My wife and I have visited Venice more than 50 times and for the last 25 have stayed in apartments in the Castello district just off Via Garibaldi. This was the first time we have used Ca Marcello in Corte Marcello and, if it is available, will certainly use it again.
The single bedroom apartment is cosy , comfortable, spotlessly clean, and well equipped .
We felt at home the moment we walked through the door, and it was a real home from home.
The kitchen area has a hob and a microwave and though it does not have a conventional oven we were able to cook our meals with ease. The bedroom has a large and comfortable bed and the wardrobe and chest of drawers provided more than enough room to store our clothes and other possessions. The apartment also has a safe to securely keep our passports, credit cards and surplus money until needed.
The bathroom is small but adequate and though there is no bathtub it has an excellent shower. There is television and free WiFi . The apartment is ideally placed within easy walking distance of the main tourist attractions, very close to two vaporetto stops, but in an area where real Venetians still live. Via Garibaldi has a good range of shops including a supermarket, an interesting church, a school and a wide selection of restaurants and bars. Via Garibaldi is a lively place especially in the afternoons when children can be seen playing and families out for a stroll, and in the evenings when many enjoy socialising. We loved the apartment.
