CASA MIMMA, Venice

The hotel sits in a top-rated, quiet neighbourhood just 10 minutes on foot from the train station and a few minutes from a vaporetto (water bus) stop, making it easy to reach other islands and the airport by bus from Piazzale Roma. The surrounding area has numerous restaurants, bars, and shops within a 5-minute walk. Despite the central proximity, the street remains calm at night, ideal for light sleepers.

Rooms come with a flat-screen satellite TV, safe, iron, and wardrobe. The property can accommodate up to 5 people in a room with a double bed and three single beds, or a double and two singles for four. Some rooms have a shared bathroom between two rooms; others have a private en suite. The building has no lift, so upper-floor rooms require stairs. While some rooms are compact, the location and quiet atmosphere suit short stays well. Mosquito repellent and fly screens are provided in rooms.

Breakfast includes croissants, toast, jam, butter, and coffee or tea, served on a lovely garden terrace. The breakfast is basic but provides a pleasant start to the day, particularly in good weather. The host can prepare an early breakfast or a take-away breakfast if guests need to leave early. Many excellent restaurants and bars lie within a 2-minute walk, offering full meals and a wider selection.

Guests can relax in the garden or on the sun terrace, which also serves as the breakfast area. The garden is a quiet, shaded spot ideal for unwinding after a day of sightseeing. For more active leisure, vaporetto stops nearby connect to the lagoon islands, and the hotel's location makes walking to all major sights easy.

The 24-hour reception provides late check-in convenience. Express check-in/out is offered free of charge. Luggage storage is free, allowing guests to explore after checkout. Daily housekeeping changes towels and makes beds. The host is known for being helpful, arranging early breakfasts, and providing detailed directions.
