Gorgeous top floor location with lots of space, beautiful views of the city and very close walk to restaurants, churches, etc without being overcrowded.
Fantastic location off the beaten path away from crowds but still a wonderful area. Will return!!! Lorenzo is amazing, extremely helpful with anything you might need or questions you may have.
We loved this antique and art-filled apartment! Alessandraâs apartment is well loved and obviously a home, not just a rental. The views from the Altana are stunning! Love this place.
We stayed a week. The flat is in an excellent location. Spotlessly clean and comfortable. Also delightful in its design, furnishings and artwork. It is a dream cottage in the sky. I would give it 10 stars if possible. A water taxi from the airport or train station will land you 100 yards from the front door. If you arrive by train it is a short 10 minute walk. We loved this flat.
Worth the steps to the apartment!!! The views were magnificent. The apartment was incredible!! Waking up each morning and opening the shutters to the streets below felt like I lived there. Centrally located. Coffee/pastry shop downstairs was a MUST each morning. Highly recommend.
This apartment had everything we needed and we felt very much at home during our stay. Communication was seamless and responsive. Being central, nothing was more than a 20 minute walk. We would highly recommend this property.
We had a lovely stay at this beautiful, spacious apartment. The host and property manager were both very kind and were always helpful with suggestions. The property is perfectly situated with a rooftop panoramic view of the city. Highly recommend this beautiful apartment to explore Venice!
We loved the place and the location. Clean and it was fun to open all the windows and listen to the street chatter every morning. No cars on Venice is sooooo nice. We loved the location with a coffee shop right in the building. Every morning, croissants and cappuccino.
Attractive, quiet, cleverly designed apartment in a delightful area of Venice. Easy to get to from the station. Near the Grand Canal and the basilica of the Frari. Wonderful views from the altana. Perfect for 2 people.
We had a wonderful stay at Alessandraâs apartment. It was spacious, comfortable and felt like home. We were met at San Stae and guided to the apartment. Itâs in a great, quiet location; very convenient to have a cafe right downstairs and short walk to the supermarket. And youâre never more than a few minute walk from the Grand Canal.
The crown jewel of this place, as others have mentioned, is the 360* rooftop terrace. Stunning views and a peaceful space to eat and drink while taking in the beauty of Venice. We would stay again in a heartbeat.
Wonderful host. Cute flat in San Polo that was really only a 15 min walk to the major sights. Lovely shops on the street and a grocery store nearby. Family of four with two kids ages 14 and 19. Big enough to all have our own space. Would highly recommend.
We had a wonderful stay in this apartment.
Lorenza, the hostâs assistant, met us as we disembarked from the water bus and walked us to the apartment.
The apartment was spacious, clean and beautifully decorated. There are coffee shops, restaurants and bars close by.
Alessandra, the host, was very responsive to our questions, both pre-arrival and post arrival. She even arranged for a water taxi to take us to the airport at the end of our stay.
I forgot to mention the roof top patioâŠstunning views!
Great place and would absolutely stay again!
We enjoyed an amazing stay at this home near San Polo in Venice. The home is beautiful, spacious, and very clean. The large bathroom was a welcome change compared to our other stops on this trip. The living room and dining room allowed plenty of space for our family of four adults to relax and recount our exploring of the city - everything within a reasonable walk. The kitchen is well-appointed and the washer + rooftop clothesline were so helpful.
The views from the rooftop are awesome at any time of day!
There are 80 steps to the apartment and no lift, so be prepared for that.
Communication was exceptional before and during our visit and Alessandra provided great directions and local recommendations.
Using WhatsApp, Lorenza guided us from the train station to the correct water taxi line and then was waiting for us at the vaporetto stop. This sure made our arrival and check-in easy!
We highly recommend this home and would certainly return again.

Beautifully restored apt!
My first words walking into this apt was "fabulous". Its open concept with many windows makes it very bright. We loved the wood beamed ceiling! Master bed is very comfortable. We enjoyed going to the local market and cooked some nights while enjoying a glass of wine on the spectacular roof terrace. All in all this the the apt you want to stay in while visting Venice. You can easily walk to all the main sights. The Vaporetto stop is very close by as well. We really enjoyed our stay here. You won't find anything better! We had everything we needed. Thank you Alessandra for all your helpful info & kind advice. Much appreciated!!

The apartment was very nice, and we really enjoyed the little rooftop deck. The air conditioning was nice and worked well. We werenât given the Wi-Fi password at check-in. I sent a message and didnât get a response from the person I was told to contact with problems. Not too big of a deal for us, however, the least, enjoyable part of our stay was having to kill 50+ mosquitoes a night! We had no windows open and donât know how they were getting in. Seems to be a known problem as they have plug in things to deal with mosquitoes in the apartment. If they can find the problem and seal it up then this would be an excellent place to stay in Venice.
Alessandraâs flat is absolutely breathtaking and the only place weâll stay in Venice!
Alessandra was so responsive and flexible and helped us arrange a late-night check-in, following our 9pm arrival. We were picked up by a water taxi at the airport and met Lorenza, who guided us the short (100m?) walk from the drop-off point to the flat and very kindly introduced us to everything inside. Speaking of the water taxi, Titti's service was exceptional. Cruising into Venice by water taxi was an unforgettable experience â we asked Titti for another ride back to the airport when we left!
The flat itself was so perfect for our 10-day trip. With its airy open plan and pristine features, every corner was elegant and comfortable. The panoramic rooftop terrace was our personal haven. Starting our days with breakfast at sunrise and capping them off with Prosecco at sunset, the views and ambiance from the terrace were unparalleled.
Its central location meant we could immerse ourselves in the city, and yet never be too far away to escape the bustling streets below. The breezy windows and AC saved us from the Venetian heat. Having such an open and airy refuge meant that even during the city's busiest moments, we never felt overwhelmed. We could even comfortably work remotely when needed.
The amenities too were top-notch. We cooked several meals, kept a small pantry of food, and completed several loads of washing during our stay.
Would absolutely recommend to anyone!
My husband and I were traveling with our 2 adult children and this was the perfect apartment for us during our stay in Venice. Alessandra is a great host, providing many recommendations for everything from restaurants to water taxis. And I cannot say enough great things about Lorenza the property manager. Our train arrived later than planned and she patiently waited for us at the vaporetto stop, guiding us from the train station to the correct water bus line. And despite it being late, she took the time to show us around the apartment and ensure we were settled and had everything we needed. The location is fabulous - The views from the rooftop are spectacular and the cafe right downstairs is a must stop for breakfast each day. We also appreciated the air conditioning as it was quite warm during our stay at the end of May. As mentioned in a few other reviews, just be aware there is no lift - it wasn't a problem for us but just be prepared to climb the stairs with your luggage. Highly recommend this property for your Venice holiday.
