9.1

best value in Venice for travellers on a budget.

Nicola owns this B&B and he was awesome. Venice is a maze, no matter where you stay ... but he made sure to meet us at the water taxi, walk us to the B&B and point out landmarks for us to remember. It was a wonderful location - very quiet, and they have a great local neighborhood bar and a restaurant that we enjoyed each night we were there. Nicola also helped to arrange a private water taxi for us when we were leaving, as we had to head out at 5:00 a.m. when the regular water taxis weren't running yet. Nicola was wonderful with great stories of his grandfather and great recommendations for us. The location of the B&B was in a nice quiet neighborhood, and about a 10 minutes walk from St. Marks. As easy to get to as anything can be in Venice. The water taxi stations were close by. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and Nicola made things very easy for us. Would definitey stay there again !

The hotel is in a quiet area of Venice, but close to the public transport and the city centre. The patron was very friendly and hospitable. The room was clean, quiet and nicely furnished. I would certainly recommend this B&B to other travellers.

Highly recommended........Nicola was "above the call of duty" in assistance to a couple of tired tourists.His meeting our vaporeto [sp?] on arrival and escorting us during the first few hours were of GREAT help! Would we stay again?....in a heartbeat! Thanks again Nicola.

Group of four female adults (mothers and daughters. Nicola was an extremely good host. Venice can be rather confusing at first but Nicola had a very good knowledge of the city and how best to get around. He recommended some excellent restaurants and given that we were four females, he checked in on us every evening to see how our day went and whether we needed his assistance with our following day's itinerary. He was always available. We liked the location because it was not in the tourist area but within easy walking distance of the Grand Canal, San Marco Square and other water bus stops.

Wonderful location, considerate and helpful staff, and pleasant rooms make Oceano Mare the perfect place to stay in Venice. We will return!

El hotel estupendo, íntimo, muy bien situado. Lo mejor, las atenciones de Nicola y sus recomendaciones sobre restaurantes y zonas a visitar. Es un hombre realmente encantador y nos sentimos muy a gusto todo el tiempo que duró nuestra estancia. Sin lugar a dudas volveremos.

We received exactly what we needed. Although we arrived early morning before the room was ready, we were allowed to take shower. This was a real relief after 10 hours of night train ride. Nicola ( the owner ) explained me how to use coffee machine, so we could take tea or coffee in the afternoon when we came back from long walk through the town. The quality of breakfast was good. I think Nicola is paying attention to the taste and quality of the food he puts on the breakfast table.

9.5

a truly wonderful welcome from an extrmely helpful host

9.7

We couldn't have felt more welcome. Nicola is one of the kindest and most likeable people we met on our trip. The B & B is quiet, comfortable, clean and situated within nice walking distance from the centre. Good value.

9.2

We became lost trying to find Oceano Mare, but we rang Nicola, who met us & helped with our cases. The rooms were comfortable, the breakfast was very good & Nicola, the owner,very helpful with information. We were close to the waterbuses and within walking distance of Piazza San Marco. Excellent!!

9.2

We would definitely recommend this small B&B to our friends & family. Rooms are new and it is very clean and the personalised service and helpful traveller hints (on coin laundry and places to see/eat etc.) provided by the owner (Nicola) is excellent. The Continental Breakfast was one of the best we experienced on our Europe trip. Overall great value for money considering the cost of other places in Venice.

9.2

My wife and I enjoyed staying at OM. Nichola was a gracious, enjoyable and helpful host. The location was very good and was quiet.

9.8

Really nice bed & breakfast with comfortable, tasteful, clean rooms and very friendly hosts. Didn't find any fault with this B&B.

8.4

Wonderful find hidden in the streets of Venice. Nicola is fantastic. He welcomed us warmly and helped us with all our needs. The two rooms were a nice size and we were even served a generous breakfast to our room. Nearby are cheaper and less touristy restaurants. It is a bit of a challenge to find your way through the lanes to the main area, but Nicola makes sure you are successful and once you figure it out, it takes about 5 minutes to Arsenale and another 5 minutes to San Marco square.

We were more than happy with this B & B, its location and the owners who were amazing!! They really could'nt have been more helpful!! Venice is an absolutely fabulous city and we would definately go back to the Oceano Mare if we went again!! We stayed in a delightful double room which was spotlessly clean as was the bathroom. Its a 10 - 15 min walk from the Vaperetto stop and we found it very easy to follow the map they supplied! We just loved it, it was "home from home"!!

9.9

To describe this place in 4000 few words is an impossible task. The main attraction of this place was Nicola(the owner) who is the loveliest person you can meet,he is kind, welcoming and very freiendly.He made us feel so welcome that we felt we were in our own home. He patiently explained the map and always answered our questions. The room was beautifully furnished and the bathroom was clean and brandnew. The staff cleaned the rooms everyday and we always returned to a sparkling clean room and bathroom. Breakfast was generous and the location was fabilous as it was only a five minute walk from St.Mark's Square and all forms of public transport. We are so happy about the choice we made and if we go to Venice again we will definitely go straight to the beautiful Oceano Mare and wonderful Nicola.

9.6

Fuimos muy bien recibidos por Nicola, que nos fué a recoger al Vaporeto. Recien llegados nos indicó cómo movernos por la ciudad y los sitios menos típicos pero recomendables de la ciudad. En general un Bed&breakfast muy recomendable. Una vez ubicado puedes perderte en alguna callejuela, pero es facil volver al sitio. Además está muy cerca de todos lados. Aproximadamente está a unos 35 minutos de la estación de tren y a Diez de San Marcos.

8.9

Great place to stay away from crowds and quite close to transport systems. Owner very helpfull.

9.3

Venice is very expensive so finding a bed and breakfast like oceano mare was just a blessing!!!! reasonable price for an excellent service, location and quality. All the explanations received from Nicola were really useful and he showed us non touristic places in Venice!!! Thanks!!! it was our honeymoon and it was brilliant in Oceano Mare

9.8

Our host Nicola was extremely welcoming and helpful. Since we booked a "superior" room, we were served breakfast in our room every morning. Wow! And the breakfast was very generous. Since we stayed in the middle of the Costello neighborhood, and our room fronted on the street, it could get noisy at times, but it was just the noise people make living their lives. Overall we had a wonderful experience and would stay here again in a heartbeat.

8.8

Accueil adorable, chambre agréable et quartier calme peu touristique... Une très bonne adresse !

10

Our stay in Venice was fabulous, especially thanks to Nicola in Oceano Mare Rooms (we had the superior room). Everything was perfect and we have already recommended his address! In the future, sure we will come back to Venezia which is fantastic, and we will come back to Oceano Mare : why changing when everything is perfect ?

9.8

Very nice owner, friendly people, very new clean rooms, not far away from hot spots. We recommend it to everyone who wants to go to venezia. We will go there again on our next trip to venezia.

10

What a fabulous B&B! Nicola was a wonderful host and the place was in a quaint section of Venice... we would go back in a second. There was much more room inside than I anticipated and the place has just been renovated within the last year - very clean and cozy. There are stairs, so one must be comfortable with that.

10

nice!

9.9

This was our first port of call on our holiday and it was great. Nice to stay a little bit away from the very busy tourist area of Venice and where locals lived. Nicola the host was a very helpful particularly with directions. The accommodation is easy to find if you stick to the directions. The room was spacious and airy particularly for European standards. Bed good with extra pillows.

9.9

We stayed for 3 days in Oceano Mare and we were surprised by the warm welcome, the tips for exploring Venice, the quality of the rooms, the friendly prices of the minibar. We had a very, very pleasant stay and we would recommend this place to anyone.

9.5

We had a very pleasent stay (one week). We can strongly recommend this accomodation. Everything, the room, the beds, the bathroom, including all the details, was perfect. Many thanks to Nicola and Armida for there warm hospitality.

9.1

A great place to stay in a fab part of venice..i can not recommend it too hightly...The owner is very friendly and imformative and can recommend local restaurants and also interesting places to visit..

10

Way off the beaten path, but who wants to be near the throng of tourists anyway? The nice thing is that it's just a short walk to Piazza San Marco and the Arsenale vaporetto stop. Nicola is a great host that is quite helpful. The place IS a little hard to find the first few times, but once you get the hang of it, it's a piece of cake. You'll feel like a local in no time. You can hang out at the local pub in Campo Do Pozzi and order a "spritz" (a local wine cooler type drink). A tip: If you are at the Arsenale stop and walk AWAY from Piazza San Marco, following the island's coast, you will find a street filled with important things like an affordable convenience store and relatively cheap restaurants. There are less tourits out this way I suppose. Just walk south towards the Giardini and when you cross over the second bridge (less than 5 minutes walk from Arsenale stop), you will see a big street that cuts into the island. Follow it and you will find a COOP supermarket with water and foods at local prices. Anyway, Oceano Mare is definitely recommended for the room size, the great air conditioning, and the "I'm a local" location. Down side: tiny bathroom. Very new, clean and shiny, but very tiny. The room is huge (actually it's a bedroom & small living room) so that makes up for it. Definitely recommend and definitely our first choice on our return to Venice someday.

8.6

Overall, our stay at the Oceano Mare was wonderful. The owner was very hospitable and accomodating and let us use the main phone line and internet whenever we needed it. For the price, the hotel is a great place to stay in Venice and would recommend it to others.

8.6

I've stay at Venice for 2 days with a double bed at Ocean Mare. It is close to St. Marco Plaza with 15 mins walk. The map provided by Ocean Mare is excellent.

9.6

On our trip through Italy, we stayed at 3 different bed and breakfasts on different locations (one in Rome, one in Firenze and Oceano Mare in Venice), all booked using venere.com. Compared to the other bead and breakfasts, Oceano Mare is without doubt the number one! The owners excell in hospitality and are very helpfull and honest. The rooms are cosy and spacious, quiet and clean. The breakfast offered was more than one could wish for. We really would recommend this bed and breakfast to everyone who are searching for a nice and affordable place to stay in Venice. Thanks Nicola for making our stay so enjoyable and for all the help and good care!!

10

Overall we enjoyed our stay very much.The B&B is a good address for people who want to stay in the neighbourhood of real Venetians and who don`t worry about walking. Again, we enjoyed it very much and we would book it again.

9.7

We were heartly welcomed - even as we arrived close to midnight. Nicola came to pick us up from the station!! Everything was fine. We would like to thank him once again for the great time we had in Venice - especially at the Oceano Mare! Gracie!

9.9

This was my second time in Venice and Oceano Mare was a great, Nicola the owner was super friendly, he sat we us and explained the way out and back from the hotel to de differents point of interest, gave us a map and tips about restaurants, he also picked up us when we didn´t find our way to the hotel because of some reparations that was taking place in a bridge. Great experience I really recomended it

8.4

We would it prefer, if there are fresh rolls at breakfast!

9.9

It is a great little B&B, very nice and quiet. Nicola, the owner is very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately I had to cut my stay short because of family emergency and Nicola went really above and beyond trying to help me in this situation. I would definitely recomend this establishment

9.9

Fantastic place, fantastic price. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

8.9

It is a rebuilt house in the centre of Venice. Rooms are more than big and the owner was really friendly and attent.
