Guest Reviews

• Karen (10/5): Great communication with host who found us on the street. We loved Ca’Formosa for truly great location and provided ever - Very large 2bd/2bath (separate showers) apartment with canal views in a great central location
• Yangmi (7/5): 좋은 위치에 있지만 친절함과 침대 upgrade가 필요함 - 베니스 중앙, 운하 옆에 있음 히터가 잘 들어오지 않아 Paolo 에게 연락을 했는데 “heating is central” 이라고 대답 함, 그 날이 부활절 전 날이라 작동은 되지 않지만 그냥 지냈어요 나중에 보니 방마다 히터가 따로 있고 remote control 이 있는데 옷 장안에 있는 걸 찾아 하루 지나서 히터를 켰음. 아직 4월 초라 쌀쌀하고 밤에 추웠음. 직원은 도움이 필요할 때 전혀 도와 줄 의사가 없을 뿐 더러 숙소에 대해 잘 알지도 못하고 불친절 함. 처음부터 6명으로 예약했는데 거실 침대 메트레스가 얇은 스폰지라 너무 불편했어요. 침구도 오래되고 청결해 보이 지 않음
• Claire (8/5): Great stay in Venice - Excellent location. Friendly check in. Great communication prior to arrival. Very large apartment which is spotlessly clean. Very noisy in the early hours due to being located where the boats collect the rubbish so we were woken each day at 5:30am
• Claudia (9/5): Schöne Wohnung in Superlage - Die Lage und die großzügige Wohnung. Ausstattung auch gut. Nur müsste mal die Kaffeemaschine entkalkt werden. 1,5 Std bis der Kaffee durch ist. Ansonsten alles gut. Ich würde die Wohnung jederzeit wieder buchen. Nur als Hinweis: Die Wegbeschreibung sollte bearbeitet werden. Der Hinweis auf das Geschäft RATTA an der Ecke zuŕ Calle delle Bande stimmt nicht mehr. Den Laden gibt es nicht mehr. Und es wäre schön, wenn es eine Möglichkeit der Gepäcklagerung im Haus gäbe. Die nächste öffentliche Gepäckstation ist recht weit weg und schwer zu finden. Mit Koffer über mehrere Brücken und Treppen.
• Stefania (8/5): -
• Marianne (10/5): It was perfect - thank you! - The location is perfect - coffee bar for breakfast in front of the house, restaurants on the piazza and the small streets, bakery, butcher, supermarket, all within 50 meters. The flat is spatious, comfortable, well equipped, beautiful view and nice host- it was the perfect holidays!
• Jesus María (10/5): Inmejorable - La ubicación es perfecta. A menos de diez minutos caminando de San Marcos y Rialto, en una de las plazas más bonitas y animadas de la ciudad. Vista al canal y a la Iglesia Santa María Formosa. A dos minutos un supermercado. Restaurantes, bares y tiendas muy cercanos. La casa es muy luminosa, todas las estancias (a excepción de los baños) son exteriores. Una cuestión muy positiva es que tenga dos baños completos. La cocina equipada para poder cocinar en casa. La climatización perfecta, en este caso calefacción (fuimos en marzo), pero tiene aparatos de aire acondicionado para el verano. Por decir algo, la señal de WIFI llega débil a la habitación del fondo. Con un amplificador de señal en esa zona se solucionaría. Para nosotros no era problema porque teníamos datos, pero puede serlo para alguien que venga de fuera de la UE.
• Patricia (10/5): Excepcional! - Todo
• MIGUEL ALEXANDER (9/5): - Muy grande y cómodo! El anfitrión muy atento
• Robert (10/5): would stay again - location above canal plenty of restaurants and gelato nearby basilica and doge palace easy walking distance comfortable beds very large for four persons with two bathrooms garbage boat on most mornings outside that was loud but adjusted to this quickly it would not stop me from staying here
• Catherine (10/5): Bellissimo soggiorno al centro di Venezia in un bel apartamento molto grande e confortevole. - Mi è piaciuto la posizione centrale dell'apartamento e anche la grande dimensione. Era molto bello avere due bagni a un comodo salotto dove rilassarci. Paolo era molto gentile e disponibile. tutto era bellissimo
• Fabiola (10/5): Fantastisch verblijf ik zou hier zeker terug gaan - Dichtbij San Marco heel centraal gelegen. Mooi aan een piazza gelegen naast het kanaal met gondelplaats. Heel mooi uitzicht. Mooie kamers goed bedden. Voorzien van alle faciliteiten. Eerste verdieping. Goed opgevangen. Helemaal niets
• Radovan (10/5): Navštívili jsme s přáteli v době karnevalu, díky poloze vše blízko. O ubytování a poskytovateli lze hovořit pouze v pozi - Lokalita, perfektní služby a pohodová domluva
• Nora (10/5): -
• Sorin (10/5): - Locația, apartamentul spațios, călduros, priveliștea superba, aveai toate facilitățile inclusiv masina de spălat vase, tot ce tine de cazare a fost superb, de locație nu mai zic ca se afla la cativa pași de piață S. Marco Nu mi-a plăcut ca te trezesc bărcile de dimineata
• Jamie (10/5): We had a great time in Venice, would highly recommend the property - the property was in an excellent location. Paolo was great and helped us out organising taxi for our departure nothing, all was good
• ANA MARIA (10/5): Excepcional - Me gustó todo. El piso está muy muy céntrico. A pocos minutos de la plaza San Marcos. Es muy grande, las camas son comodísimas y tenía de todo. Está en un primer piso. No tiene ascensor, por si hay alguien que lo necesita, pero si no, no hay mayor problema. Paolo muy pendiente de nuestra llegada y pudimos entrar antes de la hora del checking Nada
• Kathleen (10/5): Amazing location, lovely views, excellent communication, clean comfortable and spacious - The apartment is even nicer in person than on the photos. It is in an excellent location for exploring Venice. Very close to the Rialto Bridge and Saint Marks Square, Doges Palace etc. It was well equipped spacious and clean. A washing machine and drying facilities. The directions that you receive are very good in advising what water taxi etc to take once you arrive and how to walk to the apartment, however the little lanes etc can be a little hard to navigate and we got a bit lost, but our host was very helpful and after a quick call to him via WhatsApp he came to meet us and escorted us to the apartment. Communication is excellent as is the level of the hosts English. The only down side is the fact that the boat that collects the towns rubbish stops right outside the apartment. It arrives at 6am every day and is quite noisy so you are woken by it. It is obviously NOT the fault of the host or the apartment and you may wish to rise early anyway to explore all Venice has to offer, but if you want to sleep in this may be a little bothersome.
• mahdiyeh (10/5): -
• Valerie (10/5): Pour bien débuter l’année. - Emplacement top , proche des principaux monuments et « attractions » Le bruit du bateau poubelle qui stationnait malheureusement juste sous les fenêtres tôt le matin .
• Angela (8/5): Buena estancia - La amplitud y la ubicación. Amabilidad de Paolo Limpieza adecuada,pero no en algunos detalles. Agua de la ducha no se mantiene caliente
• Remedios (9/5): Excelente alojamiento - La ubicación y la amplitud. Todo genial. Dos detalles mejorables que desmerece el alojamiento era la colcha y cojines de la cama grande, muy pasada y con grandes manchas, da muy mala impresión y el sofá ya algo hundido.
• Christoph (10/5): -
• juan pablo (8/5): - La ubicación
• dimitris (10/5): - Our stay was great. The apartment was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The view was beautiful and the location very convenient. The heating worked perfectly and made the place feel warm and welcoming. My mother loved it and we would happily stay again.
• MYRIAM (9/5): Fabuleux - La propreté et la taille du logement L'emplacement fabuleux La facilité d'accès du propriétaire RAS
• CAsercion (9/5): Great location and property. Would stay again. - Great location with canal view. Property was larger than expected. A little hard to find because Google maps is not accurate with location. Good communication with host who met us at the property and walked us thru everything before handing over keys. Location is a bit noisy due to trash collection right outside the windows at 6am. However, we knew about this in advance due to others' reviews so we used earplugs and wasn't bothered by it. Cold at night but plenty of blankets to keep warm.
• Michael (9/5): -
• Virginia (7/5): - el vaporeto de la basura justo aparcaba debajo de las ventanas de la habitación de 6 a 9 de la mañana y hacia mucho ruido
• Phil (10/5): We had a wonderful stay in Venice in a beautiful apartment close to everything we needed - A beautiful property with excellent amenities, and a perfect location. We would highly recommend this property.
• paola (10/5): -
• Daniel (9/5): Perfect stay in Venice - One of the best apartments I have stayed in. Very comfortable and well equipped. Beautiful view of the canal and piazza opposite. Nothing. Only note is that the rubbish collection is right outside the apartment, a bit of noise between 7-9am Did not bother us.
• Jo (8/5): Huge comfortable apartment in the heart of Venice - Enormous comfy and clean two bed, two bathroom apartment equidistant from the Rialto and St Mark’s square. Excellent value and fabulous location. Highly recommended. The property itself was great, no problem there. However, there was some very noisy construction work going on in the canal by the building very early in the morning on two days before we left.
• Angelos (10/5): Best location! - The location was amazing. Walking distance to San Marco, Rialto, San Polo, Dorsoduro, Academia and literally everywhere. It was even close to the ferry to Murano and Burano! We just walked out of the apartment, turned left on the little bridge (ponte), and we hired a gondola! The gondola station was just in front of our windows! We couldn't ask for more! The apartment was very spacious, and clean. Nice decoration. The bathrooms are lacking some hangers for towels, but that is a small detail. Near to a super market, restaurants, bakeries and the best gelato in Venice, Gallonetto! Definitely we would return again and again to this great apartment! A la prossima!
• Amanda (10/5): We loved our stay in Venice and would highly recommend this appartment. - Property was perfectly situated for sight seeing and restaurants. It was incredibly spacious and comfortable- our host was fantastic.
• Koldobika (10/5): -
• Bregtje (10/5): Goed gefaciliteerd appartement op een perfecte locatie - Ruim en op een toplocatie! Druk verkeer op het kanaal, dus daar wel wat overlast van in de avond en vroeg in de ochtend.
• Fabien (10/5): appartement confortable dans un lieu magique - Malgré nos difficultés pour atteindre le lieu de rendez-vous avec nos bagages, l'hôte nous a patiemment attendu et nous a accueilli gentiment. Etant quatre nous avons aussi beaucoup apprécié les deux salles de bains
• Nicola (9/5): A very central location and well maintained property - Lovely well maintained property. Lots of facilities with it. The location is amazing to everything. Beds were very comfortable. The host is very friendly and welcoming. These old buildings only have single glazed windows, so im afraid you will hear the canal boat people and passers by. It is a very central place so you will hear people. I had to use ear plugs to sleep. Still loved this place mind to be clear
• Dávid Tibor (10/5): -
• Lyndee (10/5): We loved the location next to the square and canals. - Location, Spacious Construction near by
• Granadina Mar (10/5): Precioso alojamiento con ubicación perfecta. - El alojamiento tiene todo lo necesario para estar confortable. Muy importante para mí, sábanas y toallas blancas y limpias, camas y almohadas cómodas, salón-comedor amplio y dos baños completos. Ubicación muy buena, barrio con mucha vida ,tiene de todo, incluso un supermercado al lado. A 10 minutos andando de la parada de Rialto y también a la plaza de San Marcos. Por último Paolo fue muy amable en la recepción. Nada.
• Rwik (10/5): Exceptional - In between San Marco and Rialto. Everything is close by. Great canal view from every window. You see the Spiderman location from the living room window. Also, two full bathrooms. Great for groups of four or more. Bathrooms could be better. Somewhat dated.
• Lori (9/5): Wonderful location. Very spacious. - Great location. Lots of space. Loved having a washing machine nothing that I can think of
• Teresa (8/5): Very good - Location, ample space
• Van (10/5): Great place, great location - Excellent location, allowed us to walk around for a few hours and come back to the apartment for snacks or lounging before going back out again
• Bhavesh (8/5): Property is good but just had some electrical issues in our stays. - Excellent location. Canal view is right out from window from all rooms. It is just during our stay or something else but unit keeps getting tripped and we complain. We were told that will take time to fix it and during our stay unit kept tripping and we actually gave up as we had to sleep without ac and even all our food got spoil as no electricity to fridge. It may be just coincidence that this happened during our stay.
• Zacklynn (9/5): Superb -
• Catherine (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful location, well equipped apartment with everything we needed The bin collection boat outside the apartment every morning at 8am a little noisy
• Yvonne (10/5): Fantastic stay, loved Venice and Ca Formosa made it more enjoyable - The apartment is large and airy, with lovely canal views from every window. The two bathrooms and two large bedrooms fitted our needs perfectly. It was in a great location making it easy to get to all the tourist sites there were many restaurants in the local area and a supermarket close by. It can be a bit noisy from waste collection boat early morning. But it didn’t really bother us.
• Ma (9/5): Almost close to perfection! Venice is beautiful. - Close to everything. Authentic Venice feels near the canals. Everything is walkable Close to shops where there is fun in the finds. Mario was very accomodating. He arranged for out private water taxi as atroved late The washing machine wasnt working But i liked that the heaters helped a lot with drying our clothes Pricey!!!
• Ihor (10/5): Exceptional -
• Mary (8/5): Very good -
• Dena (10/5): Great apartment to explore Venice. - Location and size of apartment.
• Lynne (10/5): Exceptional -
• James (9/5): Superb - Large, comfortable and well supplied apartment with two bathrooms, a washing machine and dryer. Great location between the Rialto and St Mark's. We highly recommend it. The directions to the apartment need updating and simplified.
• Ann (9/5): Superb - Paolo was very helpful with meeting us as we were a bit early. He showed us the apartment and explained how things worked. Overall, this is a great apartment in Venice. Fantastic restaurants nearby (even in the same street). Definitely would stay again. Our stay was very good - clean and comfortable. Only two minor suggestions for improvement. 1. Wifi doesn't reach main bedroom. 2. New hairdryer is needed as it only blows cool air!
• Peter (10/5): The accommodation was perfect and Venice is a unique city to enjoy. - The location was perfect for us. The apartment was spotless, very comfortable with everything we needed. N/A
• Cindy (10/5): Wonderful stay in Venice, highly recommended! - The location was wonderful! And the 2 bedroom/2 bath layout was great for traveling with a toddler. We cooked several meals and the kitchen was well equipped. Cafes and shopping very close. It was perfect!
• Jorge (6/5): I will not stay here again - The apartment is big, with a well appointed kitchen, working washer, dryer and dishwasher. Bedrooms are spacious and beds are comfortable. It's 5-7 minute walk to Rialto and St Mark's Cathedral. Supermarket and restaurants nearby. Rooms are quite separate for privacy with good bathrooms Arrival experience was terrible. We arrived in a rain storm. Paolo told us to take vaporetto to Rialto and follow Google Maps. We were soaked, I couldn't even see my phone in the rain, and it was losing GPS or freezing constantly. !5 minutes later Paolo told us we were lost. He reluctantly agreed to meet us 100 ft from the Rialto stop. We were 4 seniors, including 2 ladies, carrying 5 suitcases in the pouring rain, wet, tired and hungry. He didn't offer any help, just watched as we struggled going up and down bridges, and one flight of stairs up to the apartment. As final insult we paid a €48 city tax with a €50 bill and didn't give us the change. I've been to Italy several times and never seen such lack and empathy and hospitality in a host. On a different topic, the internet signal barely reaches only one bedroom.
• Debbie (9/5): Fantastic location and great value. If you want canal views this is it! - Awesome location, easy to find and lots of room in the apartment. It was awesome to overlook the canal and the gelato shop around the corner was to die for! The couch definitely has its own personality and is a little tired. It’s the only real issue in the whole place.
• Vita (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was just perfect. It is the most amazing apartment from all i stayed. My children didnt want to leave. Location is ideal. View from window is fantastic. Foto is view from the kichen.
• Damian (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect location. Plenty of space and great communication. Beautiful apartment with wonderful view of the canal, church and square opposite. Absolutely loved this place.
• Joan (10/5): Perfect location..huge and clean apartment..Love this apartment - I didn’t expect how huge is the whole apartment, the rooms are huge, 2bathrooms with has bathtub and walk-in shower on one bathroom and the other one has just a walk-in shower which is very handy for us. WiFi has good speed. There’s a kitchen but we didn’t manage to use and cook,shops and restaurants are just in the corner to buy food or eat in..my girls love the Gelato ice cream place around the corner. There are grocery shops nearby too within 3-5minutes walk.I love looking at the windows watching the Gondolas and boat taxis passing by or everyone taking pictures by the small bridge. Very clean apartment and area. no mosquitoes noted.Air conditions are working well.it was the hottest days in Venice I think when we were there. Very near to Rialto bridge and San Marco. Can easily contact Paolo who will meet you in the apartment on your first day who will give the keys and instructions..the place is a well secured apartment.got a lot to more but all I can say .I love so much our stay in Venice and on this apartment..😍 will love to stay here again if we come back to Venice.. None really!! the engine noise from the canal by boat taxis, private boats,bin collectors, sounds of the Gondoliers..will wake us up...but we don’t mind them and got use to it..it was our alarm to get up, have a cup of tea and enjoyed watching them passing by and get ready to explore Venice again..
• Wendy (8/5): Great apartment - very spacious - Great location and walkable to all the main attractions. Apartment spotlessly clean. A/C works very well ! Noisy in the morning with rubish boat and delivery’s - but all up early so not a problem for us
• Diana (9/5): Superb -
• Morede (10/5): Great apt - Great place to discover Venise. The apt was very clean and very well located. We really appreciated the communication with the host. Everything was smooth. I really recommend this apt if you come to Venizia. . We will come again for sure.
• Jennifer (10/5): A lovely apartment in a wonderful location in Venice. - The location was perfect. You are close to all the sights but not in the tour route!! Great restaurants and grocery store is super close!
• Ketie (10/5): Super appartement 😍 this photo is a view from one of the windows - Everything was perfect
• Scott (9/5): Superb - Wonderful location, and very spacious Not the most comfortable beds but typical for Italy.
• Michael (10/5): Exceptional -
• Richard (10/5): Exceptional - We was actually charged for the late arrival, it wasnt on booking.com’s website, the owner said because the website didnt allow him to put on it.
• Cynthia (10/5): We were comfortable, felt safe, loved the convenience, looking forward to returning. - The location! Very close to anything we wanted to see, and close to transport to other things. My only complaint, and very mild, was the internet was spotty. But I was on vacation so I enjoyed that!
• Brenda (10/5): Exceptional - Very spacious and had everything we needed! Loved the view!
• Peter (8/5): Very good -
• Georgiana (10/5): Exceptional - great location. the apartment was amazing. very clean and spacious, equipped with everything you could need.
• Gerald (10/5): Exceptional - It was a very spacious and comfortable apartment with full amenities. It was in a great position walking distance to the Rialto Bridge and St Marks Square. Overlooking a canal and a beautiful square.
• Mary (10/5): This apartment was wonderful, and made our stay in Venice even more terrific. - Very clean and very well equipped, with a washer and dryer right in the apartment. The building was wonderful, with a view over the canal and of the church across the square. Very close to Piazza San Marco, and with a grocery store and many great restaurants nearby.
• Ria (6/5): Pleasant stay at Venice - The space inside the house, the location and Marco, our host, was very helpful with recommendations. The apartment was not clean and the bed lenin was dirty and uncomfortable.
• Catherine (10/5): A relaxing spatious apartment - This is a light, spacious and warm (we visited in winter) apartment that is well equipped and a great place to stay. Although there are stairs it is one flight and easy to walk up. Watching the boats come and go in the canal was fascinating and seeing people come and go in the square opposite. We would happily stay again.
• Christopher (9/5): Superb -
• Dennis (9/5): It was a great pleasure to be in this apartment, so close to one of our favorite campi in Venice. - The location is superb, with a direct view of the beautiful campo Santa Maria Formosa and its adjacent rio. Very close to excellent, local food shopping. Spacious, comfortable rooms. The quite small kitchen is workable; and pots and pans are more than adequate. But there is very little space for food preparation. One more surface of some kind, for chopping and slicing, would help a lot.
• Rajesh (8/5): Very good - Very good, centrally located - spacious & comfortable rooms
• Diane (9/5): Superb -
• James (8/5): Position perfect! - Great position overlooking a canal, in a lovely square. One of the quieter ones so not too busy, but plenty to watch from the windows! Also, plenty big enough for 6 of us!
• Jared (9/5): Superb - Amazing location! I couldn’t of been happier where we were. Host was great and attentive. View was great having the canal right under our window and hearing the gondolas go by. Another huge plus is that this was on floor 1 (up one set of stairs, 0 is the ground). So many other properties I looked at were on the top floor and many with no elevators. 4 flights up and down, no thank you. So we are a family of 6. There are 2 rooms that each hold 2 people and a living room with a pull out couch for the final 2 people. Our only gripe was that the mattress was super thin and my kids could feel every bar and spring under the mattress on the sofa. I laid down on it and it was bad. I say it’s an amazing place and a no brained for a family of 4, but above that it would be a no for me. If I was an owner after reading this I’d buy a mattress topper/foam roll at a minimum to put on the sofa when in use. Like I said, for a family of 4 I’d rent it again in a heart beat.
• Jane (9/5): Loved it - Location is excellent within easy walking distance. Flat is on the first floor. Two bathrooms and two good sized bedrooms. Very comfortable with many windows making the flat bright and cheery. The Venetian dustbin collection a tad noisy early in the morning but understandable!
• Christopher (10/5): This was a super spot for us, right in the middle of the action and our favourite area of Venice. - great location. able to walk to all main sites due to central position. bars and restaurants just outside front door english instructions for washing machine
• Jonathon (10/5): Beautiful views from a well appointed apartment, in one of the most beautiful areas of Venice. - We really enjoyed this beautiful apartment situated on the wonderful Campo Santa Maria Formosa. This has always been one of our favorite areas in Venice, so much so that a picture we took of the canal in front of the apartment is the cover of our photo album from our first trip to Venice.This was my 5th trip to Venice, and this apartment was very much a part of our best experience visiting yet. Great communication with the host, we called on arriving in Piazzale Roma, and Paolo was there to meet us and explain everything we needed to know for our stay, along with a couple of restaurant recommendations. We appreciated the quick communication when we had a question for the host during our stay. The apartment is equipped with everything you need for either a short or long stay, and is very conveniently located, maybe a 7 or 8 minute walk to St Marks or the Rialto on easy to follow routes. I'd recommend using the vaporetto to Rialto, or the waterbus to Ospedale, but it's also possible to be dropped off directly at the apartment from a water taxi. Have a glass of wine looking out the window as gondola's glide by, and watch the colors change to a pink hue on Chiesa di Santa Maria's campanile as patrons sip coffee or drinks at the Zanzibar bar looking out over the Mondo Novo canal crossed by picturesque Ponte's. Only thing I could recommend would be a map of the city. It's not necessary, but a nice thing to have. Several guidebooks were available to look at, as well as some nice coffee table books describing the city.
• Gabriel (9/5): Superb - Air Con should be renewed
