Case vacanza in zona Chiesa di Santa Maria della Pietà

Ottima, l'appartamento è dotato di tutto quanto serve in una casa. L'host è stato molto gentile e sempre disponibile alle nostre esigenze. La posizione ottima. Consigliato

Splendida casa, in ottima posizione e condizione, proprietario molto gentile e disponibile. Un unico suggerimento: sarebbe bello avere un divano letto in salotto

central, calme, propre et bien équipé

L'appartamento, da poco ristrutturato, è al primo piano di un bel palazzo con ascensore, luminoso, grazie a 4 ampie finestre nella zona giorno, pulitissimo, ben arredato e confortevole (molto silenzioso). Ottima la posizione: centrale ma fuori dal flusso eccessivo di turisti e vicinissima al vaporetto San Zaccaria. Le foto su HomeAway ne danno una esatta immagine. Vicinissimi, infine, un'ottima gelateria e un eccellente ristorante: "Il Ridotto".

We loved staying for 6 weeks at Apartment 3 at Castello 3390A. It was slightly under-furnished, I would say, but whenever we lacked something it was provided right away. The beds were very comfortable, the bathrooms very nice and functional and everything worked well eventually. The kitchen could have used another counter, for comfortable cooking, but most people who stay for short stays would not notice this. The a.c. was not working for the first month of our stay and as it was unseasonably warm, we did suffer a bit. Antonella gave us a small credit for this inconvenience, an appreciated token of her honorable ways. Regulations forbid the a.c. to go on before May 15th anyway, and by that date the system was working. So for the last few weeks of our stay we were blissfully comfortable. If there had been screens on the windows, all would have been different from the start, of course. In Venice the mosquitoes are aggressive and when one opens the windows they come in and begin to feed on whoever they find as a good host. The "vapa" chemicals used commonly in Italy in plug-in dispensers are toxic and I am very sensitive to them, alas, so that usual solution to the mosquito issue was unavailable to me. This is the situation in most Italian properties. With a.c. and closed windows that problem can be remedied—as it was in our lovely apartment —eventually. The owner of the apartment , Antonella, is very attentive and responsive and generous. And Svetlana the manager/ housekeeper is an exceptional person as well, in every way. She fulfills many roles with efficient grace and with a sweet, generous spirit. The building in which the apartment finds itself is completely modernized inside with a small , eccentrically operated but perfectly functioning elevator. The Washing machine and drier are not in the apartment , but rather on the ground floor, shared by everyone in the building . This was inconvenient, but not exactly a deal -breaker. Having a drier in Italy is a miracle, and the washing machines worked well, though they are VERY slow (1 cycle= 3 hrs!) . The location of this apartment is its best quality. Calle Lion is quiet and yet near all the main sights. If taking a taxi, the canal drop off point is a two minute walk down the street, with no bridges to traverse, also where the supermarket is located. Lastly, the views from each window are spectacular : gorgeous canal views and a private garden! I highly recommend this modest but lovely property.
