This is a highly recommended place to stay for visitors to Venice seeking to get away from the crowds and yet have easy access for visits in the city center and enjoy proximity to shops for necessities as well as cafés and restaurants. Guidecca island is indeed a connoisseur’s choice – read for example French writer Jean-Paul Kauffmann’s "Venise à double tour" - for it has lovely local ambience and very few tourists, and it is just a few minutes away from Place San Marco by vaporetto (two stops). The dockside of the island has a number of café-restaurants where the locals and discerning travellers enjoy every evening the setting sun with a spritz and an unbeatable view of the churches of Santa Maria della Salute and San Giorgio Maggiore.
This is a well-lit, well-equipped, quiet, and very clean two-room apartment with a real kitchen for those who like to cook and eat in. There is even a balcony looking out onto a small garden and an open area of a ship chandler with a gondola on dry land just in front of you to remind you that you are in Venice. It is a short two-minute walk equidistant to one of two vaporetto stations.
The hosts Nicole and Stefano are extremely reactive to any problems you might encounter or needs you may have. We will certainly be returning here for all our future Venice trips, because it is so practical, comfortable, and pleasant.
