Veneto farm rentals

We visited with friends for a 4 night break which included going to the opera Carmen in the Arena.From the moment we booked (almost a year in advance) & then during our stay, the host Rosella was superb & very responsive. She was so helpful with recommendations to help us make the most of our stay. The apartment didn’t disappoint & the photos were exactly correct, absolutely lovely & the views of the city from the large terrace were amazing.The location was perfect with everything within very easy walking distance - the train station, city centre/arena etc. Also an exceptional bakery & great supermarket a short walk away. Thank you Rosella & hope to return soon.

We had an amazing stay in the apartment in Castello! The pictures don’t do it justice, everything was very high spec and furnished to a high standard. The kitchen had everything you could possibly want and the bathroom was perfect. The district of Castello is a very good location as it was very peaceful and quiet, away from all the tourist crowds of San Marco but close enough to walk anywhere. Riccardo’s friendly father met us at Arsenale boat station and took us to the apartment. We even had a bottle of Prosecco waiting for us in the fridge and some delicious biscotti! When we return to Venice we would definitely stay in the Castello apartment again. Thank you for a very welcoming and happy stay!

The apartment is nothing short of wonderful. I stayed for 2 weeks celebrating a big birthday and visiting the Biennale and the Redentore. It’s full of light with unparalleled views across to the mainland and along the Fondamenta Euphemia. Perfect for people watching and for seeing Venice at work in the early mornings. It’s so easy to get into all the hubbub at San Marco, and then to retreat to the relative calm and tranquility of Giudecca. Getting to the train and bus stations is very easy if you want to visit other places. We went to Verona for the opera for example. Karen was super helpful in every way as was Barbara the wonderful manager who couldn’t have been kinder. Shopping is super easy too with fresh fish, bakeries, fruit and veg as well as 2 supermarkets on the doorstep. Lots of lovely bars and restaurants right outside. Any noise is completely shut out (if you want to) by the windows and shutters. We had an absolutely fabulous time. Thankyou to Karen and Barbara.Highly recommended!

Great location, well equipped with plenty of space. Host's mother lives in the same building but we had no need to contact her except to book a taxi on the last day. James & Christel

Although the farmhouse is quite remote - and a car is needed to get anywhere from here - the beauty of the natural environment, the birdsong and the fresh air all more than compensate. This is particularly an experience for nature-lovers, families needing amenities nearby would need to consider this. The host was very welcoming and spoke good English. The house was well-equipped with everything you would need (apart from towels), especially if - as we do - you enjoy cooking, and the period features and solid rustic furniture and fittings helped to create a comfortable and authentic experience. our host also helped us to arrange, for a reasonable fee, for a friend to visit the house to give us a fantastic pasta-making class which was truly awesome, our children enjoyed this so much, I know this will always be a special memory for them now and they have acquired a new skill. The kindness, thoughtfulness and generosity of our host (and our cooking teacher) really made this a very special experience for us.

Beautiful, clean, spacious apartment in quiet, area. Great restaurants nearby. We loved the patio by the water and the gondolas passing the windows! Our greeter was lovely and very helpful.

We stayed for four nights and were delighted with our choice. Rita was the perfect host. Excellent communication and very helpful. The apartment is lovely. The bedrooms are very quiet and the beds comfortable with good quality linens. A well equipped large kitchen. We cooked several meals. Lots of lovey little touches. many of the basic provisions provided such as coffee! Superb location with a wonderful view. Lots of good restaurants and food shops nearby. Highly recommend, thank you

Just returned from staying in Italy for two weeks and for the last week we stayed at Loris' lovely house in Cassone. It was easy to find the way to the parking area by using Google maps and Loris also provided directions and maps to help us get there. Loris doesn't speak English but that wasn't an issue as we managed extremely well by using translate apps. Loris provided a garage (and bicycles for those that wish to see the lake area in a more physical way) and met us on our arrival. The garage is just a short 3 minute walk downhill to the house. He also kindly helped us with our luggage and made sure that we were settled in well. The bottle of wine that he gave us was also greatly appreciated ;) The house is on the hill but that is no different from any accommodation in Cassone. Be aware the streets are cobbled so as another reviewer stated, no high heels. It is only a two minute walk from the lake and a minute and a half from the restaurants. The Stella and Avril were our favourites by far. There you will also see the shortest river in Italy! The house is in an extremely quiet area, finished to a high standard and had every thing we needed including a washing machine, hair dryer etc. The windows all had fly screens too! Cassone was in an excellent location for us and was only a few minutes away from Malcesine. There was a bus stop just a couple of minutes away so if you didnt wish to use a car you could easily use public transport to anywhere around the lake. Loris and his wife Adele are lovely people and were so kind and generous. The house was lovely and beautifully clean. I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again and recommend the house and them as a lovely experience. Thank you both!
