Melusina Homes

Hotel Description

Welcome to Melusina Homes, a charming 3-star accommodation nestled in the historic heart of Venice, Italy. This delightful property has earned an impressive 8.6 rating from previous guests, a testament to its exceptional service and authentic Venetian experience. Located in the picturesque Castello district, one of the city’s most characteristic neighborhoods, Melusina Homes offers various accommodations throughout Venice’s city center, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the true essence of this floating city.

The Castello district, where Melusina Homes is situated, represents the authentic soul of Venice, combining rich historical significance with a more relaxed atmosphere away from the most crowded tourist paths. As one of the oldest sestieri (districts) in Venice, Castello boasts narrow winding streets, charming canals, and hidden squares waiting to be discovered. From your accommodation, you’ll be within walking distance of iconic attractions such as the magnificent St. Mark’s Square (Piazza San Marco), the breathtaking St. Mark’s Basilica, and the historic Doge’s Palace. The renowned Rialto Bridge is also easily accessible, offering you the perfect vantage point to admire the Grand Canal and the bustling gondola traffic below. The district is home to the Arsenale, Venice’s historic shipyard and naval base, now a key venue during the famous Venice Biennale art exhibition. Additionally, the beautiful public gardens of Giardini della Biennale provide a refreshing green space in this water-bound city, perfect for a leisurely afternoon stroll after exploring the city’s cultural treasures.

What sets Melusina Homes apart is its unique concept of offering accommodations across different locations within Venice’s central areas, allowing guests to choose the setting that best suits their Venetian dreams. Each property within the Melusina collection is thoughtfully appointed to provide all the modern conveniences while maintaining the distinctive Venetian character, from traditional terrazzo floors to elegant Murano glass accents. The well-reviewed properties (boasting that impressive 8.6 rating) strike the perfect balance between comfort and authentic local experience. Whether you’re watching the sunset paint the terracotta rooftops from your window or stepping out your door directly into the vibrant daily life of a Venetian calle (street), Melusina Homes offers an immersive stay unlike typical hotel experiences. The attentive staff is known for their personalized service, providing insider recommendations to help you discover hidden bacari (wine bars) serving delicious cicchetti (Venetian tapas), tranquil corners away from the tourist throngs, and the most scenic routes for your Venetian explorations. With its combination of prime location in the Castello district, thoughtfully designed accommodations, and exceptional guest satisfaction reflected in its high rating, Melusina Homes presents the perfect base for travelers seeking to experience Venice beyond the postcard views – though those stunning vistas are certainly within easy reach too. Whether you’re a first-time visitor eager to check off the must-see landmarks or a returning traveler looking to delve deeper into Venice’s magical atmosphere, Melusina Homes provides the ideal starting point for your Venetian adventure.

Reviews

• Mignnon from United Arab Emirates – 3 July 2024 (9/10)

  Our Host Marine was extremely helpful. She shared necessary information such as how to get to the nearest water taxi stop from the Airport, location map etc and the keys were ready for us to immediately check-in. From the Ospedale stop(A direct boat ride from the Airport),the apartment is a 4 – 5 minute walk. What a beautiful Apartment it was with all the facilities and space good enough for a family of 5. The kitchen was stocked with coffee, sugar, salt, pepper, oil, etc, and for a few days, we cooked and had breakfast. There are ample of supermarket options in the surrounding area. All the places to visit was within walking distance. Except for the Murano and Burano Island Tours, the rest of the sightseeing was within walking distance. It is an ideal location for anyone wanting to spend a restful and peaceful holiday in Venice. It is one of the best holiday apartments I have stayed in.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing to dislike.

• Gul from Turkey – 6 August 2024 (9/10)

  Our house was 5-6 minutes walking distance from Ospedale boat station.. This was a great relief to us, so we walked a very short distance with our luggages. The house was very clean and very useful for our family of 4. There was no noise at night and we slept very well.
  
  What could be improved: One room had air conditioning, the other room had a fan. In better weather, this would not be a problem at all, but since it was very hot on the date of our stay, it was a minor problem for us. An excellent choice for a stay on cooler days, I would definitely recommend it.

• Nikki from United States – 1 July 2024 (9/10)

  The response time from the staff. Very beautiful apartment.
  
  What could be improved: Water taxi to Ospedale was tricky to navigate at first.

• Kseniia from Russia – 18 June 2024 (9/10)

  It's an amazing place. Perfect cleanliness. Friendly staff. A huge plus is that you can get from the Station Santa Lucia in 25 minutes, while there are few bridges along the way (this is a big plus). The room is very spacious, there is all the necessary equipment in the forge and in the bedroom. At night, you can sleep peacefully. The windows are in the apartment into the garden and there are few people here. At the same time, you will reach the Realto Bridge in 6 minutes.

• Maria from Portugal – 5 February 2024 (8/10)

  Lots of natural lights, comfortable beds, location
  
  What could be improved: Could hear all the sounds from the street

• Nara from Azerbaijan – 15 August 2023 (9/10)

  Good location, 3 minutes walk from water bus station, 10 min walk to the Per S.Marco. apartment was clean and well equipped for the comfort stay. We could leave and collect our bags easily for the late airport departure. Instructions for the online check-in and keys were communicated in time. Recommended 🙂 Marine was a pleasure to communicate, and thanks for the warm greetings!

• Owen from Ireland – 29 March 2023 (9/10)

  Stayed in Apartment 1. Great location 4 minutes walk from the hospital water taxi stop which also serves the airport shuttle taxi. Easy walk to Piazza San Marco and Realto through meandering streets and open plazas. Lots of restaurants and shops on the doorstep as well. The apartment is large, bright and quiet. Overlooking a garden. Fully equipped kitchen. Great heating system. Powerful shower. Strong WiFi. Comfortable bed in large bedroom. I will definitely stay here again and will bring friends so we can sit around the large dining table and cook food from the markets.

• Maria from Italy – 13 March 2023 (9/10)

  Great, bright flat off the beaten path. Very easy to get to from the water boat stop with a lovely selection of little restaurants close by. Communiction with the host was perfect. Plenty of lovely clean towels!
  
  What could be improved: It would have great to have feather down bedding for the winter. The bed in the bedroom could do with a new mattress or mattress topper as the springs can be felt quite a lot.

• Maria from Ireland – 15 September 2022 (9/10)

  Great location, very modern small apartment only a few steps away from all the action, lots of lovely places to eat close by.

• Josephine from Italy – 21 January 2025 (8/10)

  Location was convenient and quiet. Great to be in a local neighborhood away from the tourists. Apartment was light and bright and tranquil. Bathroom was small but functional. Kitchen was well-equipped.
  
  What could be improved: I was disappointed that there was no one to meet me on arrival. Only directions to the key box.
