Take a fast hydrofoil or ACTV ferry from Piazzale Roma in Venice, which takes just 15 minutes and runs every hour. These services are affordable and reliable, especially during peak season. For a more scenic option, book a water taxi directly from St. Mark’s Square—though pricier, it offers door-to-door convenience. Once on Malamocco, explore the island’s narrow alleys and historic bridges on foot or by rental bicycle, discovering tranquil neighborhoods where locals still live and work, offering a true glimpse into Venetian lagoon authenticity.
Don’t miss the hand-blown glass workshop at Casa del Vetro, where artisans guide you through creating small glass ornaments using centuries-old techniques. Early morning boat tours with local fishermen reveal the island’s wetland ecosystem and rare bird species. You’ll also taste freshly caught sea urchins and shrimp served raw or lightly grilled. In the evening, visit the open-air market near Chiesa di San Paolo to buy handmade straw hats and citrus preserves—perfect souvenirs of authentic lagoon culture.

Many offer free Wi-Fi and secure parking, ideal for those seeking peace. Enjoy evenings listening to gentle waves and distant church bells—perfect for unwinding and embracing a slow-paced, off-the-beaten-path Venetian lifestyle.
Yes. Climb the bell tower of Santa Maria Assunta Church for panoramic views of the island’s pastel-colored houses and winding canals. The sunlit reflections on the canals at sunset create stunning mirror-like effects—ideal for photography. Hidden alleyways with ornate iron gates and weathered stone walls provide perfect backdrops for candid street shots. Don’t miss the secret bridge near the old fisherman’s dock, where light dances across the water—a favorite among photographers seeking unspoiled Venetian charm.
Try Malamocco Fritto Misto—a mix of fresh local fish, shrimp, and shellfish fried to golden crispness, served with lemon sauce. Another highlight is Sarde in Saor, sweet-and-sour marinated anchovies with raisins and onions, a traditional lagoon dish. Breakfast favorites include Focaccia con Salame, a savory flatbread with cured ham.

It's about a 20-minute ride from the LIDO SME vaporetto terminal, and even in the evening, regular bus service runs through this area, stopping near the public beach of San Nicolo.

Staying at Albergo Cavalletto & Doge Orseolo was a delightful experience. The location is perfect—just a short walk from the main sights, including St. Mark’s Square and the Grand Canal. I found the staff incredibly helpful and friendly; they greeted me warmly and took care of everything, even offering local tips to make my stay more enjoyable. While the hotel has a historic charm with some older furnishings and facilities, it’s well-maintained and spotlessly clean throughout. There’s a genuine sense of character here—walls that tell stories, elegant details, and a quiet elegance that captures the spirit of Venice. It’s not flashy, but that’s part of its appeal. For travelers looking for an authentic, cozy, and convenient base in Venice, this is a fantastic choice.
Hotel Bisanzio
Tony, the hotel staff, was absolutely exceptional—his warm hospitality truly made our Venice trip unforgettable.

The hotel itself is immaculate, with spotless rooms and well-maintained bathrooms that feel both modern and cozy. Every room carries a subtle, refreshing scent—just enough to feel clean and inviting without being overwhelming.

And location-wise, it’s unbeatable—just steps away from the water taxi stop, making it super easy to explore the canals and iconic sights.

Absolutely incredible experience! I’d book this hotel again without a second thought. The room boasts classic, antique-style furnishings that give it a timeless charm, yet everything is immaculately clean and well-maintained. Breakfast was outstanding—fresh, abundant, and delicious, easily one of the best I’ve had on my travels. Location is perfect: just steps away from major attractions and public transit, making exploring Venice effortless. The staff are friendly and attentive, adding to the overall warmth of the stay. This isn’t just a place to sleep—it’s a true home away from home in one of the most magical cities in the world. Highly recommended for anyone seeking comfort, character, and convenience in Venice.

Staying at Hotel Ca' Alvise was an absolute delight! The room was beautifully designed with authentic Italian charm and a refined Renaissance ambiance that truly made me feel like I was in a piece of history. Every detail, from the elegant furnishings to the thoughtful touches, added to the overall sense of sophistication and warmth. The staff were incredibly attentive and friendly—always ready to help with recommendations or any request, making our stay seamless and enjoyable.

San Marco Boutique by Wonderful Italy
聖馬可華麗公寓酒店真的令人非常失望。從水巴到酒店的指引根本唔夠用，我們搭陸路渡輪到埗後完全迷失方向，走咗兩小時都未找到入去，期間聯絡酒店多次求助，結果佢哋竟然話『谷歌地圖在威尼斯不准』，但之前又叫我們用谷歌地圖查地址！最離譜係入住兩日後先有人主動問我哋有無問題，原來係因為房間有床蟲！全家人身上都出現紅腫痕跡，我拍咗照片同網上床蟲咬痕作對比，酒店竟回覆話『只係蚊叮』，完全唔理會問題嚴重性。我哋要求立即停租並徹底清潔，但一直無人理會。呢間酒店真係唔建議入住，尤其係住套房2號，環境差、服務差，性價比低到極點，要避開！」},{
Sea to Sky Apartments by Wonderful Italy
The apartment’s location is fantastic—quiet yet perfectly positioned within easy reach of all major sights and water taxi stops. There are plenty of excellent cafes and restaurants nearby, making it ideal for breakfast. I highly recommend trying the croissants at Cafe Vero—they’re unforgettable and hard to miss in this area. The unit itself is spacious and modern, especially when compared to other small apartments or hotels in Venice. Having air conditioning is a real plus if you're visiting during summer months. We stayed in Canal View 2, one of three similar units on the second floor. Everything was great except for one issue: after a rainy day, water started dripping into the bedroom. It wasn’t a major flood, but it did require using towels and covers to manage the noise and prevent further mess. Fortunately, once the rain stopped, everything was fine. Before booking, it’s worth confirming that the roof issue has been addressed. Another downside was the number of rules only shared after booking. For example, disposing of trash requires taking it to a boat stop early in the morning—no easy task if you’re just here for a few days. Also, instructions for using the dishwasher felt overly complicated, especially if you’re not cooking regularly or staying more than a week. We didn’t throw out our waste because we were confused about the process (mostly paper and plastic), so we simply let them know. If you’re looking for a terrace, ask if that unit is available—it’s definitely a bonus for those who want extra outdoor space.
Messner Palace Venice
Staying at Messner Palace Venice was an absolute delight from start to finish. The staff went above and beyond with their warm, friendly service—always smiling, attentive, and ready to help with anything. From check-in to checkout, every interaction felt personal and genuine. The hotel’s location is perfect: quiet yet just a short walk from major attractions, making it easy to explore Venice without the hassle. Rooms are clean, well-appointed, and incredibly comfortable—especially the bed, which made for a restful night’s sleep. I was particularly impressed by how thoughtfully designed everything was, from the decor to the little touches like local snacks and fresh flowers. This place truly offers exceptional value for money. I’ll definitely be returning and recommending it to everyone I know.
Palazzo Soderini
Our stay at Palazzo Soderini was truly enjoyable. Since it was just the two of us, the hotel kindly upgraded us to a larger room than what we originally booked—such a thoughtful touch! The location is perfect for exploring the whole city; everything is within walking distance, so no need to rely on public transport. The cleanliness was impeccable—every corner felt fresh and well-maintained. There were minor issues, like a broken mosquito net and a bathroom door that didn’t close fully, but these didn’t detract from the overall experience. Plus, the rooms don’t have TVs, which actually worked in our favor—we weren’t distracted by screens and could fully immerse ourselves in the charm of Venice. Overall, the value for money is excellent, and I’d highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Venice.
Albergo San Marco
My 11-year-old son and I had a wonderful solo trip to Venice, and our stay at Albergo San Marco was absolutely top-notch. With a packed daily schedule, my main priorities were a spacious bed, quiet surroundings, no unpleasant odors, easy access to showers, and a convenient spot to wash small items like shorts and socks—this room checked all those boxes perfectly. The location is unbeatable: just a 5-minute walk to St. Mark’s Square, making sightseeing super easy. The little balcony was a highlight—on warm evenings, we’d open the window instead of using AC, letting in cool breezes. Breakfast was excellent; since I’m currently managing my sugar intake, I stuck to plain yogurt, tomatoes, cucumbers, oatmeal, and ham—perfectly satisfying. The coffee was rich and delicious, and there was a water dispenser offering mineral water with a subtle fruity hint but zero sweetness—so refreshing! There’s also a little hidden perk: if you ask, staff can bring you orange juice or a fried egg and bacon breakfast combo. The only minor downside? No in-room drinking water dispenser—but honestly, that didn’t ruin the experience. Overall, this place offers great value, comfort, and charm. I’d definitely come back.
Al Bailo di Venezia
We stayed here with our family, and overall, the experience was excellent. The hotel is incredibly clean, safe, and every little detail shows thoughtfulness—really made us feel at home. One small suggestion: the AC vent in the room was dusty, so cleaning it or replacing the filter would be a great improvement. Also, since we had elderly guests with us, it would be helpful if guest services were more accessible—having to walk around to check in was a bit challenging. Despite that, the location is fantastic, close to everything, and public transport makes getting around Venice super easy. We truly appreciated the attention to cleanliness and security. Definitely a place we’d recommend and return to.
Hotel A la Commedia
The location is absolutely perfect—just a short walk from the train station and only two minutes to a convenient supermarket, which made our stay super easy. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment we arrived. The bed was wonderfully comfortable, and I slept like a baby. The shower provided strong water pressure and consistent temperature—perfect for a refreshing morning rinse. Breakfast was a highlight: a wide variety of options with fresh, delicious fruits that really made the meal special. Everything about this hotel felt thoughtfully designed for guest comfort and convenience. I’m already planning my return visit—this place truly exceeded my expectations.
