Beautiful and homey location that had a very short walk to the canals, restaurants and groceries. Close to most of the sites such as St Marks, & Rialto bridge. The Ospedale water bus was minutes away. Lots of bedrooms and bathrooms.

Excellent place to stay!
We loved staying here, it provided so much space for all of us (8 adults, 2 children)! It was in a perfect location, a little away from the busyness of San Marco, but close enough to easily walk and feel like you’re living like a local! Great restaurants nearby as well! The owner was very communicative and helpful with all of our questions, very clear about how to get to house from all incoming destinations. Would love to come back again!

About the host

Hosted by Stefano

Host profile image
Hello, I rent 3 nice flats in Venice:

Ca' del Cafetier

This s our last renovation (year 2016). It is at the same time very central (10-15 minutes from Rialto, San Marco and Arsenale) and in a very quiet and relaxing neighborhood. The apartment is huge : 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, lounge, big kichen/dining room, terrace and roof sundeck. Our maximum occupancy is 12 people, so it is perfectly suited for big family reunion or friends get-togethers.

Ca' de l'Oca

Ca' de l'Oca is very large, beautifully renovated in 2013 and strategically located in the heart of the city and close to Rialto, from where everything is at a walking distance.

Biennale & Style

This place is cosy and located in the core of a residential area where mostly true Venetians live. It is perfectly located both for visiting the ancient city and for going to the beach at Lido (I use it myself when I have no guests). It is also very close to the Biennale of Art.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Cheers, Stefano

Why they chose this property

I love to have guests in my apartments, but it is not my main work : I am a scientist at the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche in the field of controlled thermounclear fusion.

So I set up a joint venture with Natalia. I collect the booking and I am your reference person up to arrival. Then Natalia will take control: she is your hostess in charge for professional clean up, linen washing, ironing and the meet & greet service.
