Angelo's apartment was the perfect place to stay during our long weekend in Venice. Nestled in the heart of Cannaregio right on San Girolamo canal and surrounded by fantastic restaurants, cafes and bars, Ca' Dell'Angelo was the perfect escape from the crowds closer to San Marco and Santa Lucia. I would literally breath a sigh of relief after turning off of the Grand Canal towards Cannaregio, where the overwhelming crowds dwindled, local families still stroll in the evenings and restaurants are still largely filled with Italian speakers rather than English. Stop by Cafe Dodo for light cicchetti and aperitivo, Al Timon for an incredible steak (and a massive amount of food), or Vino Vero for a huge selection of natural wines. The apartment itself was artfully decorated and very comfortable, with a fully functional kitchen (where we cooked several meals) and good wifi - it was the perfect place to unwind after an afternoon of walking the narrow streets of Venice. Angelo himself was a great host, very easy to work with and easy to reach, and even left us a bottle of sparking wine (which was very much appreciated). Though he was not able to meet us at the apartment, the self check-in process was seamless. We would not hesitate to book Ca' Dell'Angelo next time we are in Venice!
