Casa di Silvia & Daniele

Casa di Silvia & Daniele Overview

First Impressions

Walking down Calle dell’Olio on Giudecca island, you’ll spot Casa di Silvia & Daniele tucked away in what honestly feels like Venice’s best-kept secret. This three-star guesthouse doesn’t scream for attention — it’s more like discovering a friend’s perfectly appointed apartment that happens to welcome guests. The entrance is understated in that effortlessly Italian way, and you immediately sense you’ve found something special that most tourists rushing between San Marco and the Rialto will never stumble upon.

Location & Neighborhood

Here’s the thing about Giudecca — it’s technically Venice, but it feels like you’re staying in a completely different city. You’re literally a five-minute vaporetto ride from St. Mark’s Square, yet the moment you step off the boat, the crowds disappear and you’re walking along quiet fondamenta with locals heading to the market. The location score of 9.1 makes perfect sense when you realize you get those iconic Venice canal views without the chaos. I mean, you can actually hear yourself think here, which is saying something in Venice.

The Rooms

The accommodations at Casa di Silvia & Daniele feel authentically Venetian without trying too hard. You know how some places pile on the period furniture until it feels like a museum? Not here. The rooms strike that perfect balance between character and comfort — think exposed beams and original details, but with modern bathrooms that actually work properly. The beds are genuinely comfortable (not always a given in historic Italian properties), and the windows frame those postcard views of the Giudecca Canal that couples absolutely love.

Daily Rhythms

Mornings here have this lovely, unhurried quality that’s hard to find elsewhere in Venice. You’ll start your day watching the city wake up across the water — vaporettos beginning their routes, locals opening their shutters. The breakfast setup is simple but thoughtful, with proper Italian coffee and fresh pastries. What I really appreciate is how the hosts, Silvia and Daniele, seem to genuinely care about your experience without being overbearing. They’ll point you toward the best bacaro for cicchetti or suggest which vaporetto line to take to avoid the tourist crush.

Why Guests Love It

Couples consistently rate this place highly because it delivers something increasingly rare in Venice — authenticity without sacrificing comfort. You’re staying in a real Venetian neighborhood where people actually live and work, not just a theme park version of the city. The combination of that excellent location, the peaceful Giudecca setting, and the personal touch from the hosts creates exactly what most travelers are secretly hoping for. It’s Venice, but it’s also a place where you can relax, recharge, and feel like you’re experiencing the city rather than just checking it off a list.

Reviews of Casa di Silvia & Daniele

• Cheuk from France – 27 February 2025 (8/10)

  The apartment is spacious with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Kitchen has all the kitchenwares. The flat and bedrooms are luminous.
  
  The location is very good. 1 min walk to supermarket and 2 min walk to the cafes and piers.
  
  What could be improved: The guide information is not localise. The agent sent us some company tour visits web page when we asked for any special recommendations.
  
  If they could put some local restaurant addresses recommandation in the house leaflet will be good.

• Grace from United Kingdom – 25 October 2024 (9/10)

  Great flat- I wish I lived here. Super cool view and well equipped. Great sound system and comfy chairs and cosy bedrooms, cool style.
  
  What could be improved: The lamp got hot and burned my son’s finger. Easily remedied. Remove that lamp if you have kids around!

• Melina from Argentina – 19 October 2024 (9/10)

  Lugar espacioso, buena ubicación, bien equipado.
  
  What could be improved: Solo agregaría más mosquiteros para las ventanas. Lo demás es exelente

• Pablo from Brazil – 21 May 2024 (9/10)

  O ambiente super aconchegante, limpo, organizado e bem localizado! Camas confortáveis e muitos restaurantes por perto.

• Edyta from Poland – 6 May 2024 (9/10)

  Cicha okolica, apartament duży i przestronny, wygodne łóżka i dwie łazienki, bardzo dobrze wyposażona kuchnia, wi-fi działa jak należy. Jedyna kwestia to położenie, ponieważ do placu Św. Marka trzeba dopłynąć tramwajem wodnym. Dla nas to była atrakcja, natomiast było to dodatkowo płatne. W pobliżu super zaopatrzony sklep i pyszne jedzenie w restauracjach.
  
  What could be improved: Brakowało czajnika elektrycznego

• Cristina from United Kingdom – 13 February 2024 (8/10)

  Location, comfortable bed and lounge. Lovely flat, useful to have two bathrooms. Kitchen was good with opportunity to eat at home when we wanted. Enough pots and pans/Crockery for a quiet dinner in, in between eating out. Place was very clean. Generally quiet block and considerate neighbours.
  
  What could be improved: Sometimes it's the small things. None are deal breakers but if I have to be picky we could not find an iron or anything to sweep up after ourselves in the days we were there. There was probably a utility room but it was locked and we didn't feel strongly enough about any of this to contact the property managers for further advice. Mokas had not seen a lot of use and making our own coffee was a bit sketchy. There was a trad style filter machine. Must stress again not really important things but given the price of the rentals a modern espresso machine or access to basic household items would have been nice (and prev available in similar, other rentals in the area)

• Pawel from Poland – 27 August 2023 (9/10)

  Wszystko ok, wysoki standard duży metraż , czysto .
  
  What could be improved: Napewno w upalne dni brak klimy

• Miriam from Czech Republic – 4 August 2023 (7/10)

  The apartment was completely furnished and equipped. Two bathrooms were great. The place was clean.
  
  What could be improved: There were a lot of mosquitos because there were no nets in the windows. It would be fine if there was air conditioning. This is how you have to choose between mosquitoes and heat. One night we couldn't sleep because of mosquitoes and in the morning we had itchy eyelids. For the next night we rather chose heat.

• Peter from Germany – 12 May 2023 (9/10)

  großzügige Räume, hell, komfortabel und geschmackvoll eingerichtet.

• Denis from Belgium – 16 June 2022 (9/10)

  La qualité du mobilier, l'arragement avec style et sans surcharge, pas de fautes de goût, très beau volume de vie. très lumineux. quartier residentiel très calme.
  
  What could be improved: rien.
