Casa Sissi, incantevole appartamento con terrazza! Overview

First Impressions

Casa Sissi, incantevole appartamento con terrazza! sits tucked away on Calle dei Boteri in the San Polo district, and honestly, finding it feels like discovering a secret that only locals know about. This four-star apartment rental captures that authentic Venetian living experience you can’t get in a traditional hotel — I mean, you’re literally staying in someone’s beautifully restored home rather than a cookie-cutter room. The moment you step inside, there’s this immediate sense that you’ve found something special, something that feels genuinely Venetian rather than touristy.

The Space and That Terrazza

What really sets this place apart is the terrazza mentioned right in the name — and trust me, it delivers. You know how rare outdoor space is in Venice, so having your own private terrace feels almost indulgent. The apartment itself has this wonderful lived-in elegance, with period details that remind you you’re staying in a city that’s been continuously inhabited for over a thousand years. The kitchen is actually functional (not just for show like some rentals), which means you can grab fresh ingredients from the Rialto Market and prepare a simple meal while watching the light change over the rooftops.

San Polo Neighborhood

Being in San Polo puts you right in the heart of things, but not in that overwhelming way that happens near San Marco. You’re a few minutes’ walk from the Rialto Bridge, yet the immediate area around Calle dei Boteri maintains this residential feel where you’ll see actual Venetians going about their daily lives. There’s a wonderful little bacaro just around the corner — the kind of place where locals stop for their morning coffee and evening spritz. The location really shines for couples, which makes sense given the feedback from previous guests who’ve rated it highly for romantic getaways.

Daily Life Here

What I love about staying here is how it changes your rhythm in Venice. Instead of rushing from sight to sight, you find yourself taking breaks on the terrazza, maybe with a glass of wine from the Veneto region and some cicchetti you picked up earlier. The apartment gives you space to breathe — literally and figuratively — in a city that can sometimes feel overwhelming. You’ll probably find yourself lingering over morning coffee longer than usual, planning your day while listening to the sounds of the neighborhood waking up below.

Why Guests Love It

The combination of authentic Venetian living with modern comfort is what makes Casa Sissi work so well. You get that sense of being a temporary local rather than just another tourist, especially when you’re relaxing on your private terrazza as the evening light hits the surrounding buildings. The San Polo location means you’re close enough to everything important but far enough from the crowds to actually enjoy some peace. For couples especially, there’s something romantic about having your own Venetian hideaway — complete with that precious outdoor space — that you just can’t replicate in a standard hotel room.
