Had a full week in Venice in April. This accommodation was perfect. The location is not in the thick of the tourist area which we really appreciated. Wonderful, friendly and helpful staff. Great continental breakfast every morning including quality pastries and fresh blood orange juice. Would definitely come here again and would recommend it to all our friends!

We stayed for 4 nights and would highly recommend it. The friendliness and helpfulness of the staff is exceptional and constant so it's very easy to relax instantly and stay relaxed. We were made to feel really welcome and given good recommendations on restaurants and generally finding our way around. Because its on the canal you can arrive by water... More

One of the best hotels we've been to.. Rooms is gorgeous and garden is a small piece of heaven. Breakfast is nice, with very friendly waiters, who will make you feel at home. A perfect place for a romantic getaway.. Highly recommended

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.

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
The house, which once belonged to Alma Mahler, the composer's widow who lived there in the 1920's, lies next to a small canal just a stone’s throw from the Church of the Frari, has now been turned into an exclusive but homely retreat. This enchanting place in the hearth of Venice offers something unique to those visiting the city. Our guests will feel that they have really found a home away from home. ... more   less
