The surrounding Castello district, Venice’s largest sestiere, offers a glimpse into authentic local life while still maintaining proximity to the city’s celebrated landmarks.

As evening falls and the day’s tourists depart, experience the magical transformation of Venice into a quieter, more intimate city. From this perfectly positioned flat, the gentle lapping of water against ancient stones and the soft glow of streetlamps reflecting on the canals create an atmosphere that has inspired poets, painters, and dreamers for centuries.

• Felipe from Czech Republic – 12 November 2023 (10/10)

  We loved everything! Nikos was very helpful and made the difference for our stay. Since the beginning gave us all the tips and advices how to get from the airport to the property. The view of the canal is really charming and Venice itself is an wonderful stay.
  If one day we will be back on Venice, for sure we gonna stay there again.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing at all.

• Duncan from United Kingdom – 15 September 2024 (9/10)

  Amazing location, Nikos was helpful and even held onto our luggage which was hugely useful. Bedroom is beautiful and the view from the window onto the canal feels very Venetian.
  
  What could be improved: Shower is very cramped and changes temperature a fair bit. The TV isn’t smart so is fairly useless for tourists (not a huge problem as you mostly want to be out in Venice!)

• John from United Kingdom – 13 September 2024 (10/10)

• Lisa from Canada – 26 April 2024 (10/10)

  Nikos is a great host. He sent really detailed instructions on how to get to the property from the airport. Once we got off the boat he also included maps and images which made it crystal clear where we were going. It was easy to reach him and he was available for questions. He even swung by to clean the apartment during our one week stay. The apartment is spaceous and comfortable and is just like the images online. Wifi worked great and he left some goodies in the apartment to greet us when we arrived. Perfecto!

• Kirill from Czech Republic – 10 March 2024 (10/10)

  Everything is super. The host Nikos provides you each possible and impossible information, instructions how to reach apartment, how to use everything inside, where is everything in the location around. The apartment is cleaned, warm and equiped by all necesseties. The window looks at the marvelous vew. San Marco Castle is nearby.
  The apartment is in the second floor, so please pay attention that you should come there by foot, if you have some problem with it.

• João from Brazil – 21 September 2023 (10/10)

  Wonderful stay in Venice! The flat is incredibly spacious, with a huge bedroom, a nice bathroom, and a fully furnished kitchen – even with coffee, tea, wine, and a bottle of prosecco at your disposal. The view of the canal is breathtaking. From the balcony, you can watch gondolas passing by, and you'll often hear some singing as well. Last but not least, our host Nikos was absolutely outstanding: very friendly from the beginning to the end, extremely helpful, and attentive. He even provided us with several tips on tourist routes to make the most of our visit to Venice
