I booked Ca'Sofia for as a birthday surprise for my partner and it completely met all of our expectations and more. It was quaint, quiet, absolutely spotless and in a beautiful, authentic part of town where you get a real sense of how Venetians live (away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist trail). It's surrounded by cute little restaurants, bakeries and squares and the walk into the centre is very manageable (actually welcome as it gives you more time to admire the sights and get a feel for the city - it's only around 10/15 mins). Francesco and Nicola were also the perfect hosts. Great communication, they came to meet us at the door, showed us around the flat and provided local recommendations on food/places to go. They also give you the option of dropping your cases off with them after you check out so you can continue exploring the city at your leisure until it's time to go. 5/5 stars. Thank you both!! Elaine
