This B & B is absolutely beautiful and my boyfriend and I couldn't have imagined a better stay. On a whim, we decided to visit Venice on the last leg of our trip around Europe and knew we had to do so on a budget. When we found AL Canal B &B, Francesca responded immediately to our request and answered all of our questions up until our stay with her, which was so important to us as we had no cell phones and limited internet connections as we were traveling around Europe. Our room was gorgeous and large. The beautiful french windows opened RIGHT onto the canal! We were lucky enough to have a beautiful 5 sunny days, woke every day to the sun radiating right into our bedroom, and enjoyed a lovely italian breakfast every morning in Francesca's beautiful garden. We couldn't believe what an amazing deal we got, especially considering the Hilton is right across the street-probably at $400 a night! I can't describe in words how beautiful our little island was. Francesca showed us all of the sights to see in Venice, gave us a book and map to borrow and was the perfect host. It also was great because the large and newly renovated bathroom and bedrooms are private from the rest of the house, so we never felt like we were intruding on the daily lives of our host. The water busses were a breeze to figure out how to navigate and there were many stops that came to our island, which took us all over the city. We enjoyed our stay so much, we ended up booking an extra night! Overall, we had a wonderful experience at AL B&B Canal.
