AL CAMPANIEL BED AND BREAKFAST, Venice

The B&B sits on a pedestrian street just one minute from the Grand Canal and within a short walk to San Tomà vaporetto stop, giving direct water-bus access to the Rialto Bridge, St. Mark's Square, and other landmarks. The Santa Lucia train station is about 15 minutes on foot, and Piazzale Roma (the car and bus terminal) is 12 minutes away on foot. For the cruise port, walk to Piazzale Roma (15 minutes) then take the People Mover suspended train for a 2-minute ride to the check-in area (smaller cruise boats only). The neighbourhood around Campo San Tomà has supermarkets, bakeries, and several restaurants, with less tourist density than the city centre.

Superior rooms offer an en-suite private bathroom inside the room and a window facing the pedestrian street. Standard rooms have a private bathroom located about three metres from the room. The family suite comprises one double bedroom, a bathroom accessible through the living room, and two single sofa beds in the living area, sleeping up to four adults. All rooms include air conditioning, heating, a flat-screen TV, a minibar, an electric kettle, an in-room safe, and ironing facilities. The décor is dated with carpeted floors, and some lower-floor rooms may feel darker. The property is non-smoking throughout and offers cots for babies upon request.

Breakfast is included in the room rate and offers a rotating spread: pastries, bread rolls, cold cuts and cheese (served per person), yoghurt, fresh fruit, cereals, and coffee/tea. No hot dishes are cooked, making it a straightforward continental buffet. The rooftop terrace, decorated with potted plants and overlooking Venetian rooftops, is a highlight for morning meals, but space is limited to the indoor dining area when weather doesn't permit. Several restaurants, including Basego, Osteria El Codega, and La Patatina, are within a 0.5 km radius if you want lunch or dinner outside the B&B.
