Madama garden retreat

Each of the reviews I read are spot-on: this is a fantastic place to stay! The location is absolutely perfect: about a 15-minute walk to the Rialto Bridge, and about 25-minutes to St. Mark's Square. It is so quiet, yet just minutes away from shopping and restaurants. The garden will thrill you! It so beautiful and peaceful. Breakfast (which is amazing) on the patio will get your day started the right way. We had the Iris canal/garden suite. It was so big and comfortable. Plus, we were right next to the canal and spent a lot of time watching the traffic on the canal. The staff, Mara, Alberto, Rippon and Lorenzo were fabulous. They will take care of your every need! We spent four nights there and it was perfect. I would not stay anywhere else in Venice. Thank you for taking such good care of us!

Simply a wonderful tranquil garden spot to hide from the August crowds and to saunter the canals. Beautiful breakfast (the scrambled egg was just so yummy and there are more pastries, fruit and yoghurt than you could possibly wish for. Comfy bed, pretty decor, and staff who are very happy to make suggestions, seek reservations and to make your life easy. A fabulous hotel.

My wife and I spent two nights in Madame Garden Retreat and it has been an unforgettable experience! On arrival, Alberto welcomed us and confirmed that we have been upgraded for our stay, which was a great start. Our room was clean, spacious and had great views over the canals. The property itself is tucked away from the main tourist route, allowing you to enjoy a moment of quiet (and shade) in their garden over a glass of Aperol. During our stay, Alberto gave us some great tips that helped us take the most out of the visit. Overall, it felt like staying in someone’s Venetian house rather than a hotel, which made our time more special. We will most certainly be back!
