La Casa di Sonia Apartment

Hotel Description

Welcome to La Casa di Sonia Apartment, an exceptional 3-star accommodation nestled in the historic heart of Venice, Italy. This charming apartment-style hotel boasts an impressive 9.6 rating from satisfied guests, placing it among the most highly-regarded lodging options in the city. Situated on Fondamenta San Giuseppe in the atmospheric Castello district, La Casa di Sonia offers an authentic Venetian experience away from the tourist crowds while remaining conveniently accessible to the city’s most celebrated attractions. The Castello area, Venice’s largest sestiere (district), provides a perfect blend of local culture and historic significance, allowing guests to experience the genuine rhythm of Venetian life.

Located at Castello 725, La Casa di Sonia Apartment enjoys a privileged position along one of Venice’s characteristic fondamenta (waterside walkways), offering enchanting views and immediate access to the city’s unique canal system. The property sits within walking distance of iconic landmarks such as St. Mark’s Square, the Doge’s Palace, and the renowned Arsenal of Venice—the historic shipyard that once powered the Venetian Republic’s naval dominance. The apartment’s location on Fondamenta San Giuseppe places guests in proximity to the Church of San Giuseppe, a beautiful example of Venetian sacred architecture, while the nearby Riva degli Schiavoni waterfront promenade offers breathtaking lagoon views and a pleasant route to many major attractions. The area surrounding La Casa di Sonia combines quiet residential charm with easy access to authentic local restaurants, artisanal shops, and hidden gems often missed by typical tourists.

What truly sets La Casa di Sonia Apartment apart, as reflected in its exceptional 9.6 rating, is its ability to provide guests with an immersive Venetian living experience rather than a standard hotel stay. This outstanding score—rarely achieved in Venice’s competitive accommodation market—speaks volumes about the quality of service, attention to detail, and overall guest satisfaction. Previous visitors consistently praise the apartment’s authentic character, which harmoniously blends traditional Venetian elements with modern comforts. The Castello district itself contributes significantly to the appeal of La Casa di Sonia, offering a more relaxed atmosphere compared to the bustling central areas around St. Mark’s Square, while still remaining within the historic fabric of Venice. Here, guests can wander through quiet campi (squares), discover local bacari (wine bars) serving traditional cicchetti (Venetian tapas), and experience daily Venetian life unfolding along picturesque canals. The apartment’s high rating also suggests exceptional cleanliness, comfort, and attentive management—crucial factors for a memorable stay in a city as unique and sometimes challenging to navigate as Venice. Whether you’re seeking a romantic retreat, a cultural immersion, or a comfortable base for exploring the floating city, La Casa di Sonia Apartment offers an authentic and highly-rated Venetian experience that consistently exceeds guests’ expectations.

Reviews

• Maricarmen from Puerto Rico – 2 February 2025 (10/10)

  It was clean and big. It had everything we needed to make our stay more comfortable and memorable.
  
  What could be improved: Maybe, to say something is that it was bit cold but we are from Puerto Rico and it’s a tropical weather there so we are not used to work with a heater system, so including instructions to adjust the heather will make it easier. But Sonia is so nice and easy to reach that if we asked she would’ve responded immediately. It was a lovely stay in general.

• Philippe from Belgium – 27 December 2024 (10/10)

  Everything including the quite location and the ease of access to bakeries, supermarkets, restaurants and more ….thank you Sonia !

• Rosa from Ireland – 8 November 2024 (10/10)

  Lovely apartment close to Giardini della Biennale in Venice.
  I know the area very well, it is very safe and there are many restaurants and cafeterias.
  It's the perfect location to visit the Biennale Exhibition.
  The "vaporetto" is 5 minutes walking distance.
  Sonia and her family are great hosts!
  
  What could be improved: Nothing, everything was great.

• Hjortedal from United States – 17 September 2024 (10/10)

  The property is located in a beautiful quiet neighborhood with plenty of local restaurants and shops.

• Jesse from United States – 27 May 2024 (10/10)

  The apartment was close to several excellent places to eat and a very short walk to the waterbus stop.

• Rosemarie from Italy – 22 April 2024 (9/10)

  Sonia was fantastic. Generous with her time, fetched us at the Vaporetto stop and provided lots of extra things, coffee, tea, breakfast etc in the apartment for us. Also gave us all the info we needed to know on a map.
  
  What could be improved: Unfortunately on 2 early morning occasions a lot of noise from neighbours upstairs. But this might just have been a once off.

• Agata from Poland – 9 April 2024 (10/10)

  Apartment located in a quiet area close to the center. The friendly host gave us tips how to explore the city. A place worth recommending.

• Fiona from United Kingdom – 7 April 2024 (9/10)

  Sonia gave us the keys a warm welcome and a tip on making coffee in the moka!

• Manisha from Germany – 4 April 2024 (10/10)

  The place is very nice. Clean, has everything you need and is close to the waterbus stop.

  What could be improved: Nothing!

• Zoltan from Hungary – 18 March 2024 (10/10)

  Sonia is an extremely friendly and helpful host. When we arrived, she was waiting for us at the vaporetto stop and walked with us to the apartment. The apartment is located in a calm, quiet area, close to the Giardino vaporetto stop. It is located on the ground floor, has all the necessary equipment, and comfortably accommodates 4 people. The pictures in this page correspond perfectly to reality.
  There are very good restaurants in the area that are worth trying.
  
  What could be improved: There was no such a thing. Venice is amazing as always.
