Reviews

• Jaap from Netherlands – 21 July 2024 (8/10)

  • Exceptional Service: Karen was exceptionally nice and made sure everything was taken care of. Her hospitality truly stood out.
  • Prime Location: The suite’s location on the main canal is a one-in-a-million gem. We spent every morning and evening watching boats and gondolas floating by, which was absolutely fabulous.
  • Comfort and Ambiance: The suite offered a comfortable and romantic ambiance, perfect for a honeymoon.
  • Attention to Detail: Despite initial doubts due to the limited pictures and reviews, the property exceeded expectations with its attention to detail and overall quality.
  
  I am quite particular when it comes to choosing accommodations and can spend days finding the right location. At first, the honeymoon suite in Venice seemed like a bit of a gamble due to the limited pictures and reviews. However, this turned out to be one of the best decisions I ever made.
  
  Karen’s exceptional hospitality made our stay incredibly comfortable and enjoyable. She ensured everything was taken care of, allowing us to relax and enjoy our time in Venice. The suite’s porch on the main canal provided an unforgettable experience. Watching boats and gondolas floating by every morning and evening was a highlight of our trip.
  
  Although the entrance was initially difficult to find, the staff’s excellent assistance quickly resolved this issue. The two days we spent here were definitely too short, and I am already planning to return to Venice. Without a doubt, I would not consider staying anywhere else. This honeymoon suite is a true gem, offering a unique and magical experience that exceeded all my expectations.
  
  What could be improved: Like a hidden gem.. The entrance was a bit hidden as well. The staff helped me excellent, and waited for me to arrive and guide us to the property.

• James from Iran – 8 August 2024 (9/10)

  The location is excellent. There are many shops and restaurants within a few minutes walk from the location. There's a dock right at the property for pickups and drop-offs, which was convenient for our early 8 AM flight.
  
  The staff was in constant contact with me before check-in, making me feel comfortable about finding the place. They provided detailed instructions on which boat taxi line to take, the correct stop to get off at, and then met us to walk us to the property. The owner is a very sweet lady that lives upstairs. She let us borrow her scale when we lost our luggage scale before our flight home.
  
  The room is on the smaller side but comfortable for my wife and me. There is an older AC unit in the room, which was fantastic during our stay when the temperatures were in the upper 80s and lower 90s. Be sure to check the exhaust port on the back of the unit; it had some cracks and holes. While it was blowing cold air, the exhaust pipe was pumping hot air back into the room. We managed to secure the exhaust hose somewhat, which made it less of an issue.
  
  The real gem of this place is the dock right on the Grand Canal. The two windows in the room overlook the canal, providing a beautiful view. Right outside the room is a common area with a coffee machine and a small fridge. This room leads outside to your private dock with seating and a table on the canal. Sitting out there at sunset, enjoying some prosecco, was a great way to end each day, watching all the boats go by on the canal. Make sure to buy some bug spray; there are mosquitoes. While other reviews mentioned mosquitoes in the room, we did not have any issues, but we kept our windows closed the entire time. So, buy some bug spray and keep your windows closed, and it shouldn't be a problem.
  
  FYI – Venice is a maze. Use apple/google maps for walking directions everywhere. It will save you a lot of time.
  
  What could be improved: The wifi was very hit and miss, mostly miss during the entire stay. I let the owner know about this and hopefully gets worked on. Luckily we had ok cell service and was able to just look things up on our phone.

• Maria from Indonesia – 18 September 2023 (8/10)

  We loved the location and the balcony on the Grand Canal.
  
  What could be improved: There were few issues….but Karin the owner was amazing and all got sorted quickly.

• James from United States – 10 September 2024 (8/10)

  The personal dock right on the Grand Canal is an amazing feature and makes for a lovely place to enjoy your morning coffee.

• Graham from United Kingdom – 29 August 2024 (8/10)

  Magnificent location and setting on the grand canal
  
  What could be improved: As Venice was so hot the air conditioning could have been better and could benefit from having a safe in the room.

• Robert from United States – 25 June 2024 (9/10)

  Great location in a more residential area. Right on the canal so you wake up with the water and boats almost at water level. Water bus a short walk. Good WiFi allowing us to work with Zoom and email.
  
  What could be improved: AC was a portable unit that cooled the room quite well, but could have been quieter.

• Luxmore from United States – 1 May 2024 (9/10)

  This beautiful Venezian building is at the perfect location with an incredible view. You can sit and enjoy being ON the Grand Canal from the dock or your room. There is plenty of space on the main floor to use and it's still very private.
  
  What could be improved: Arriving was a bit challenging because the address is difficult to find. The bathroom does have a slight odor as well.

• Kevin from Singapore – 27 October 2023 (8/10)

  The balcony
  
  What could be improved: The garden light is not working

• Vindhya from India – 27 September 2024 (8/10)

  Loved the view from the patio and the entrance to the suite, it felt serene and a bit secluded.
  
  The host was helpful and very easily reachable.
  
  What could be improved: The locking system was not easy, our room door did not lock entirely, but the door before that did. However there were 3 different sets of keys to open, each time we entered, which took too much time.

• Stewart from Australia – 4 August 2024 (8/10)

  The location on the canal and the outdoor seating area directly on the Grand Canal. Nothing better that we saw.
  If you are after an authentic Venetian experience staying in an apartment on the water then this is for you.
  Takes a bit of finding but very unique place. The host sent someone to meet us at the water bus stop so that really helped us otherwise would have taken a bit of finding.
  
  What could be improved: With our luggage it was cramped space wise. Would suit a weekend traveler not a 5 week trip itinerary.
  Aircon died one night and it was unbearable. The host got it fixed next day.
  We knew it would be a bit different so we went with the flow.
