7º Cielo Comfort Apartment Venice – Mestre

7º Cielo Comfort Apartment Venice – Mestre Overview

You know, when I first rolled up to the 7º Cielo Comfort Apartment in Mestre – that’s on Via Forte Marghera, right in the thick of things but not overwhelmingly so – I was honestly relieved after the chaos of navigating Venice’s train system. Mestre’s the mainland side, you see, and it’s got this unpretentious vibe that’s a world away from the tourist crush on the islands. I mean, parking was a breeze here compared to anywhere near the lagoon – there’s spots nearby if you’re driving in from the autostrada, and I didn’t have to circle for ages like I did last time in Padova. The building itself? It’s modern without trying too hard, with that clean, white facade that catches the afternoon sun just right. Check-in was straightforward – the host met me at the door with a quick rundown in broken English (and my even more broken Italian), handed over the keys, and boom, I was in. No fuss, no long lines like at those big hotels over in Santa Lucia station.

What really sold me on this place, though – and it’s rated a solid 8.6 for good reason – is how it feels like a proper apartment, not some sterile room. Four stars, sure, but it’s more about the lived-in comfort: a full kitchen with that espresso machine I abused every morning (the coffee smell wafting through was heavenly), comfy beds that didn’t leave me aching after a day of walking Venice’s bridges, and even a little balcony where I sipped wine watching the locals zip by on Vespas. It’s on a busy street, Via Forte Marghera, so there’s some traffic hum during the day – honestly, pack earplugs if you’re a light sleeper – but it quiets down nicely after dark, especially in the off-season like early spring when I went. You’re steps from the bus stop that shoots you straight to Piazzale Roma in about 10-15 minutes, which is a lifesaver for day trips to the canals without paying island prices. And Mestre itself? Underrated – I wandered to nearby spots like the little park along the Marzenego canal for a quiet picnic, or grabbed cheap panini at that family-run spot on Via Piave, just a short walk away. It’s not glamorous, but it’s real Italian life, you know? The apartment’s got AC that actually works (crucial in humid summers), and the Wi-Fi held up for streaming after long days – though it did glitch once during a rainstorm, but hey, that’s Italy for you.

All in all, if you’re plotting a Venice trip but want to stretch your euros, this is your spot. It’s not right in the historic center – well, that’s the point, to escape the crowds and high costs – but with the easy transport links, you get the best of both worlds. I left feeling like I’d found a smart hack for the area, and I’d book it again in a heartbeat, especially for a longer stay where that homey setup lets you cook up some pasta after exploring. Just remember, summer gets packed, so snag it early if you’re going then.
