Nestled behind the Fenice Theater, just off the Maria Callas bridge, this small B&B is the renovated home of owners Fabio and Eleonora—in fact, it's where Eleanora was born. There are three spacious, comfortable, and conscientiously-appointed rooms with private baths, each overlooking a gondola-filled canal; the largest room has a broad balcony. An ample breakfast (served at a common table) and exceptional service make Al Teatro an excellent value and a relaxing choice in the sometimes-frenetic San Marco atmosphere. Book well in advance, especially for weekend stays. Pros: Airy rooms, convenient San Marco location, nice for families. Con: The intimacy of a three-room B&B is not for everyone.
