An exceptional house and location for anyone visiting Venice. Just steps away from local restaurants/bars and artistic shops on lovely canal in Canerregio, yet this house is secluded and private and incredibly quiet. The superb air conditioning made it a welcome retreat from the heat even in September when we visited. We were met by Maria at San Marcuolo Casino on the Grand Canal and walked within minutes to the house while she recommended places to see and things to do. The house is spotlessly clean and presented beautifully. Not only were we given a bottle of Prosecco as a welcome gift but there was juice, water and beer also for us in the fridge. Coffee/tea biscuits etc also available for us to use for breakfast. The bedrooms have equally good air conditioning as downstairs and the spacious bathroom facilities are excellent. We could not believe how quiet the house was at night. We spent our 3 days walking the streets of Canerregio and Castello as recommended and had wonderful food in local restaurants off the real tourist trail. If you want to experience Venice a little removed from the crowds and tourist traps, but yet have everything you would want within steps from your door-this is the place to stay. We found our hosts to be genuinely interested that we had everything we needed and would have a wonderful time in their home. And we did! It was a fantastic few days in a beautiful part of Venice...and we will definitely be back.
