Waterfront holiday rentals in Venice

Great place right in the heart of Venice. Claudia was very helpful and communicative

The apartment was beautiful and perfect for our group of two mothers and three daughters for a few nights. The view right on to the grand canal was fantastic and the apartment itself was spacious, clean and well set up. We liked being out of the crowds but easily within walking distance to all major sights, a few steps away from the nearest water taxi stop. Our hosts were friendly and responsive to any of our questions. Thanks for a great stay, we highly recommend this apartment for anyone visiting Venice!

We really like the house, a designer place. All the details made with thought and it’s not a common apartment - in Venice is hard to find these kind of designer places. Gets slightly dark, less light in the house but we also liked that. Neighborhood is amazing! Far from the loud crowd yet close to walking distance everywhere.

We stayed 2 nights in this Venice apartment. We arrived at the Rialto Bridge stop by vaporetto. The video with directions to the apartment was very helpful. The host was friendly and communicated through text. The location is great! So close to the Rialto Bridge, but tucked back into a peaceful area. We felt safe. The apartment was very clean. It was quiet at night with the windows closed. The air conditioning in the bedrooms and living area all worked well. There are 2 flights of stairs to access the apartment with no elevator/lift, so you need to be able to get your bags up and down the stairs. This was not a problem for us. There are many restaurants for coffee, pastries, and gelato very close by the apartment. It was a very easy 8 minute walk to San Marco square and the Doge’s palace. We were 4 adults sharing the apartment and we were all pleased with it. The price was great when split by 2 couples. We would stay there again!

Giovanni provided a very special, personalized space to call home during our short stay. Felt like we were visiting a friend’s home. Views from every window! We really enjoyed walking the short distance from the busy area around St Mark’s piazza to our lively but quiet and beautiful neighborhood. We hope to stay longer next time. Grazie mille Giovanni!

What a joy to stay at this apartment within an ancient (16 c.) Venetian Palazzo. Simultaneously close to the hub bub of all the sites one wants to see but tucked away from the touristic noise and flow. What you do hear and see from the beautiful balcony is the ebb and flow of the veins on Venice, the gondolier calls and song, the sun tracing along ancient walls to the canal water telling you the time of day. Eclectic, tasteful and comfortable decor. Thoughtful touches added to the kitchen and bathroom for the guest. My month there was bliss, and blessed with the super responsive and thoughtful owner Cristiana. And the generous and patient " custode della casa" Claudia. I can't thank you both enough for help making my adventure so brilliant ! Palazzo Cavazza Foscari is not for anyone looking to stay in bland or generic hostelry. It is definitely for those looking for charming retreat in a magic part of Venice.

Marc and Elizabeth’s space is spacious and beautiful. The kitchen and bathrooms are tidy and well equipped, and the beds are comfortable for sure, but the inspiring design is what should compel you to book. All the details make it feel very special from the terrazzo floors, to the textiles, to the thoughtful lighting. My teenaged sons will forever remember lounging in that gorgeous living room, playing chess while Gilberto Gil and John Coltrane play softly on CD in the background. Cannaregio is a perfect place to stay — away from the most crowded areas but still accessible to everything . For reference, we were able to walk to the Maritime museum on the opposite side of Venice in 30 minutes. Elizabeth was kind and her dining recommendations were spot on.

We had a lovely time at Aglaia’s place. A perfect location, comfortable furnishings. We would definitely recommend this apartment!

I highly recommend booking Andrea’s place in Venice. It was the perfect stay, with very thorough and clear instructions checking in. It is spacious, relaxing and offers privacy. The spa was absolutely perfect for relaxing after a long day of walking and enjoying the accommodations of the city. Andrea was also very kind enough to check in through messaging and make sure we had everything we needed. You’ll be highly satisfied and definitely feel that you got your money’s worth in this location. 10/10!!!

If this flat is available for your time frame, don’t hesitate. Possibly the best place I ever rented. Excellent location, pristinely clean, Great beds. Carlo went above and beyond to show us are surrounding area and highlights. Take his advice on the bakery and restaurant. So happy we were able to experience this place. I would go back. Thanks

Beautiful view and right next to Farragona water/boat taxi. The hostess was wonderful- flexible with our check-in/out. Easy to communicate. The apartment is spacious and clean. We always felt safe. It is a more quiet area and that was just what I was hoping - peaceful and relaxing.

We have an excellent stay in this property it is in a quiet neighborhood but with very quick access to local restaurants and attractions (including the Peggy Guggenheim) and easy access to the water bus. We would love to stay here again on our next visit to Venezia.

We had a wonderful stay at Marco's house. It is very pleasant, the private garden is a very appreciable plus, the house is very well maintained, well arranged, and very clean. The neighborhood is much quieter than the more touristy neighborhoods that can be easily reached on foot or by boat. Irene, who was our contact during our stay, was very attentive to our requests and informed us each time with great responsiveness and efficiency. We really enjoyed staying in Venice in this neighborhood and in Marco's house.

The place was comfortable, the owners let us put our heavy baggage before check in. We liked the double bunked beds and the garden outside. it was very peaceful around the place. We accidentally left the keys inside the house before coming out and locked ourselves outside, luckily the owner was kind enough to help us open the door. would definitely recommend, it was a comfortable stay

Amazing and very clean waterfront apartment. Google maps don’t show accurate directions so I recommend using Apple Maps, our host was very helpful to get us to the right address. The boat station (that you take to go everywhere) is only a few min away, the area is very safe, walkable and has lots of cool spots nearby - cafes, shops, everything. Kitchen is well stocked with high quality pots, dishes and supplies. Hot shower, and washing machine were very nice.

Great time in Venice staying at this perfect location! Very quiet area with plenty of food options, close to all forms of transportation, and within walking distance to everything. The host was very receptive and quick responding back to any questions we had. Charming stay!

Elena’s place was perfect for our stay in Venice. Clear and easy instructions and Elena met us to take us to the apartment. She provided useful history about the apartment which was fascinating. It was an ideal location about 20 min walk to both Rialto Bridge and St Marks Square. Many nearby restaurants, bars and supermarket 2 mins from the property. Although a busy square the apartment was lovely and quiet. Watching the boats pass by along the canal was wonderful. Elena was a perfect host and I would definitely recommend.

If you’re looking for a great view and a place to leave the windows open and listen to the water this is definitely it. It did get warm at night while we were there and there is no air conditioning (just mentioning in case it’s important to you, I didn’t notice it didn’t have one when booking, no fault of the host, I just didn’t read it clearly ) but there is a small fan. It’s in a more residential area so it’s a nice place to be if you are looking to get away from the crowds. It was very spacious and giocomo was a very responsive host even weeks before we checked in when I had questions about transportation.

We had a very nice stay at this place. Walkable distance to everything, and quite tucked away so it feels more quiet. Would come back!

Great stay for 2 days. Host was very responsive and nice.

Not only is the apartment beautiful, comfortable, and clean, Beatrice went above and beyond any AirBnB host I’ve ever had by meeting us at the vaporetto stop, walking with us the five minutes to the apartment, and giving us an overview of the apartment, nearby shops and restaurants, and things to do in Venice. She was available to answer questions throughout our stay and provided helpful info about getting around town. She was so friendly she made us feel very much at home. Would DEFINITELY stay here again!

Great place to stay! Not a super touristy location but super close to the hotspots you’ll want to see!

We loved this Airbnb for our Venice trip! The location was cute and had everything we needed within waking distance without the touristy hub bub of other parts of the city. We felt welcomed by Elena and she was detailed and responsive about communication. Her lovely little guide book was very informative - great pizza recommendation! We also loved the wonderful decor - she has a great eye for decorating!

This apartment exceeded our expectations and it is even more beautifully decorated than the photos suggest. The careful attention to detail was truly superlative, extending to things like a shoehorn and hand sanitizer by the doorway, a pitcher of cold water waiting in the fridge, etc. It is very convenient to the train station, just steps away from the Ponte degli Scalzi (so only one major flight of stairs to navigate with luggage once out of the station) but yet extremely private (and very quiet with windows shut). Francesca was friendly and helpful; she greeted us in person and was very accommodating with our schedule. We'll definitely try to stay here again next trip to Venice - thank you for the wonderful stay!
