Stefano was a great host! His communication prior to check-in was very helpful, he clearly stated directions to his apartment, complete with pictures, videos, and detailed instructions. The apartment was just as depicted on the VRBO page. Highly recommended!

Beautiful and homey location that had a very short walk to the canals, restaurants and groceries. Close to most of the sites such as St Marks, & Rialto bridge. The Ospedale water bus was minutes away. Lots of bedrooms and bathrooms.

Great place

HUGE townhome in a fantastic location. Big, comfortable bedrooms. Very quiet. Wifi signal was strong. Stefano was a helpful, communicative host. Would definitely stay here again. Bring your own soaps (handsoap was provided in some bathrooms but no bars) and shampoo, and we didn’t see a single store that sold such things (though we were traveling over a holiday so perhaps these stores were closed).

Excellent place to stay!

We loved staying here, it provided so much space for all of us (8 adults, 2 children)! It was in a perfect location, a little away from the busyness of San Marco, but close enough to easily walk and feel like you’re living like a local! Great restaurants nearby as well! The owner was very communicative and helpful with all of our questions, very clear about how to get to house from all incoming destinations. Would love to come back again!

Perfect Neighborhood

This house was amazing for the 5 of us. We loved having a living room to hang out in and the roof top terrace was a great spot. The neighborhood is amazing and I would suggest the water bus to get there and back as the most efficient option. While a water taxi is lovely the water bus is super close (less than 5 min walk with luggage) and easy to navigate. It’s a subway line only on water. The walk around town is a blast and super easy to get most places. If nothing else grab the water bus. Great restaurants near by and a washer and dryer in the house were great after a week of traveling. Test the door bell so you know what the noise is for the garbage pick up and you will have a great time! The front door is a little heavy but just lean into it :)

Quick jaunt to Venice

This house is wonderful! 15 minute walk to St. Marks and exceptional place. We stayed with only 4 people because it was less expensive than 2 hotel rooms in that area. I am so glad we did! I highly recommend this apartment, even if it feels like too much space.

Eine wunderschöne Woche in Venedig

Wir haben uns von Anfang an in Stefanos Haus sehr wohl gefühlt. Es ist sehr schön eingerichtet, genau wie auf den Fotos. Der Check-In war problemlos und Stefano war immer zu erreichen, wenn wir Fragen hatten. Ein Bäcker war nur 2 Häuser entfernt und der Coop Supermarkt am Anleger Ospedale war in ein paar Minuten zu erreichen. Sehr gute Lokale in direkter Nachbarschaft. Wir haben eine wunderschöne Woche in Venedig verlebt und werden bestimmt wiederkommen.

Plenty of room

Plenty of room in this condo, so you can spread out and relax. Fair amount of pots for cooking in the kitchen. Only disappointing part was trouble with the master shower. It leaked all over the floor, which happens sometimes and we understand can’t be prevented. Sometimes these things happen. But the property manager was more concerned with us not using more then two extra towels to clean up the floor, then the inconvenience and water everywhere. Needless to say, it took more like 7-8 towels to get the floor clean, so we had to wash extra laundry and use our own shower towels to get the floor cleaned up. A bit surprising as far as a response to this issue. Otherwise, everything was good.

Great stay in Venice!

We were a group of 11, 6 adults and 5 teenage boys. There was plenty of room for all of us. The boys loved having the upstairs to themselves. We used both terraces. Angela, the cleaning lady was great. She let us use the bathrooms and drop our luggage when we arrived, and she left the apartment spotless for us. Stefano is a great host! His instructions and communication were wonderful. He even arranged two water taxis for us, the morning of our departure. The location of the apartment is good, and the size is perfect for big groups. We hope to return someday :)

Great place

This was a wonderful find. The home was clean and have all amenities needed. We loved sitting outside on the balconies at night talking about our day. There was 8 of us total and we had plenty of room. The location was great as well. We walked to all of the top attractions from our location. And we wondered through many alleys and found a few treasures on our way back. The home is also close to a ferry boat stop, so we were able to take the ferry boat from the airport. We had a wonderful trip and the host is always available to assist before and during the trip. He also has easy to follow instructions on how to find the location and how to enter. Excellent.

Easy access to everything in Venice

Ca' del Cafetier is located close to the Ospedale stop on the Alilaguna and Vaporetto and is also close enough to be able to walk to Rialto and St. Marks yet has the advantage of being in a quiet neighborhood away from the tourist hubbub. Our host, Stefano, was very helpful through out the process which was great. The unit had everything we needed.

May 30 - June 2 stay

We stayed here in Venice in late May and had a great stay. The A/C in each bedroom kept us very comfortable in the evenings. It was a short water taxi ride from the train station and then a very short walk to the flat once we were dropped off. Everything was clean and we even enjoyed a couple of times in the sauna. We would absolutely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Stefano

Host profile image
Hello, I rent 3 nice flats in Venice:

Ca' del Cafetier

This s our last renovation (year 2016). It is at the same time very central (10-15 minutes from Rialto, San Marco and Arsenale) and in a very quiet and relaxing neighborhood. The apartment is huge : 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, lounge, big kichen/dining room, terrace and roof sundeck. Our maximum occupancy is 12 people, so it is perfectly suited for big family reunion or friends get-togethers.

Ca' de l'Oca

Ca' de l'Oca is very large, beautifully renovated in 2013 and strategically located in the heart of the city and close to Rialto, from where everything is at a walking distance.

Biennale & Style

This place is cosy and located in the core of a residential area where mostly true Venetians live. It is perfectly located both for visiting the ancient city and for going to the beach at Lido (I use it myself when I have no guests). It is also very close to the Biennale of Art.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Cheers, Stefano

Why they chose this property

I love to have guests in my apartments, but it is not my main work : I am a scientist at the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche in the field of controlled thermounclear fusion.

So I set up a joint venture with Natalia. I collect the booking and I am your reference person up to arrival. Then Natalia will take control: she is your hostess in charge for professional clean up, linen washing, ironing and the meet & greet service.
