Ae Botti Apartment

Hotel Description

Nestled in the serene Giudecca district of Venice, the 3-star Ae Botti Apartment offers a charming retreat away from the bustling tourist centers while maintaining easy access to the city’s iconic attractions. Located at Calle del Pistor 650, this well-appointed establishment has earned a solid 7.4 rating from satisfied guests who appreciate its authentic Venetian character and comfortable accommodations. The Giudecca island provides a glimpse into local Venetian life, separated from the main islands by the picturesque Giudecca Canal, offering spectacular views of the main city and a more relaxed atmosphere than the often crowded central districts.

The Ae Botti Apartment combines traditional Venetian aesthetics with modern comforts, making it an ideal choice for travelers seeking an immersive experience in the floating city. From the apartment, guests can easily access Venice’s famous water transportation system, with vaporetto stops connecting to St. Mark’s Square, the Rialto Bridge, and other landmark destinations within minutes. The Giudecca area itself is home to notable attractions including the majestic Il Redentore church designed by renowned architect Andrea Palladio, the historic Molino Stucky (now a luxury hotel), and charming local restaurants serving authentic Venetian cuisine away from the tourist markup of central Venice. Art enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to contemporary galleries that have established themselves on this increasingly vibrant island, including collections housed in repurposed industrial buildings that speak to Giudecca’s working-class heritage.

What sets Ae Botti Apartment apart is its ability to provide an authentic Venetian experience while maintaining the conveniences modern travelers expect. The apartment’s respectable 7.4 rating reflects guests’ satisfaction with its cleanliness, amenities, and value for money in a city known for its premium pricing. Many reviewers specifically mention appreciating the residential feel of the Giudecca location, which allows for peaceful evenings after days spent exploring Venice’s busy attractions. The apartment itself features traditional Venetian elements such as exposed beam ceilings and local craftsmanship, harmoniously blended with contemporary furnishings. From the windows, guests can observe the rhythms of daily Venetian life—laundry hanging between buildings, locals chatting in cafés, children playing in small campi (squares), and boats of all descriptions plying the waters. For travelers seeking to experience Venice as more than just a tourist destination—to feel, if only temporarily, like a resident of this extraordinary floating city—Ae Botti Apartment offers the perfect balance of accessibility, comfort, and authentic Venetian character. Whether you’re sipping morning coffee while watching the sunrise illuminate the lagoon or returning after a day of exploration through Venice’s labyrinthine streets, this 3-star gem provides a genuine home in one of the world’s most magical cities.

Reviews

• Wendy from United States – 13 July 2024 (8/10)

  Great location almost on the harbor at Giudecca, right across from Central Venice.
  
  What could be improved: A few things were not working: shower door and toilet seat were broken, minisplit was leaking water. Owner was aware and said he would repair these all after our visit.

• Nik from Malaysia – 17 March 2024 (7/10)

  The advertising was rather misleading! We were led to understand that our accommodation package included free breakfast but only foundout after messaging to inquire on and waiting for the breakfast that we could go to their nearby restaurant and enjoy some discounts! This was soooo disaapointing. Also the location though not technically far but was not on the main island and we had to incur more costs to take a water taxi. So these issues spoiled an otherwise fairly enjoyable stay!
  
  What could be improved: see above!

• Sam from United Arab Emirates – 16 October 2023 (6/10)

  Helpful owner, kept our luggage after check out and offered us free cake and drinks for not having the extra bed set up.
  Good location right next to a ferry port.
  
  What could be improved: Place is pretty old, no AC in one of the rooms and hard to get there.

• Maria from Malta – 20 October 2024 (7/10)

  Flat was easy to get to once you get off the boat stop of Palanca.
  
  What could be improved: Dishes in the kitchen were not clean. Heating was not turned on. It got cold in the evening.

• Armando from Ireland – 27 September 2024 (9/10)

  What could be improved: Being in the ground floor it was a bit darker.

• Wojteknt from Poland – 22 September 2023 (1/10)

  Location close to the stop Vaporetto.
  
  What could be improved: 1. The owner of the facility is cheating and even though it says "breakfast included" in the offer, there is no breakfast.
  We got rusks, 3 small jams, a few express teas for a family of 4 with a small, 2-year-old child (I am adding a photo of breakfasts for a family of 4 for two days).
  After reporting the problem, the manager suggested for breakfast the next day, and I quote: "I invite you to the restaurant for crossaints and cappuccino."
  For the entire stay we had to stock the fridge with the products to have the breakfasts we paid for!
  2. As if that wasn't enough, Massimo (that's the name of the contact person) wanted to cheat me at the end of the stay by making me pay the tourist tax for the stay, even though I had done it when booking the stay, which was confirmed on the Booking.com hotline.
  The Booking.com consultant confirmed that the tourist tax had been collected at the time of booking and I don't have to pay anything else.
  We were not the only ones who were deceived when it comes to breakfast, other people's opinions about this place prove the same.
  I DO NOT RECOMMEND.

• Angela from France – 8 December 2024 (5/10)

  The location was good – just a short water taxi from the train station. It was also nice to stay off the main island on Venice. There are cafes and restaurants nearby as well as small grocery stores. The bidet was an added bonus.
  
  What could be improved: This apartment has lots of potential and is very spacious. Some suggested improvements are: no stains on bed linens, get rid of mold in shower, provide soap and shampoo, provide a small amount of laundry detergent and more toilet paper – those necessities that travellers do not readily carry.

• Aurélie from Luxembourg – 14 August 2024 (4/10)

  The location was good. We had easy access to puplic transport so it was very easy to reach without a car.
  
  What could be improved: The Appartement was not very clean and had a moldy smell in some of the rooms. Especially the kitchen was not clean. Some of the dishes seemed like they had not been properly washed.

• Fabián from Chile – 27 June 2024 (7/10)

  Excelente conectividad, seguridad y tranquilidad. Incluye lavadora y secadora. Cama cómoda. Nos permitieron dejar las maletas después del check-out.
  
  What could be improved: Desayuno pobre. Sólo incluye unas galletas, un corneto, tostadas envasadas y te. Podría incluir pan fresco, fruta, jugo, u otros.
