Venetian Atelier - with private garden in the ancient island of Giudecca, Venice

Our Family happily stayed at this residence for nearly a week. It was great to have a location that was away from the daunting crowds on the main island, but also in close proximity a number of nice restaurants, cafes, art galleries and more. The house was very comfortable for our whole family and the large, enclosed grassy backyard was truly lovely.

We had a wonderful time. Thank you, Ciro!

Great place but the bedding smelled a bit and the apartment in general was not very clean. With some fresh sheets and bedding and a good cleaner, it would be spectacular

We stayed in the house with another family and first of all the location was perfect ! The house is right on the Giudecca canal with a magnificent view of St Marc which is opposite and it is just one stop away by boat from the main island ! Very convenient and easy ! There are lots of little shops and cafes about 30 metres from the house so you can load up the fridge easily with local and fresh products. The atmosphere on the Giudecca is really nice and most importantly you are away from the crowd ! The garden of the house is really nice, we came in winter so did not use it much but having a garden in Venice is quite something and we will try to go back in spring or summer ! We felt really at home in this property and we will definitively return. Ciro who is in charge and the owner are very nice and accommodating. Some of the furniture and decoration is a bit dated but we found that it was charming and it felt like we were staying at some friends' place. It looks better than on the pictures which is not always the case...! The only thing I would suggest to the owner is not to have so many cutlery, plates, glasses etc… to give a good clean to the cupboards and make it a bit more practical in the kitchen ! Apart from that 10/10 !

Amidst all the hussle and bustle of the beautiful city of Venice we found the Old Venetian House to be the perfect oasis where we could relax and enjoy the surroundings. The location is perfect a short boat ride to the main city and there are plenty of local restaurants and shops to satisfy anyone's tastes. The space was well laid out although seemed over cluttered with possessions of the owner. Whilst clean it was in need of some TLC and would benefit from a general redecoration. The rooms were ok but we had no hanging space and the drawers were full again of the owners clothes which we found quite odd. Overall we found it well presented and the owner very helpful. Ciro was always available if we needed anything and was very flexible with our leaving time. I would recommend this place and would return if we visit the island again

Beautiful house and perfect garden Thank you

My wife and I accompanied her family on a trip to Europe that began in Venice (we then Cruised to Greece). I had been to Venice before and stayed in a home on Lido and suggested that we do something similar. I immediately fell in love with Ciro's villa. Working with Ciro via email was easy and being greeted at the villa by Ciro's mother was great. She appreciated that I spoke Italian and gave us some great tips on where to eat in Giudecca. The house provides everything one would need with the bonus of an beautiful outdoor space. The one complaint that we had was one from my Father-in-law about no screens on the windows. He couldn't wrap his head around why there weren't any, but he was really the only person bothered. A few of us were bitten by mosquitoes but no one else cared. I will definitely recommend this villa to friends and family who need similar housing while on vacation. Molte grazie, Ciro, per un buon soggiorno!

This is the perfect place to stay. The house is wide, well furnished, comfortable and well connected with all the main tourist stops. The indoor is spacious and cozy as well as the garden outside. I wish we could come back soon, Venice is breathtaking too

A beautiful house in a beautiful city! This is definitely the best place to stay in Venice, especially if you are a large family or a group of friends. Its 2 double-bedrooms + 1 bedroom with 2 bunkle beds allow each guest to have his privacy. The kitchen is separated from the living-room, which is always a good thing! In the living room there are two couches in front of a magnificient huge fireplace. Not something you usually get in your vacation-home! If you are lucky enough to visit the city during the Spring/Summer/Autumn, you can enjoy its secret garden: a green paradise where you can lay down and enjoy a glass of wine! This house, made of red bricks and lighten by large windows, might easily be better than your own house, and considering the fact that it's located in one of the most beautiful city in the world, well that just makes it perfect!

Lovely place, kind hosts, amazing house and good position. I spent 6 days in this house with 3 friends, we were two couples with two bathrooms and two double rooms, there were perfect! It's easy go to the Center city and also go to the train station. I love Venice and this house too, especially for the garden! I'll come back
