Venice, Veneto
A charmingly evocative bolthole for two in the building once lived in by the 16th Century Italian Renaissance painter Tintoretto and within a minute of his final resting place in the beautiful gothic Church of Madonna Dell 'Orto (Our Lady of the Garden). Close to the historic Jewish Ghetto and the Jewish Museum of Venice and steps away from the famous turbaned and metal-nosed statues of the ancient 'Moorish' spice merchants of Campo and Fondamenta Dei Mori - symbolic reminders of Venice's historic trading routes with the East, the legacy of which survives to this day amidst the hubbub and commerce of the Rialto markets, a mere 10-15 minute stroll and short 'traghetto' ride away from the apartment.
Elegant, bright and with beautifully languid south-facing views over the Rio Della Sensa canal, the air-conditioned* Ca' Tintoretto is on the first floor and is attractively furnished with a stylishly eclectic mix of antiques, contemporary pieces, books and collectables. It has a cosy and freshly decorated beamed sitting/dining room with comfortable seating, wooden flooring, eastern rugs, a music system and two large windows with wrought iron balustrades which overlook the canal, a bridge and the occasional art-lover successful in hunting down and photographing this historically significant landmark.
Just off this main room lies a compact and very well-fitted kitchen and, to the side, a spacious and dreamy 'boudoir' - a cleverly divided space featuring a double bed and modern en suite shower room at one end, an enormous wall-to-wall sofa directly overlooking the room's beautiful arched window at the other and a perfect spot for idling away the time while contemplating your choice of restaurant for lunch or dinner as the boats gently pass by.
In an area of wonderful walks through the laid-back and very traditional neighbourhoods of Cannaregio and within easy reach of a growing number of restaurants and 'osterie' such as 'Anice Stellato', 'Rioba', 'Ristorante Diana' and 'Al Timon' dotted along the wide waterfronts of the Fondamente De La Sensa, Della Misericordia and Dei Ormesini, not forgetting the Osteria L'Orto dei Mori just steps away from the apartment.
Convenient for the shops of the Strada Nuova for stocking up on supplies and to the vaporetto system at Madonna Dell' Orto (on Venice's northern embankment) for travel around the city, trips to beaches of the Lido and for sightseeing visits to the glass-blowing island of Murano, the lace-making and rainbow-coloured island of Burano and the ancient island of Torcello with its 7th Century Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta and later Church of Santa Fosca.
OUR COMMENT
An adorable and romantic retreat for two - well off the beaten tourist track but with lots to see and do right on the doorstep.

The location is great, very pretty with plenty of bars and restaurants within a few minutes walk, but also very quiet. The apartment is very charming and quirky with fabulous views of the canal. A great place to chill out and people watch in between sight seeing trips. The company is great, very organised and helpful and quick to respond to emails. We had a late flight and would have liked to checkout later as the apartment was available but 150 euros seemed like a lot to us. We had to leave our luggage at a self storage place nearby and kill some time in a couple of cafes and bars until our flight.
Our stay at Ca' Tintoretto was nothing short of magical. Serene and tranquil the apartment was a perfect choice for two and felt like home whenever we returned to our hideaway. We particularly liked cocooning by the arched window overlooking the lovely canal. A very peaceful and quiet neighborhood only a short walk from the Vaporetto (water bus) but away from the throngs of visitors in other districts of Venice. VOV was terrific to work with and helpful in providing a friendly greeter (Matteo) upon our arrival. Matteo was kind and generous with his time and provided us with some great suggestions. A fabulous stay overall.
We can not say enough about this property. Worth every euro. The communication with the host and welcome we received were outstanding. We had everything we needed to feel at home for our 3 night stay. Can’t find a better location if you want to be in walking distance but not in the crowded parts. Highly recommend!!
Very enjoyable
This apartment is perfect for a solo traveler or a couple. It is exactly as presented in the photos, and is quite spacious with everything you need for a great stay. It was also immaculately clean. The property management company is top-notch and super helpful and responsive. The neighborhood is quiet, but it’s very close to some fabulous, authentic restaurants as well as the shops and action in the Strada Nova. Two grocery stores, green grocers, and pharmacies are just a short walk away. The location is away from the madness of the touristy areas, but it’s only a 20-25 minute walk to la Piazza San Marco. I would definitely stay here again.
Very nice apartment. Well located. Good check in process and helpful interactions with Views on Venice. Thanks for a great stay.
What a nice place to stay for a week! A short walk from the vaporetto station in a quiet area. Restaurants and BÃ cari close by. Friendly and reliable communication. The in-person meeting at the vaporetto-station by Caterina, and her showing us recommendations on the map were a great introduction to the appartement and neighborhood.
My husband and I had a wonderful week at Ca’ Tintoretto. The property is exactly as seen in the photos and the location is on a small canal which is quiet and lovely. The property management was extremely helpful and we would definitely stay here again.
This property is stunning and the customer service is top notch! We appreciate the accuracy of the photos and description as well as the local recommendations given. The hosts were so kind and quick to respond to any questions.
We loved the cosiness of this apartment, the water views, and the excellent library. We would highly recommend it. For us the bed was a little hard for a long stay, but that is a matter of personal preference and you can't please everyone!
