We recommend!

We got a nice upgrade to a family suite that was very comfortable. The WiFi worked well on the 3rd floor; he had installed a repeater. There was TV, but we didn’t speak Italian so we didn’t watch. The bathroom was a little small, but at least it was an ensuite. It was an easy walk to the vaporetto stop on the north as well as the south side of Venice. Nicola was very friendly and helpful and available whenever we needed him. It is a very nice property. Venice is a city of lots of walking!

Lovely b&b. True Venice. We were seriously delayed at our end. Kept in contact with Nicola. Who, although we were very late still met us at the vaporetto. We plan on returning to Venice and Oceano will be our first choice every time.

Lovely property in a quiet but very convenient and accessible part of the city. The proprietor,Nicola, is wonderful and makes every effort to insure that you you enjoy your stay.

If you have trouble negotiating stairs then request the first floor and not the second.

Quiet location yet close to the sights.

Great stay at Oceano Mare, Nicola always available via Whatsapp with advice or to help if lost. Location is good in a quiet area yet still close to both the Grand canal and Piazza San Marco. Also short walk to reach Vaparetto for the outer islands.

Great experience in Venice

Oceano Mare won't be the most luxurious place you'll ever stay in, but wonderful memories of it should linger. It's real Venice - slightly away from most tourist crowds. Most people who live in this neighborhood live there all year. The most memorable part of the experience is Nicola who takes care of the place. Full of information, quirky, generous and thoroughly enjoyable. He is full of suggestions and really wants you to have a good time in Venice.

Really nice BnB, quiet, good food, awesome host

We absolutely loved our experience at Oceano Mare. Nico was an excellent host, making sure we didn't get lost on our way to the BnB and available at all times via text messages or email. It is the perfect place to visit Venice, in a quiet area. Nico always makes sure he provides fresh fruits and various sweet and savoury food to enjoy in the morning. We already recommended the BnB to friends and would definitely go back! The view from our room (\"the Family room\") was so nice. We also loved to pet Nico's dog when he visited! Thanks Nico!

Perfection

Absolutely perfect. Nicola was fantastic host from first booking to our departure he gave great instructions and made our journey from the airport to the apartments seamless. He met us at the Arsenale stop and even carried our luggage which was very sweet whilst giving us lots of helpful and interesting information about Castello, Venice and even a little about himself. Such a warm and friendly person thank you for your hospitality. Castello is a fantastic area with lots of great restaurants and bars. We prefer to avoid the main tourist spots try the gin bar close by you will see lots of bow ties hanging from the wall and outside a picture of the owner on Masterchef. Friendly staff, great music and fantastic selection of gin. The spaghetteria is really great too they make all their pasta fresh on site and it's delicious. Also head to the Jewish Quarter for great bars and chicetti - vino very do the best meatballs. The apartments were spotlessly clean and spacious and there was plenty selection at breakfast. Hot showers comfortable bed and a peaceful sleep. Still very close to all the main attractions but quiet at night for a good rest. Perfect can't recommend Oceana Mare enough. It was a pleasure :)

Nicola was extremely helpful and friendly. The room was nice, and roomy. The facilities were great with a 24hr coffee and hot chocolate machine. The breakfast had some really nice elements including very fresh fruit, yoghurt, bread, cheese, and cakes. Unfortunately, the towels were smelly and had hairs and stains on them, even the new/different ones we requested. I would recommend the hotel get all new towels. Overall still a great place to stay!

It is actually not a Hotel, but a bed & breakfast.

It is located in the very old part of Venice with crooked narrow streets so it is challenging to get back to the hotel. The area is safe and very picturesque. It gives you a feeling living in the Middle Ages.
Breakfast is light and modest, more on the sweet side. The machine gives you a great selection of beverages and it is unlimited and you can have access to it later in the day too. It is a very short walk to a Vaporetto station what is the main mean of transportation in Venice. I would recommend to buy
a multiday pass, it will save you a lot of money.

Brilliant location, service and great rooms.

This B&B is a great find. The location is brilliant, a short walk to Piazza San Marco and yet just back enough from the main streets to get you away from the large tourist groups and tourist prices at restaurants and bars. Rooms are generous for Europe and have all that you could require including a few extras such as fridge, wardrobe and hairdryer.
The closest ferry stop of Arsenale is perfect for access from the train/bus station and is also a stop for the airport ferry and for the Number 1 ferry that travels up the Grand Canal.
Nicola is a wonderful host that will contact you before you arrive to arrange to collect you at the ferry and he is helpful in any way you require during your stay.
Head to gates of Arsenal for your morning coffee and continue on to Via Garibaldi in the evening for more local style restaurants - especially El Refolo and those nearby.

A True Authentic Venetian GEM!!

Away from the tourist crowds but close enough to be in the thick of things with a quick walk, the Oceano Mare is in the perfect location for getting a feel for the local experience of the city. The owner went above and beyond by both picking us up from the Vaporetto, showing us how to get around, carrying our bags, and generally being incredibly friendly. We felt like we were staying at our Italian friends' house and could not have felt any more comfortable or welcome! The owner showed us some local spots to eat and even walked me to a local shop where the sunscreen cost 1/2 as much as in the tourist areas. The 3 of us stayed in the second floor suite which was the perfect size for all of us and our things. The cost was extremely reasonable, especially for Venice at high tourist season, and our only complaint was that the hairdryer provided was not exactly great. The air-conditioning was both extremely necessary the weekend we were there and soo much appreciated after a long hot day walking around outside in the city. We all three would highly recommend the Oceano Mare as a place to stay, and will most assuredly book a room there again when we return!

At home in Venice

Staying at the Oceano Mare is like staying at a friend's house. Nicola, who met us along the way to help us find the B &B, is a wonderful and welcoming host. He was always helpful with directions and dining recommendations, both of which are key to enjoying one's stay in Venice. Our room and the adjoining bathroom was clean and comfortable. The breakfast room was pleasant and the morning choices plentiful. The Oceano Mare is a simple honest place; it does not attempt to give you a \"lux\" experience, but what it does do, and it does it very well, is give you a place that feels like home at the end of a long day getting lost in one of the most amazing cities in the world. When we come back to Venice, and we will be, we will be staying at the the Oceano Mare. Thanks Nicola - it was wonderful and your thoughtfulness will be long remembered.

Veldig bra opphold! Vi ble møtt på kaia av eieren Nicola, som hjalp oss med bagasje gjennom en labyrint av broer og gater og viste oss hvordan vi skulle huske veien. Oceano Mare ligger i et sjarmerende, stille strøk, vekk fra verste turisttrafikken, men likevel en kort spasertur fra Markusplassen. Fint rom med bad i 2. etg, ikke så stort, men helt greitt. God seng. Air con., kjøleskap og nettverk, sistnevnte kunne nok vært bedre. Frokostrom i inngangsetasjen, bord dekket til 12, godt utstyrt for å lage seg en enkel kontinental frokost. Flott service fra en veldig hyggelig vert. Anbefales på det varmeste!

Un séjour très agréable chez un super hôte !

Nous avons passé 4 nuits dans ce B&B et avons été très contents de ce séjour. L'emplacement, certes un peu excentré, est reposant car loin de l'affluence touristique. Nous étions à 10 min de l'arsenal (idéal pour la Biennale) et à une quinzaine de minutes à pied de la place Saint Marc. Tous les jours, le petit déjeuner (buffet) était bon et avec beaucoup de choix (fruits, gâteaux faits par le proprio, tous les jours différents, pain, biscottes, charcuterie...), différents cafés, du thé... etc. Le propriétaire, Nicola, a été d'une grande gentillesse. Il a tenu à transporter nos valises jusqu'à son B&B tout en nous faisant faire un parcours commenté depuis l'arrêt de vaporetto Arsenale jusqu'au B&B. C'est une personne vraiment sympathique et arrangeante, qui a su nous conseiller de bonnes adresses et aidé sur plusieurs points (laisser nos valises dans le B&B le jour où nous partions pour qu'on puisse profiter encore de notre journée avant le décollage, imprimer nos réservations de visites...).

La chambre était petite mais confortable néanmoins, même si l'on voit que l'immeuble et les équipements dans la salle de bains ne sont pas des plus récents. Ménage tous les jours. Pour ce que l'on peut trouver à Venise, c'était un très bon rapport qualité / prix. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié de pouvoir être si bien accueillis et pouvoir profiter d'un emplacement calme dans Venise, néanmoins proche de pas mal de choses à pied. (il y aussi deux arrêts de vaporetto à proximité)

Bella Atmosfera

Venezia in inverno è magica. Alloggiare in un tranquillo b&b insieme alla famiglia per godersi serenità e cordialità non si può chiedere di meglio. Il sig Nicola è cordialissimo e ti mette subito a tuo agio. Ti racconta subito che la casa dove alloggerai era del nonno (che non conosceva) e che glie l'ha lasciata in eredità. Sembra una storia da film invece vera. Così come è vero tutto quello che trovi dentro : dai quadri del nonno alle rane in ceramica. Camere e bagni puliti, letti comodi. Per colazione non manca nulla... forse la torta fatta in casa ma non è un problema.
