This is a gem hidden in an historic neighborhood in Venice. If you appreciate a quaint, private, and authentic place in this magnificent city, Ca' Contessa is what you are looking for. The apartment is tastefully decorate and yet very comfortable. Everything is just as seen in pictures. The two ACs were a life saver. Michele is by far the best host there is! My daughter and I stayed in Ca'Contessa to celebrate her 30th birthday in early August and found Michele to be friendly, considerate, and responsive to all our needs. Our flight to Venice was delayed by several hours and we arrived to Arsenale station close to 2 AM. Michele monitored our arrival step by step and did not go to sleep until we were in the apartment. He made great suggestions about places to visit, means of transportation, and places to eat or grab a coffee. Thank you Michele for all your care! We are grateful for your warm hospitality and highly recommend Ca'Contessa.
