Bed and Breakfast Residenza degli Angeli - Venice

Stay for four nights. Mario (owner) picked us up at vaporetto and gave helpful information. B&B located very central (10 min to Rialto Bridge). Small but delicious breakfast. We can recommend!

The staffwere very helpful.Went outof their way to help us during our stay. The room itself was small for 4 of us. Breakfast was good.Expensive stay overall. better deals available.

We had a wonderful stay at this B&B. We had a family of 4 so we rented the quad room with private bath, which was roomy and worked out well. The facility was clean and well maintained. The location is away from the main drag by a few blocks so we enjoyed quiet sleep and felt like we were experiencing Venice from the local perspective. This was my 3 rd visit to Venice, I have stayed in nice hotels on both ends of the Grand Canal but this was my favorit location so far. Mario was very pleasant and makes a good cup of coffee. Due to it's location you need to make sure you know how to get back to it when they give you directions pay attention.

Just came back from Venice from a three-day trip. Stayed 2 nights at this B&B, very cozy family run B&B. the owners are very helpful and friendly (in terms of showing us directions, places to dine and local pizza shops). will definitely return in the summer.

Fantastic ! I was travelling with all my extended family (we were 11) and we had booked Residenza degli Angeli for all of us. We had a perfect stay, we all found rooms were big and beds very comfortable. The owners Esmeralda and Mario have helped us a great deal finding our way in Venice and giving us all the information to plan our visits. We really recommend this place for a stay in Venice and we will definitely come again !

Welcoming friendly owner,who spoke good English and was helpful in orienting guests to area.

Very welcoming. Had a very pleasant stay. Remarkable we were able to find the B&B from thier website map.

Mario and Esmerelda could not have been more helpful and engaging. He was able to figure out a transportation schedule for us that enabled us to take an early-morning flight and thus gain a few more hours of time in the city. Without his help, I am not sure what we would have done. The location seems ideal: centrally located and easily accessible, yet tucked away on a quiet street.

It was a nice place to stay. My sister and I were travelling alone so we were a little worried about staying at someone's house, but there wasn't any type of problems. The people attending were very nice and the breakfast was great. I would go back to this B&B

Very welcoming and helpful host, quiet and peaceful location, recommended to everyone!!!

B&B is very nice and clean. Room was good size and attached bathroom was nice to have. Owner was very nice and helpful...saw her every morning and she was helpful with advice. The only issue we had was our bedroom was downstairs off the kitchen area and during breakfast it was loud, but we didn't mind too much. I would have used a fan to drown out noise if I had one with me, but it wasn't a big deal because we wanted to be up early enough to start our day in the beautiful city of Venice. I would stay here again. It's very nice for the price.

This is the best offer I found across my entire 4.5 months travels in Europe. The owners are local Venetians who make a significant effort to assist you in any way possible during your stay in Venice. Of the many restaurants they suggest to us (a list of 10 and map of where in Venice they are located), we tried 3 of them and ate phenomenally for a great price too! I would recommend Residenza degli Angeli to anyone looking for a great stay in Venice.

You cannot find it by yourself. You have to tell the time you will reach to the station to staff. Pick up service is necessary. It is not a hotel, so staff is not always there. It is B&B, but breakfast was not so good. You will hear the sound from corridor. Clean. Staff was friendly.

We were very satisfied with this accommodation. It was clean. The breakfast was delicious. The couple was friendly and gave good tips what to do in Venice and in the immediate vicinity. Nice area in the center of Venice. Not far away from Rialto bridge. Very nice!

This is a bed and breakfast, not a hotel. It is quaint and the owners are fantastic. It is a short walk to the Rialto Bridge, probably about 7 minutes. Note real easy to find but owner will arrange to meet you at the San Silvestro vaporetto stop. Breakfast was pastries, yougurt, juice and coffee. Nice way to start the day. Overall stay was great, I liked it much better than a hotel!

They were good hosts! Room was clean and new towels were provided on a daily basis! We shared the bathroom with others and it was bery clean! For breakfast dey served nice food! We are cofee lovers and we were provided with big cups of coffee! On our last day we had to check out at 12, our flight was at 10, he let us leave our bags in d kitchen! It was very nice of him!

I had been to Venive many times, what a lovely place to stay. Met by the owners mom at the water bus and was so looked after during our stay. Just like being at home. I will be back thank you

Wonderful experience for a first trip to Venice. The B&B is in what we decided was the coolest neighborhood in the city. Old, narrow streets very close to just about everything, yet off the tourist path and extremely quiet. We will definitely recommend this place! The breakfasts were fresh baked goods, tea, coffee, yogurt and juice. The room was small, but we expected that. Really we wanted a comfortable room in a great, centrally-located neighborhood where we could stage our itinerary of "getting lost." The inn was perfect for that. I will definitely recommend the inn to friends and family.

Mario was very accommodating after a mishap which forced us to arrive even later than our already late scheduled arrival time. The B&B was perfect for our needs and would recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and affordable place to stay in Venice. Wish we could've stayed longer!

Was a wonderful place to stay, would recommend it to anyone visiting Venice. Rooms have original Venetian floors and ceilings, furnished in old Venetian style. Our room was spacious, well heated & clean, with comfortable bed, and a good bathroom. Breakfast is simple but good. Pleasant owner, nice to talk to. The only possible problem could be finding the place, as it is a bit hidden in the maze of Venice. but on the other hand the ''hidden factor'' makes your nights tourist-noise free:) Highly recommendable!

Fantastic place. The place was nice and cozy, with very comfortable beds. The breakfast was excellent and the staff is fantastic. The only thing I can think about is the location. It is in the middle of Venice and since the town is a maze, we got lost every time we tried to go back to the hotel. Nevertheless, if you are like us and think that getting lost is a great way to know a place you will not mind at all. And it is never for more than 15 minutes anyway.

Clean and pleasant, with first-class, personal service including pickup at the vaporetto stop, assistance with getting around Venice, and restaurant recommendations.

Great place to stay, Mario and Esmerelda were very nice and welcoming and provided us with a map and told us places to eat. Also, Mario met us at the vaporetto and walked us back to the B&B. Location was convenient and walking distance to Santa Lucia Station, Rialto and St. Marks. Breakfast was great and the rooms were nice and clean. Would definitely stay there again.

Clean and comfortable bed and breakfast. Mario very informative about venice - met us at the vaporetto stop and gave us excellent directions. Also left us breakfast on last day as our flight left early.

Very nice place with quite rooms! Mario and Esmeralda were both very competent and welcoming!

Great place to stay! Mario was such a gracious host. He met us at the vaporetto stop and walked us to his place. He served us breakfast and treated us like guests in his home. We had a good conversation with him regarding Venice and it's clear that he loves the city and the way of life there. Very enjoyable time and would stay here again in the future.

Its Italy.. Nice, friendly and extremely service-minded. Daniel (son of owners) did a splended job. Good and useful information on Venice and very hospital and nice to be around with during breakfast. B&B when its best...

A reasonable choice for a short stay in an expensive city.

Esmeralda & Mario are good hosts & were extremely helpful in orientation of the place & places to visit in veniece. Rooms have split AC (Blessing), close to the water bus stand & not too far away from the cental railway station. Good chinese restaurant walking distance in case u r fed up of european food. In General value for money, Rates differ from weekdays & weekends.

My husband & I stayed here before we went on a 2 week cruise - excellent start!! Unfortunately we had a late flight but Mario met us - with a smile - at midnight by the vaparetto, he gave us clear instrucions on how to find the next day and we did!! Enjoyed the breakfasts and informal conversations. Mario recommended a local restaurant for our evening meal - excellent!!! Esmerelda was very helfull with questions and emails I sent before we left UK. Would love to stay again, we even took our friends back to show them where we had stayed when we returned to Venice 2 weeks later. The accommodation and area gives you a real feel of how the locals live - loved it!!!

The owner is a nice and welcoming Venetian man who gives a great deal of support to his guests. The rooms are clean,(but no shower gel or shampoo is provided) The B&B is located in a quite but central area of Venice. Great value for money. We did enjoy our stay quite a lot.

We enjoyed our stay at Residenza degli Angeli. The rooms are immaculate and the owners provide great advice along with excellent service. The B&B is located close to all of the major tourist attractions but in a quiet residential area.

Very friendly owner welcoming us upon our arrival. Location is a little hard to find, but pick up service can be arranged before hand. Located in one of the quiet residential area and away from all the touristic location gives you a different perspective into Venice. Room was spacious with a cozy setting.

I booked this B&B for its attractive location and price. When I get there I was also very pleased to find pretty comfortable room and to be welcomed by extremely nice people who talk my language (french) very fluently and who told me a lot about the city.

Whilst the frontage of the accomodation is not picturesque the rooms are very quiet well furnished and with comfortable beds.Mario and Esmerelda met us at the vaporetta and recommended excellent resaurants. They were generous in upgrading us on the first night without charge and allowing us to leave luggage on the final day. Breakfast was very good and their welcome and advice was most hospitable. We would most certainly stay here again. Excellent value for money. Thankyou.

We chose this B&B because of all the good ratings on Venere and we weren't disappointed. Esmeralda and Mario were charming hosts, and we enjoyed our three-night stay at the Residenza degli Angeli. Mario came to meet us (all you need is just to call him upon arrival) and carried my bag the whole way there. Esmeralda is also delightful; we enjoyed chatting with her at breakfast. They had lots of tips for restaurants and where to go to avoid the crowds, etc. Everything is within walking distance from the B&B and it was great to be able to return to the room at anytime of the day.

Excellent everything!

We stayed 2 nights in Venice. The couple was very nice and gave us advises what to see and where to walk in Venice as well as where to eat. The room was small but we were only there to sleep anyways and totally tired at night. Bed and Breakfast was very good although the location of the bed and breakfast could be drawn and described more clearly. We had problems finding it at night. It is adviceable to hand out a map how to get there with the small streets.

We very much appreciated Mario and Esmeralda's welcome and helpfulness with planning our stay. Mario kindly used his i-phone to access any information we needed. Continental breakfast comprised freshly bought bakery every day and a good oppotunity for conversation with our hosts and other guests. Highly recommended!

My adult daughter and I stayed here for 2 nights and had a wonderful time. Not having a mobile phone did make checking in a little difficult. Someone does meet you at the stop to walk you to the B&B. Very nice establishment and easy to find with a map. Close to all of the sights and our host was extremely helpful. We would highly recommend this to our friends and family.

The hosts Mario & Esmeralda were delightful. We were met at the waterbus and escorted to the house. Esmeralda went to great lengths to advise us on where to eat, where not to shop etc. Breakfast was ample and delicious and the hosts were more than happy to help us out on anything we wanted to know.

Though the price for this B&B were steep ... this was the best hotel that we had during our tour of Italy ... Though it is a tad difficult to find on your own .. Allesandro & his mother were kind enough to guide us to their hotel .. This was a perfect abode for the beautiful experience we had at Venice :)

A highly recommended place to stay if you want to have a quiet and nice stay in Venice. Both hosts (Esmeralda and Mario) are most friendly and helpfull. They won't hesitate to help you out if you need any advice on the visit and/or way of life of the city. They can recommend you a few addresses to dine. They can speak a lot of languages aside from the italian (english, spanish, portuguese and french !). When I'll get back to Venice in the years to come, I will certainly look to go back to "The House of the Angels"...

Beautiful and confortable, near to the center of Venice

The room was lovely, clean and decorated in a sumptuous style. I was particularly pleased with the en-suite facilities although a hair-dryer would have been an improvement. The welcome was good- the proprietor picked us up from the water-taxi stop, gave us good advice on where to eat and provided us with a map. I have been to Venice four times and never recieved this level of hospitality. The mosquitos were a problem; not the fault of the hotel, but I was annoyed that the mosquito-killer in our room was empty upon our arrival and that the maid failed to replace it even after I made a request. I had to make a second request before this was done. Not good. I also think that the air conditioner should have been under the control of the residents rather than pre-set to save money. In the middle of the night it became a choice of "window open mosquitos in" or "window closed and overheat" resulting in a terrible night's sleep either way. Breakfast felt uncomfortable because the proprietor would sit on the stairs and observe us all eating. We also noticed that yoghurts seemed to be handed out on a "first-come first-served basis" which seemed unfair and we kept missing out! Given that the price of food in Venice is so high, every morsel counts. Plus I obviously wasn't receiving the breakfast I had paid for. Overall the decor was nice in the rooms, but did seem to infantilize the guests somewhat with childish name plates on the doors and teddy bears in the room. I think a "do not disturb" sign on the door would have been well in order. Me and my partner felt very tense in the mornings getting dressed etc. because we didn't know whether the maid was going to walk in at any moment. The one "English language" television channel was dire and unwatchable; in fact it was American. This hotel failed to meet some basic needs such as privacy and sleep. I would not call this a 3-star experience: I have had better in Venice.

Pick up at the vaporetto station, warm welcome by owners and a lot of explanations. A recommendable location.

Mario - the owner was extremely welcoming.

Great place to stay, mario was an excellent host and spoke very good enlish, french and spanish.

Lovely little B&B in a quiet area of venice. enough space in rooms to be comfortable. air-con was much appreciated. hosts were very informative. bread rolls served at breakfast were a delight. overall a great place to stay. downside- bathroom on the small side, but had everything you need.

I was upgraded to a double room with private bath. Very clean and spacious accommodation in the heart of the city, and literally walking distance to most Venice attractions. Host was very helpful in planning my sightseeing, directions, maps - and accommodating in allowing me early check-in since the room was available. I will definitely come back and stay in this cosy, economical and centrally located B&B again..

Posto carino e molto confortevole.. Non molto grande ma non manca nulla, pulitissimo e i proprietari sono davvero gentilissimi. Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo!

This is a very familiar hotel. The owner is very very kind and before going to Venice he phoned us to know our arriving time and told us which "vaporeto" we had to take. Then he went to take us to the vaporeto stop. He also help us with the schedule of our departure and the buses that we had to take to leave the city. It is a little house 4 minutes walking from Rialto Bridge and 10 from Plaza San Marcos.It is very very clean. It has only 3 rooms and a hall were you can have breakfast. Our stay there was very good.

Our hostess met us from the water bus as it would have been very difficult to find without help the first time. She came equipped with spare wellis as the tide was high that day! The room was quiet and Our ensuite bathroom was clean. Our hostess pointed out things on a map and marked them for us which was very useful as were the half dozen restaurants she pin pointed for us where we would get a good meal without being ripped off - no 'tourist menues'. All these proved to be excellent eating places. Breakfast was basic - just juice, tea or coffee and fresh croissants and bread rolls. We had a lovely time and were pleased with the accommodation which turned out to be well situated. Our hosts were friendly and informative. They let us keep our luggage at the accommodation until the early evening on the day we left. As on most of the continent, there are no 'welcome trays' in the rooms so we always take a small kettle to make a drink when we need one.

Residenza is a great place to stay, but the price is a little high. The owners are wonderful - our flight was delayed by 6 hours but they still picked us up from the vaporetto at 2:30am, with a smile! They recommended a fantastic local restaurant, gave us a very good map and stayed to talk with us over breakfast each morning. I think I would stay there again. Thanks Esmerelda and Mario :)

Nice stuff, nice rooms... I really recommend this B&B; they make you feel like if you were at home.

A well located place owned by a nice couple ready to tell you what you want to know about Venice. The heating system is a bit noisy and the breakfast could be improved. Ask fo the bedrooms with view on the street.

I can recommend this place for everybody. big, nice furnish rooms, very clean and owners- professional and very helpfull.

It was a very nice stay and Mario and Esmeralda are wonderful. I've got many advices, they picked me up very kindly from the boat stop, and although I travelled alone I didn't feel like that at Residenza degli Angeli. I would return!

La Residenza degli Angeli corrisponde perfettamente alle descrizioni che compaiono sul sito: posizione centrale, camere pulite e spaziose, colazione abbondante, ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo. La gentilezza e l'ospitalità di Mario, proprietrio della struttura, hanno contribuito a rendere piacevole il nostro soggiorno.

We felt very comfortable and welcome at the Residenza degli Angeli. Great help was the brief introduction to the city and closer surroundings of the residence.

No-one there to meet us when we arrived. Had to phone and wait for their arrival. Dining room very small, this including a Lion Witch and Wardrobe cupboard which contained a fridge, sink and continental breakfast was prepared from this!!!!! No complaints on breakfast, fresh croissant, roll, yoghurt, tea or coffee and preserves - no butter.

This B&B is located in the quiet area. A bit differicult to locate by yourself but the owner, Mario, will give you a detail briefing after picking you up at the waterbus stop (strongly recommend the pick up). The room is spacious and clean, including bed sheet, towels, bathroom and the public area. I highly recommend this B&B.

Impossible to find, you absolutely must get a map from the owner - we left before receiving this email. We are like walking GPS and still got lost several times, even with the map. Otherwise, spacious room, nice host, very quiet area yet very central. Breakfast was good. Note shared bathroom, which I'm never a fan of at any price.

Esmeralda and Mario were charming hosts, and we enjoyed our one-night stay at the Residenza degli Angeli. Granted, it's Venice, so the room wasn't large and there were stairs to climb, but everything was immaculate, well cared for, and quiet. Breakfast was delicious and there was plenty; Esmeralda was kind about offering directions and touring suggestions. The location was great for exploring Venice by vaporetto or on foot, just a few minutes' walk to the nearest station or about 10 minutes to Rialto and the fish and produce markets.

Posizione buona: a pochi minuti da tutti i luoghi importanti ma appena defilata per poter avere sonni tranquilli. Accoglienza ottima: Mario ed Esmeralda sono amichevoli, rilassati e competenti e sanno consigliarvi come ottenere il massimo dalla loro città. Colazione essenziale ma comunque soddisfacente con unica pecca la mancanza dell'espresso.

Nice and professional hosts, they provide us with a warm welcome and lots of info/tips upon our arrival, including the 50cents Gandola tip. Room (double bed) is very clean with a beautiful view of a garden, and neighborhood is quiet but hidden in the complex street network, with the small map they provide we find our way back everyday.

Venice is very expensive overall. In this context, the price wasn't bad but in comparison with other locations, the prices overall are very high.

We only stayed for 1 day, but it was a very good experience. The B&B is in a quiet area and the room was spacious and confortable. Mario was an excelent host, he gave us some tips on were to eat and made us a full and good breakfast.

We were supposed to be met at the vaperetto stop, but due to miscommunication, nobody showed up. Despite the labyrinth nature of Venice, we are able to locate the B&B quite easily. The hosts were friendly and professional. Our only complaint was that the air conditioning turned off every night from midnight to 5 AM. This made it difficult, if not impossible to sleep.

Very pleasant place and people

Excellent service and location. Daniël made every effort to ensure a great stay. Perfect location to see Venice.

Wonderful to feel so much a part of Venice and feel so welcome. The room was great and breakfast tasty. We loved our stay.

Really great value and professionally run. Greeting service was most valued and confirmation and direct communication with operator gave assurance to arrival and location. Breakfast is fairly ordinary and very sugar based but that seemed common at this price range.

A charming B & B. Hard to find on your own, but we were met at a water taxi stop and led to the residence. Our luggage was also taken care of. Mario is an excellent host. There are many shops to browse, and the Grand Canal is nearby.

Wonderful stay. Clean and friendly. Got good tips from the owner on where to eat and where to visit.

I higly raccomend the Residenza degli Angeli. It is centrally located and very well priced. I would certainly return.

We had an excellent stay at Residenza delgi Angeli.Marco and Esmeralda were very welcoming and spoke English much better than our Italian. After meeting us from the Vaporetto they walked us back to the B&B.They were very helpful with places to go and visit and recommended places to see and eat at away from the crowds which was great for exploring Venice. Breakfast was good.I would recommend staying in this B&B to anyone wanting to visit Venice, we would stay there again. Very clean and nicely decorated.

The room was big enough,very clean,quite,bed ok.Tv has only 3 or 4 channels.Shared bathroom was no problem at all,there are only two rooms without bathroom,and two with.It is near Rialto-bridge,so you can walk easily to everywhere.The owner Mario recomanded us a few nice restaurants nearby.

Difficult to find first time but owner met us from vaporetti stop. We had to leave about 7.30am on the last morning. Breakfast was not availabile that early so the owners left us juice and crossiants. It would have been nice to be able to get some coffee too. No one was about so we left our payement in the room. The owner thoughtfully phoned us later that day to check that everything was OK.

An all-round great place to stay. Located in a very quiet area off the main canals in a residential neighborhood, but an easy walk to sights and canal transportation. Mario and Esmerelda are wonderful hosts, very informative and friendly. They will give you great advice on places to eat, places to see, and how to get around Venice. Rooms are quite comfortable and quiet. I would love to go back!

A beautiful hotel.would stay again.owners were wonderful,room was gorgeous,breakfast was amazing.

This was a great place to stay for both its location, price and the quality of the stay. I highly reccomend this to any budget traveler, they are great hosts, and the food was sufficient. I will stay here again when in the future.

Fantastic B&B! Cannot rate hosts highly enough. Mario came to meet us when we got lost trying to find it and carried my bag the whole way there. Esmeralda is also delightful; enjoyed chatting with her at breakfast. Very comfortable and welcoming.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Residenza degli Angeli. The welcoming was a unique experience and it was great to be sat down and told about so many parts of the city by someone who knows it so well. The location is brilliant and we found that we were literally a matter of minutes away from the Rialto bridge after coming across it by mistake! Everything is within walking distance from the B&B and it was great to be able to return to the room at anytime of the day just for a breather every now and again. The room itself was brilliant as well with a comfy bed, good shower/bathroom and a fast-acting air-conditioning system (especially needed if it's half as cold as it was when we were there!). For the price and location, the B&B does no wrong and I would highly recommend staying there.

This place is fantastic, the hosts Mario & Esmeralda were more than just helpful, they had lots of tips for restaurants and where to go to avoid the crowds etc

The owners of this B&B are lovely people- very friendly and helpful, pointing out areas on the map and giving great restaurant recommendations. Mario picked us up at the vaporetti stop so we wouldn't get lost (in Venice, you just get lost - once you accept this, you will be much happier! ...it was so true!). The room was comfortable, but word to the wise - even in mid-October the mosquitos will still eat you alive. We had to close our window after waking up with bites all over our arms and neck! That was a shame to do because I loved the fresh air and view. Our shared bathroom was sufficient, and we never had to wait for other people using it. The hot water in the shower stops after about 3 minutes; but what worked for me was turning the water off, and then turning it back on - and poof! a second dose of hot water which was plenty. The walls are thin though - a baby in the adjacent room kept us up most of the night. Breakfast is nice - we were served rolls, a filled croissant, yogurt, juice, and tea/coffee. I would stay here again.

Warm and friendly welcome. Nice room and small but clean bathroom.Good location near Rialto. Our hosts were most helpful and friendly. They both speak French, plus several other languages, which gives a "global" atmosphere to their warm B and B. We recommend this place and will certainly choose to go back there.

Owner was particularly helpful with places to go and things to do considering our short stay in Venezia. This is an excellent location, away from the crowds of San Marco.

We enjoyed staying at this B&B and we appreciated helpful owners, who told us some restaurants. they were surely good. The location is hard to find. It was no problem to reach B&B because a staff picked us up at the water-bus stop. But if you have a heavy baggage, it will become a big problem. You have to know that there are a lot of steps in Venice.

The room was very good- size, decor etc was more than satisfactory. I was disappointed with the bed frame, the mattress was supported by a spring underneath. This can be very uncomfortable for some guests like me who have a sensitive back. A bed to most travellers is very important to get a good sleep. However, what turned me off the most was the fact that the Airconditioners were turned off at 12 midnight till 5 AM and the host forgot to mention it to me earlier. When I called I was told that this is by LAW. This sounded absurd but even if that is the case, the rooms should be provided with a pedestal fan. To assume that guests will be ok without any form of air in the room for 5 hours is unfair. Some people can feel very suffocated. I however really appreciate the personal touch that the hostess bought to our stay and tried her best to help us make the most out of the 24 hours we had in Venice

We chose this B&B because of all the good ratings on Venere and we weren't disapponted. Mario and Esmeralda are great, welcoming people. They speak French and English, and they were able to tell us a lot about Venezia. Esmeralda provided us with a map and a lot of advices for the restaurants and places to go, and Mario gave us a lot of really useful infos about the city, places to see, where to go and what to visit. We stayed for a full week in the B&B and we were really happy. For once, the breakfast was really good, which is becoming rare these days. The room was small but really comfortable and decorated with taste. The bathroom was small too (but hey, we're in Venezia ^^, that's normal) but we had everything we needed and it was clean. Mario allowed us to let our luggages in the hotel on the last day and we were able to take these back just before we went to the airport, which is really nice :) We'll definitely stay there again !

Everything that's been said about the owners is true - they were the best part of the B&B and made our stay in Venice the best of all of the big cities we went to in Italy. Great conversations as they both speak great English (ask Esmeralda where to shop). The room and b/f was great too. We will definitely return here.

We stayed twice on our trip to Italy and would thoroughly recommend Residenza Degli Angeli. The residenza is in a quiet residential location, but only 10 minutes walk to the Rialto bridge, and only literally minutes to restaurants and shops. You can cross the Rialto and walk to St. Marks square in about 20 minutes. It’s easy to get lost in Venice when you first arrive, but the owner Mario met us at the vaporetto stop, S.Silvestro, and took us to the residenza. He also helpfully supplied us with a map and recommended some local places to eat and things to do. We ate in all of the places he recommended, and they were great, reasonable prices, different styles, and used by locals, which is always a good sign. We’ve stayed in two different rooms, both with private bathrooms. Both had tasteful Venetian style decoration, with lovely old style furniture and full air conditioning. The ground floor was smaller and cosier, while the second floor room was larger and had a view of the streets and a neighbours garden. Venetian streets are narrow, which makes the rooms darker than normal, but this wasn’t a problem. The residenza was quiet, though you have to expect some occasional noise from the shared bathroom upstairs. The owner Mario was one of the best things about it, so helpful and friendly, and good for conversation in the morning over breakfast. I had trouble with a painful wisdom tooth while I was there and Mario was extremely helpful and accompanied me to the pharmacy. We felt staying here gave as a better idea of Venetian life than other places would have.

This was a great B&B. Mario was very helpful and pleasant. We went to a Vivaldi performance in a church that we had found out about through the B&B. It was very pretty and close to everything. Also, you don't need to buy an extended vaporetto pass because the whole city is walkable.

Staying at Bed & Breakfast Residenza degli Angeli made our experience in Venice terrific. Mario went above and beyond our expectations. Our room was decorated nicely and sharing a bathroom was not a problem. I do not regret not having one of the rooms with a private bath. While it was easy to access the tourist locations, the hotel's location gave us the feeling of being off the beaten path. The rooms and bathroom were very clean and the breakfast was a nice start to our day. If we get the chance to return to Venice, we will be sure to stay their again.

We were delighted with the location, the welcome and particularly with our hosts. The room was also fine. We were on the ground floor next to the breakfast facilities and initially were concerned that it might be noisy but that was not the case. Esmeralda was a mine of information about the local area and we ate very well and very cheaply at restaurants used mainly by Venitians - amazing for Venice.

A charming place with very helpful owners.If you do not get the back room, which is for my taste too dark, the rooms are spacious, nicely furnished and just fine.

Nice place, very well located

Very nice place in the centre, people very very gentlement and always at your disposal. Normal Breakfast bread marmelate brioche ====================================== Bel posto in centro; persone molto gentile e sempre a disposizione (ti vengono a prendere alla fermata del vaporetto). Colazione normale pane marmellata brioche succo di frutta . Consigliato

We went for the first get-away for a long time. We wanted a cheap (in-expensive) place to stay in centre of Venice so we could return easily any time in the day; also somewhere that characterised Venice as much as possible; we also hoped for somewhere that was quiet at night. We found exactly what we were looking for. Also the owners were very friendly, providing us arrival details before we arrived and meeting us when we got there; and allowing us to leave luggage there on final day. Also they were very useful for local info and providing a local perspective. I was rather surprised, given how little it cost. Given the previous reviews I was expecting this place to be difficult to find, but given its closeness to Rialto bridge, once we got our bearings we could easily get back without even using a map - unusual in Venice! Definitely a bargain.
