The island of Giudecca itself offers spectacular panoramic views of Venice’s main basin, with the silhouettes of domes and bell towers creating a breathtaking backdrop, particularly at sunset when the lagoon waters reflect the golden light. Guests can enjoy leisurely strolls along Giudecca’s wide promenade, discovering local cafés, artisan workshops, and restaurants where Venetians themselves dine.

What truly sets Residenza Casanova apart, as reflected in its stellar 9.7 rating, is its ability to provide an authentic Venetian experience while maintaining exceptional comfort and service. The apartment’s location on Giudecca island offers the best of both worlds – peaceful respite from Venice’s tourist crowds and convenient access to major landmarks via frequent water transportation. The southern-facing position of Giudecca means that the Residenza enjoys abundant natural light, illuminating its carefully preserved architectural features and tasteful furnishings.

• Steven from United Kingdom – 24 October 2024 (10/10)

  Met at the apartment by the wonderfully friendly and helpful, Maria. She explained everything and provided useful local knowledge.
  The apartment was spotlessly clean and well stocked with everything we needed for our 6 day stay (including a bottle of Prosecco).
  Really quiet setting, and well connected for vaperetto stops to Venice, as well as the bus station.
  Some lovely local bars and restaurants, offering great value for money.
  We have visited Venice many times for the Biennale, but it was our first time staying on Giudecca. Will definitely stay again. Feels so much calmer and more authentic than the main island. Great option if you want to live like a local.

• Megan from United States – 8 October 2024 (10/10)

  The apartment was spacious and filled with all the comforts of home. Excellent communication and helpful tips on getting to the property. It’s across the water from the main island which was very nice. We wanted to be away from the crowds so it was perfect. We also were able to store our bags until our later departure the day of check out. The hosts were very wonderful! I would stay there again 100%
