Known throughout the world as the city built on water, given its construction on 100 islands in the lagoon, Venice is one of Italy's most popular locations worldwide.
It is a real open-air museum, thanks to its historical and artistic heritage made of churches, palaces, and museums.
Strolling through Venice is like diving in the past: the so-called calli (streets) are dotted and framed by aristocratic buildings such as the Doge's Palace, the historic home of the Doges, spectacular bridges including the famous Rio Alto Bridge, and canals navigable by gondolas, waterbuses, and boats of all kinds.
The heart of the city is the enchanting St. Mark's Square, which houses the Basilica of the same name and welcomes thousands of tourists from all over the world every day.
The most famous local event is definitely the Carnival, thanks to its centuries-old tradition of masks and costumes that enliven the streets every year.
Last but not least, the famous "BĂ caro Tour" is a must: a tour among taverns where to taste local wine along with cicheti, typical Venetian tasty bites.
The accommodation is approximately 1.5 km from the Venice Santa Lucia train station.
Family of 5 with 3 boys 21,20 & 14Plenty of space. We didnât cook or use the kitchen at all. Not much space to sit around, but we really didnât have time to just sit around. Everything was clean and the location was PERFECT!
BEWARE We were thrilled to visit Venice for the first time and began our trip with sightseeing and a lovely visit to Murano Island (highly recommend!).When we arrived at the apartment, it was relatively easy to find. However, we immediately noticed some issues: the staircase leading up is extremely steep â understandable in older buildings â but the handrail was not securely attached, making it potentially dangerous. The stairwell light also went out before everyone reached the top, and there was no clear indication of a light switch.After dropping off our bags, we headed out for a gondola ride and dinner. But when we returned later that evening, we were horrified to find a rat on the bed, along with rat droppings and other signs of rodent activity throughout the apartment.We left immediately and did not stay the night.I called the listed contact number and left a voicemail, and also emailed the address provided. I followed up again the next day, and now, five days later, Iâve received no response from VRBO, Bookings, or WonderfulItaly.com. Update- they finally (after six days) contacted me.
This apt was in a great location and air conditioned which was nice in the heat. Steep stairs going up to the apt. But we knew that ahead of time. Great restaurants and coffee right downstairs. Thereâs only one little couch but a good sized kitchen table and plenty of chairs. Very cute apartment. We enjoyed our stay.
