Be Mate continues to strengthen its presence in Italy with the opening of Be Mate Santa Croce, its second property in Venice. The new development features ten serviced apartments ranging from 40 to 128 square metres. Each unit accommodates three to six guests, depending on its size and layout.

The property occupies a building along the route connecting Piazzale Roma with the Rialto area. Moreover, the project involved a three-year renovation process, transforming the existing building into a new accommodation facility tailored to short-term stays. With this opening, Be Mate further consolidates its position in the Italian alternative accommodation market.

In Venice, the brand already operates Be Mate Ponte di Rialto, which offers twelve units. Consequently, the addition of Santa Croce brings its local portfolio to 22 apartments. The new property also strengthens the brand’s presence in one of Italy’s most established international tourism destinations, where demand for independent accommodation continues to support the development of serviced apartments.

Be Mate currently operates eleven properties across Italy, with approximately 90 units overall. Venice now accounts for two of these locations, while Rome represents the brand’s largest market, with six properties. Furthermore, Be Mate operates two locations in Milan, following the recent opening of CityLife, which adds eleven units to its portfolio. Turin completes the brand’s current Italian footprint.

Originally developed as an extension of Spanish hotel chain Room Mate, Be Mate has progressively established a distinct positioning focused on apartment-style accommodation. Its model combines the independence and flexibility of private apartments with selected hospitality services. Therefore, the latest opening in Venice represents another step in the brand’s domestic expansion, reinforcing its presence in major Italian urban destinations.
