Fantastic place near San Marco

We had a fantastic stay in this apartment, located very close to Piazza San Marco. Be prepared for 5th floor walk-up, but it is worth it. Very clean, modern, comfortable beds, very effective air conditioning and wifi. Easy contactless check-in, but attentive and helpful host.

Great apartment in Venice

This apartment was perfect for our family of four, that offered our sons separate futons. It was nicely renovated and very well equipped. We made the most wonderful tomatoe basil pasta with all fresh ingredients from the market! Situated in a great location we easily made our way around Venice. Being on the fifth floor is a bit of a challenge with luggage but only on arrival and departure. And it may get very hot in the heat of the summer, but I'm told a/c is rare in Venice.

Le lieux parfait pour résider dans Venise

Rejoindre ce lieux tient du jeu de piste mais avec les conseils avisés de Lidia et de sa Vidéo, ça devient un jeu très sympa pour toute la famille. Arrivés à bon port, l'appartement est spacieux, bien agencé et très bien décoré. Rien ne manque et il y a même toute la batterie de cuisine nécessaire à la préparation de la Pasta Aldente... enfin concernant la situation géographique, difficile de faire mieux, les fenêtres du salon et de la cuisine donnent sur le mur du bâtiment de la place San Marco. Rialto à 300m, Saint Marc à 40m, Gelateria à 30m 😃 et café italien au choix dans un rayon de 50m. Donc nous recommandons +++ et merci Lidia pour les échanges. Nous reviendrons.

Right in the middle of everything

Property was perfect for touring Venice. Access to everything by walking. The place was clean and the air conditioning was the best. The apartment is the penthouse so there is a few steps but well worth the walk.

Great location but Dark apartment, with many many stairs.

Dark apartment, with many many stairs. No view. Location is perfect so if you’re going to be out all day long then this will work for you but if you would like to have a view and some lighting I wouldn’t recommend it. Also many many stairs difficult caring the luggage up . The owner sent someone to meet us on the water taxi stop and she showed us to the home so that was very nice. And the owner is very very nice and answered all emails promptly.

Excelente ubicación y atención

El piso está impecable y muy cómodo. Lo mejor su ubicación y como se encuentra en una calle cerrada no hay ruido. Si venís de Rialto contáis con dos supermercados, Spar y Coop, este último sobre el mismo lado del Spar pero unos pasos más en dirección San Marcos y fue el que más nos gustó por su variedad de carnes frías y quesos. El snack bar bajo el piso, de Piero e Mauro es extraordinario y no más caro que los panes o pizzas que veréis para llevar, pero en sabor una gran diferencia. De los vaporetos compramos billete para dos dias de uso ilimitado. La línea 7 os lleva directamente a Murano y saliendo en la última estación en Murano a mano derecha ya podéis ver una fábrica de vidrio. De la parada del Faro tomáis la línea 12 para visitar Burano, que realmente merece la pena verla, no solo por sus tejidos sino por su colorido indescriptible. Bajaros el mapa en Google Maps. El regreso lo hacéis igual y tomáis desde Murano en el faro el vaporeto 7, de lo contrario será muy lento el regreso. Los jardines de la Biennale aloja Pabellones con exposiciones vanguardistas de cada país. Merece la pena y además se puede comer dentro. GRACIAS a Lidia y a la encantadora Verónica.

Modern apartment in perfect location in Venice

Three of us stayed in this apartment for 3 nights in June - it was a perfect place to stay - we wish we could have stayed longer. Lidia was a great host - she was quick to respond to requests, and helped with travel suggestions ( train connections to Venice from Lucca). Lidia met us at the water ferry ( Vaporetto), even after train delay. The location of this apartment is wonderful - right above a canal and near San Marco Square. We could walk everywhere around the island and take the Vaporetto as often as we wanted ( had a 72 hour pass - the two college students were able to get great discount by buying the Rolling Venice card!). Staying right next to San Marco Square means you can really feel a part of life in Venice. This air-conditioned apartment has 1 large bedroom, great bathroom, kitchen with dining table, and nice living room with chairs that fold down for extra bed if needed. It is nicely decorated and with windows looking over the canal ( we took a Gondola one afternoon right by the apartment - perfect). The apartment looks just like the photos I will definitely stay here again if it’s available whenever I can return to Venice and I wholeheartedly recommend this place to fellow travelers. Thank you Lidia for renting this charming apartment in the perfect location in Venice.

A wonderful Venice experience!

We can not thank you enough Lidia and Danila! The apartment was a perfect location for us. Close to all of the action, yet very quiet. And we appreciate the personal attention of meeting us at the dock and helping us with our lost baggage. So very kind of you. I hope our paths cross again sometime.

Very clean and adequate for our needs

From the outside, like lots of the other houses, it did not look very impressive but once inside it was up to date and very modern. Biggest draw back was the five flights of stairs which we had not realised about. Description did say top floor but not how many floors.

What an amazing apartment in the heart of Venice. Close to everything that you would want to see.

First of all, our host (Lidia) was so helpful and kind. She met us at the boat landing and escorted us to the apartment. She explained everything in detail and provided great advice on how to be efficient and comfortable in the apartment. She had great recommendations for restaurants and assured us that she was only a phone call away. The apartment was fantastic. All of the appliances worked as described and the space was open and useful. The bathroom was very smartly laid out and the shower plenty large enough to move around without bumping the sides. All of the windows open to let the cool breeze blow through. When there is no breeze, the apartment's air conditioning system did a great job of keeping the apartment cool so that sleeping was not hampered by the heat outside. The apartment is a short walk from S. Marco Square and all the connecting boat terminals. Getting around and back was easy and the centrality of the apartment made it nice to start each day near the center of everything. Just a head's up; the apartment is on the top floor so be ready for a stair climb. For us, it was only a challenge on the day we took our luggage up. Other than that, it was just part of the wonder of Venice.

Wonderful.......

Our July, 2016, stay at Casa Corte delle Ancore was wonderful. It was as described in the Home Away Ad…….everything we expected and more. There are views of the canal and St Mark’s Bell Tower from the windows. The apartment is spacious, spotless, and cool, with the conveniences of updates but still the charm of the original home. The location could not be better……just steps away from restaurants, sites, St. Mark’s Square, shopping, transports, and more. Lidia met us at the water taxi and we made our way to Casa Corte, a very short distance away. She explained everything we needed to know about the apartment and answered all our questions about Venice……..and believe me, she knows Venice. Our month long trip included four countries. We stayed in apartments, on a ship, and in hotels. None compared to the quiet quaintness and conveniences of Lidia’s family apartment. Lidia, we definitely recommend this apartment and would stay there again. You were so very nice and helpful from the day we inquired about your property through the duration of our stay. Thank you!

confortable et idéalement situé

Charmant petit appartement juste à côté de la place St-Marc. Sa situation est idéale car facile d'accès lorsque l'on débarque sur la place St-Marc, on a pas beaucoup à marcher avec les valises. Cela permet également de le retrouver facilement dans le labyrinthe de Venise. Au dernier étage (5ème), c'est juste le premier jour qui est un peu sportif pour monter la valise. L'appartement est très propre et bien décoré et surtout la literie est très confortable. Nous avons aussi apprécié le très bon accueil de Lidia (en plus elle parle très bien français) Nous le recommandons vivement, il ravira tous les couples qui veulent visiter Venise car il est vraiment situé au coeur des sites touristiques. Pour les restaurants, il y a en a tellement, et des bons, qu'il est diffcile d'en recommander un. Mais en général, il vaut mieux s'éloigner des lieux touristiques, on paye moins cher pour la même qualité de restauration et c'est la même chose pour les boutiques. Seul désagrément, le harcelement des restaurateurs pour nous attirer qui est assez désagréable.

Inmejorable situación. Apartamento amplio, muy nuevo y muy bien equipado. Hemos pasado 6 días allí. Lidia la dueña es muy agradable y estuvo en todo momento muy disponible. Lo único malo es que es un 5° sin ascensor, pero esto queda compensado con lo bien que esta el piso.

Appartement idéal

Appartement parfait, idéalement situé à deux pas de la place San Marco. Tout confort, richement équipé, silencieux, propre et les photos correspondent à la réalité. La propriétaire, Lidia, est très gentille et chaleureuse, parle un français parfait et elle est de très bon conseil, nous la remercions. Conseil de restaurant prés de l'appartement, conseil fourni par Lidia, l'Antica Carbonera, très bon, un peu cher mais le patron est généreux sur le vin et le Limoncello à la deuxième visite. Pour boire un Spritz à l'apéritif, Campo San Luca, dans une pâtisserie, à deux pas de l'appartement. Nous gardons l'adresse pour une future visite.

Maravillosa estancia en Venecia

Estupendo apartamento al lado de la Piazza San Marco, en pleno centro de Venecia pero muy tranquilo a la vez. Esta también muy accesible desde el Puente de Rialto, así que la localización es inmejorable. Hay que tener en cuenta que es un 5º piso sin ascensor, por si se lleva mucho equipaje, pero es lo habitual en esa zona y se sube bien. Tiene todo lo necesario para desayunar y cocinar. Lidia es encantadora y nos ha atendido perfectamente. ¡Gracias por todo! Venecia es una ciudad increible que hay que visitar sin dudarlo, y es esta casita se está mas que bien.

Fantástico!

Precioso apartamento justo detrás de la Piazza San Marco pero ajeno al bullicio de la plaza, limpio y acogedor. Los días fueros un poco calurosos y agradecimos mucho el aire acondicionado. La dueña, Lidia, fue muy amable, explicándonos todo lo que podíamos encontrar por los alrededores, transporte, tiendas, etc. Lo único que hay que tener en cuenta es que se trata de un quinto piso sin ascensor, por lo demás es perfecto!

Perfect in every way !

Right from our initial enquiry, Lidia responded to all e-mails within two hours: she met us from the Alilaguna boat stop at San Marco , only 5 minutes walk from the apartment and over one small bridge : a real bonus when you have suitcases. The apartment was amazing - it had been Lidia's grandparents home and she and her husband have renovated it to a very high standard. It is light and spacious, immaculately clean and maintained. The kitchen is equipped with everything you could need, and the whole home beautifully styled with a mix of antique and modern furniture. The location was spot on : less than a minute through an archway directly into Piazza San Marco , but tucked away from all the hustle and bustle so very peaceful and secure. Lidia took time ensuring we knew how everything worked, how to get to the nearest supermarket, suggesting cafes and restaurants and making us feel very much at home on our first, but definitely not our last, visit to Venice. Thoroughly recommend this property and hope to return very soon. A huge thank you, Lidia, for your kindness. Bravissima !.
