We stayed here for a week on the recommendation of Venetian friends. We're so glad they let us into the secret of Oltre in Giardino, which hides behind a neat little gate by an unremarkable sidebar canal opposite the Frari church. The little garden is a beautiful oasis in one of the busiest corners of town, and we had great... More

We stayed at this lovely spot last May/ June 2013. We had rented a flat in Florence and took the train up for 5 days. Illaria couldn't have been more helpful as well as gracious. The morning breakfast was a delightful surprise taken in the garden. Our room was 2 twin beds, immaculate and beautifully appointed. Everything about this place... More

Have just returned from the hotel. The best hotel I have stayed at in Venice. The courtyard garden is beautiful for breakfast and for a quiet sit. The staff cannot do enough for their guests and are always polite and helpful. The rooms are very good and well proportioned. The only thing I would like is a kettle in the... More

Oltre Il Giardino served as our calm oasis in the middle of Venice. While our visit was not at high tourist season, the city was gearing up and was moderately crowded. The small hotel, located in a quiet residential neighborhood, was a delightful retreat! The environment is artfully simple and creative, so the ambience is great but, what really bowls... More

Our fifth stay at this wonderful small hotel - coming back next September. Staff is wonderful. We especially like the quiet location and the fact that almost anything you want to see and do in Venice is quickly accessible. Kudos to all.

This hotel is an exceptional one. You will find a really little hotel (wich offers friendly and personal attention) with a very wide, clean and quiet room. Every room is like a mini-siuite, fully equiped, confortable and modern. The breakfast in the garden is nice experience before a new day starts, visiting Venize.

Can only endorse what others have said, this is a fabulous place. The staff are particularly friendly without being intrusive and all the shared areas and our room were spacious and tastefully furnished. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return soon.

Lovely rooms, absolutely delicious breakfasts, incredibly helpful and polite staff, just fab and a very special place for my Birthday. I cannot recommend it highly enough. It is not too far from the bus/train station to walk 15mins max, you can take a water taxi. But we enjoyed walking through the streets as we arrived.
