We loved the location and communication with Giorgiove. Giorgiove replied promptly and helped with directions we were seeking. We would recommend this apartment for your get away.

We were 3 couples staying for 3 nights at this pleasant unit. We were lucky to get the unit in the morning, as we were tired from travelling. The photos were true to reality, and Giorgio was responsive and helpful. Having a water taxi stop at the front door was very practical and a grocery a few doors over.

Apartment was beautifully designed and fantastic. Master bedroom and living room had great views of the river. Giorgio was very accommodating and helpful with arrival, touring of apartment. Waterfront restaurants and shopping was just steps out of apartment and very close to San Marco’s Square. Thanks Giorgio!!!

Beautiful view of canal.The owner was terrific. Met us on our day of arrival, showed us around the apartment. Met us on our departure date at the exact time he said he would. Arranged for a water taxi to take us to airport. Apartment located conveniently by a water taxi drop off spot as well as the water bus stop. Located in a quieter section of Venice, nice to not have the crowds and hustle and bustle. There was plenty of room for the 4 couples included in our group. Nice to have 4 bedrooms plus 5 bathrooms. Kitchen was handy for having breakfast in. We were able to pick up some groceries at a near by grocery store (sells wine and beer also) But close to some restaurants near by, right on the canal for dinners out after a busy day of sight seeing. Enjoyed our stay.

When our family of 10 decided to do a Greek island cruise, spending a few days in Venice ahead of that was a given. I was pleased to find a 5 BR canal view apartment to meet our needs. The apartment had plenty of space for privacy along with great common areas. The neighborhood was wonderful with a nearby market, lots of waterfront restaurants and great little unique shops. But, best of all was Giorgio, the owner, who was so helpful and accommodating. He met us for an orientation and checked in mid-stay. He also kept in touch via text for any questions we had about the apartment, the neighborhood or, really, anything. Would come back there in a heartbeat! Thanks, Giorgio!

Just spent 3 nights at Zattere with 10 friends and family members. The place and location was perfect for us! Had a view of the main canal with walkable distances to San Marcos Square and all kinds of cafes and shopping areas. The owner, Giorgio, could not have been more helpful. He was always available to us. In fact offering a local dentist for one of our team members who had a sore tooth. In addition, the water taxi stop was right outside the rental. We will be coming back to Venice again soon and hope that this place is open to us again. Thank you Giorgio for everything!

The place is beautiful, the location is terrific, we had plenty of space for our large group (11 people) and Giorgio was a very good host. We would happily recommend this place to anyone when staying in Venice. It was the perfect experience!

The apartment was everything we hoped it would be... we were 2 families and had more or less separate quarters with a huge joint lounge/ dining area, Giorgio couldn’t have been more helpful organizing transport for us and generally being there whenever we needed help with something such as tours or restaurants! Highly recommended this appartment

Our family thoroughly enjoyed staying in Giorgio's apartment. It was large, luxurious and beautiful, and right on the Guidecca canal. There's constant boat traffic to watch and great views across the canal - even better than the pictures. The Spirito Santo stop is right in front, with one stop to St Mark's and easy access to/from the train station. Walking to the grand canal and throughout Dorsoduro is easy and pleasant. The apartment is very luxurious and the AC works great-even in mid-summer heat. There's an extra sleeping area so our teenage son and daughter could have their own space, washer/dryer, nice kitchen, large dining area with fantastic views, and balcony off the master over the water. Giorgio was a pleasure to work with-he met us on arrival and departure, showed us everything, and was extremely friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the stay immensely and highly recommend the apartment.

Three generations, all nine of us, enjoyed our stay immensely. Giorgio arranged our water taxis both to the apartment and the end of our stay. He was was delightful and helpful in every way. The apartment is spacious and beautifully appointed, reminiscent of old Venice but with modern bathrooms, kitchens and two washing machines that were in constant use with three teenage grandaughters. We all agreed that this is where we will stay on any return visits. The views were fabulous and after a tiring day it was wonderful to sit on the balcony and drink a lovely glass or two of wine. Dorsodoro is a great area, near to everything away from the crowds.

This apartment caught my eye when I started to search for somewhere for a group of 6 of us to stay to celebrate my birthday. Once I had seen the main bedroom with the balcony and the views over the Guidecca canal, I stopped looking for anywhere else.The reality was even better than the description. The layout of bedrooms and bathrooms was perfect for a group and everything worked well. The apartment is a nice mix of traditional and modern - great walk-in shower and comfortable beds Giorgio was very helpful in dealing with our various arrival and departure times and helped me plan ahead by recommending restaurants for dinner. Even in early March they were busy so it was well worth it to book ahead. The location is very good, within easy reach of Vaparetto stops and the Alilaguna stop for direct airport access. There is plenty to see and do within walking distance, we probably could have managed without using public transport if I didn't have a bad knee ! I would love to come back to this wonderful apartment.

Very clean and homey. Can accommodate a large # of people with enough bedrooms for privacy. Large living area for all to gather and 2 kitchens to allow cooking if need be. Can't say enough good things about the owner, really made it enjoyable. Great view of the grand canal and many entrees to water taxi's to get all over the city. we had eight people and were very comfortable.

What a wonderful house! Stayed here with a total of 7 people (70 years to 12 years). We were all able to have our own space yet hang out together when we wanted to. Giorgio is so kind and met us off the boat (and also helped us with great instructions on what water bus to catch to get to his house) He showed us all around the apartment and gave us lots of recommendations for restaurants and coffee places. The A/C was so nice to have during those hot nights too. The location of the apartment was such that it was easy to go to the inner city of Venice, yet if we needed to escape from the crowds we could. We will definitely recommend to our friends and family to come visit Giorgio!

My family spent four days at this lovely apartment and enjoyed every minute. There were 11 of us, three generations in all, (70-8), and we were very comfortable!!! The neighborhood is wonderful, not crowded, but with plenty of restaurants and cafes nearby. The views from the front terrace were spectacular! The children especially enjoyed watching the cruise ships go by. We were within walking distance of most sights, but loved coming home to the peace of Dorsoduro. When we return to Venice, we will be sure to contact Giorgio, and book Zattere Luxury Apartment.

The apartment owner, Giorgio Cichellero Fracca, kept in touch throughout our stay to answer any questions and make our stay as comfortable as possible. The central living room had plenty of seating and was supplied with lots of information. There were beautiful views from every window. Two kitchens, several bathrooms and plenty of sleeping accommodations made it easy for eight adults to make the most of their time. The location couldn't be more perfect. The apartments are close to shops, restaurants and museums. We were there at the end of November and we discovered how windy it could get when an unlatched swinging window blew so hard against the the building that it broke. We were charged for the window, but because of the circumstances regarding how the window was able to be broken, we did not feel it was our responsibility. Frankly, that is the only reason I didn't give this a 5 star rating. If I were ever lucky enough to go back to Venice I wouldn't hesitate to rent that wonderful place again. I doubt we could have made a better choice.

Giorgio Cichellero Fracca's apartment more than lived up to our expectations, and they were very high. Great space; great location; great views; well-equiped. My family -- 10 in all, including children 18, 14, 6, 5 and 3 -- spent five lovely days in the apartment. My wife and I have been to Venice often, and in all seasons, and this winter's visit was among the best we have had. Far fewer crowds than in other seasons, and beautiful weather -- four of five days sunny and in the 50's F. Perfect for wandering and walking. We even sat outside to eat and drink on a couple of days. Giorgio couldn't have been more responsive before we arrived and was helpful in many ways during our stay. This is an apartment we'll recommend without hesitation to our friends.

Three generations of our family spent a wonderful week in this beautiful apartment with spectacular views on the Giudecca Canal. Seven of us, ages 19 to 80, stayed very comfortably in this rambling yet cozy art-filled flat in Dorsoduro. The location is excellent with a vaporetto stop literally outside the door, and a short walk to Accademia Bridge, Peggy Guggenheim, and Salute. While there is much to see and do in the immediate neighborhood, including good restaurants and bar/cafes, we loved relaxing in the sun-filled living room overlooking the canal. The apartment has numerous terraces (we couldn't keep track of them all) with a variety of views. The apartment is very well-equipped, with a washing machine and a dryer (often a rarity in Italy), American coffee maker, plenty of cutlery and culinary equipment. Lightening fast WiFi. Beds and linens were all in excellent condition. Plumbing was in very good order, although water pressure could have been stronger for showers on second floor. Our stay was in the winter and we were pleased with how well-heated the apartment was. The wood floors and beautiful carpets helped ward off any chill, too. We've been renting properties in Italy, Spain and the UK for over 10 years. Our owner was one of the best hosts we've experienced. Very responsive, excellent English, and helpful. He's assembled a massive collection of Venice maps and guides that he provides to guests for their use. We love exploring new places in Italy, but it will be very hard to resist coming back to this lovely flat.

Midsummer (mezzagosto, as they say in Italy) 2015, ten members of our family spent four very beautiful days at the Cichellero apartment. Outdoors it was extremely hot, but returning after walks to the apartment, the air-conditioning worked superbly. The apartment itself is spacious enough to comfortably accommodate a large group like ours, and it is tastefully furnished with artwork by Marc Chagall among others. Evenings in the living room had an atmosphere of intimacy in a bourgeois setting of the 1930s. We simply had a marvelous time. The view on the Giudecca is breathtaking. Giorgio is a very nice fellow, who explained all the rules and regulations clearly and with whom we could relate as with a friend, rather than a landlord. I very strongly recommend renting this apartment.

We are a family of 12 (ages 7-77) and we ALL loved this apartment. The space is elegant and very Venetian, the views are breath taking (french doors to a small balcony off the Master bedroom) and the neighborhood is peaceful. We appreciated having basic supplies (salt/pepper. soap etc) stocked for our arrival. The vaporatto stop is very close….making it easy to move around. Also, the elevator to the apartment is a wonderful thing after a day of walking and climbing Venice. Giorgio is a wealth of information. We cannot wait to come back!

We were a group of 8 adults (four couples over 50) who rented the apartments for four nights in April. The location in the Dorsoduro is just fantastic with only a walkway between the building and the water providing fantastic views and sunsets. A well-provisioned food store and a great wine shop are within a 10 minute walk. The neighbourhood was very quiet at night. There are actually two connected apartments in this property and we rented both to accommodate our large group. The décor is eclectic and comfortable with engaging art on the walls and lots interesting touches. The ‘front’ apartment has a large livingroom/diningroom area that was perfect for socializing. Both apartments have well equipped modern kitchens and it was very straight forward to cook our meals there. The bathrooms are spacious and the plumbing in order. While the space was perfect for our group, like all properties there are some small drawbacks. There is a lack of clothes storage space in the bedrooms (even some hooks with hangars would have helped). Although the beds were comfortable, the 3 of the 4 bedrooms are fairly small for the beds and so one cannot get in and out of the bed from both sides. Our host, Giorgio, was extremely helpful (in excellent English), both with advice for finding our way to provisions, restaurants and key aspects of Venice, but also with very good explanations of how to work everything in the apartment including the appliances. Over all, this rental was an excellent experience and one that we would happily repeat.
