Holiday rentals near Villa Belvedere

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!

I had the most lovely stay here. Sebastino is absolutely wonderful. A true Venetian local. He showed me where he went to Elementary School down the canal! This apartment was perfect for my artist getaway. It was March and I had lots of rainy mornings but it was so perfect to sit in front of the window and sip my coffee and paint the canal and bridges and passersby. The bed was really comfortable and shower hot with good pressure. It was in a wonderful location by the train station and Vaparetto stops and has some great local eats close by. I love this sweet apartment with an amazing view and hope to be back when I visit Venice again.

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!

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.

There would be so much to say about Venice and our stay, but I will keep it as short and sweet as possible. The apartment is located about 25minutes walk from the train station, but a much shorter walk from the Alilaguna boat bus (about 5 minutes). Venice is fully walkable and stunning. We’ve had a 3 nights stay in Giovanni’s beautiful apartment, where we had everything we needed. We spent one day in Verona, which is so beautiful, as well. We visited the landmarks, of which the Arena was the most impressive to us. We got there from Venice Santa Lucia train station and paid €65 return trip for 4 people. We stopped at Verona Porto Nuevo station. Everything in Italy seems laid back and simple, from travel to dinning. Venice is definitely expensive from all points of view, but if you’re ready to walk around, without getting lost through the narrow, winding alleys, then you can definitely find places to eat and drink well, at very reasonable prices. Regarding the apartment, everything was smooth from start to finish. Giovanni has been very helpful and answered any questions we have had promptly. The apartment is equipped with everything a couple or small family may need for a few days. The beds are comfortable and the bathroom is modern. From the apartment to Piazza San Marco is about 15 minutes walk. The church in San Marco is jaw dropping. The Palace of the Doge’s was left out, as we found it expensive at €30 per person. Venice is a true gem. It must be explored fully.

Great property with amenities as advertised. A great base to explore Padua and beyond. Good communication with host.

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
