Reviews

• David from New Zealand – 3 June 2024 (10/10)

  The apartment is so close to the Giardini and Arsenale for viewing the Art Biannale. But if we come back to Venice we will stay there again because it is out of the tourist areas, feels more authentic, and has plenty of restaurants and supermarket/bakers/greengrocers so close. (Doesn’t take long to walk to St Marco if you want). Apartment is on the top floor so is nice and light.

• Mieke from Netherlands – 19 March 2025 (9/10)

• Mizuki from Italy – 2 January 2025 (10/10)

  Very comfortable rooms and convenient location near the local area and a vaporetto stop.
  
  What could be improved: Everything was amazing. The door lock was very hard so we a bit of struggle entering once.

• John from South Africa – 31 August 2024 (10/10)

  Off the tourist track but easy to reach from the airport; quiet location but close to Via Garibaldi with excellent restaurants, supermarket etc. Natalia could not have been more welcoming.

• Philippe from Belgium – 1 August 2024 (10/10)

  Spacious for 2 people, very good location
  Very nice decorated apartment. We come back

• Belsaita from Spain – 6 July 2024 (10/10)

  We have been to Venezia many times over the years, mostly to visit the Art Biennale. This was the best place ever! The location is excellent, in between the Arsenale and Giardini venues, in a lovely neighbourhood, out of the busy touristy areas, but near to a supermarket, bakeries and plenty of restaurants. The apartment is very comfortable, and it had everything we needed for a short stay. We especially loved the decoration with beautiful vintage items and great attention to detail. Natalia, the host, was very friendly and introduced us to everything. Now, we just hope to be able to stay there again in our future visits to Venezia!
  
  What could be improved: It was not a problem for us, but mind you need to climb a couple of steep sets of stairs to reach the apartment.

• Luc from Belgium – 6 July 2024 (10/10)

  We appreciated that it is close to the Biennale and Via Garribaldi. It also was very quiet and …the service of Natalia was excellent (we reported that the coffee machine was slow and Natalia immediately gave us a new one).

• Helen from United Kingdom – 14 June 2024 (10/10)

  The apartment was very comfortable – spacious, beautifully clean and tastefully decorated, with interesting art work and furnishings. We loved its quirky character – although the building is old and the apartment still has authentic features, the modern fixtures ensure that everything works well for comfort and ease: effective air conditioning, a good shower, washing machine etc. Natalia was an excellent host, meeting us on arrival and explaining how everything worked in very good English. The location suited us perfectly – it was our first visit to Venice so we wanted to see some of the attractions at St Mark’s Square, which was easy walking distance. Castello is less busy, but still has a great atmosphere – lots of bars and restaurants on the Via Garibaldi, lovely walks along the waterfront and in the gardens. We hadn’t chosen the apartment specifically for its proximity to the Biennale art exhibition but had thought we would check it out – Natalia also recommended it so we bought day tickets. So glad we did – it was a brilliant experience and gave us the opportunity to look around the Arsenale ship yard where some of the installations were located. The property is a short walk from vaporetto stops Arsenale and Giardini which we found handy for getting to and from the railway station. The rest of the time we did lots of walking and exploring different areas of Venice.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing. There is no TV which suited us fine, but maybe some visitors would miss? We did cook on a couple of occasions – a wooden spoon would have been useful but a very minor detail!
