Cà Fenice, romantic suite with canal view.

We enjoyed a week in this nice apartment. Its central location was perfect for easy walking to every neighborhood. We loved watching and listening to the gondolas passing by just outside the windows (gondoliers are so close they can use their foot to push off the apartment's exterior wall, and you can watch them check their appearance in the windows' reflection). This is a really special experience and, in a way, as interesting as a gondola ride itself (the reflective glass prevents outsiders from looking in until dark). In the evening, after a long day of walking, we'd turn off our lights, open the drapes, and enjoy the view and music with our glass of wine. Be aware, however, that there is a dock very nearby and noisy activity begins early in the morning due to garbage collection, deliveries, and taxi transport--so ear plugs are a good idea in the bedroom on the canal side (with the king bed). The apartment has two nice bedrooms with good beds and storage, a nice small kitchen with dishwasher and large refrigerator, and two modern bathrooms with showers. The apartment was spotlessly clean, and the manager, Sylvia, was extremely kind, responsive, and helpful. We highly recommend this apartment. (Our only suggestion would be a more comfortable sofa.) Overall, it was a lovely, clean, and modern apartment in a fabulous location.

This is an interesting ground-floor two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment right on a canal. It was fun to see the light traffic on the canal, and we opened the windows and interacted with many of them as they floated by. The water taxi from the train station to the unit was seamless, and the unit was a few steps from the drop-off point. There was plenty of shopping, restaurants, and sightseeing within walking distance. We enjoyed our stay.

First thing - Silvia was a great manager, helping with transport and any questions we had. The location was good, the kitchen was well stocked, the window on the canal better than a tv for entertainment. Just a note for long-term renters (we were there for 3 weeks). You have to request (and pay for) clean sheets and towels each week. This was a bit of a surprise for us as this service has usually been provided at other vrbo rentals. FYI, as stated there is not a washer/dryer in this apartment, but there is a nice laundromat Effe Erre about a 15 minute walk (near Palazzo Grimani). Lots of carry bags in the apartment. We loved going to the opera house, then dinner in the square then a few steps home. Also enjoyed the giardini biennale with the glass house for coffee. A short stroll in any direction will get you away from the crowds. Splurge for the water taxi to and from the airport….it was worth it! Thanks for a wonderful stay in Venice

Perfect location. Watching the gondolas pass by was mesmerizing.

We stayed for two nights in late May 2024. Communication with the local host Sylvia was very good. She arranged a private water taxi from the airport to the apartment and then to the train station. The water taxi dropped us off feet from the apartment entrance which was very convenient. The apartment is nicely furnished and very comfortable. Location is great, there's a coffee shop just feet from the front door and main attractions like Rialto Bridge and Piazza San Marco are very short walks. The pictures don't lie - the apartment is on the canal and the gondolas are coming by regularly. The windows are tinted so they can't see in so don't worry. It's nice when the gondala has musicians as it just adds a touch of Venice while you're resting in the apartment. It's very quiet at night. All in all a very good stay and would recommend.

This is a lovely apartment with a wonderful view of the gondolas gliding past all day. It’s a spacious apartment with two bathrooms and nice sized bedrooms. It would be nice in the heat of summer being on the lowest floor, but it was chilly in Venice while we were there and the room heaters kept the space very cozy warm. It was a quick walk into St. Marks from this location but it was off a quiet street. The restaurants in the square nearby were great. Overall it was the perfect choice for our vacation.

Beautiful property with a superb location. Very well managed and the host was excellent.

Great apartment, located near excellent restaurants and shopping. Canal is literally right out the window! Host arranged for a private water taxi that took us from the train station directly to the apartment (much appreciated!). Beds were comfortable, apartment was very clean. We will stay again if we get back to Venice.

We absolutely loved this property! It was incredible watching the Gondola’s go by and listening to the Gondoliers singing. It was very easy to get to all the hot spots in town. Thank you Silvia for such an awesome host.

Our family stayed here for a weekend in Venice and wish it would’ve been longer. The apartment was perfect for us. The location was great; we loved watching gondolas go past the window and were mere steps from a nice piazza with good restaurants. Everything we wanted to see in Venice was a quick, easy walk away. Silvia responded quickly when we had questions and even booked water taxis for us from the airport and to the train station. Can’t recommend this place highly enough.
