We loved this apartment. It was just my husband and I, but we wanted to stay in a nice place with a great view in a quieter area.

Great property, comfortable and clean. There was some difficulty in getting into the property and explaining how everything in the apartment worked and the electricity does not support a dryer which isn't a big deal but we were not taught how to use the washer/dryer and it caused a power outage and we didn't know where or how to turn the power back on. We finally got it worked out but the communication barrier made it a little difficult. The location and again the property was awesome just a minor setback which was resolved. Thanks for the great stay.

Wonderful stay

This was the perfect apartment for five adults. Ideal location in the residential Castello neighborhood easily serviced by water taxis and gondolas. Nearby shopping and restaurants. Paolo was so helpful arranging a water taxi for us from the train station and offered valuable tips that made our first trip to Venice so memorable. Grazie!

We really enjoyed our stay in this fabulous property. We found it to be spotlessly clean and exactly as seen in the advert. We also appreciated that Paola met us at the vaporetto stop and walked us to the property. We were two couples and found the apartment to be roomy and equipped with anything that we needed for our week’s stay. The pièce de resistance was without doubt the windows onto the canal. We could easily have spent the entire week sitting, watching the comings and goings of Venice life underneath the windows. Only the fact that we were so near the main highlights of Venice, dragged us away. We also loved the very typical local square that was 2 minutes walk from the apartment. We highly recommend this apartment for a stay in Venice which is very convenient to all the attractions but yet in a quiet oasis. The only improvement we would suggest would be the provision of some extra towels to accommodate being able to wash them more conveniently. Book this apartment - you won’t be disappointed.

A first time away for our three generational family group. All parts of old Venice are easily accessible from the place in a quiet alley. The owners are easy to talk to and helpful while the property has all you would need for an opportunity to experience Venice and appreciate all it has to offer, which is a lot more than moist tourists see.

This apartment was spacious, clean and in a wonderful location. We are a family of four and had plenty of room. The mattresses could be better, that was our only complaint. Overall great experience.

friendly reliable prompt helpful

This is one of the best units we have stayed in for location.

We had a wonderful stay in Venice. The home was clean and in a perfect location. We enjoyed watching the gondola's go by for hours on end. The loft was a perfect space for our teenage son. It is conveniently located close to 2 grocery stores, quick pizza and pastries. Getting around was also very easy from this central location yet quiet and off the main streets. We would highly recommend this rental.

Everything we needed to enjoy a few days in Venice. We really enjoyed overlooking the canal. Watching gondoliers navigate the waterway right below our window was a highlight.

I can't imagine a more perfect place for a family to stay in Venice. Less than 10 minutes walk from Piazza San Marco and Rialto Bridge, overlooking two bridges and an intersection of two canals frequented by so many gondoliers that there are often "gondola traffic jams"! We spent hours watching them navigate the turns, duck under bridges, and call out to each other to warn of their approach. Amazing. There is a square, Piazza Santa Maria Formosa, very close by (1 minute walk) with restaurants, shops, a market, a cafe, a gondola dock... Everything. There is a grocery store just about 3 minutes away. The location can't be beat. The apartment itself is very clean and well-appointed. We were there during an extreme heat wave so the AC struggled to keep up but if we closed the shutters when we were gone, it helped the place stay cool for when we needed it to be. In addition to the two main floor bedrooms, which could sleep 4 comfortably, the "attic" space is the ideal location for a tween or teen who wants their own lair. The ceiling is low so the adults won't want to go up there to bother them. It was too hot to enjoy the outdoor terrace on the top floor but the views from the main floor living room and kitchen were better anyway so we didn't miss it. Our only regret is that we didn't eat in the restaurant below the apartment with its table that is just inches from the canal... That looks like something couples should try! Stop looking and book this place.

Our whole family really enjoyed this VRBO. It had everything we needed and we loved the location.. We would definitely stay at this property again.

This apartment is huge by European standards and is right in the middle of everything, but still quiet enough to relax and enjoy your espresso overlooking one of the canals. 10 minute walk to St Marks Square, 5 minute walk to Rialto Bridge. We purchased the 3 day vaporetto pass but really didn’t need it as everything was walkable. 2 grocery stores nearby and several restaurants and bakeries within walking distance. Washer/dryer combo was nice, although the dryer would Trip the breaker so we just air dried our clothes overnight. Highly recommended!!

The apartment was perfect! It was very clean and spacious and had everything we needed during our 3 night stay. The view from our kitchen window was spectacular! We overlooked a channel and enjoyed watching the gondolas pass through while enjoying our morning coffee. The location of the apartment was great. Close to restaurants and shopping but out of the hustle bustle. Check in was very easy. We loved our stay in Rialto and would definitely stay in this apartment again.

This apartment was the saving grace of our visit to Venice. Venice itself so full of tourists that is seems disneyesque. However, this apartment is so perfectly located that it saved us from that overwhelming tourist feeling. We sat in the living room windows for hours, watching the canals, and the gondoliers pass by. The view from this apartment is unrivaled. It is not only clean and well cared for, its location allows you to enjoy a quieter Venice, while still being right in the middle of it. We loved the convenience of having Al Barbacani right down stairs, but there are many wonderful places nearby. We had a wonderful stay in Venice thanks to this lovely property.

Awesome

What a beautiful little gem! The apartment is right on a quiet canal, but steps from everything. The location exceeded our expectations. The apartment was so tasteful and sparkling clean. We were obsessed with the views. This place is unforgettable! ♥️

This is a the one! Dont wait, Book it!! Super cute corner apt up 2 flights of stairs. We loved being on a small canal watching the gondolas go by. FYI Venice has luggage porters and you can rent to take your luggage to and from the apartment! Ask the owner for a contact number!

What a special property! Much better even that photos! Spectacular view and extremely comfortable and modern inside. 3 bedrooms great for family and teens.

We stayed for 3 nights at the beginning of April. It worked great for our family of 5 (3 teens). Great neighborhood, loved the view and was close to everything. Definitely recommend

The apartment was great! The view of the canals from the window was like a painting. The owner was helpful and patient as we adjusted our arrival time due to a missed flight. The location was quiet but an easy walk everywhere. Thank you!

Over all we had a great stay. The views from the windows were as advertised; in fact better. Granted Venice is beautiful from almost every angle but you won’t be deprived of its beauty for one moment at this apartment. While the hosts were kind and communicative, the arrival was a bit awkward. Paola met us late (for a €30 surcharge), being that a meeting was necessary due to the complicated nature of it (and Venice). The apartment is tucked away, up several flights of stairs, on an inconspicuous alley. For convenience, we elected to arrive by water taxi (being that it was late) and Paula did not give good instructions. She should’ve just told us to tell the taxi driver to drop us at Campo Santa Maria Formosa. Instead she went on about how we should tell the taxi driver to drop us nearby Ristorante Ai Barbacani, etc.,which is located downstairs (which is a lovely dining experience, by the way). The stress she created by not giving clear instructions was unwelcome as the arrival after a day of international travel is always going to be stressful, and every little thing can lead to a big problem. That was entirely avoidable. The other thing I would say is it’s time for them to replace the mattresses pillows and linens. I didn’t sleep that well. Overall, great stay. I’d think about staying there again, but be aware that it’s not a five-star experience in every regard.

The view from this apartment is so lovely. It is in a great location to watch gondolas from the window, but also in a quiet area. It was very close to many sites, restaurants, and shipping within walking distance. We were staying with our two teenagers and it was great to have 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. It was also nice to have a space to hang out in the living room. The WiFi was fast and Paola was very helpful with check in and info about Venice.

What a beautiful and convenient apartment! We were near or near transport to everything we wanted to do, including Murano, the Basilica and Doges’ Palace, and the museums. Close to the Rialto Bridge in the Castello neighborhood, this jewel of a place felt like home. The view of the canal was so fun to see every day! Many thanks Paola and Carmen.

Our group of five adults thoroughly enjoyed the apartment. It's in a great location just five minutes' walk from both San Marco and the Rialto, and eight from F. Te Nuvo - so very easy to get to from all forms of transport. It's comfortable, well equipped and very good value for money, with no fuss contact with the owners. Would recommend.

Our family had a wonderful stay! The apartment is everything described - and better. We enjoyed the great view of the canals during meals at the dining table. The kids curled right up in the cozy loft. The showers and bathrooms were amazing! Paola was super helpful in advice and setting up a water taxi back to the airport. We had a great time in Venice! We even took the gondola ride right past the beautiful flat! The apartment was a great home base to see everything, with grocery stores, great restaurants, and shopping all just outside the door! We would definitely stay here again if we return to Venice! Thank you for the amazing family memories!

What a find! Perfect location, remodeled modern and clean apartment. Centrally located but very quiet. Top floor so it is well above the water. Easy walk to Rialto or San Marco. Thank you Paola!

We were amazed at how much space we had. Perfect for our family of 4. Large kitchen with separate living room and 2 full baths. Perfect location, walkable to anywhere. Will stay again. Thankyou for sharing your place with us .

A great property well appointed with two baths and some great people watching out over the breakfast table

We loved sitting at the dining table watching the gondoliers and listening to their call. The apartment was furnished comfortably and tastefully. It was very close to San Marco and Rialto. It was easy to get to all the sights in Venice. Lots of dining choices (Restaurant Barbacani just outside the door!) close by and the grocery store down the street offered options if you prefer to dine at home. Paola arranged for a porter to help with our luggage and was responsive to all our questions. I highly recommend this property for a convenient and memorable stay without all the crowds.

You will be fascinated by the activity happening right before your eyes as you gaze out the windows of your apartment, viewing the working boats, the water taxis, and especially the gondolas! Carmen and Paola are very accommodating and helpful in arranging your arrival and departure and whatever else you need in between. Obviously, my husband and I had a great time staying in this apartment in such a special location in Venice. Beth Hatch, September 2002
