A good host
We never actually stayed in Luca's room. There was a mix up and the room was double booked. Luca however arranged for superior accommodation in a good location at no extra cost to ourselves. He personally took us to the new location and assisted with our luggage. He ensured that our visit to Venice went well.

Great location, friendly staff
The hotel is very close to Rialto Bridge - in the center of everything - food, shopping, walking, etc. Room and bathroom were very clean and comfortable. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Lucas gave us some great recommendations of where to continue our tour of Italy which we did and were very happy. Thank you!

Good location and cofortable.
Ideal location and priced well. Hotels in the area very high. The restaurant below has the same owner. We used it for lunch twice and both times had an excellent meal. There was a small issue leaving when the woman left in charge insisted we had to pay when it was already paid in full. Her ability to speak any English disappeared when I passed her thr phone to speak to a Hotels.com rep. A call to the owner sorted it out.

Great location to see Venice
Due to some on line information we were able get to the B&B with no trouble even though we had to have a couple if large suitcases up and down stairs on the bridges etc. We had received an email to say no one was in to welcome us but it was no trouble as the instructions led us to find our room easily which was a good size and comfortable. As with most continental places there was no kettle and beverages to make a cups which would have been ideal. Only 5 mins walk from the Rialto Bridge water bus stop, and then a 8 to 10 minute walk to San Marco. An ideal position. Breakfast was very good, continental style with croissants, fruit, bread rolls, cheese and delicious cakes. There we met Luca, the Manager, who was very friendly and helpful. We were there for two nights and managed to fit in visits to the Correr museum at opposite end of San Marco piazza to the Basilica, a guided walking tour including inside of the Basilica, took the lift up the clock tower for stunning views of Venice and finally a visit to the Doges Palace. There is a restaurant under the B&B which looked fine but we used one named Malibran just next door and the staff were friendly and the food good. We highly recommend B&B Barababao and Venice is delightful.

Great B&B in a perfect position near Rialto.
Couldn't be happier with Barababao. Luca went out of his way to make our stay memorable. Venice is a challenge for someone with a mobility issue and his assistance was outstanding. Great restaurant underneath also.

Best place to stay in Venice
Location Location and service. The hotel is very close to Rialto Bridge. Lucas, the owner, is great.

The place os modern and up to date.

Perfect Location in Venice
We absolutely loved the location of the B&B in Venice. We were able to walk everywhere and only ever be 15-30 minutes away when we wanted to return. Luca, the owner, was kind and friendly and very helpful. He went over and beyond to make our stay comfortable. Also, he serves the best breakfast with little pizza pastries!

Nice spot in Cannaregio
This was the first hotel we stayed in on our honeymoon in Italy. We arrived early after our overnight flight, and were told our room would be ready in about an hour, so we left our bags stored and headed out for lunch. When we came back around noon, we went right into our room, which was ready for us. The room was compact, but not too small. It's "downtown" Venice, after all! We were at the back of the building, which overlooked the courtyard of the downstairs restaurant, but after hours you had the kind of hushed quiet that only comes from being in a city with no cars, motos, etc. The breakfast was good - fresh pastries, tasty fresh fruit, tea or espresso, and so forth. Not much protein, but breakfast in Italy is typically lighter. The proprietor is quite friendly, and happy to chat over breakfast if you need recommendations for things to do. The location is convenient, just a 5-10-minute walk from the Rialto vaporetto stop. (A note on local transport - you can get the boat directly from/to the airport from the Rialto stop as well, but we found that taking the bus to Piazzale Roma and then the vaporetto to Rialto involved less walking and cost about the same in the end.)

Luca, the owner/manager was super great. Gave excellant directions and info. that we needed. He even met us on the street the day of arrival, because the B&B is a little hard to find at first, when you arrive, but after its really easy, thanks to Luca. He also has an excellant restaraunt right under the B& B.

Was a very nice stay, in a convenient location, close to just about everything you could want to see. Our air didn't work the first day so we were miserable but as soon as we told the owner he had it fixed before we got back from our day out. He was so nice, and accommodating and the breakfast was very tasty. The room was simple but everything we needed!

Perfectly adequate accommodations
Luca was great. Breakfast was wonderful. Dinner at restaurant downstairs was delicious. Room was a little small for three people but overall fine. Place was hard to find and we would have benefitted from getting directions in advance, but we had difficulty with Internet and didn't connect in time by email. We would stay there again.

Lucca, the owner, was the ultimate host. Breakfasts were great and Lucca is a great conversationalist! He told us all about his family. He answered every question we asked. Great location! Osteria/Restaurant on ground floor was exceptional for lunch and dinner. Great selection. Great food. Great time in Venice! Thanks, Lucca.

Nice place in the middle of the city
Great location by Rialto Bridge and St. Mark's Square. Many restaurants nearby. Somewhat nosy at night since the windows opened to a square with many people eating and walking through. Luca, the host, is extremely helpful and friendly. He provided a map and directions to different sites. We very much enjoyed our time here.

Barababao!
This place is great!! Luca is a pleasure and excellent host. The rooms are smaller but plenty of space for 2 and clean. It can be tricky to find but dont be dumb. Google map the Rialto bridge and save it on your phone, its only two streets up. And use a map, you will need it. Luca gives you one if you can manage to find the B&B without it(Google map pic on cellular I mentioned above), so you may not have to buy one. It took me about a day and a half be able get around Venice without it. The price wasnt that bad considering everything in venice is over priced. As is the rest of Italy. Luca's restaurant below the B&B is good too. They have a mixed grilled fish dish which is real good. There is a small place around the corner and over a small bridge on the edge of a small plaza that is awesome. A very nice asian lady and her family run it. You can get a drink, salad and a main dish for 10 euros. And the food is amazing. I got pizza, but my wife got seafood pasta that was out of this world. Been in italy for over two weeks and its the best AND cheapest Ive had or seen. Go figure. There is also a walk in pizza shop right next door. Closest ive seen to real NY pizza back home. Sorry Italy, aint nothin like a NY pizza. Anyways. Luca's B&B Barababao is a great place and I would recommend. Close to everything. Breakfast is great.

Fortunately, we used Google maps on our phone to locate this place. Finding places in Venice is not as simple as one may think. When we arrived at noon, our room was being prepared and the host let us store our baggage in the bed and breakfast until we got back in the evening. She gave clear instructions to using the keys and how to get back into the apartment complex and into our room. The location was fantastic - close to the Rialto Bridge and about a 10-15 minute walk to St. Mark's Square. The breakfast was simple but adequate and we thoroughly enjoyed our espresso with a croissant, some fruit and orange juice. The bed was comfortable but the blanket was a little thin. The apartment is above a restaurant, so expect some noise into the night, which we did, but we were so tired, we fell asleep so it wasn't as noticeable. Overall, it was a very good experience at the bed and breakfast and we recommend it.

Stay in Venice in June
To say this Bed and Breakfast was hard to find is an understatement and the locals really don't want you asking them directions, once we found the bed and breakfast the owner was no where to be found!! A few phone calls later he arrived and the room and breakfast were good, the room was above a resturant that can be loud at times late into the night.

Very helpful inn keepers
The owners of the B&B were extremely helpful, even walking down to meet us when we couldn't find our way. The room was small but doable for 2. It is right in the heart of everything -- just a little too much so. There is a restaurant and several shops immediately beneath our room and it was noisy at night. But all-in-all, a very Venice-like room.
