the Levantine - apartment with private courtyard and overlooking canal

The apartment was clean and well-appointed, with lots of space for our family of 4. The beds were comfortable. The location was fantastic, within easy walking distance to the train station, and all the attractions of Venice. The host, Roberto, was very responsive to all inquiries, and he kindly met us at the water bus to take us to the apartment, and helped carry our luggage. He also gave us an excellent restaurant recommendation - it was one of the best meals we had in Italy! I highly recommend staying at this apartment!

We loved the location in Cannaregio. The property was a 12-minute walk from the main train station, with only two bridges to carry luggage over. There was plenty of room for four adults. Having the canal to overlook from the balcony was entertaining, watching people enjoy rides on the gondolas. We stayed in July, the only downside was having mosquitoes inside the apartment because of opening the windows due to the heat.

Everything was completely as expected and Roberto was very communicative to make sure we had everything we needed and were comfortable. The setting on the canal was so unique and we will always remember this visit. We were traveling with my children and my parents and the courtyard gave us plenty of room to all. Have our own space. Thank you so much - I would recommend to anyone.

It’s a great space. Just steps from the public water taxi and steps from a fantastic grocery store in a different direction. The courtyard area was lovely, the host attentive to our needs. It was a little cramped for 5 people but we made do. I’d definitely stay here again.

What a joy to stay in Cannaregio at the Levantine! A beautiful property with authentic touches. Fantastic amenities and peaceful location. Quick access by traghetto from Santa Lucia Train station and no stairs in the property - yay! It would be a dream to return to this magical city and great property.

This unit was our favorite out of a multi city Italy visit. Roberto and his wife met us personally to go over the unit and answer any questions. It was our anniversary and they left us something in the fridge acknowledging it. The unit was immaculately clean and tastefully appointed. The beds were the most comfortable of all the units on our multi city trip. They provided a pack n play crib for our toddler and it had a plush padded mattress which he loved. They also left out some diapers for us which was sweet. Pantry and kitchenware was as expected and they had some coffee/sugar/ oil etc which is always helpful. They had some games and puzzles available which really helped with the kids. Also books and guides about Venice. In the unit was a full binder with restaurant suggestions, water taxi breakdown, and different cards/brochures for recommended activities. They really thought of everything. The living room has a patio door that opens right onto a gated view of the canal. We have small kids and felt perfectly safe having this open while we were in the room with them. The kids LOVED watching gondolas and boats go by on occasion. Outside there is a spacious and private courtyard which was incredible. A fruiting citrus tree by the front door and hanging greenery on the entry. Two seating areas, our favorite being the table by yet another canal view blocked by a locked iron door. At night you could hear the canal lapping up against the walls and it was so peaceful. The outdoor area is well lit. We really liked staying in Cannareggio. St. Mark's square and other points of interest are accessible on foot. With small kids we walked over & took the water bus (Vaporetto) back. For Vaporetto, we had access to a Guglie stop which goes to the islands, airport and the vaporetto lines that ring the city perimeter. 5 minute walk. Even closer was the San Marcuola stop which takes you down the Grand Canal. We used this stop (3 minute walk) to private water taxi back to the airport. Very convenient options available. Everything we wanted to see was accessible but felt removed from the throngs of tourists we experienced close to St. Mark's square. Unit is down a quiet street which is right off a main street. It's far enough down we never heard any noise. Multiple grocery and dining options nearby. DHL express right nearby too to ship souvenirs etc back. We definitely recommend this unit for a Venitian vacation and would 100% stay here again

Our stay with Roberto was so much more than we had hoped for when booking this apartment. The space was immaculately clean, larger than it looked in the pictures, and thoroughly enjoyable. The courtyard area alone is spectacular! It is long and winding along the edge of the property, reminding me of the canals and alleyways that make Venice so unique. The living room has a large glass double door that opens directly onto the canal (with bars from the waist down for safety) which is such a special feature and made us feel truly a part of Venice. We were a party of five, two parents, two teens, and one tween. The tween slept on the generously sized sofa bed and the two teens shared the second bedroom. The second bedroom is small, but for Venice, you can’t do much better! The bathroom is a nice size and very clean. I can not recommend this property enough. Roberto had lots of helpful information about the city available and was willing to help in any way he could. Thank you for a wonderful visit!♥️

We took our 16 year old granddaughter to Venice for her birthday (her wish). Roberto was extremely helpful. He met us where the water taxi dropped us off and led us to the apt. He explained everything, provided lots of information & recommendations for dining etc. We would definitely come back!

The Host Roberto and his daughter were wonderful hosts, meeting us at the Garage to guide us to the wonderful apartment. Our appartment was situated next to a side canal with a lovely inner courtyard area. The inside was tastefully decorated, well organized and clean. The kitchen had all the necessary basics, including wonderful coffee. The air conditioning was a plus for the time we were there. One couldn't want for more, the apartment was perfect for a family of 4 and easy to get to but not in the busy noisy area. It was also nice to look onto the canal and see the occasional boat float gandola go by.

Hope it made it through the flooding. Such a unique and wonderful place. Great communication. So many great things about it. The tourism tax and contract that needs to be signed upon arrival need to be detailed a little more in communications.

We stayed here for three nights at end of July. Location was really good close to restaurants and easy walking distance of f everywhere. Easy to find in Venice. Apartment was really good and everything was provided. Only criticism would be the shower was low pressure and air conditioning was only in living room which was not a problem for us but could be in a very hot spell. We would come again if in Venice, mainly due to good location.
