Zaffiro Apartment VENICE

Zaffiro Apartment VENICE Overview

First Impressions

Walking through the narrow streets of Cannaregio to reach Zaffiro Apartment VENICE, you’ll notice you’re in one of those authentic Venetian neighborhoods where locals actually live. The building sits quietly on Calle Sant Antonio, just steps from Campo San Leonardo — and honestly, this three-star property surprised me with how much character it packs into what’s essentially an apartment-style accommodation. There’s something refreshing about staying somewhere that feels more like a Venetian home than a typical hotel.

The Cannaregio Advantage

You know what I love about this location? It’s got that perfect balance — close enough to the main attractions but far enough from the tourist chaos that consumes San Marco. Campo San Leonardo is right around the corner, and it’s one of those squares where you’ll see Venetians doing their daily shopping at the morning market. The Rialto Bridge is an easy walk, but you’re also near the train station, which makes arrival and departure actually manageable with luggage. Couples seem to get this location particularly well — I mean, there’s a reason they rate it 9.3 for romantic trips.

The Space Itself

The apartment setup works really well if you want some independence during your Venice stay. You’ll have more room to spread out than in most Venetian hotels, and there’s something nice about having a bit of kitchen space — even if you end up eating out most of the time anyway. The decor keeps things simple without being boring, and the windows give you glimpses of everyday Venetian life happening in the calle below. It’s not fancy, but it’s comfortable and clean, which honestly matters more when you’re spending most of your time exploring the city.

Getting Around

From Zaffiro Apartment VENICE, you’re perfectly positioned to explore Venice on foot or by vaporetto. The Guglie vaporetto stop is close by, connecting you to the Grand Canal route, while the Jewish Quarter — one of Venice’s most fascinating but often overlooked areas — is practically next door. I actually discovered some of my favorite bacari (those tiny Venetian wine bars) just wandering the streets around here. The walk to St. Mark’s takes about 20 minutes through some of the most photogenic parts of the city, but you’ll also find plenty of authentic restaurants right in the neighborhood.

Why Guests Love It

What really sets this place apart is that excellent location score — 9.3 doesn’t happen by accident in Venice. You’re staying in the real Venice, where morning conversations drift up from the street in rapid-fire Venetian dialect and the evening aperitivo hour feels genuinely local. The apartment-style accommodation gives you flexibility that traditional hotels can’t match, and the Cannaregio location means you’ll discover parts of Venice that many visitors never see. For couples especially, there’s something romantic about having your own little corner of this incredible city to come home to each night.

Best hotels in Venice blend frescoed salons, marble hammams, and rooftop altanas for prosecco sunsets.

Reviews of Zaffiro Apartment VENICE

• Tomasz from Poland – 16 September 2024 (9/10)

  The video about how to get in was very helpful. The location was just perfect – very near to railway station which was very important for us. Very quiet, clean, equipped according to the declaration. The host was very helpful with exactly everything we needed.
  
  What could be improved: The shower cabin was just a bit small. The view from windows (especially leaving room) was not so attractive. A lot of pigeons all around was a bit discouraging from using the nice terrace (apparently fed by someone).

• Puzyrevskaia from Finland – 17 August 2024 (9/10)

  Everything was fine. Good location , easy check-in , detailed instructions . The apartments matched the photos on the website. Thanks

• Maris from Latvia – 27 June 2024 (8/10)

  The video instructions were very useful. On the spot, everything corresponded to the video instructions. Thanks to the hosts for answering our questions very quickly. The location is very good.
  
  What could be improved: Not much daylight in the rooms.

• Wing from United Kingdom – 9 June 2024 (8/10)

  Location and size.
  
  What could be improved: Very small shower tub.

• Pauls from United Kingdom – 9 October 2023 (9/10)

  It was very clean and tidy! Bed was super comfortable! Shower and everything else was great!
  
  What could be improved: The wifi didn’t work at all! Worked for few minutes and then stopped and kept saying that the password was incorrect! As I had data, that didn’t bother me that much, but that was a only problem!

• Kalila from United Kingdom – 16 September 2023 (9/10)

  Check in was a little bit over complicated
  
  What could be improved: Everything about the flat was great

• Sweetboom from United States – 9 August 2023 (9/10)

  Place was in a very convenient area and was really comfortable

• Ankur from India – 11 July 2023 (9/10)

  Location is within walking distance from the Venezia St Lucia and from all major attractions on the main island. It had a well setup kitchen with all the basic facilities
  Value for money.
  
  What could be improved: Wifi is poor. Needs improvement.

• Sabine from Australia – 20 April 2023 (7/10)

  Mr Momi was very helpful and friendly. I had the feeling he cared about us having everything and being comfortable. We got the Keys from a lovely lady who also got the flat ready for us, which was very clean. The kitchen was well equipt other than a kettle (but there wouldn't have been any space for it anyway.) The main bed is very comfortable. Overall the flat is spacious for Venice. The decor is period and a bit hodge potch but cosy atmosphere. Most importantly, it was clean, and the location is brilliant. Very close to St Lucia train station. Bit hard to find the first time but was very easy to orientate afterwards. Quite location but still close to a major artery with plenty of shops both souvenir and groceries and a fresh fruit and veg stall. Lots of restaurants are close by. I would recommend this place to a friend.
  
  What could be improved: The shower is very small. I am not skinny and had trouble getting in and out and couldn't bend down to touch my feed once inside. The sofa bed was very, very soft, and even my teenage sons got neck and back pain from sleeping on it. Sadly, there was no place to leave our luggage safely after check out. It is not a fault as such, but it is good to know beforehand so you can plan accordingly (there is safe storage at the train station, which is only about 10 minutes walk away). The flat is very dark and could do with some better lighting.

• Salome from France – 6 November 2022 (9/10)

  The place is consistent with the picture, the flat is spacious, it was clean and very well located, in a nice neighborhood of Venice both to explore the city and to find nice options for diner or evening drink close by.
