About this property
"Enrico's Hideaway near the Rialto Bridge - It's Over The Moon!"
This original apartment was planned by an architect in a quiet lane close to one of the main streets in Venice, within Campo San Polo - one of the most famous and large squares in Venice - and it is 5 minutes walk from the famous RIALTO BRIDGE.
In Campo San Polo there is the 'Querini Dubois Palace' an excellent example of Venetian Renaissance architecture, today used as a cultural Centre also for the Film festival organization. During that event in September, St. Polo’s square becomes a moving picture theatre every evening. The apartment is really only a few minutes walk from the public water bus (called 'vaporetto' line 1 SAN STAE or SAN SILVESTRO), and it is situated near Rialto, the oldest area of Venice historic centre in a centuries old building, on the 2nd floor (North American designation, 1st European).
The entrance is through an independent door and stairs used by two apartments, with earthenware floor and original wooden beam ceilings. It offers very easy access to all the city attractions (only a short walk (15 min. - to St. Mark’s square!). Moreover, in the same district you can find 'Basilica dei Frari' a wonderful church full of historical vestiges, including Canova’s grave.
The apartment is perfect for a couple on a romantic holiday, as it offers warmth, privacy, and the comfort of the most central position you could wish for! But also, the apartment can be the perfect, comfortable and convenient base to explore Venice's beauty and discover its alleys, canal, sights - restaurants, bars and Bacari or osterie (characteristic and historic Venetian wine bars with daily SPRITZ. Meeting place where it is possible to eat small fried food and have a chat with friends or even strangers).
Shop and market are round the corner and just in a few steps you are at the fish market 'La Pescaria' famous all over the world (fish, fruit and vegetable). Moreover, only in a short distance from the apartment, you can find some of the most typical and characteristic Venetian restaurants, very interesting for the various gastronomic proposals and for the different service and rates, such as: DA FIORE, one of the most exclusive restaurants in Italy, suitable to very high standard dinner; ANTICHE CARAMPANE, Venetian cuisine, high level, very quiet in a charming corner, VECIO FRITOLIN an old and marvellous tavern in Calle della Regina (Rialto), meeting place for artists and, in a short way away close to them, AL NONO RISORTO for a dinner in the garden; in Campo St. Polo BIRRARIA LA CORTE pizza-restaurant and characteristic Venetian cuisine. While, for visitors of the Biennal Exhibition gardens, AL DIPORTO at St. Elena’s island offers typical dishes and is attended by Venetians.

We had a wonderful stay at this VRBO in Venice. The person who greeted us was incredibly warm, welcoming, and helpful, which made our arrival so easy. The apartment was spotless, beautifully maintained, and had such a comfortable, home-like feeling. The location was perfect—close to everything we wanted to see, yet tucked away enough that it was quiet and never felt overly busy. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it!
Communication was excellent! They met us at the water bus stop as instructed and directed us back to the unit. Short walk over a few small bridges, and explained everything very well. Also gave us the opportunity to ask any questions we had. Window views of canals right from the unit and very close to all amenities.Highly recommend!Thank you so much.

It has been a pleasure to host you and your family in our home and you'll be the welcome whenever you want! Hope to see you again!
Enrico’s hideaway located in the San Polo area of Venice is ideally located to explore every area of this beautiful city. There is easy access to several vaporetto stops and also walking to key locations is also convenient.There are a number of interesting restaurants in the area if you become too tired from exploring during the day to want to travel far in the evening.The apartment itself is exactly as pictured and described which is not always the case. It is well furnished and although we ate out all the time except for breakfast if you want to try the beautiful fresh produce from the Rialto market, only a short walk away, then there is everything you need to prepare food also.Communication between us and the host was super friendly from the moment we booked until the day we left. We were met at the appointed vaporetto stop and guided to the property and given good contact in case of any problems.All in all a very peaceful, friendly and enjoyable stay.
Quaint authentic property in the heart of Venice. A short 5 minute walk from the Rialto bridge and water taxi stop. Very comfortable, good amenities, nice canal views.

Wonderful place ! We loved it, would definitely do it again. The apartment is very nice, clean, modern and located in a great location. Very quiet inside, then you step outside into the Venitian vibe. The gondolas go right passed your kitchen window in a very small quiet canal. Check in seamless and Enrico and Marina were awesome ! Couldnt be better.

Dear Mr. Kellil Fish and Zafira Margaret,
I thank you very much for your kind review and I hope to accommodate you again in my retreat in Venice.
Remember please that you could always find your place in Venice.
Enrico
The location was great! The issues we had were the AC was not working. We tried turning it on and the apartment did not get any cooler. It was really hard sleeping when it was so hot. There were also a lot of bugs and we got bit by a lot of mosquitos. The washer was difficult to turn on as we had to navigate figuring out how to connect it to water. That took a few attempts. But the main issue was the AC not working.
This property was exceptional. Fantastic location on a small canal with beautiful garden views in Venice. There are many shops and restaurants nearby and the host was really accessible. Top marks Enrico!
No wonder it is all five star ratings, Enrico's is perfect! Excellent location, beautifully appointed, super comfy bed and a great shower. Plus Enrico and his team and super kind, helpful and responsive. Stop looking, you've found the best place!
Centrally located, everything within easy walking distance. Vaporetto stop S. Stae 7mins walk from apt. Lots of great eateries nearby. Apartment very clean, well laid out and comfortable.

Before I left for Italy I dreamt of an enchanting home overlooking a small canal with the gondoliers going by - & magically this was it! Plus a gorgeous updated suite with a garden out back. This place is simply amazing!

Dear Patty and Barry,
I thank you very much for your kind words about my home, I hope to accomodate you again, my home will be always your nest with the gondolas swingings.
Enrico
The location was wonderful! East walking to many sections of Venice. The host was very responsive and his friend Luca met us at the San Stae water stop and gave us details about the lovely Apt., location and restaurants.
Stayed for five nights and we couldn't have picked a better location to view Venice. We were able to walk to all the key sights. Apartment was perfect for the two of us, comfortable and had everything we needed. Would book again.
Clean, comfortable, practical, quiet, centrally located. Not far from San Silvestro vaporetto stop, eateries, small grocery store. Owner is always very helpful.
We had a lovely stay at Enrico's Hideaway. It is perfect for a couple. There is a grocery store around the corner. Cute shops. Delicious restaurants. All within a short walk. It was the ideal place to stay.
