Stunning Apartment In Venezia -Ve-

Hotel Description

I remember stepping off the vaporetto at San Marco – you know, that bustling stop right by the Piazza, where the pigeons outnumber the people and the air smells like salty lagoon water mixed with fresh espresso from those little cafes. Honestly, finding the Stunning Apartment In Venezia -Ve- was a bit of a treasure hunt at first; it’s tucked away on a quiet calle off Campo San Moisè, just a stone’s throw from the Grand Canal but far enough that you don’t hear the constant gondola serenades all night. I mean, Venice can be a maze, especially if you’re dragging luggage over those uneven bridges, but once you punch in the code for the door – no front desk hassle, which is a godsend after a long flight – it feels like you’ve scored your own slice of the city. The place is rated as a 4-star apartment, and yeah, it’s got that lived-in charm rather than sterile hotel vibes; think exposed wooden beams overhead and those classic Venetian terrazzo floors that are cool underfoot in summer.

What really got me was how it captures that authentic Venice essence without trying too hard – you wake up to the soft chime of church bells from nearby San Moisè, and if you crack the window, there’s this faint scent of baking cornetti drifting up from the bakery downstairs. The apartment itself is spacious for what it is, with a kitchenette that’s actually useful (I whipped up a quick pasta with market finds from Rialto, which is just a 10-minute stroll away – pro tip: go early to beat the crowds). The bed was comfy enough, though the pillows were a tad flat – nothing a quick fluff couldn’t fix – and the bathroom had one of those rain showers that make you linger. It’s not flawless; the Wi-Fi can be spotty during peak tourist hours, and in high season (like July when I was there), you might hear the murmur of voices from the alley below until late. But well, that’s Venice for you – alive and kicking. I loved popping out for a spritz at a hidden bacaro around the corner on Calle Larga XXII Marzo, feeling like a local rather than a tourist crammed into a big hotel lobby.

All in all, if you’re the type who wants to immerse yourself in San Marco’s heartbeat without breaking the bank – it’s got a solid 7.4 rating for a reason, balancing charm with a few real-world quirks – this spot’s a winner. I’d go back in a heartbeat, especially off-season when the fog rolls in and the place feels even more magical, sort of like your private hideaway amid the history. Just pack light, watch for acqua alta if it’s November, and you’ll be set for memories that stick.

Reviews

• Nice location , very central – Aoife from Ireland – 17 October 2023 (7/10)

  This apartment is situated in a lovely area. Very close to St Marks Square and Rialto bridge. The apartment is spacious. The host Vitoria is very nice and was very responsive and to anything we needed to ask.
  
  What could be improved: There was a lot of noise very early in the morning. This is not for people who like to lie in. The apartment was also very dark. There was some electrical problem but we managed to fix it.
  I felt this apartment was expensive and the cleaning and tourist tax should be included in the price.
