About this property

In the Venice heart, between St. Marc sq. and Biennale exposition

My flat look at a very quiet 'campo', the tipical square in Venice, and you can take here your breakfast, lunch or dinner. This zone is not a turistic zone but it is very closer to St. Marc square and Biennale exposition
The bedroom has a king size wooden bed very confortable, Matress memory_foam h.18 cm, anti-mite mattress and duvetin .
In the dinner room, you can use the sofà, the armchair, tv and music. There is also a wi-fi connection. You can cook in my kichten. Yes, because this is my home, and I rent it only sometimes and I go to a friend.

Nice apartment and close to the Palace and St. Mark’s Basilica.

It was close to the water taxi and to the Palace and Basilica. I’d recommend a water taxi if you’re going to the train station!!

Perfetto per esplorare Venezia

The appartment is in a great location - close enough to everything yet far enough to have some peace away from the crowds. Super clean and the bed was comfy too. Will definitely come back!

Perfect Location

After pounding the streets of Venice for four days I can quite comfortably say this is simply the best location possible. Its amazing Venice has stolen our hearts and this location really helped. The apartment is actually Barbara’s home and that comes across in spades. So if you want to feel as local as possible (yet obviously be one of the thousands of tourists) then this is the place for you. Her communication was excellent. And was very quick to offer for us to keep our bags at the apartment on our final day. Thank you so much for a wonderful long weekend.

7 days in Castello

Barbara's flat and check-in/check-out fulfilled all expectations. During the seven days we stayed in Venice it was the perfect home base. The fully equipped kitchen, the cosy living-room and the large bedroom from day 1 gave us the feeling we returned home. Communication with Barbara was swift and precise. With that it was easy to arrange pick-up at the Vaporetto stop and check-out. We can highly recommend her flat for anyone wishing to spend a few days in La Serenissima.

Castello apartment

Staying in Barbara’s apartment was a delightful experience. Her home is spacious, charmingly decorated and very conveniently located. You can be in San Marco in 13 minutes walk or 1 stop on the vaporetto, yet Campo do Pozzi is very quiet and peaceful. There is a good pasticceria 3 minutes away for coffee and a morning pastry. The bed is very comfortable, there is a full kitchen and a comfortable living room to read in at night. All the little touches let you no that this is someone’s home, not just a rental apartment, and that was something I really appreciated. She was very easy to communicate with and was nice enough to meet me at the vaporetto stop the first night even though I arrived about an hour late. Highly recommended. .

Off to a difficult start, but Venice is incredible!

Our rough start was due to a difficult challenge with the address given on the website for the property. Neither the iPhone map program, nor Google could make sense of this and sent us all over Venice. Our host Barbara tried to hang in there with us, but was clearly irritated with us being late two hours, arriving at the property lugging all our belongings. We called her several times, but she was unable to assist us with better directions. Finally a young gal in a candy shop who spoke good English and lived in our neighborhood was able to map to the restaurant right near our Host’s flat. Thank God for the restaurant Osteria Ai Do Pozzi! Our saving grace for a meal that evening as well! For those coming after us, use this location as Google maps found it without challenge. The apartment has 27 stairs up, which you need to know. Barbara supplied everything we needed and has a lovely view of the courtyard and inner garden area. All that we needed was supplied! Her apartment is very centrally located, which we found so helpful!

Castello

Alone, I arrived on time in Venice as the sun was setting. I followed Barbara's directions, found the alilaguna blue line water transport and phone her once on. The operator told me in English that the number she had shared was "impossible." I checked my dialing, looked into possible country codes that needed to be added, etc...Finally starting to panic about possibly being abandoned, I tried to reach Verbo with no luck. As a foreigner who spoke little Italian, I became very scared. After about 45 min. I got a phone from an Italian phone number, I answered and the call disconnected. This happened 3 times. Finally I realized I should just call this number, and I finally reached Barbara who said her phone could not accept calls. WHY DID SHE TELL ME TO PHONE HER? WHY DID SHE NOT EXPLAIN THIS? No one should be put through this.

A delightful flight in an ideal location

I had a very enjoyable stay in Barbara's flat. She was an ideal host, even taking the trouble to meet me at the Vaporetto stop and showing me around her property. She couldn't have been a nicer ad more helpful host. The flat itself is in a very quiet location, and only about 15 mins walk to Piazza San Marco. It is furnished as a home and therefore has everything that one could need in terms of comfort and convenience, Highly recommended.

Terrific Venice Location--Central AND Quiet

Located in a truly historic building, completely filled with books, artwork, and personal possessions. Plenty of hot shower water. On a 'campo' which has a nice local restaurant. Five minutes walk to vaporetto stops and the beginning of the Grand Canal. Be aware: 29 steep steps to the apartment. We enjoyed Venice for two weeks. in September.

Venise Céleste

Appartement très calme , d’accès facile, près de petits commerces sympathiques . L’ accès Arsenale , emporté par la crue du 12 novembre , est partiellement rouvert . Sinon l’accès par Célestia est facile mais se faire préciser comment demander l’arrêt du vaporetto ( sonnette pas très visible qui déclenche une lumière clignotante ) . Excellent séjour. Merci Barbara !

A Venice for Venetians

I fear there are not many areas of Venice left, where the local inhabitants comfortably outnumber the visitors. However, this is one of them and it is both charming, quiet and conveniently close to some of the major sites, as well as the Arsenale vaporetto stop, which can be easily reached by foot in about 5 minutes. Barbera is a most considerate and helpful host who did her utmost to make our stay comfortable. Thoroughly recommended. With thanks, William + Wendy

Great Venetian Experience

Barbara met us at the water taxi station, and walked us to her apartment, which is in an excellent location. It is near to everything, yet off the tourist beaten path. The a/c was not working in the bedroom, but Barbara was working on getting that fixed. We had a great time, and would definitely stay at Barbara's place again.

Arrivée stressante

Appartement bien situé près de l'Arsenal . Il est clair et serait agréable un peu moins encombré mais la propriétaire y vit à l'année. Certains aménagements sont fragiles comme les rideaux et les meubles de cuisine, d'autres inutilisables comme la chaîne HIFI (donc pas de musique)... la porte d'entrée difficile à ouvrir. Le vrai problème vient de la communication pour le moins hasardeuse avec Barbara avec qui prendre rendez-vous est problématique : elle n'a pas de téléphone ordinaire ! (seulement whatsapp) et refuse un horaire précis de rendez-vous, vous obligeant donc à trouver une connection WIFI pour la contacter une fois arrivés et l'attendre... très stressant quand vous arrivez... et qu'elle ne répond qu'après 25 minutes à votre message ! Je déconseille donc cette location.

Two Nights in Venice

For me it was a wonderful accommodation, for my use. I went most of the time out for eat and drink, and stayed most of the day in the city(Biennale), For biennale visitors it's great, because it has a very short distance to the arsenale, is in a quite sourrounding. I did not use that much space and compared to my other experiences with venice standards, i can realy recommend this flat. :)

Venice-Arsenal Waterbus Stop

Barbara's place was clean and central between the Biennale de Venezia and San Marcos. Barbara's home was lovely but although there was an air conditioner in the living room the bedroom still remained very hot, we also had no access to a washing machine. Initially it was challenging to get to her place because I had to check in my large luggage and there was a very long line that took a very long time to check in. She was upset it had taken us so long and said we had taken the longest to get to her place. This was upsetting because we had no idea checking in luggage in the train station would take so long. We had really did our best but everything in Venice is so slow especially when taking the water buses. She met us at the Arsenal stop and took us to the apartment where she quickly showed us the apartment and explained she had a special neighbor so we needed to be quiet especially after 11pm. We obliged but we were surpised by her neighbor when she knocked on the door and pointed at a bag of compostable garbage on the floor and proceeded to lecture us. It was the most bizarre experience because I dont think the owner left the garbage and I know we didn't so the only thing I can assume is the neighbor put it there in order to have an excuse to meet us. I don't think she anticipated that I spoke Italian. Anyways, I explained that it wasn't ours but that I would throw it away anyways. FYI Venice has a very strange situation with garbage. There were maybe 3 public garbage cans in the city and all overflowing. This was a challenge because when needing to throw out garbage there was really no where to throw it. Bizarre. But there was a garbage service on Monday morning for non recyclables. But we had to be there because we were afraid to leave it outside in case the neighbor had issues again. Aside from when Barbara was visibly upset and said we had taken the longest to get there. She was trying to get out of town. And we were doing our best. She did attempt to be friendly and spoke Spanish, Italian and French. I think our biggest disapointment was the unavailability of a washing machine which when we booked this place it stated there was one available and we really needed one. This apartment also had a bar/restaurant in the piazza in front of it.

Un super séjour chez Barbara, qui nous a parfaitement accueilli. En plus, elle nous a permis de venir plus tot et de laisser nos sacs a dos, idem en partant, pour eviter de se les trimballer. Son appartement est tres bien situé tout pres de l'arret Arsenal dans le quartier Castello. Je la conseille vivement et sans hesiter. De surcroit Barbara parle français ce qui peut aider!
