Subject: Venice B & B middlecreek1867
Hello Ziners!

We stayed at an excellent B & B in Venice this Spring (mid- March 2005). It was very well reviewed on both Venere and Trip Advisor, so we contacted the owners directly and booked for five nights. Their website is very accurate http://www.bedandbreakfastalteatro.it Our hosts were a family of five. We stayed the first night in the Green Room but moved the next morning (done for us) to the Amber Room which we had requested. The picture on their website of the balcony is off the Amber Room. Rooms are spotless, cleaned daily with fresh towels in the ensuite bathrooms. Excellent location in San Marco but just away from the crowds so quiet. Eleonora grew up in this house. She and her husband provide terrific tips about where to go for a more authentic dining experience. An assortment of international guests visit around the breakfast table. We reviewed maps of the area before we left and had no difficulty finding their house. I was initially interested in this property because it is entirely non-smoking.

Happy travels, Barbara Gibsons, B.C. CANADA
