dialect! - The breakfast is delicious and cared for in every detail thanks to Marco who prepares everything with love, you can see it ;) - The manager, Marco, is a very kind and helpful person who gives you all the tips to visit the city at its best. I recommend it to everyone, and if I have to come back to Venice, I will definitely return here! Thanks also to Marco for the welcome.

Great location, very nice and clean room, Marco is a welcoming and helpful person who takes care of guests and personally manages the house. Organic breakfast with products cooked by him. Only small flaw the lack of air conditioning in a hot but always beautiful Venice. I will definitely come back to this delightful B&B.

A magnificent stay. Everything was truly splendid. The location is perfect for its proximity to the station (really just 5 minutes on foot) and the main departure points for the boats that take you to various points in Venice itself and the nearby islands. An optimal position also for those who want to explore Venice on foot. The manager is of a unique cordiality and kindness, I have never found anything like it in my travels: he makes you feel at ease right away, maximum availability. I highly recommend it and hope to return soon.

Excellent in every aspect.

I found myself not well, but even better. The rooms show the passion with which they were made. The cleanliness is excellent, and I work in the healthcare field. The products are organic. The owner is very available, very nice, and very professional. In short: go there. Thank you Marco, see you next time.

Excellent location for those arriving by train, just 5 minutes from the station. Marco, with his friendliness, availability, and local stories, really makes you feel more at home than on a trip. The property is clean and welcoming, original, and well cared for in details and furnishings, a result of research and a sign of undeniable taste. The breakfast is abundant with organic and healthy products. Great value for money. Thumbs up.

The manager was extremely available, very quick to come and pick people up at the station, and allowed us to leave our luggage on the day of departure and stay in the house for the pickup. Great advice on finding the right places to eat and drink! Definitely follow him.

We have never been better in any structure visited so far. The manager made us feel at home right away, welcoming us and our dog with the utmost availability. The neighborhood where the structure is located is ideal for visiting the whole city as it is in a non-central position, but a short distance from both the docks for the islands and the city center. The cleanliness is maximum, the rooms are tastefully furnished with stylish furniture. Breakfast is always different, delicious, and totally organic. In the room, there is an electric kettle and a wide selection of teas, infusions, herbal teas, as well as soluble ginseng coffee. Additionally, there are always organic fruit juices in the minibar, and on the small table, the owner always leaves some sweet snacks, which makes every return to the room even more pleasant. The passion and dedication with which Marco manages his structure truly makes the stay in this bed and breakfast special, highly recommendable even to those traveling with their pets. You can be sure that whoever welcomes your four-legged friend does so out of absolute love for animals, sincere and evident, not for business purposes. In fact, no extra fee is requested for the stay of pets. Although we had mentioned that we would bring our bowls, Marco had two waiting for us in the room, which we always found clean upon our return. It is difficult to find a bed and breakfast where the bed is made every day, and the room is clean. The detergents used are also eco-friendly. We will definitely return, as we have already told Marco, whom we now consider a family friend. The same goes for his partner, who we have not seen too often because she is busy with her work as an architect, whose touch is noticeable in the decoration of the spaces. Last but not least, the structure, completely renovated, is equipped with insulation to ensure the least possible thermal dispersion, so the room is always warm in winter even if the heating is off. Those who are more sensitive to cold can still adjust the heating to their liking. The aforementioned insulation makes the rooms evidently fresh in summer. For this reason, the ceiling fan is sufficient. Truly the best.

The hospitality was exquisite, like a friend welcoming you into their home rather than a hotelier. At breakfast, aside from the excellent homemade tart, there were many useful tips about staying in Venice. Thank you Marco! Fabio and Angela.

Excellent location, characteristic and romantic place. Easily reachable and the owner is a very kind and friendly person. I recommend it.
