Our stay at Alloggi Maria, Room 1 was excellent in every way; we recommend it highly:
Room is very spacious, comfortable, immaculate, quiet. Airy and light.
Great location & neighborhood - We felt like locals, tucked away from all of the tourist crowds, but only steps away from all of the places we wanted to visit. Close to train station (only 1 bridge to cross) and Piazzale Roma - perfect for getting into and out of Venice easily, as well as catching a vaporetto for a quick trip down the Grand Canal.
Lots of wonderful local restaurants, bakeries, coffee houses nearby.
Easy walk to San Marco and all of the tourist attractions. (And you get to discover all of the enchanting, hidden little neighborhoods, squares, shops and beautiful churches along the way.)
And we need to mention Maria's AMAZING breakfasts, which she delivers to you at the time you indicate. Great coffee, and especially the croissants with marmalade are to die for!
Maria speaks mainly Italian, but we were able to communicate just fine with her. She did everything she could to make sure we were comfortable and satisfied, responding to every need promptly and graciously.
Thank you very much, Maria, for helping to make our trip to Venice so memorable. When we return, we look forward to staying with you again.
