This distinctive ground-floor apartment is situated in the vibrant district of Cannaregio, near the magnificent Madonna dell’Orto church (and its handy vaporetto stop, offering a 20-min Alilaguna boat ride direct from the airport).
Handy, yet well-off the battered main tourist track, one can live amongst the locals as a local. Grab a caffè in a bustling pasticceria, shop in the open markets, or dine in one of the many colorful seafood restaurants lining the nearby Misericordia canal; check e-mail before heading out to explore the city over tea in your private garden.
The iconic, eponymous church of Madonna dell’Orto with its world famous collection of Tintoretto works is literally around the corner, as is the artist’s home where he lived for most of his life.
This is a ground-floor apartment that is *never* affected by high-water (although we supply boots in case it shows up outside). Draw screens down over open windows and mosquitoes will never be a problem.
This is the quintessential Venetian neighborhood, 'ben servito,' which means you can find anything from supermarkets, fresh markets, and shops for vino “al sfuso” and finer fare, to butchers to pasticcerie, from clothing and shoe to hardware stores, to bars and bàcari to notions and pharmacies. This area of the Cannaregio sestiere also boasts some of the best and most reasonably options for dining in Venice, with a host of cafes and eateries in the city. Of course, you’ll receive our insider’s list on arrival!
This cozy, airy apartment is handy to the Orto vaporetto stop serving Lines 4 and 5, and also to San Marcuola and the Grand Canal. Saunter to the San Sofia traghetto to be ferried to the Rialto Markets and all of San Polo, or hop the Ca d'Oro vaporetto instead.
For the actively inclined, just down the fondamenta Gasparini is the starting point for RowVenice.org Venetian rowing lessons.

Notes
- The apartment is located on the garden level: that's te ground floor in Europe, and 1st floor in North America. The apartment has a mobile 'penguino' air-conditioner, though it is rarely necessary as the position and composition of the apartment keeps it cool in the summer. We also supply plenty of fans for use in any or all rooms.

Great place to stay, away from the crowds but close enough.
Very uncomfortable and ill-equipped apartment
Thank you for taking the time to write such a thoughtful, albiet somewhat surprising, review.
We are puzzled at why, if you needed something you didn't find during your stay, that you didn't let us know. We make it a point to be easily reachable by email, text or Whatsapp; we would have been happy to at least attempt to assist you in any way we could, if only we had known you had problems.
You did not let us know about anything that was missing until this review. There was indeed an American coffee pot (thus the coffee filters in the cabinet), it seems someone took it without our noticing. We have now replaced it. There definitely should have been spare toilet tissue and we would have again been happy again to put that right if only we had known.
The antique Empire sofas in the living room are a favorite of ours; one guest liked them so much she searched for one for herself when she returned home. They are indeed deep, that is why we include a plethora of opulent pillows for lounging and reading with your feet up. We sincerely apologize that they weren't to your liking.
However, there is no 'broken down' furniture in the living room. The chairs are quite sturdy, with brocade covers; while they are not enormous we're not sure why anyone would have any fear of sitting on them. All of our guests do, as do we.
It seems that Corina's Venice wasn't for you, and we are truly sorry you did not enjoy your stay there. We would like to suggest, though, that the next time there is something amiss in your lodging, to let the proprietor know during your stay so that they can at least attempt to make you more comfortable.
In any case, we wish you all the best to you in your future travels.
Incredible Venice
Comfortable apartment in a natural setting.
Peaceful, convenient apartment

This is the quintessential Venetian neighborhood, 'ben servito,' which means you can find anything from supermarkets, fresh markets, and shops for vino “al sfuso” and finer fare, to butchers to pasticcerie, from clothing and shoe to hardware stores, to bars and bàcari to notions and pharmacies.

Of course, you’ll receive our insider’s list on arrival! Alilaguna Arancio line offers an easy 20-minute, €15 boat ride from the airport to this extraordinarily tranquil neighborhood, just around the corner from Tintoretto's original home, his church, the luminous Madonna dell'Orto, and the Jewish Ghetto. This cozy, airy apartment is handy to the Orto vaporetto stop serving Lines 4 and 5, and also to San Marcuola and the Grand Canal. Saunter to the San Sofia traghetto to be ferried to the Rialto Markets and all of San Polo, or hop the Ca d'Oro vaporetto instead.
