Alloggi Allegri
Right in the heart of Venice's San Marco district, Alloggi Allegri is a warm and welcoming bed and breakfast that embodies the city's timeless spirit.
Located on the very doorstep of Calle de Mezzo, at the midpoint between St. Mark's Square and the Rialto Bridge, this centuries-old house blends Venetian elegance, simplicity, and sophistication in absolute harmony.
It invites visitors who desire to uncover the city's wonders but in the comfort of a home-away-from-home.
Prime Central Venice Location
One of the best Venice locations belongs to Alloggi Allegri. Located in Calle de Mezzo 4966, the complex lies in the historic Ponte dei Bareteri area near the Grand Canal.
The prime location provides easy walking proximity for visitors to stroll to most of the major attractions like Rialto Bridge, Doge's Palace, and St. Mark's Basilica.
The area embodies the cosmopolitan nature of the city — with high-end fashion boutiques, craft workshops, and traditional Venetian cafes along peaceful alleys and peaceful piazzas.
Visitors can easily catch a vaporetto from convenient terminals such as Rialto or San Marco Vallaresso with direct lines to islands in Venice such as Murano and Burano.
Authentic Venetian Ambience
True to the Venetian hospitality tradition, Alloggi Allegri weaves humble elegance with generous-hearted courtesy. The exterior of the building is left the architectural face normal to the housing buildings of Venice, while the interior is treated with comfort and relaxation.
Wooden beams, antique furniture, and warm lighting make rooms feel homey everywhere. Every touch — from bedspreads to framed artwork — contributes to the feeling of having slept in an actual Venetian home and not a typical hotel.
The friendly and experienced staff go out of their way to make guests feel welcome. They're always pleased to offer restaurant recommendations, directions, and out-of-the-way suggestions that uncover the city's spirit to its tourists.
Large and Efficient Rooms
Alloggi Allegri rooms have been equipped with the aim of ensuring comfort and convenience. The rooms vary in sizes and categories to accommodate singles, couples, and small families.
The rooms are air-conditioned, free Wi-Fi available, flat-screen TVs, and en-suite bathrooms with showers, fresh towels, and toiletries.
The beds are usually described as comfortable, and the rooms are cleaned. Some of the rooms have large windows with views of peaceful Venetian streets, and they let in plenty of natural light. The rooms are peaceful enough given the property's central location, so one can get a good night's sleep after a day of wandering about the bridges and canals.
The furniture is plain, old-fashioned, and accentuates the building's heritage — a balance of functionality and an old Venetian home's character.
Breakfast and Dining Options
Though Alloggi Allegri offers a minimalist breakfast, there are charming restaurants and cafes lined up in the district serving traditional Venetian fare. Visitors may buy a cappuccino and freshly baked croissants from coffee shops nearby or sample cicchetti — Venetian small plates — from a local bàcari.
For people who desire to eat fine at dinner time, Trattoria da Fiore and Ristorante Alle Testiere are within a short distance, with divine seafood dishes and elegant ambiance. In the town center, the tourists are surrounded by ample dining options, from casual trattorias to restaurants with Michelin stars.
Accessibility and Amenities
While in the bewildering heart of Venice, Alloggi Allegri is very easy to find. Guests can arrive by water taxi from Marco Polo Airport or get there on the Alilaguna Line to Rialto. The hotel itself is a few minutes' walk away along quaint back streets.
Services provided range from daily room cleaning, baggage storage, and tour assistance. Airport pick-up, gondola transfer, and city tours are also organized by staff. The welcoming atmosphere and amicable staff present it as an option with couples and families, with individual travelers frequently describing a feeling of safety and companionship.

Visitors can also take a tour of the Teatro La Fenice, the historic opera house of Venice, or walk by concealed courtyards and artists' studios in Castello and San Polo districts.
For a less hectic ride, morning or evening strolls reveal the gentler aspect of Venice — the subdued clinking of gondolas passing beneath bridges and the glow of lanterns reflected on water.
Alloggi Allegri guests often remark on the comfort and accessibility of their stay. They appreciate that the accommodation is in the center, the warm hospitality of the staff, and the good value for money.
