Vacation rentals in Venice

“Romantic retreat. Quiet recharge and repeat. My husband and I came to Venice for the Carnival festivities. At the end of the day, we were appreciative to escape the crowds and noise to retreat to Daniela’s home to recharge and repeat. Our stay at this AirBnB was beyond our expectations. Daniela met us at the ferry stop and walked us to her home. Along the way, she pointed out local grocery stores and recommended restaurants. Upon reaching her home, Daniela confirmed we understood how to enter/exit the secure building. She thoroughly explained where we could find extra blankets, towels, etc should we need them. She graciously stocked Italian snacks, fresh citrus fruit, and a variety of beverages. Daniela’s home is well-prepared to meet any guests expectations. If you have forgotten any toiletries, such as shampoo, make-up remover, shower caps and the like, she has you covered. If you are in the area for sightseeing, there are numerous travel guides and maps available for use. If you are here for a getaway or romance, the spectacular view shown in the pictures is accurate. Numerous books about European history and beautiful Italian art are displayed throughout the home. Approximately, 100 CD’s of music from classical to the Rolling Stones are available and/or music from the Smart tv ( which also has several language channels). Thank you Daniela for sharing your home with us. Helpful hints for others that we either learned while in Venice or researched before arrival. 1. We found that learning some basic Italian phrases were appreciated. 2. Grocery stores are called Poco’s. 3. The ferries are called Vaparetto ‘s and is Venice’s main public transportation. During our visit they operated 24h and we found them to be the least expensive. 4. Gondola rides are 80,00 euro for 35 minutes. 5. Venice is full of cobble stone streets. Ve”

“Alessandro’s place is beautifully decorated and in a great location. I appreciated the area to the north, which had great cafes and restaurants. The vaprettos are only a 3 minute walk away and everything else you could want is close by. There is a fruit stand downstairs with delicious fruit. Alessandro was a kind, communicative, and helpful host. His recommendations are absolutely lovely and not the typical places in Venice. The only negative I can think of is if you are a light sleeper, there is noise from the street at night until around midnight, but that is probably everywhere in Venice. Thank you for the lovely stay, Alessandro!”

“This place is huge! Set on a quieter street but in the heart of everything. The window onto the canal is as amazing as it looks. There were some noisy boats playing music on the water at night but it was rare and we had a white noise machine so not a big deal. The beds were comfortable and the space is as nice as it looks in the photos. Check-in was easy as well. We really enjoyed our stay!”
