Waterfront holiday rentals in Santa Croce, Venice

What a lovely place! We had an amazing time at Elettra's place. It has an amazing view and exceeded our expectations! I'll recommend it to anyone wishing to visit Venice or Murano. Elettra was very helpful and informative. Thank you for everything.

I cannot recommend Sam & his AirBnb enough. Such an incredible rooftop view of the city and centrally located to get around the city. Our deciding factor in choosing our AirBnb was the host’s reviews & Sam lived up to every expectation. 10/10 !

We had an incredible time at Ca’ Laura! A beautiful apartment in an excellent location… everything was perfect! Thank you!!

We stayed 6 nights in Claudia’s beautiful Venice apartment and felt right at home. It was stylish and spacious and set in a perfect quiet location close to one of the main walkways. Loved being on a canal! The bed was comfortable and found it a place to relax from the busy city. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a stay - an absolute gem.

If Diana Vreeland lived in Venice… Super classy apartment in a dreamy quiet courtyard. Giovanna met us at the vaperato stop and guided us to her sweet flat. Along the way she pointed out how to easily get around and talked about how things worked in her lovely home. We loved everything about our stay and look forward to returning. Thank you!

Beautiful apartment, great communication with hosts, best location in Venice. There is a pre-school across the alley, lively local activity in the Giovanni e Paolo square, local and tourist traffic on the canal right outside the windows (Google maps thinks you are in the canal!) In this location, you feel part of the real Venice. The apartment is spacious, the bedrooms, living room, kitchen and main bath are all very nice, the second bathroom is tiny. Excellent coffee machine, beautiful dishes and glasses, everything needed (and more) was available. The hosts provided a curated, very-accurate guide to Venice. We would definitely book again, thank you for a fantastic stay!

We absolutely loved our stay at Jerome and Catherine’s. We loved the quiet neighborhood, the canal views in front and garden views in back. It was so wonderful to come back to this quiet neighborhood after a long day of sightseeing. I would definitely stay here again.

Marc and Elizabeth’s space is spacious and beautiful. The kitchen and bathrooms are tidy and well equipped, and the beds are comfortable for sure, but the inspiring design is what should compel you to book. All the details make it feel very special from the terrazzo floors, to the textiles, to the thoughtful lighting. My teenaged sons will forever remember lounging in that gorgeous living room, playing chess while Gilberto Gil and John Coltrane play softly on CD in the background. Cannaregio is a perfect place to stay — away from the most crowded areas but still accessible to everything . For reference, we were able to walk to the Maritime museum on the opposite side of Venice in 30 minutes. Elizabeth was kind and her dining recommendations were spot on.

if you are coming to Venice, this is a must day. This was our first trip to Venice, but we quickly learn that we had stayed on the street where the locals hang out. This is off the tourist section with many food options on the same street, our favorite was Tintoretto. It is a 15 minute walking tour from the train station.. I cannot say enough nice things.

If this flat is available for your time frame, don’t hesitate. Possibly the best place I ever rented. Excellent location, pristinely clean, Great beds. Carlo went above and beyond to show us are surrounding area and highlights. Take his advice on the bakery and restaurant. So happy we were able to experience this place. I would go back. Thanks

Beautiful view and right next to Farragona water/boat taxi. The hostess was wonderful- flexible with our check-in/out. Easy to communicate. The apartment is spacious and clean. We always felt safe. It is a more quiet area and that was just what I was hoping - peaceful and relaxing.

We have an excellent stay in this property it is in a quiet neighborhood but with very quick access to local restaurants and attractions (including the Peggy Guggenheim) and easy access to the water bus. We would love to stay here again on our next visit to Venezia.

We had a wonderful stay at Marco's house. It is very pleasant, the private garden is a very appreciable plus, the house is very well maintained, well arranged, and very clean. The neighborhood is much quieter than the more touristy neighborhoods that can be easily reached on foot or by boat. Irene, who was our contact during our stay, was very attentive to our requests and informed us each time with great responsiveness and efficiency. We really enjoyed staying in Venice in this neighborhood and in Marco's house.

The place was comfortable, the owners let us put our heavy baggage before check in. We liked the double bunked beds and the garden outside. it was very peaceful around the place. We accidentally left the keys inside the house before coming out and locked ourselves outside, luckily the owner was kind enough to help us open the door. would definitely recommend, it was a comfortable stay

Amazing and very clean waterfront apartment. Google maps don’t show accurate directions so I recommend using Apple Maps, our host was very helpful to get us to the right address. The boat station (that you take to go everywhere) is only a few min away, the area is very safe, walkable and has lots of cool spots nearby - cafes, shops, everything. Kitchen is well stocked with high quality pots, dishes and supplies. Hot shower, and washing machine were very nice.

We enjoyed our stay. Very comfortable accommodations. Clean and accurately represented on the listing. The location is a good balance of close enough to do everything Venice has to offer, but out of the way of all of the tourist congestion. We did a lot of walking, which we enjoyed. Apple Maps got us every where we wanted to go. When we were near the property we were very much in the minority as tourists, which was perfectly fine with us. Would stay here again if we’re ever blessed enough to return to Venice and will recommend it to others.

We absolutely LOVED Chiara’s place!!!! Absolutely perfect location, walkable to everything but just outside of the main tourist locations, so it was lovely and peaceful and quiet to return to. We are very sensitive to sound and the apartment was absolutely silent. Beautiful space, light, a home away from home and when we return to Venice we will stay here and also recommend to all our friends and family. Chiara was also an amazing host, so kind and responsive and let us store our luggage in her entry way all day until our flight at 8pm. Thoroughly recommend!

If you’re looking for a great view and a place to leave the windows open and listen to the water this is definitely it. It did get warm at night while we were there and there is no air conditioning (just mentioning in case it’s important to you, I didn’t notice it didn’t have one when booking, no fault of the host, I just didn’t read it clearly ) but there is a small fan. It’s in a more residential area so it’s a nice place to be if you are looking to get away from the crowds. It was very spacious and giocomo was a very responsive host even weeks before we checked in when I had questions about transportation.

I cannot say enough positive things about the apartment and more over the host, ELIA. If it were possible to give a six star review, I would. Everything was spot on, from the recommendations of places to go and things to do, the communication of the hose. On our last night, we had a situation late night, and ELIA, and their whole team were compassionate, responsive, and extremely helpful. Of all the places I've been in Italy, this is by far my favorite, mostly because of the apartment, and ELIA and Marta who checked us into our house. We love Venice, but love it even more because of The effectiveness of the host, and the beauty of the house.

Very nice, clean and in a very calm area, I recommend it!

Bruno's place is so beautiful, it truly feels like you are being welcomed into his family's home. The place is private and spacious, whilst feeling very secure. The photos don't do it justice. Bruno has thought and provided everything you would need whether it's personal cleaning amenities, breakfast (Italian coffee!), or things to help make the stay even more comfortable (citronella for the mozzies!) Bruno as a host was so friendly from the moment we booked, and was very communicative to ensure we were prepared for our stay. The big double windows facing the water are just divine to sit and read a book, or just watch people and boats go by. You can tell the home is well loved and cared for, and you will not be disappointed in booking Bruno's place.

Great place to stay! Not a super touristy location but super close to the hotspots you’ll want to see!

Great place, very convenient location. Don’t leave food on the counter because of ants, but that’s not an issue to be fixed. Host was great with communication and very kind.

A true gem! The balcony really adds a unique dimension; to be able and watch every day life in Venice was so interesting. The apartment is in easy walk of great cafes and restaurants and handy for The Vaporetto and water taxis. We travelled with my 89 year old mother and were very grateful for the flexible check in after our early flight. We ate out each meal, so easy with so many great places in easy walking distance. Amongst our favourite, for breakfast was San Giovanni Vini e Cicchetti for fabulous chichetti !
