Gina is a great lady and she was very helpful during my stay. The room is very clean and cosy. The location is excellent, second stop from train station on waterbus no. 2. I don't think you should expect to have fun in the bed and breakfast. Venice is enough fun in itself.

The lady who runs the place is lovely and friendly (though speaks very little English). The place is well sited and clean. The help yourself breakfast system is great. We could not have hoped for a better stay in Venice.

Happy Venice is one of the lesser-known treasures of Venice, offering excellent facilities at an affordable price. Gina's hospitality is exceptional. I'm already planning my return trip.

This place is very charming. If you are looking for the venice experience you will find it there. Gina the owner is a lovely lady and will do anything and everything to make your stay more enjoyable. Despite not speaking any english , she communicates perfectly. I reccomend this to couples...

Very nice B&B that is close to San Toma ferry stop. Lots to choose from for breakfast. Right next to a canal so great for people watching and also gives you a real feel for Venice. Very good value for money!

Excellent for a quiet retreat from the bustle of the city. Gina the hostess is gracious and obliging, even let me use the laundry (and also very hands-off once she's shown you the place). I'd go back like a shot.close

Gina is just lovely and leaves you to it. There are plenty of little extras to make it feel special. The room was just beautiful. Big double bed, two windows overlooking a canal and big wardrobe with robes and plenty of clean fresh towels. Breakfast was self service meaning you could get up when you like and have what you like. Location is brilliant - about 10 minutes easy walk to the Rialto bridge. I'd recommend this B&B to anyone.close
