The location and room were spectacular. It was in the heart of Venice but quiet. The hosts were so kind and helpful I want to be their friends. The room was spotless and spacious. We have already recommended it to friends.

Dean Canada

It was comfortable, clean, quiet and spacious. Arianna was above and beyond helpful. She is a delightful person.

Deb United States of America

Nice apartment in a good area close to popular sites but not crowded.

Paul United States of America

The location is perfect. A short walk to everything but far enough from the central strip that it felt private and quiet, away from the busy tourist spots, yet only a short 5-7 min walk to San Marco Square and under 10 min to Rialto Bridge. The room is huge and super cute, exceptional room service providing water (water is extra charge everywhere in Italy), and Aria the host even provided insider information on best places to eat and dine in each Venetian neighborhood (sestiere). She even provided laundry services for only 10 euro. Amazing place.

Andrew United States of America

The location was ideal. The room was beautifully decorated with nice touches--water in a pitcher, candies, and an excellent map. The lighting was lovely and though the location was central, it was so quiet inside which surprised us. The bathroom, all new, provided a wonderful shower. The body gel and shampoo were a bonus, and the hair dryer worked perfectly.

Spoma United States of America

The apartment was spacious, the kitchen was well appointed and the entire apartment was very clean. Nice touches made us feel at home, including apples, juice, biscuits, coffee, toast and jam. The terrace was wonderful and we ate breakfast out there each morning. The location is right in the heart of Venice.

Kathy Spain

Arianna was amazing to talk to. Recommendations for restaurants were perfect. Did not find better food than this all through our stay in Italy. Very glad we lived here.

Akash Canada

We stayed in the top floor apartment. It is beautifully and stylishly appointed. For two people the size is very generous. So much thought has gone into making this an exceptional holiday stay - from the things that one would expect - fixtures, fittings, kitchenware, bedroom sheets, bathroom utilities which were all high quality and in a spotlessly clean condition - through to loads of nice little unexpected extras eg orange juice, biscuits, quality toiletries and so on. The roof top view terrace is a good size and a lovely place to relax. The owner who came to meet us the first day was so friendly and pleasant. She explained everything (in really good English) and made us feel super welcome. Its location is ideal -10 mins walking from St Marks Square and Rialto. But still really quiet, safe and peaceful. If we visit Venice again, I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much Arie and Luca for helping to make our stay in Venice so wonderful.

Ray United Kingdom

Everything! it was perfect and in the most perfect location.

Martine United Kingdom

Location was great. Close to San Marco square and many wonderful restaurants.

  • States private bathroom is this correct? With this booking please and although external is it onnthe same level as the bedroom?
    Good morning Sir! Yes, exactly, the Zefiro room has a private space that separate the bedroom from the bathroom but it's available only for the guests of that room.
    Answered on 22 January 2023
  • Hello We have booked a room for May 5-8. We seem to be having difficulty contacting you. We are wanting to confirm that we have booked a room with a private bathroom ( not sharing with other guests ). Also if you have any photos of the room we will be in. Thank you for your time J Stuart
    Dear guests, We confirm that you booked our Zefiro room, with private bathroom, the door in front of the room, but on a close space separate from the common corridor. You can see the Zefiro room pics on our listing. Sincerely, Arianna

Company info

We are Luca and Arianna, a couple on their thirties, trying to make our dreams come true. Arianna is an architect by trade but she loves to do a bit of everything and lives a social life. She is fond of reading, art and theatre. Luca is a barman, passionate about photography, good cooking and traveling (he spent two years in Australia and in S-E Asia). We both love Venice, our city, which we know very well, outside of the common tourist way and in its less known features: its architecture, secret corners that must be photographed, the peculiar places, the coolest bars and restaurants. We like to share what we know and what we are discovering and we cannot wait to do so! One of the things that we love most is having guests and sharing with people who don’t just like a quick holiday getaway, but the real discover of people and places. To us a welcoming place to stay wherever around the world has to have a spine and a “soul”. We need to feel at home and have the chance to really know different people and experience the way of living. That is what we would like to offer to our guests and, above all, a tidy and and beautiful lac. Because we deeply believe that beauty will save us!

Property info

Aria e Luce is an independent building on two levels, with private access. It is a typical Venetian house of XIX century , with high wooden ceilings, inserted in the urban fabric of Castello, in a small, very quiet and safe street. At the 1st floor there are three bedrooms (Scirocco, Zèfiro and Crepuscolo) and bathrooms, one shared between the Scirocco and Zéfiro rooms, and a private one for the Crepuscolo room, and the breakfast area. On the 2nd floor there is the independent apartment Mattino, with a fully equipped kitchen and a terrace. All rooms are equipped with air conditioning and centralized automatic heating for the winter. In all the rooms our guests have at their disposal a kettle with a selection of tea and coffee and fresh water. As a free service included we offer the tiding and cleaning of bathrooms. Aria e Luce is located in a strategic area, right in the center of Venice: ten minutes walk from the Rialto Bridge and from San Marco and then from the Rialto and San Zaccaria vaporetto stops. The location of the Biennale of Art and Architecture, Giardini and Arsenale, and the islands of Murano and Burano, reachable by ferry from Fondamenta Nove, are pretty close by.

Neighborhood info

Santa Maria Formosa, the campo (square) close to our B&B Aria e Luce, is one of the oldest in Venice, located here is the Querini Stampalia Foundation and of the marvellous church built by Jacopo Sansovino. We are located at the very beginning of Castello, the most “Venetian” sestiere (neighbourhood) of Venice, populated by many local residents, but just a few minutes’ walk from Piazza San Marco, Riva degli Schiavoni and Rialto. In the area there are still many traditional workshops, typical bars and "osterie" (small restaurants), as well as many other services (vaporetto ferry stops, supermarkets, essential shops and the Civil Hospital too). You will be surrounded by Venetian art and architecture, but not overwhelmed by crowds of tourists!
