We had a lovely stay at Marta’s b&b :)
Really easy to get to from Marco Polo airport- just hop on ACTV No. 5 bus to Piazzale Roma which is approx 30 mins. From there get water bus 5.1 to Giardini which is about 5 mins walk away from b&b. Would recommend getting a 48 or 72 hour pass for the water bus in the airport (get the little bit more expensive ones that include the bus travel to the water bus as well)- you just validate it when you get on the first bus by holding it near the machine, and then do the same every time you get on each water bus. Makes life so much easier. If you’re between 25 and 30 there’s a small discount- around €6.
You are right by a little canal so a lovely view from the window. It’s also very quiet as well so if you want peaceful then this is your place.
The room was very spacious, and very clean. Towels, shampoo, shower gel, soap, face cloths, bedding, toilet paper all included. There’s a safe in wardrobe if you need to keep anything safe. The room gets cleaned every day by 11 after breakfast as well. Bed is also very comfy too with 2 pillows each.
Breakfast was lovely, and comprised off: croissants, biscuits, a few different choices of cake, yoghurt, cereal, fruit plate, orange or tropical juice, tea or coffee, bread rolls, Nutella and jams, milk. Very nice, and sets you up for the day.
Everything is nearby using the water buses. San Marco is a hop, skip and jump from Giardini stop and you will find plenty of sights and good restaurants nearby as well. You can jump on a water bus to Murano (glass makers island) from Giardini too and is definitely a must see.
Our flight was delayed and in the evening- but we had a code for the outside door, and Marta left our keys hanging in our bedroom door so we could find it. Late check ins seem to be fine.
We loved staying here, and will definitely be back again. Thank you so much for having us :)
