This is a gem! Great location and two very comfortable bedrooms in an antique and beautifully-restored home. All of the magic of Venice outside and inside a beautiful place to rest after making your way through the winding streets.
I was traveling with my young adult son and, while a little tight (the kitchen is the only shared space), it was very comfortable. Nice high ceilings, excellent beds, a very elegant kitchen and a bathroom – everything you need for a Venice home base! We got caught in a torrential downpour & thunderstorm one afternoon and were so grateful to bring our soaking selves back, wring out and hang our dripping clothes on the many hangers, turn on the heat and enjoy a quiet glass of wine in this cosy space.
Couple of things to note: near the Ca d'Oro stop on the Vaporetto; as other reviewers wrote, look for the McDonald's on the Strada Nuovo, Gianni's place is on a little side street almost to the canal. The double bedroom looks onto an interior courtyard, the twin bedroom opens onto the street so is a little louder. Also noted by other reviewers - like many Italian showers, it is not set off in a separate enclosure so water may puddle on the floor - a minor inconvenience.
Venice is crowded during the day at all times so maneuvering through the narrow streets with suitcases is an exercise in patience! Evenings are magical (even in the rain!) since the streets are much more empty. We had good food but the best was at Estro in Calle S. Pantalon - wonderful meal & wine selection. Another place we wanted to get to but did not was Vini da Gigio which is around the corner but was closed when we were there (holiday).
