About this apartment rental
CIN: 027042-LOC-10852
This flat has the C.I.R. code 027042-LOC-10852 and City code M02704210785.
Cavazza Palazzo Foscari Mocenigo dalle Zogie (i.e. "from the beads") is a magnificent late gothic building of the first half of the Fifteenth Century that was donated in 1460 by Tommaso Cavazza, to the Confraternity of St. Mary of the Charity, then sold in 1487 to Michiel Foscari. In 1491, Pellegrina Foscari, Michiel’s daughter, married Alvise Mocenigo and brought it into dowry to her husband. The beautiful internal court consists of a double order of columns with a well with the Foscari’s coat of arms and an imposing "ingresso d’acqua" (“gate from the water”) on Rio del Piombo.
You will reach the inner courtyard of the Palace by a private marble “fondamentina” (sidewalk on water) that starts from Ponte delle Paste. Within the court, at the left of the entry, a stone staircase with marble lions is the exclusive entrance of your apartment. Climb the stone stairs outside and few internal steps (total 23, no elevators in Venice!) to get to the first Noble Floor of the Palace.
On the landing, to the left, the blue and gold lacquered, glass windowed, door leads to your 50 square metres apartment.
Air conditioning is guaranteed by a portable conditioner during summer.
There are two rooms: a 20 square metres living room with mt.5,30 ceiling heights, with a comfortable sofa, two armchairs "Louis XV" and a turkish sofa. Two large windows with curtains in flax fabric get to the balcony in “Istria” stone (mt. 2.70 x 0.80) facing Rio del Piombo, perfect for a late evening cocktail in June, an afternoon reading in spring, or a warm breakfast in winter. Rio del Piombo and the near Rio della Fava, which insists on the Palazzo facade, are plowed by gondolas or boats goods, but this won't hurt you at night.
There’s the satellite TV. Internet is assured by WI-FI line whose access key you will find written within the apartment.
The second 16 square metres room includes kitchen with induction 4 burners fire cooking, an electric oven and a fridge. No dishwasher or washing machine.
The cook equipment is all of good supply and suitable for induction cooking - including the moka for Italian coffee - and with several small household appliances, including kettle and coffee maker...
On the side of the kitchen there is a small bathroom with wc, washbasin and shower (the hairdryer is available).
The spiral staircase leads to the 12 square metres loft where is placed the 140x200 cms. bed. On a corner, you will find two standers for clothes, shoes and sweaters. BECAUSE OF THE LOFT NO CHILDREN CAN BE ACCOMODATED IN THE FLAT! We will give you a set of queen-size bed sheets, a complete set of 3 towels, bathrobe and slippers for each guest. There is an ironing board with iron.
CITY TAX - € 4 each guest/day for the first 5 days of stay. Taxes have to be payed at check-in. We will give a receipt for the payment.
If you are two guests and you want the bed in the living room (the so-called Turkish sofa) to be made, there is an extra fee of € 30,00 for the work and supply of sheets.

We truly enjoyed our stay. The location of the apartment is perfect and had all the amenities one could need. Cristiana was incredibly kind, as was Mrs. Claudia. I would 100% recommend this place to friends and family!

I highly recommend staying at Palazzo Cavazza Foscari!
It is in a wonderful location in the center of Venezia.
The property was spotlessly clean and comfortable.
We also had a lovely gift waiting for us on arrival, Also cold lemon & mint water waiting for us on arrival on a very hot day, which was very welcome and much appreciated.
Our host Cristiana was wonderful and warm to communicate with throughout the entire process from booking to staying at her beautiful old Palazzo apartment.
All in all It was an amazing chance to experience Venetian life , living like a local!
Thankyou Cristiana for everything!

We had a great time staying at this apartment. It was centrally located, above an excellent bakery, and had plenty of space for us. Highly recommend booking this for your next visit to Venice.

We really enjoyed our stay in this perfectly located apartment within a Venetian Palazzo. The apartment is as described and the images show. It’s perfectly located somewhat between St. Marks Square and the Rialto bridge.
Therefore we were able to have a nice, relaxing lunch break during our sightseeing tours through Venice. The apartment is very well equipped and we were welcomed with some cookies and Prosecco though checking in late. The host was very friendly, proactive and responsive.

We really enjoyed our stay in this very lovely, historic apartment! The apartment is conveniently located, close to many little shops and restaurants and transportation on the Grand Canal. We especially liked watching the gondolas go by on the canal. Communication was very good and we very much appreciated that Ms. Claudia was there to greet us after our trains were late.
4.9
This is a traditional Venetian apartment in a good location, and with a yummy pasticceria just outside your door. But what makes this place truly special is the host! Cristiana makes you feel like an honored guest and is available to help in any way she can. Even though she was not onsite during our stay she guided us through a difficult week and we will be forever grateful.

A lovely apartment in a beautiful gothic palace, with all the essentials. The location is very convenient for arriving with cases, and discovering Venice.
(Pasticceria Ponte delle Paste, situated next to the entrance to the palace is a must for coffee and cakes.)
4.9
Very comfortable and homey. It was like living hundred years ago with all the artifacts and waterways under your window. Yet, modern interior and appliances.
A wonderful stay. Central to all of Venice.
4.9
The location was unbeatable and security was excellent. The host was wonderful and responsive and bent over backwards to make this a special stay, especially considering that we were a bit late due to the crowds during Carnivale. Keep in mind that this is a very old building and so heating and getting it just right for sleeping can be an issue. The ceilings are high and gorgeous in our opinion. The bakery is next door for a nice espresso in the morning and all the tenants we met were warm and engaging. The location is unbeatable! The balcony very romantic! We highly recommend this VRBO and molto grazie to our charming host!
4.9
The apartment was immaculate and the owner offered help and advice that made our stay like staying with friends. There was some construction noise in the neighbourhood, but that was in no way the owner's responsibility and it is doubtless temporary.

Cristiana had our apartment filled with all the essentials we could want. Her place is so close, so central to all amenities. It has a lovely little balcony overlooking a quiet canal. My sister and I highly recommend this place, and if we're fortunate enough to ever return, we will be booking with Crisitiana again.

sejour parfait
La communication avec Cristiana a été parfaite, aussi bien avant que pendant. Arrivée facile et tout était clair et limpide.
Le quartier est très bien situé (2' du Rialto) et calme. Le petit palais est une pièce d'histoire.
Allez y les yeux fermés.

Everything you need in a place for you & your partner. Cristinanna was brilliant with communication & lots of helpful tips on places to eat etc. my husband & I had a lovely few days break away. Place was very clean & immaculate. Even a welcome bottle of Prosecco in fridge. Was a lovely surprise. Would definitely recommend this place 7mons to St Marco & less than 5mins to Railto bridge. Although getting lost in the streets is a must…

Our stay in Venice city center was wonderful. All our needs were met and then some.

Thanks so very much for all the beautiful memories!

Authentizität und Gastfreundschaft
Wer schon immer einmal in einem echten Palazzo wohnen wollte und mehr Wert legt auf Echtheit, statt auf Luxus, der ist hier richtig. Die Wohnung ist liebevoll und künstlerisch ausgestattet. Alles, was man so braucht oder brauchen könnte ist vorhanden: Neben dem Üblichen gibt es Bademäntel, Hausschuhe und, sehr nützlich, alles für den Fall, dass es regnet.
Man muss das Besondere mögen, um diese Wohnung wirklich schätzen zu können.
Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt, wurden sehr herzlich aufgenommen und hätten, wenn es erforderlich gewesen wäre, jederzeit die Möglichkeit zum Kontakt zur Gastgeberin.
Viele wertvolle Tipps gab es in einer ausführlichen Informationsmappe. Den Restauranttipps sind wir gefolgt und waren jedes Mal begeistert.
Es war unser schönster Venedigaufenthalt, den wir je hatten.

Apartment in Palazzo with lots of character, in a central location
It was a great place to stay in Venice, as it is very well located, near the Rialto Bridge, but tucked away above a small canal with its own beautiful courtyard. The apartment is very well equipped, and tastefully decorated. Cristiana was a kind and thoughtful host and went to a lot of trouble to facilitate our arrival providing information about transport from the airport. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Queen of Venice
You will feel like the Queen of Venice when you stay here.
This is a fabulous place when you visit Venice. The description is accurate; you are right on the Grand Canal & very close to the Rialto Bridge and St Marks Square.
From your terrace you can see the gondolas and other boats gliding by.
Luisa Christiana is a fabulous host. She is warm, friendly and knows Venice well. She was an enormous help to me in arranging services. I came with a very bad knee and the water taxi, porters etc. were arranged by her. All were tremendously helpful.
If you are fortunate enough to stay here you will be very happy in Venice.

Our second trip to Venice was very pleasant, greatly due to staying at Cristiana's historic apartment. It is perfect for relaxing after a busy day. The location makes it easy to reach the main sites, close to vaporetto stops, and to great gelato and candy stores. The apartment has many books on Venice in different languages, and has all necessary toiletries, kitchen utensils, and even bathrobes and umbrellas. The instructions to reach the apartment were very detailed and easy to follow. We asked Cristiana about musical events and other information we could not discover, and she provided the information to make our trip easier. We hope to stay in this apartment on our next visit to Venice

Tout était absolument parfait
Je n’aurais pas pu rêver être mieux accueillie que je ne l’ai été. Tout avait été préalablement parfaitement décris pour nous permettre d’arriver à bon port au plus tôt. Le logement est idéalement situé entre la place San Marco et le pont Rialto. La propriété, en plus d’être d’une propreté impeccable est d’un charme absolu, digne du petit Palais vénitien qu’il est. En venant avec mon bébé d’un an, Cristiana et Claudia ont idéalement préparé notre arrivée et ont mis à notre disposition tout ce qui était nécessaire pour mon fils (chaise haute, lit parapluie, linge et serviette de bain bébé, même couches et bavoirs) et aussi du grillage sur le pourtour du balcon et de la mezzanine pour la sécurité du bébé. Elles ont toutes les deux été très réactives pour tout ce que je leur ai demandé. Mon seul regret restera que ces deux semaines se soient passées trop vite. Grazie Mille, J’espère revenir bientôt et je recommande ces merveilleuses hôtes, les yeux fermés.

Magical
A balcony, on two canals, in a palace - what more could one ask for?
We are delighted that we chose this apartment for our stay in Venice. The apartment itself is part of a small palace, and you walk through the open entrance of the palace every time to get to the first floor apartment. You can just imagine what it would have been like a couple of hundred years ago, with gondolas coming to the door and the busy traffic outside one the canal.
As it is, there is still lots of busy traffic to be seen from the balcony, especially in the morning with canal deliveries and collections to the shops and businesses nearby. As the day settles down, gondolas slide past the adjacent canal.
The apartment itself is stylishly furnished to make one feel part of Venice, and the host is helpful and welcoming.
And if you enjoy a morning coffee and cake, your walk will be little more than 10 metres to one of the best Pasticcerias in the city.
Enjoy, and if you can, be in Venice for at least a week!

Wer die Athmosphäre eines alten palazzos liebt ist hier genau richtig die Übergabe des Schlüssels hat perfekt geklappt Frau Claudia hat uns nett empfangen und alles erklärt die lage ist perfekt man kann alles zu fuss erreichen das einzige Manko alles etwas abgewohnt und man darf nicht zu dick sein da das Bad sehr klein und die wendeltreppe sehr schmal ist

Charming place to stay in Venice!
This apartment in an old palazzo in Venice is a perfect place to stay for couples. It is situated not far from the Rialto and yet in a quite quiet part of the city. It is practically placed on the canal, so one really gets the feeling of staying in Venice. Christina is the perfect hostess and had provided us with boots for "aqua alta" - luckily we didn't need neither them nor the umbrellas or rain ponchos she lends her guests. She also provided us with names of her favourite restaurants and they are really worth trying! The Rialto Bridge and Piazza Sant Marco are only short strolls away from the apartment and from the boat stop at Rialto you can get practically everywhere in Venice within a very short time. We stayed for four nights and we really enjoyed the apartment!

Wir waren das zweite Mal dort. Es ist eine ausserordentlich schöne und saubere Ferienwohnung. Die Räume, der Blick vom Balkon - alles hat die Atmosphäre von Venedig. Nur das Bett war zur Mitte hin etwas Durchgelegen. Trotzdem, wir kommen gerne wieder.

Grande gentillesse et disponibilité de Cristiana, et appartement charmant!
