Hotel information

The owner Stacy Corson is an American living in Venice for nearly 8 years. She is focused on customer service & hospitality and is available to all her guests daily. (except when she sneaks away on vacation herself of course!) She has created a relaxing, warm, home and enjoys assisting clients in their Venetian adventures...everything from the best spot for a drink to arranging a private taxi ride down the Grand Canal! Simply ask.

Food & beverage

The hotel's own restaurant La Colombina is right next door and offers a fantastic selection of fresh, seasonal foods prepared daily by owner and Chef Domenico Iacuzio. Guests are offered a 10% discount on meals.

A continental style self service breakfast is offered daily in the guest house. It features fresh bread and fruit, coffee and tea. Just like at home, you clean up after yourself! Enjoy the Honesty Bar service in the courtyard, where a fridge is stocked with water, wine and sometimes beer. Take what you like and put the corresponding money in the box. An excellent place to meet new friends while relaxing amidst the flowers, sipping a glass of wine

Area information

The Guest House is conveniently located near the train station, P. Roma, the Venetian Casino and the Jewish Ghetto. We are about 20 minutes walking from San Marco and a traghetto ride away from the exciting Rialto Fish Market and its famous bridge. With a 15-minute walk you can reach Fondamenta Nuova, where you can hop on a vaporetto and set off to the islands of Murano, Burano, Torcello and others.
Cannaregio is a large residential district which offers visitors the experience of walking amongst locals.
There are many bars, cafes, shops, restaurants and pizzerias.
