Venice CanalSide Apartment

Lovely apartment, just by a canal and the “Fighting Bridge”in a close but quiet neighborhood. Good bars and restaurants are close and the apartment managers were helpful with tips and recommendations. Gondola stop just across the bridge.

Loved the Location!!!!

Staying in the Dosoduro area was absolutely amazing! It was quieter, cafés all around, a quaint little bar right across the canal, laundry service down the street, restaurants, Piazza’s everything you could want, but away from the crowds, hustle and bustle. The property was perfect!!!! The host was amazing and so helpful before and during our stay. They met us on site and walked us through everything which was awesome!!!! They also arranged the private taxis to and from the property which was truly so very helpful!!! We will ABSOLUTE stay again at this VRBO and hope you will too. If I had any suggestion it would be to have blow dryers available in both bathrooms since we were lodging with another couple, but sharing was also just fine. You will end up walking everywhere and just getting lost in Venice. It was really nice to return each evening to the quieter area & evenings in Dorsoduro!!!

Venice stay

This property was perfect for us. Easy to get to by water bus, just a short walk from the stop. Away from the crowds but easy to access all the shops. 2 couple staying each with own bathroom perfect. Restaurants just over a bridge and the local supermarket around the corner for breakfast foods, and a little bar a stones throw away. Would highly recommend.

Lovely location and accomodartion

We loved staying at this location. Plenty of nearby restaurants and fun places to visit. The only negative is the noise across the canal from a popular nightspot. We realize it is out of the owners control. Overall, we loved the quaintness of the home with all the modern amenities.

Awesome Stay

Our group of 3 couples visited Venice for 2 nights and this rental was perfect for us. We love the location, which was walkable to everything and right next to the water. Also, it is close to lots of restaurants and shops and is lively at night. We would love to rent this place again next time we’re in Venice.

Lovely property in fantastic location

This property is within meters of bars, bakery, restaurants, a small supermarket, a fruit barge and is within easy walk of both the Academia and Rialto bridges. The property itself is lovely with canal views and some lovely furnishings. Communication with both owner and local agent was always very responsive and accurate. Recommendec!

Wonderful short break

Location of apartment ideal for visiting the main tourist attractions and good mix of locals and tourists around.. Apartment equipped with everything required and of high quality. Outlook over the canal was really interesting and included the famous fruit and veg barge. Wonderful baker within yards and a useful supermarket really close plus an abundance of cafes nearby. Hope to return.

Great property, wonderful location!

We enjoyed our visit very much. A lovely property with a well-equipped kitchen, comfortable living space, nice bathroom and wonderful location. Our host representative was responsive and extremely helpful. Dorsoduro is quiet, full of great restaurants, a convenient grocery store, pharmacy, etc. Close to the vaporetto with easy access to airport and train station via water taxi. Two special amenities? Window screens and Sonos system! Just great!

Apartment by a canal

We were 3 friends visiting Venice. The apartment was very cosy and very well equipped with all we needed for our stay. Near to supermarket, bakery and restaurants. I loved watching all the students from the bedroom window going to college and school, one felt part of Venetian life!! I would recommend this apartment.

A great home in Venice

The property was great—well-equipped, amazing location. It was easy to walk to any attractions we wanted, and there’s a market ( floating!) on your doorstep with bakery and grocery just around the corner. Irene was very helpful—we appreciated being able to leave our bags on our last day after checkout. Thanks!

Cute place but…

Bathrooms smelled like stagnant water. Some black mold near the grout on the main shower and ceiling. That smell continued all 3 days we were there, the biggest drawback. Two college dorm refrigerators one had a small freezer that was frozen shut. It needs to be defrosted, because it’s not usable. Beds were comfortable, bedrooms were nice. Due to the humidity and only a washing machine, it took 36 hours to dry a small load of laundry. The apartment is located across from a wine bar so if you are a light sleeper you won’t get to sleep until after midnight.

Excellent location and accommodations

4 Adults stayed in this apartment in a charming section of Venice. Just steps to the Leonardo Museum and the famous bridge of fists. This is a perfect location to be Immersed in a local neighborhood. We felt safe always. We walked the narrow walkways late into the night and before the sun came up. We all missed being in Venice when it came out time to leave. Hoping we can come back and stay in this wonderful apartment again one day.

We had stayed in this apartment in 2018. It remains a excellent location, easy access to water bus, grocery store , restraunts & shops . The atmosphere felt more Venetian than touristy . We had a free issues with plumbing, but the owner was prompt to have it assessed . Do read the apartment manual, it’s helpful if issues that may arise. We hope this apartment will be available again on our next trip.

The BEST location!

Property was perfect for 2 couples or a family. 2 full bathrooms, 2 bedrooms, kitchen, living room. It has an unusual setup as you go in the front door and up a narrow flight of stairs. When you go into the apartment there is an entry and All other rooms are off that. So there is a door to the kitchen and one to the living room, as well as each nedroom. It worked well for us as we could get up early and go into another room and close the door so it was quiet for those still sleepingAll overlooking a fairly quiet yet lovely canal and close to nice little squares with grocery, restaurants, and gelato! It is in an historic old building. Ireneet is at the Vaporetto stop and assisted us with our luggage to the apartment. The water taxi was unable to take is to the apartment because of high water level so had to drop is at the stop. Check in was smooth and checkout simple too.

Charming and Cozy

We were a group of 4 adults. This was my 3rd time in Venice and love to stay in this quiet area away from the busyness of the tourist district. Close to great bakeries and restaurants .Unfortunately this trip we had 2 days of rain so the apartment was very warm and cozy at the end of a dreary day. The 2 bathrooms were very helpful with 4 adults . The unit is very spacious compared to there we have stayed previously . I would definitely recommend!
