About this property
Starfish 5 .
A pretty and spacious apartment, with all the comforts. The house as it is today is the result of an architectural salvage of an old industrial structure, nearby the hotel Molino Stucky, in the suggestive and pleasant ambiance of Giudecca island.
The apartment has an independent entrance overlooking a quiet alley and access is with a numerical code communicated during check-in.
The 90 square meter apartment is situated on two floors, it is composed of three bedrooms and it can comfortably accommodate 6 people: - On the ground floor you will be welcomed by the living room with sofa and TV; the living area with kitchen equipped with dishwasher, oven and microwave oven; a laundry room with washing machine and a safe box; a bathroom with shower; the first double bedroom (with a cot on request). - Upstairs you will find a double bedroom in the open space of the mezzanine above the living area; a bathroom with shower; a bedroom with two single beds.
Free WIFI and air conditioning/heating in every room.
It is located about 150 m. from the Palanca pier (water bus). In the same area there are various types of shops and nice restaurants. Everything is outside of the big tourist flows so our guests can really dive in the most authentic Venetian life.
The island of Giudecca is separated from its namesake's canal of 300 meters from the city, but is well-served by public transport. Indeed from here all destinations can be reached: Saint Mark's, Lido with its beaches, and the islands of Murano, Burano and Torcello.

The apartment is as the photos show The queen bed upstairs is the loft, I had thought it was the two twins. The downstairs bed and bath are sizable while the upstairs bath is small. That being said we had a perfect stay as three couples and made it all work. It was hot and the AC worked great. Good WiFi.. location is excellent, very close to Palanca boat stop. If you are going to/from airport the Molino Stucky stop is literally almost next door. Cristina could not have been more helpful with transport instructions ahead of time and was super helpful when we were there. We had a great stay, and loved being on Giudecca!!
We stayed 3 nights and enjoyed convenient access to nearby restaurants and the vaporetto station. The owners were fabulous, giving us helpful information and helped coordinate travel for us back to the airport.

Located out of the busyness but just a quick water bus ride away from many attractions. There were restaurants close by and a small grocery store. The home was clean and provided everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. Cristina was super accommodating and very friendly. Highly recommend.
In a convenient location in a quiet area away from the crowds, this rental has nearby restaurants and is a short walk from the Palanca vaporetto stop. The rooms are attractive and comfortable.

This was an amazing location, with an Alilaguna waterbus to/from the airport, a vaporetto stop, restaurants, and a grocery store all in quick walking distance. We appreciated the comfortable, firm beds. Two bedrooms are upstairs (one an open loft space) and one downstairs. There is a laundry room with a washing machine plus a drying rack that worked well. There was also an iron and a European-voltage hair dryer. We recommend this apartment to others!

The host is absolutely amazing, was able to help through issues and help me get checked in over a very long and late travel day. The property is very tastefully done, the amenities in the area are fantastic and it’s very close to all of the water taxis. Quiet stay! I highly recommend this host and property. The host is able to help you navigate difficult timetables, and give you the best routes to the property from the airport! Thank you!
The apartment lived up to the photos, and in fact it exceeded expectations. It was in excellent condition, with a good layout. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was very well-equipped, and the location suited us. It was a short walk to the Palanca vaporetto stop with the number 2 stopping there frequently to whisk us either to Zattere on the other side of the Giudecca canal, or to San Marco. There were a number of really good restaurants not far along the waterfront - enough choice to not have to go far after a long day sightseeing. Christina was very easy to deal with, and responsive to any messages. Overall we would highly recommend.
This property is lovely, the air conditioning is a huge plus. We were a group of five including our two teens, the bed mix was awesome to make that work comfortably. Well appointed, the space is great to have to relax in the evening, only drawback (although very doable) is the size of the showers, I am over 6' and over 200lbs, it worked but felt like an old cruise ship. There are groceries and pharmacy nearby and a great coffee shop for the morning. The ad is clear about this but the only thing I would say is since you are on the island of Guidecca there are plus and minuses, you are secluded and quite which at night is great. The Hilton hotel next door offers a late night drink or a quick bite on top of the local places, so you have what you need. But you will need to plan all your activites accordingly to the boat schedules and assume you will pay extra to get to everything for those boat rides. The Hilton offers a great free option to hop across the cannal but the times are limited. All that being considered, this is a great place and you want to book it, I would say go for it.
My husband and I were away on our 25th anniversary. We spent three nights at this apartment and really loved it. The property manager Cristina and her husband Nino are fantastic! They really went above and beyond to get us settled in and comfortable.
The apt is in a great area and we loved staying on Giudecca. It was fun taking the ferry over to Venice and very easy. We took a water taxi to and from the airport which is definitely costly, but in the interest of time and convenience we did it. There are some nice restaurants on the island so we ate both there and in Venice.
We would definitely stay here again.
Nino and Cristina A perfect hosts. They are kind considerate and careful to make sure you have a great experience. The property itself is beautiful. If anything the pictures don’t really do it justice and it looks amazing. It was cool clean and quiet and it close to everything.
Appartment hat alles gehalten, was versprochen worden war. Bett excellent, Ausstattung excellent. Möblierung excellent. Größe der Räumlichkeiten excellent. Nur die Fernsehverbindung war teilweise inakzeptabel. Nur wenn das Wasser steigt, kann es zu Problemen mit der Anbindung zum restlichen Venedig kommen. Im Normalfall bedeutet das aber nur einen Zeitvertreib Verlust von 20-30 Minuten.
Venedig immer eine Reise wert. An diesem schönen Ort wurde es uns sehr leicht gemacht unseren Urlaub zu genießen.
Dear Cristina,
we had a wonderful time in your beautiful apartment.
We really enjoyed the peace and hospitality on Guidecca.
We will definitely come back.
Venice has so many sites that want to be discovered.
