Beautiful property in postcard picture location. Quiet ‘side canal’ away from main tourist area but within pleasant walking distance of the central attractions such as St Marks Square and Rialto etc. If walking doesn’t suit, also very close to Grand Canal water bus stops and these are easy to find and use. The canal where the property is located is sandwiched between the Grand Canal at one end and the Canale Della Giudecca at the other, so it feels central and wholly ‘Venice’ but is still really peaceful. It’s within the ‘artists’ quarter so has visitors, just not the crowds that gather in the more central places. There’s a woodworking craft shop opposite the property, an antique/art shop at the canal end and a decent restaurant in a quiet hotel a few doors down. Plenty of great eating places nearby on the Giudecca waterfront and of course towards the Grand Canal. Absolutely no night noise. As a location, we couldn’t fault it. Property itself is spacious, modern, sparkle clean, facilities all as they should be, beds comfy (we were 2 adults and two grown up daughters and weren’t sure from website how good second double bedroom was, but it was more than fine - our girls are fussy about beds and we had no complaints). Really effective (and quiet) air conditioning, terrace at back, small but plenty big enough for eating out. Some people have commented on the noise from air conditioning system when you’re using terrace but it genuinely didn’t bother us. And frankly, properties in this price range don’t usually offer a terrace so this is a real bonus for which we’d have been prepared to accept more drawbacks than there actually were. Supermarket (on waterfront) bit of a trek but owner has provided shopping trolley - if you don’t take it, you’ll regret it by the time you’re halfway back! Wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.
