Ca’ Luna is a charming residential flat furnished in typical Venetian style and ideally located, just three minutes walking from Rialto Bridge and St. Mark Square, yet peaceful and romantic.
It’s a cozy home, bright and south-facing, overlooking on a beautiful vineyard and Palazzo Zorzi, second most important Unesco headquarter in the world!
The apartment is composed by a large bedroom with wardrobe, a spacious kitchen fully equipped where you will find everything you may need to enjoy your stay, a very comfortable bathroom with shower and washing machine and a wide living-room where we settled a very comfortable sofa bed, a tv set and a nice library! We also have an extra bed that can be places both in the bedroom or in the living room: there will be plenty of room in any case.
The apartment has been carefully restored in 2006, with oak-beamed ceiling and wooden floors and it’s very functional. It’s approx. 60 sqm. and it’s perfect for up to 5 guests. It’s very comfortable, having air-conditioning, independent heating and free WIFI internet.
The house is in a strategic position to enjoy the most romantic city in the world.
At an easy reach from the public boat stop and right at the back of St. Marco’s church, Ca’ Luna is located in the Sestiere of Castello in a secret part of the city, so mysterious and silent that you feel in a different world!
THE AREA
Castello is the largest of the six sestieri of Venice. The district grew up from the thirteenth century around a naval dockyard, which became the largest naval complex in Europe (called Arsenale), and the monasteries in the north of the quarter. It was later altered by Napoleon, who planned what are now the Biennale Gardens.
Most interesting attractions in Castello are the Church of Santi Giovanni e Paolo build in 1368 hosting 25 dogi’s graves, ancient leaders of the Serenissima, the church of San Giorgio dei Greci, the Campo Santa Maria Formosa, the Church of La Pietà and the Church of San Zaccaria.
In the area, are also located the most beautiful and picturesque Venetian palazzi, like Palazo Quercini Stampalia.
Not to be missed in Venice:
Basilica of San Marco: overwhelming and seducing church, with its “campanile”, that you must climb to enjoy the most gorgeous view of the city.
Gallerie dell'Accademia: proposing the world's best collection of Venetian painting.
Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari: of Venice's many gorgeous churches, this cannot be missed, with its important works by Titian.
Cruising the Grand Canal: whether seen by gondola or by water bus or taxi, Venice's Main Street is something breath-taking.
Snacking at a bacaro: the best way to taste genuine Venetian food and feel like a native, is to head for one of the typical wine bars.
Ghetto: the ancient Jewish area is one of the most striking and secret places in town.
You can enjoy this and more in our amazing city. I’ll be glad to give you more hints!

Great location: on a small quiet street in a charming neighborhood, yet just a couple of minutes' walk from San Marco and the Rialto Bridge. The apartment's good sized, well equipped, and quite well maintained. We stayed for two weeks and definitely would have stayed longer if our schedule allowed because the apartment was so "homey". Eva was very helpful and always reachable and responsive. Unless you're looking for place with a canal view, you'd be hard pressed to find a better spot in Venice. I'd recommend the apartment to anyone and everyone!Recommended for: Age 55+, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

We stayed at this apartment over Carnivale. We are a family of 4 (2 children 12 and 9 years old). We thought the location of this flat was perfect. We were no more than a few minutes walk to San Marco. The location was easy to find after a day of exploring as well. The flat has generous size. The couch in the living pulls out and easily fit our two children. The bed in the bedroom was pretty firm and fit my wife and I easily as well. There was lots of closet space in the bedroom to hang shirts and pants. The kitchen was nice and stocked with basic utensils and a nice size fridge and the dining area included a table for 4. The neighborhood was very quiet at night which is much welcomed after the hustle and noise of San Marco during Carnivale. The windows from the bedroom and living room opened to a small and quiet courtyard. Eva provided outstanding email communication and had a nice lady waiting for us at the San Zaccharia water bus stop when we arrived. She escorted us to the apartment (less than 5 minute walk) and gave a nice orientation to the flat. There was a binder in the apartment that was filled with useful information about Venice. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Venice and loved the location of this charming Venetian flat. Eva is trustworthy and I would recommend this flat to others and rent it again.Recommended for: Tourists without a car, families with young children, sightseeing.

The booking of the apt was quite simple and uneventful; Eva was quick to respond to questions and offered great advice The location of the apt can't be beat; its minutes from St Marco's. There are numerous cafes and restaurants within walking distance. With the apt being located off a side street it is quite quiet and at all times we felt safe walking home in the evening Upon arrival Eva has put together a binder containing lots of helpful information on restaurants, attractions, transportation etc. This came in handy when we searched for a grocery store to stock up on light snacks and drinks The apartment is quite spacious and well appointed. It was clean and tidy upon arrival. The air conditioning was truly a blessing as we present during some of the hotter days in August. Being on the road in Europe for 5 days already with two young children the washer came in handy We would definitely book this apt again should we return to the cityRecommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, sightseeing.

We stayed in the height of summer vacation when the city was full! This apartment on a side street tucked away was terrific. On the second floor, with a great bathroom with shower, kitchen that was stocked with necessities like sugar, salt, some coffee to get you started, washing machine, WiFi, and air conditioning which was very much appreciated! Very clean as well. Grocery stores at your doorstep almost. Eva had a wonderful information booklet put together that was very helpful. The one thing i would say is that the pull out sofa bed was a bit old and sagged towards the middle. Perfect for kids though. Thank you for such a wonderful apartment!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, families with young children, sightseeing.
Owner response: Thank you for this wonderful review and feed-back! I was not aware the sofa bed had some problems so after check-in it, I bought a new one right away. Now it's absolutely comfortable both for adults or for children.

Our family of five stayed at this apartment for two nights and we were extremely pleased with our accomodations and the service we received. Starting with our hostess, Eva. From our first contact she was very helpful and well organized. She gave us so much information as to how to get there and how to get around in Venice. Outstanding customer service! The apartment! We were fortunate to have five weeks in Europe and we stayed in many different vacation rentals and inns, the vast majority of them were very nice, but this apartment was a step above all of them. There was plenty of room for all of us, a huge, well equipped kitchen, a washing machine, air conditioning and reliable Wifi. On top of all of this, the location was awesome! Just a short walk to The Plaza and small markets and shops nearby. The area had everything we were looking for, but was also quiet. I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone vacationing in Venice! We fell in love with Venice and if we are lucky enough to return one day we will definitely book this apartment again!Recommended for: Tourists without a car, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.

I will be sending a link to Eva's Venice apartment listing to everyone I know because this is the way to be in Venice! Skip the expensive hotels. Lovely apartment, lovely neighborhood. Eva, everything was so easy from the Vaporetto to meeting Tanja to buying breakfast at the Coop. Apartment was clean, classy, and the air-conditioning was sooo nice. My spouse and I wish we could have stayed for a few more days. Your notebook of recommendations and advice was appreciated!Recommended for: Tourists without a car, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, girls getaway, sightseeing.

Our family of 5 (myself, my husband, eight-year-old daughter, 17-month-old daughter, and mother-in-law) stayed here for one night on a last-minute trip to Venice from Rome. We had a VERY pleasant stay. Ca' Luna offered the main requirements that we were looking for on our trip: WiFi, air conditioning, cleanliness and comfort (not necessarily in that order, but all just as important). Eva was also very helpful, remaining available throughout our stay. We even decided to stay another night (again, last-minute), and she arranged for us to stay in another of her properties (since this one was already booked for that night). I would highly encourage anyone to stay in any property offered by Eva; you will not be disappointed. She has thought of many details that other owners have not (and we've stayed in many offered by VRBO). She even thought to put thick, plush comforters in the wardrobe that were quite inviting! Thanks for the wonderful stay, Eva!!! We very much appreciate all of your help!Recommended for: Age 55+, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.

We spent 8 nights here in October and found the accommodations to be clean, comfortable, convenient and very quiet. There is a binder containing info on nearby restaurants and the supermarket. It would also be good to include data on how to turn on the heat in the apartment (it was cold and damp several nights, but we could never determine how to activate the heat). Also, be prepared to battle mosquitos. There may be standing water in the gardens of the restaurant below the apartment. This apparently is not a new problem because mosquito remains are splattered on walls of the apartment.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

We did not stay at this exact location, as it was booked, but Eva was very accommodating in helping us find another one of her properties. We stayed there for several days on our honeymoon. Eva was very helpful - there was a slight problem with the air, but Eva had someone there quickly to fix it. We stayed right by the Rialto - terrific location and wonderful home. Don't waste time staying at a hotel - VRBO is a great way to experience Venice, and Eva will take great care of you!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

Not being fans of hotels but wanting somewhere central from which to explore Ca'Luna was fantastic for the 2 of us. For 4 nights we felt we were living like locals shopping at the markets and watching the cook outside peeling the prawns for the restaurant. The apartment is spacious and handy to everything. The process of booking with Eva was seamless - she told us how to book the ferry on line and we were met at the San Zaccaria ferry stop exactly as organised plus she was also available by email. If you are keeping in touch with family back home or planning forward trips the wi-fi is a real bonus. Have no hesitation in recommending this apartment as real value for money however it may not suit people who have difficulties with stairs as there is a short flight into the apartment - but then again Venice is full of stairs :-)Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, sightseeing.
