The bed and breakfast offers rooms in a modern, comfortable building located in a very peaceful residential neighborhood. Our location is really favourable for visiting the city quietly. The Bed & Breakfast is situated in the city's residential area, in the greenery of  the Sant'Elena pine-wood. San Marco is easily reachable on foot in 20 minutes, by walking down one of  the nicest and most panoramic views in the world. Lazy people ;-) can catch the waterbus at the nearest station -- Sant'Elena. It takes less than 10 minutes to reach the S. Zaccaria stop. The Biennale gardens are just in front of the building. All you need to do is cross the bridge and walk for a few dozen meters. The Lido, its beaches and the the International Show of Cinematographic Art are easily reachable by boat in just 5 minutes. Line #41 will take you in less than half an hour directly to Murano for your brittle purchases. The most characteristic sites of Venice, usually hidden from the common tourist,  are easily accessible from S.Elena: the Basilica of San Pietro di Castello, via Garibaldi, the Arsenale, the church of San Giuseppe, all the small and narrow streets (Calli) and squares (Campielli) that intersect and make you relive a reality belonging to the 1800's. You will not feel as though you are in the tourist area in the centre of the city.
