- Annette (10/5): Eine tolle Wohnung, in toller Lage. Sauber, mit Blick auf die Lagune. Nette Vermieterin. - Die Unterkunft hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Die Vermieterin war sehr nett, hatte viele nützliche Tips. Die Lage war einzigartig, ruhig gelegen aber trotzdem zentral. Die Wohnung war sehr gut ausgestattet, geradezu luxoriös. Alles war sehr sauber. Wir kommen gerne wieder. Uns hat alles gefallen.
- Heidi (10/5): Great apartment in venice - Excellent apt for a visit to venice. Our second stay. Elise, the host. Is wonderful. Provides excellent direction on reaching apt. Super easy to get there from Marco Polo venice airport on alilaguna blue line. Elise meets you at the dock and it is 2 minute walk to the apt with no bridges when coming from the airport. Apt has everything you need.
.
- Vanja (10/5): A perfect stay in Venice, made even better by a fantastic location and an incredibly helpful host. - I loved everything about Casa Fondamente Nuove. The apartment is comfortable, well located, and a great base for exploring Venice. It is also very convenient to reach from the airport by Alilaguna boat—just the second stop —making arrival easy and stress-free. The owner was exceptionally helpful, providing valuable information about Venice and many small tips that truly enhanced our stay. She was always responsive to inquiries and available whenever we needed anything. There was nothing I didn’t like, everything was perfect.
- Marina (9/5): The apartment was very comfortable and in a beautiful position. -
- Thomas (10/5): An unforgettable stay in a beautiful Venetian flat, with stunning views stretching towards Murano. - We loved our stay at Casa Fondamente Nuove and would definitely stay there again! You could not ask for a better host than Elisa who is just lovely and a fountain of local knowledge! Communication with her prior to arrival was excellent and easy and she met us off the waterbus when we arrived and was incredibly helpful throughout our stay. The bed was really comfortable, and the flat has everything you need and is impeccable. We particularly loved the views from the window and saw some beautiful skies, see the 2 photos attached! We absolutley recommend this flat, - a perfect blend of comfort, charm and serenity! N/A
- Arman (9/5): Venice is an absolute dream, the location of this property was perfect for our family. - Elisa met us at the dock and walked us to the location, gave us a guide of the best places to eat and visit. A booklet with recommendations. And kept us informed about any changes. N/a
- Claire (10/5): Great location, so clean and comfortable. - The property was spotless and nicely furnished. It was in a great location to the water boats. Elise the host was very helpful with great recommendations and was always available. No negatives about the property or host.
- Skvarch (10/5): It was like a dream. - It is a gorgeous apartment right on the water. It’s very safe and secure, and close to the dock so it’s impossible to get lost. The Canareggio district is wonderful! Our host was so lovely and accommodating!
We cannot recommend this place highly enough. Nothing
- Patti (9/5): Wonderful spot to stay in Venice with a great host - This is a wonderful spot. We loved the ease of the location. The apartment has everything one needs. Elise is an amazing host, so welcoming and had many great recommendations for us. Loved that she met us at the dock and saw us off. I highly recommend this place Nothing
- Jane (9/5): -
- LUMBAN PARDEDE (9/5): A high-quality apartment in a less noisy area of Venice. Also, the host provided great hospitality. - The quality of the apartment and the hospitality of the host. Nothing. All great
- Lindsie (10/5): Perfect Stay in Venice - The location was perfect. Our host was incredibly responsive and organized. She lives in the apartment above this one, which made her accessible, but she was never intrusive. When you check in, she gives you an apartment and Venice “tutorial” to make your stay as stress-free as possible. She also has an incredibly helpful binder of information in the apartment. The beds were very comfortable. The layout was perfect. The bathroom was great and spacious enough for two people to get ready at the same time. The location was quiet, but near restaurants. The view from the apartment is stunning. All of Venice is easily walkable, as is the case with this apartment. I will stay here again the next time I go to Venice and would recommend it to anybody else.
- Joleen (10/5): -
- Petra (10/5): This was a wonderful property and host. Will stay here again. - The host was amazing and helpful. The property is located in an A+++ prime location for travelers to Venice, in terms of being able to get to/from airport, getting around Venice by vaparetto, and proximity by walking to the sights that Venice has to offer. It was clean and had all the amenities for a comfortable stay.
- Loung (10/5): A lovely place and host ( Thanks Elisa). I would recommend the property for your family vacation; you will have a great - Very clean, spacious, very close to water boat dock and grocery stores and restaurants None
- Story (10/5): Perfect! No other words needed! - We had stayed here before and were sooo excited that it was available. Elisa could not be a better hostess. She is thorough and prompt yet welcoming and efficient. She give great advice and is certainly available if needed but not in your way at all.
The apt is 20 steps from the ferry dock. And Elisa will meet you when you arrive and see you off when you leave. There is nothing we didn’t like.
- Paul (10/5): We loved our stay had a great time and we loved our host. - Firstly the Host, she's a super host, very friendly, approachable and very informative. She met us at the water bus stop very close to the apartment on our arrival. She sat us down at the table after she showed and talked to us about how everything worked, took out a map and showed us where all the best places, restaurants, bakery's and shops like the co-op were and how to get there. When we checked out, she took us back to the water bus station to ensure we got on the correct one that took us where we needed to go.
Gorgeous apartment with stunning views, perfect location and easy to get to anywhere you wanted to go whether walking or using the water bus. We loved the water bus. We felt very safe and secure. We will definitely be returning and
highly recommend this accommodation. We genuinely loved everything including the beautiful sunsets looking out of the windows. Don't be fooled by the pictures of the windows, they are both big and lovely to look out at the water and all the boats going to and fro, it's really fascinating to see.
- Sophie (10/5): Marvellous place! - The appartement was immaculate and exactly as described. The view is stunning.
The owner is a fantastic host: welcoming and full of precious insights.
- Ed (10/5): Exceptional - Elisa very helpful!
- Pam (10/5): Exceptional - Elisa met us at our water taxi from the airport and guided us to the front door, showed us how to use everything in the apartment, and made suggestions as to what we might enjoy seeing while in Venice. Location was quick water bus ride, everything in Venice was no more than a 30min walk. Excellent, superb overall. Wonderful experience overall!
- Joni (10/5): Beautiful, convenient, perfectly located flat in Venice; would absolutely love to return here; - This flat is spectacular--in location, comfort, views through the window, convenience, and graciousness of the host. We absolutely loved staying here and found it a perfectly located and beautiful flat for traveling around Venice and the islands. Quiet, yet easy to access anything you would want to see in Venice. The vaporetto system is wonderful and so efficient. The host is super organized and we are grateful for the extra work she did in helping us with various things before and during our trip. Gracie mille! n/a--all was fantastic
- Gordon (10/5): Lovely host very helpful before and during our stay - Good location for boats to Murano Burano and airport
Great views over Laguna activities
Short walk into central Venice Niente
- Keith (10/5): Exceptional - Elisa was an exceptional host. She meet us at the boat station to take us to the apartment and was very generous with her time showing us the apartment and then went through all the local shops and restaurants etc.
She was always available and booked a water taxis for us when it was need.
Highly recommend.
- Heidi (10/5): You must stay here - Fantastic place to stay when visiting Venice. Walkable to get everywhere in the city. Elise is a superb host. Clear directions on how to get to Allilaguna Fondamente Nuovo dock and she even met us to take us to the apartment. If coming from airport no bridges crossed to get to apartment. If coming from train station, short walk with one bridge to cross. View of lagoon and ferry boats is so great. Also on sunny days can see snowy mountains in the distance - phenomenal view. Visited Venice in January, which is excellent time to go as no crowds. All you need is a warm jacket, gloves and hat. Apartment, 1 bedroom, is even better in real life than in photos. Wonderful closet space - one for me and separate for husband. Plus wood shelves in bedroom for toiletries. Clothes washer is huge plus and in January the heating radiators dry your clothes quickly. Elise has wonderful suggestions for excellent restaurants. Conareggio neighborhood is great to stay in as out of touristy area and get real feel for Venice. Walking is best way to see Venice and nothing was too far from the apartment. Venice is especially beautiful at night when days are shorter. Absolutely perfect.
- Paul (10/5): Absolute gem of a property and amazing hosts. - Elisa and Silvia were perfect hosts. They greeted us on arrival at Fondamente Nove pier and showed us to our apartment. Elisa even met us at 4.15am on our departure day to make sure we made our Alilaguna transfer to the airport. The apartment itself was fantastic. Spotlessly clean, very peaceful and well appointed. The location is perfect - away from the hustle and bustle of St Marks Square but easy walking distance to all the major attractions and handy for the airport ferry and boats to the other islands. The local area has plenty of options for bars and restaurants that were less hectic than in the more touristy arears. We will definitely return. Everything was perfect.
- Louise (10/5): It was tremendous and Elise was a fantastic! Lise was an excellent host - so helpful ! Supreme! host . was supremely hel - Everything! It is spacious, tasteful, immaculate, comfortable, beautifully appointed with lovely floors, a fabulous kitchen and stunning views. Nothing!
- Chia (10/5): Perfect stay in Venice - It’s the best I’ve stayed in Italy! The view of the apartment was amazing, the place was very clean. The location was right in front of the dock to get water boat to get to the airport (or from airport), hence there’s no need to drag luggage across all the bridges and lanes in Venice. Elisa was super helpful and greeted me on arrival. I would highly recommend this place and definitely will stay here again if I’m back in Venice None
- James (10/5): Loved our stay. Apartment was spotless & well equipped. - Excellent location. Easy walk to places of interest. Right beside stop for public boat transport.
The hostess could not have been nicer or more helpful! One (slight) criticism is that we'd have preferred a double bed in both bedrooms.
- Patricia (10/5): Really wonderful stay. Thank-you Elisa! - Location was lovely. Flat was clean and comfortable. Elisa was really helpful.
- Monica (10/5): Exceptional -
- Miroslava (10/5): Exceptional - We had an amazing stay at Casa Fondamente Nuove, it exceeded our expectations, the apartment is magnificent, and it is in a perfect location. Eliza is extremely friendly and helpful. We would highly recommend and we will be back in the future. Thank you Casa Fondamente for a memorable stay.
- Rachel (10/5): Excellent apartment, excellent host, great location. Highly recommended!! - Elisa was an excellent host - from the very first moment of booking, she was attentive, answered all of our questions and more, giving detailed information to help our arrival to be as smooth as possible. She gave suggestions of places to visit (we thoroughly recommend using the link for the rooftop terrace viewing that she will send you), and maps and a welcome guide were provided on arrival and all the information was easy to understand and really helpful. Written information in the apartment was provided in both English and French.
The apartment was immaculate, and very well organised. It had everything we needed and everything was thought of. Elisa had provided an extra bed to make the second bedroom into a twin room for my teenagers and was able to send me photos ahead of our visit so I knew what to expect. We made use of the washing machine which was an added bonus. The apartment was located very conveniently to be able to use the water taxi from the airport, to the train station, and to the nearby islands of Murano and Burano. It was situated next to a main street enabling easy walking access to places of interest. We walked to St. Mark's Square in about 20 minutes. We were able to buy self-catering food supplies from the co op supermarket which was a short walk away. The area of the apartment is nice and quiet and not too touristy - the windows are sound-proofed so you did not even notice the boats / ferries coming and going outside, although the view was amazing and made this the perfect location to sit and watch Venice life go by... Nothing - everything was perfect! This apartment will not disappoint.
- Tony (10/5): thank you sooo much Elisa for giving our family such a great experience in Venice. - Host Elisa waited for us at the dock and it was 36 C degree that day!
not only she has prepared a great detailed, easy to follow visitor binder, she also spend twenty minutes to share her family's generations of knowledge living in Venice, from culture to how to maximum our stay. nothing I can complain about.
- Angela (10/5): Exceptional - From the moment our hostess met us at the ferry terminal to the time she had helped us on to the airport ferry 5 days later everything was just perfect. The apartment is beautiful, great views , great artwork, fully equipped kitchen with everything we could possibly have needed, even spare corks for the wine bottles. The wardrobes in the bedroom were so large with so many hangers of all types. The attention to detail in this apartment is amazing. There was nothing that we did not have or need. This apartment is in a great area of Venice, waterboat ferry terminals and ticket offices were so close, restaurants of all types were in abundance in the area. We walked to St Mark's Square once and it was so crowded on that side of the island, just delighted that we chose Casa Fondamente Nuove, a special place. We can't thank our hostess, Eliza enough for all the help, We enjoyed our stay immensely. . Nothing
- Stephanie (10/5): Comfortable apartment in residential neighborhood - We loved our stay at Casa Fondamente Nouve. The apartment was spacious and comfortable. We loved the neighborhood, which felt less crowded, less touristy, and more residential than most we saw. We felt extremely safe in the neighborhood and in the apartment. The Vaporetto stop is just outside the apartment, and it was an easy walk to locations such as Piazza San Marco and Ponte Rialto. Elisa was a wonderful host. She helped us find the apartment, settle in, and made great recommendations for where to eat and how to get around. She also met us on our departure to make sure we got on the correct Vaporetto to the train station. We enjoyed the comforts of the apartment including the air conditioners (it was hot in July), the nice shower, the kitchen, and the ability to wash our clothes. We would definitely stay again!
- Doug (10/5): Perfect location away from the madness - Elisa met us at the ferry and took us to the property. A wonderful , entertaining , and very helpful, presentation on what to do in Venice! Thank you so much Elisa. The property was excellent both in terms of location and views but everything worked and the decor was wonderful. Already planning a return but for longer than 3 days. Perhaps 10 days?
- Zoe (10/5): Exceptional -
- Patricia (10/5): Thanks for the memories! - Like so many other reviewers' comments, this is an exceptional property. From the initial booking, Elisa was in contact with us. As a marvelous hostess, she met us at the water bus when we arrived (literally steps from the front door) and escorted us to the correct water bus when we left Venice. She provides maps and spent time with recommendations and explanations for every venue you can imagine. The apartment is very roomy, comfortable and modern--a smart blend of contemporary and classic. The bathroom is an impressive size for Europe. We came to love the Cannaregio area--the crowds are thinner, the pace is slower, it's quiet and we felt safe all the time. We also loved the boats and the views of the lagoon out the windows. Casa Fondamente Nuove is a wonderful choice! That we couldn't stay longer.
- Matthew (10/5): Exceptional -
- Elaine (10/5): The most perfect stay in Venice - The location must be the best in the whole of Venice! We were mesmerised by the waves right outside our window, the boats going to and fro, and the ease to walk down the little calli to anywhere we wished to see.
The beautiful apartment itself is fit for an interior magazine - so thoughtfully designed and perfectly organised for a short or long vacation.
Elisa is the ultimate Venetian host, who hugely helped our stay with tips and recommendations, and went above and beyond in meeting us as we arrived and departed.
If you are looking to stay in Venice, this is where you need to be!
Complimenti Elisa! Grazie mille.
- Pui (10/5): Wonderful to stay in Venice. - The host was absolutely efficient and prompt.
- Wen (10/5): The property is well kept and it provides all modern conveniences in addition to excellent location. - Just about everything. We were particularly impressed by the personal care provided by the hostess Elisa. She not only greeted us at the dock on our arrival but also spent 30 minutes early in the morning to make sure we could board our Alilaguna boat to the airport when we were leaving. She treated us like family!! Many thanks to you, Elisa. A pair of sun-blocking blinds in the living room would be ideal for the guest sleeping in the sofa bed.
- Ricky (9/5): Very spacious and comfortable - Spacious apartment and very tidy. Nothing
- Andra (10/5): Fabulous visit to Venice. The only thing lacking was the sun. - The apartment was comfortable and very clean and organized.
It was right by motorboat stop for Fondamente Nove.
The land lady, Elise, was exceptional. She showed the unit and how everything worked. Then she provided information about how to visit Venice! She was a world of information! Truly lovely!!!
- Laura (10/5): Fabulous vacation in authentic Venetian apartment within walking distance to any attraction! - Ely was the most wonderful host and her apartment was absolutely fantastic. She met us where the water taxi dropped us off, walked us to our apartment, gave us a tour, provided a detailed information booklet in English about the apartment features, a map of the city and recommendations for restaurants, grocery, and banks. We were so impressed by the large bedroom with the most comfortable bed. Ely had all the essentials available for us right to chilling a bottle of champagne for us prior to arrival. Venice was such a spectacular city, a must see and do for anyone exploring Europe. The apartment, our host and the city of Venice was everything we could have ever dreamed and more :) We did not want to leave!
- Jayanta (10/5): A memorable visit to Venice made possible by a gracious host with an exceptional apartment. - A nice, clean, very well stocked apartment in a not so busy part of town in Cannaregio. Enjoyed the easy access to all water taxis and to Alilaguna transportation from the Venice airport. Easy reach (15-20 mins walking) to Rialto Bridge, Piazza San Marco, etc. Plenty of good shopping and local restaurants close by. You won't miss too much of home when you are staying here !
Lastly, Elisa, the owner, was a very gracious and kind host who was always there for us to help with all of our needs, be it questions on local hang-outs and tickets to local attractions or transportation. She met us at the pier on our arrival and walked us to the pier on our departure. The place met all of our needs. No complains.
- Scott (9/5): Alisa was very helpful. She met us at the ferry so check in was easy and walked us to our departure boat. Thanks Alisa! -
- Elizabeth (10/5): Exceptional - Host very helpful friendly and informative.
- Phyllis (9/5): Elisa was very welcoming and went over things to do places to eat & how to use public transportation - Perfect location
- Lou (10/5): Perfect clean authentic apartment in the best location, with extremely kind and attentive hosts. - The Apartment was authentically Venetian, spotless inside with a fully fitted kitchen and a washing machine.
The location was quiet with a beautiful view of the Veneta Laguna, endless boats on the water with a beautiful sun rise and sunset. The islands of Murano and San Michele were also in view, just breathtaking.
It was my first time in Venice and I am a vegan. So Elisa was exceptional, giving me details of vegan cafes and restaurants for me & my friend, which were amazing.
She also met us at the boat station to take us to the apartment, and her husband kindly met us before we left to help with our luggage to catch the boat for the airport.
I loved Venice and we did walk everywhere following advice from Elisa, had plenty of drinks and lunches at various cafes down the side streets and one cafe wouldn’t let us pay for our Venetian spritz drinks only a coffee because they had a water problem which we hadn’t noticed sitting outside, so kind. Nothing
- Sandra (10/5): Beautiful apartment, extraordinary views, and excellent location! - Such a lovely property. This is my second time in Venice, and the first time I stayed on the Grand Canal and had a room with a view. It was wonderful, and I didn't think it could get any better, but I was wrong.
At Casa Fondamente Nuove, the views and location are incredible! You can look out of either of the two large windows at any given time and be rewarded with an incredible scene. During the days the boats and water taxis are running up and down the waterway (not noisy); and then in the evening, you get to witness a beautiful sunset. Through the night, it is almost surreal opening up the window and just looking into the night at the docked boats, the water, and the distant lights of San Michele and listening to, well, nothing except the water lapping.
There are quite a few wonderful cafes and restaurants along the water way with outdoor seating and delicious drinks and food. It is super safe walking in the evenings.
We walked to the apartment from Venezia Santa Lucia train station. Easy walk for me. I am 60 and carry a backpack. My friend is a bit older and had a roller bag. Going up and down the bridges crossing the canals was a bit difficult for her, so we took the water ferry back. The ferry station to the Venezia Santa Lucia Train Station is out the door and a few steps down the water way. All the other usual sites were easy for us to walk to; but you could easily hop on the water taxi if you didn't want to walk.
I would love to return and am thinking of rebooking as I type!
- June (9/5): Superb -
- Yu (10/5): Exceptional - I have nothing but good things to say about this apartment. First, it was in an awesome location. Far enough away from the tourists, but only a 10 min walk from St Mark’s Square, and only a 2 min walk from the Fondamente Nove waterbus stop-very helpful to and from airport as well as taking the waterbus to see Murano & Burano, which is a must see if you have the time. The apartment was right on the canal so you have great views as well. Amazing amazing location.
Elisa, our host, was also extremely helpful with a binder full of advise on what to eat, see, etc. She picked us up right from the ferry station to take us to our apartment and even walked us at 6am to see us off!
This apartment was extremely well equipped with AC, a coffee maker, stove, dishwasher, as well as even a washing machine! Nothing
- Stefanie (10/5): Must stay!!! - Brilliant location for the boats and being a few minutes from everything you could possibly need. Not as crowded as the busier parts of the island.
The host was incredibly helpful with maps and lists of good restaurants/bars/bakeries. I would recommend every one we tried from her list It was amazing.
Apartment was stocked with everything you could need. That we didn't have more time there.
- Jason (10/5): Great apartment! - The apartment was beautiful. It was clean and had a great view from the windows. Great location too. We took a boat from the airport and the apartment was just in front of the boat stop. Elisa met us at the stop. We'd like to thank Elisa letting us stay at her beautiful apartment. Nothing.Everything was perfect.
- Nicole (10/5): Beautiful quiet apartment - This 1st floor apartment (considered second floor by Americans) is beautiful and spacious. The kitchen has everything you need and the air conditioner works great and the beds are very comfortable. We are a family of four with two children, and we were very comfortable. The apartment is in the quiet Canneregio neighborhood and right across from the ferry. 20-30 minute walk to the San Marco and Rialto areas. The water boat to Murano is right outside the apartment, as is the line to the airport and train station. Despite the proximity to the water boat station the apartment is totally soundproof. The views from the apartment window were gorgeous.
Elisa was a lovely hostess who met us at the water boat station and provided us with very helpful information about the apartment as well as the city. We would absolutely stay here again! N/A
- Heather (9/5): Out of the crowds, on the lagoon - The location was excellent for exploring Venice without feeling like we were in the middle of the crowds. The vaporetto was very close, with a grocery and some reasonable restaurants nearby. We had a beautiful view of the lagoon and San Michele cemetery out of the windows. The apartment itself was well-furnished, comfortable, and seemed secure. The owner provided a pretty comprehensive booklet of instructions and suggestions, and was very friendly and helpful when she met us at the vaporetto stop. What didn't we like? It is hard to find much. The sofa bed was a bit saggy, so while our 10 year old seemed to be comfortable on it, adults might not have been. We had a bit of trouble operating the air conditioner, but I'd say that was mainly our fault.
- Michael (10/5): Venice perfection - One of the best accommodation experiences we have had. Elisa was extremely welcoming and helpful and has put a lot of time and love into preparing for guests. The views were beautiful and location perfect. Would only stay here if we came back. That we couldnt stay longer!
- Vadims (10/5): Exceptional -
- Robyn (10/5): Exceptional - We loved everything! Excellent communication with Elisa before arrival and lots of great information when we arrived. The apartment is located in a quieter neighborhood which we really enjoyed, and an easy walk to everything in Venice. It was one of the nicest places we stayed during our 6 week trip, and great for a short or long stay. Took a day trip to Burano island and the boat dock is steps from the apartment. I over research places to stay, and can honestly say this apartment is a great value all around - so stop looking and book it! :) Nothing
- Robert (10/5): Exceeded our expectations. - Mostly, the location. It was very close to the water taxi’s to the airport and islands. And it was just beyond the heavily populated touristy areas. It was very quiet and overlooked the water. There is nothing not to like. Photos are of the living room, kitchen/dining, and windows looking out to the water.
- Robert (10/5): Our host, Elisa, looked out for us on arrival and departure but gave us perfect privacy in between to get on and enjoy o - Beautifully located and furnished. Away from the hustle and bustle but close enough to join the throng when required with a water bus stop yards from the property - wow! Nothing!
- Shaun (10/5): We came with an open mind, and, wow!, We were overjoyed by the host's service, and professionalism. - The level of service from the host was outstanding. From tips to transport around the city, and restaurants etc, made it a very enjoyable experience. Would definitely recommend Nothing, it was fantastic
- Elisabeth (10/5): Perfect stay in a wonderful area of Venice - The location was wonderful as it is very convenient to the water taxis to the train station, airport or the islands of Murano and Burano, but also very convenient to walk to all the sites including San Marco Square. Elisa and her husband were excellent and have thought of everything to make your stay in Venice wonderful. The apartment has a view of the lagoon from the living room windows, so there is something to always see. Meticulous care was put into renovating this building from around 1761. Due to the great windows the apartment is very quiet, even though Venice isn’t very noisy anyway due to there being no vehicles or roads. Do not hesitate to stay at either the 1 or 2 bedroom apartments that are offered at Casa Fondamente. Nothing, everything was very good.
- Silverstein (10/5): Great place you will not go wrong here. Already recommended to friends - Owner met us at boat taxi. Place was 50 feet away.
Apt was large and comfy. Owner explained everything to us and had a book with map which helped to find restaurants grocery stores etc. There is nothing I didn't like.
- Sayan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sue (10/5): Thank you Elisa for sharing your beautiful apartment and making our all too short stay so enjoyable and comfortable. - Beautiful, immaculate property very well equipped. Beyond my expectations. Quiet location and exceptionally easy to find, with a lovely welcome and helpful communication from Elisa to make sure we got the most out of our stay in Venice and the apartment. There was nothing we didn’t enjoy
- Anna (10/5): beatiful property - amazing location, easily accessible, amazing antique property, extremely attentive host, everything clean and beautiful, very thoughtful I didn’t succeed at working the central heating
- Jodie (10/5): Perfect place to stay in Venice - it was a superb place to stay! It had everything we could have asked for, was very very clean and comfortable, and in a terrific location. Elisa, our host, was most welcoming and went out of her way to ensure we were comfortable. She got up early to guide us to the boat transport when we were leaving, which was helpful as high tide meant we needed another route. if we are lucky enough to return to Venice we will certainly love to stay at Casa Fondamente Nuove again. N/A
- Carole (10/5): Already planning my return trip! - This is a brilliant location and super simple to collect the keys and access the apartment. And what a fabulous apartment! Not to mention the view of the lagoon and the Dolomites in the distance! Eliza, our host, was there to greet us when we stepped off the waterbus (and ensured we got on the right one when we left!). On one particular day, when the temperature had dropped and we'd walked far too much and returned weary to the apartment, Eliza appeared with some home-baked goodies that were superb, and adjusted the heating for us which was much appreciated. Lots of little things (too numerous to mention) made this trip and this location wonderful. There is nothing - not to like. I adored everything. It just delightful.
- Krzysztof (10/5): Exceptional - A outstanding location, close to the famous places of Venice, quiet and well communicated.
The owner helped us in choosing tourist attractions and suitable means of communication.
- Dan (10/5): Great Location - The location was very convenient for the vaparetto, with the dock literally a few steps away. However, it was not noisy at all. Easy to walk to most sights. Elisa, our host met us at the dock and introduced us to Venice and gave us many good recommendations. The place is equipped with everything you might need. There wasn't anything I didn't like
- Christine (10/5): This is an excellent spacious apartment ideal for a longer stay in Venice. - The host was very friendly and helpful. The apartment is very large, with a separate bedroom and living room. It was great to have a washing machine as we were 2 weeks into our trip. The apartment is right beside the Vaporetto stop, and very handy for lovely places to eat in the evening. Nothing, it was excellent.
- Liv (10/5): perfect stay in a great apartment in a very pleasant area with the best view - This is by far the best place I stayed in Venice. our hostess is the best, the place is perfect, very nicely decorated, the kitchen perfectly equipped and with good beds and silent goodairco. We enjoy the view on the lagoon tremendously and tried all the good tips of our hostess. The direct surroundings are quiet and not too many tourists while being near everything, really the best location! nothing at all!
