Bragadin della Palma in Dorsoduro (027042LOC04033)

Everything was great!

Exellently located and spacious first floor apartment in a quiet area a short walk from water bus stops. Kitchen was well equipped and functional, though there is no oven, and the furniture is basic but functional and comfortable. The amenities included wifi which worked well except with our chromecast streaming device. There was even detergent provided for the washing machine which was a nice touch. There are also mosquito repellent devices provided and we recommend using them, we didn't the first night and were bitten lots but using them on subequent nights seemed to help I'd also recomment wearing a spray or cream at night. We enjoyed our first visit to Venice, and our stay in this apartment, enourmously and the only negative was the lack of pre-arrival communication. Despite messaging weeks ahead with our flight times and requesting check-in instructions there was no reply or to subseuqent reminders. After becoming increasinly concerned at the lack of response I eventually contacted customer services a few days before our arrival and they managed to prompt the owner to respond to our messages. We were then given clear and easy to follow instructions on how to get to the apartment from the airport using public transport and about the tourist tax we'd have to pay, and were told a late check in was OK (a subsuent message informed us a small fee would be charged) so it was all fine in the end.

The apartment is big and roomy. The location is off the tourist path. It is maybe a few short minutes to the Accademia Bridge. Beautiful view up and down a small canal. Add the very welcoming Giovanna and you are comfortably in the Venice.

Well equipped apartment on small canal but within short walk to Grand Canal and lots of restaurants and cafes. Check in excellent and personal. We asked for early check in and were accommodated even though they aren’t usually able to do this. Location, location, location!! Would stay here again.

The communication with the on site rep was excellent, she met us promptly at the vaporetto stop and gave us very useful local information. The apartment is in a very good location, fairly quiet on a canal and close to vaporetto stops and the Accademia bridge. It’s spacious, sunny, and nicely laid out. The view of the canal adds to the charm, and the back looks out on a cute little garden with trees. The bathroom is modern, the shower is on the small side though and I missed having shelves for our toiletry bags. The washing machine was welcomed. But we were annoyed by several issues which the owner could easily fix: it lacked basic kitchen supplies (no toaster, no condiments other than salt, no paper towels or napkins, only one small kitchen towel, poor kitchen knives etc). There was no bathroom soap or shampoo provided and the bathroom toilet sometimes does not flush. There is also an ant problem in the kitchen (we killed hundreds of them). The decor is all budget IKEA including a thin bed mattress which was rather uncomfortable. Overall this would be a terrific apartment with a little more effort by the owners.

we've stayed twice in bragadin de palma--and it is perfect for enjoying and exploring venice. the apartment sits just near a small bridge on a scenic side canal, conveniently tucked in between the zattere and accademia vaporetto stops. the flat is crisp, modern, and roomy, with large windows that bathe the rooms in sunlight--and allow for plenty of fresh air. there is a cozy kitchen and modern bath plus a large bedroom. best of all, you are in a quiet, non-touristic location, so all you hear are church bells, footsteps, and the happy voices of children on their way to school. bragadin is close to the peggy guggenheim collection, the accademia gallery and accademia bridge. campo santa margarita, arguably the nicest campo in venice, is a few minutes away. and there are many good restaurants and cafes nearby to take a morning macchiato or afternoon spritz. don't pass up this opportunity to live well in an authentic part of venezia.

Excellent

A really excellent apartment, beautifully bright and spacious. It is sparsely but thoughtfully furnished with very good facilities. Luca was extremely welcoming and helpful. Great location, just perfect for us; two artists visiting the Biennale. We definitely hope to return.

We had a wonderful time in Venice, the appartment is perfectly located, spacious with everything you need. The canal is active and beautiful to watch, the garden view the other end of the apartment Is welcome and pretty. A wonderful stay was had.

This was our second stay at Bragadin of Palma. We stayed 1 week at the apartment and, once again, found it to be a wonderful home base for exploring Venice. It is ideally located in the Dorsoduro District, just out of the mainstream tourist paths, yet easily close enough to enjoy all that Venice has to offer. The apartment is as photographed and described in the listing; spacious, modern, bright, and airy. Vaporetto transportation is close and easy with the Accademia Bridge stop in one direction and the Zattere stop in the other direction. We enjoyed listening to and viewing everyday Venetian life passing by on the canal below. We also enjoyed exploring the entire Dorsoduro District, which is a charming part of Venice that many tourists don’t experience.

This apartment is in a very nice and in a quiet area. It is easy to reach from the vaparetto-stop at Zattere, but also from Accademia and Salute. I stayed for 10 days March/April 2017, and the apartment was perfect for me as a singel-traveller. Everything was clean and tidy. The apartment is very bright, and you look out to the canal Rio de San Vio. I loved to wake up listening to the boats outside, and it is very fascinating to se what they are transporting. Giovanna was very kind and helpful. I have been to Venezia many times before, and stayed in many different apartments, but I hope this one is free for my next visit. Thank you Giovanna and Ariella

This apartment is well located yet very quiet at night. The rooms are of adequate size and there is good closet space. The only downside was that the apartment was not well stocked with essentials. For example there were no paper towels, virtually no basic cooking needs such as salt and pepper, olive oil, butter, bottled water, etc. Also be aware that, as is true in most European apartments, there are no screens and even at the end of September, mosquitoes were a problem.
