We loved Alessandro's B&B. Alessandro is a charming host who obviously cares deeply about his B&B, about Venice, and about giving his guests the best experience possible. He found out what we wanted to do and gave us excellent advice about how to do it. His directions were exact (not always the case in Italy, we found).

His breakfasts were wonderful. The presentation was lovely and the food was delicious.
The location in Cannaregio is great. Close to the train station, so it's easy to reach with luggage, and a little off the beaten track. But less than a 15 minute walk to the Rialto Bridge, and the local restaurants Alessandro recommended were much more reasonably priced than those in San Marco and superb. We especially liked the Gam Gam, a Kosher restaurant just around the corner from the B&B, which was a nice change of pace.
All in all, we were delighted with the B&B.
