Welcome to Serendipity Apartment, a charming three-star gem nestled in the heart of Venice’s Giudecca district. This exquisite accommodation has earned an exceptional 9.6 rating from previous guests, placing it among the most highly-acclaimed properties in Venice. Situated at Calle Scuola, 484 f, in the peaceful Giudecca area, this apartment offers a perfect blend of authentic Venetian living and convenient access to the city’s iconic attractions.

Giudecca, a small island in the Venetian Lagoon, provides a welcome respite from the bustling tourist centers while still offering breathtaking views of Venice’s main islands. From Serendipity Apartment, guests can enjoy the unique experience of witnessing Venice’s skyline across the water, with the magnificent domes and bell towers creating a picturesque panorama. The location on Calle Scuola places you within walking distance of the Palanca vaporetto stop, making it easy to traverse the Grand Canal and explore landmarks such as St. Mark’s Square, the Doge’s Palace, and the Rialto Bridge. The island of Giudecca itself hosts notable attractions, including the majestic Il Redentore church designed by the renowned architect Andrea Palladio, and the historic Molino Stucky, now transformed into a luxury complex. Art enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to Casa dei Tre Oci, a neo-Gothic building that hosts prestigious photography exhibitions throughout the year.

What truly sets Serendipity Apartment apart, as reflected in its outstanding 9.6 rating, is its perfect combination of comfortable accommodations and authentic Venetian charm. While maintaining the character of a traditional Venetian residence, the apartment offers modern amenities that ensure a pleasant and convenient stay. Guests consistently praise the immaculate cleanliness, thoughtful layout, and attention to detail that permeates every corner of this delightful property. The apartment’s position in Giudecca provides a unique advantage – a peaceful environment to return to after days spent exploring Venice’s bustling streets and canals. As evening falls, guests can stroll along Giudecca’s waterfront promenade, watching the golden light reflect off the lagoon while enjoying the less crowded ambiance that characterizes this authentic neighborhood. Local restaurants and cafés line the waterfront, offering opportunities to savor genuine Venetian cuisine while basking in spectacular views of the main island. Serendipity Apartment truly lives up to its name, creating unexpected moments of joy and discovery for travelers seeking an unforgettable Venetian experience away from the tourist crowds, yet connected to all the wonders this magnificent city has to offer.

    Serena was a great host. We loved the apartment – so comfortable, spacious and well-appointed. Very cool having a view over a canal! Some good restaurants and a supermarket very nearby, plus was easy to get over to the main island.

  • Celal from Albania – 22 October 2023 (10/10)

    Perfect location. 10 min walk to the Palanca Port for Vaporetto. Very clean apartment. Serena, the owner let us know about an upcoming public transportation strike in Venice and give us some valuable information.

  • Melissa from Australia – 11 October 2023 (10/10)

    Serena was a delight to deal with. The apartment was lovely and had everything we needed. We were happy to be a little bit away from the hustle and bustle of Venice but with quick and easy access to everything using the vaporetto.

  • Krista from Latvia – 14 August 2023 (10/10)

  • Sergejs from Latvia – 15 April 2023 (10/10)

    Very pleasant impressions of the place and the owner. Thanks to Serena, she met us at the station and took us to the apartment. She told about the city and recommended interesting locations, including a great restaurant. The apartment is even more beautiful than in the photo. Everything is new, smells and blooms. The location is great too! Thank you for your hospitality and kindness. <3 Sergejs and Katrīne

    Great Stay with a Small Detail to Improve

    The apartment was a fantastic choice! The host was very communicative and helpful, making everything smooth from check-in to check-out. Any questions we had were answered quickly and clearly.

    A really nice touch was the complimentary breakfast package—honey, Nutella, toast, and jam. It was a great way to start the day without having to rush out immediately.

    The apartment itself was very clean, which we really appreciated. However, the only downside was the presence of used cleaning sponges. A small detail, but fresh ones would be a better option.

    The location is also excellent—just a five-minute walk to the water bus station, making it very easy to reach the main Venice Island.

    Overall, a great stay with just one small thing to improve!
