A jewel in the heart of Venice, elegant, fully renovated in 2013

Luxury apartment on two levels, centrally located and optimally served: entrance hall, 3 bedrooms . 3 bathrooms, lounge/bedroom kitchen / dining room. Conditioning, WiFi and audio broadcasting in every room.
LOCATION: Enjoy Venice from a strategic location: you will be in a quiet calle easily reachable from the railway station/bus terminal. At the same time most places of interest in Venice are at a walking distance. The apartment, at the top of an ancient Ventian building, has been completely renovated and equipped with quality furniture in 2014.
FEATURES: Form the main door at ground level, you have to climb a steep Venetian flight of 23 steps, to reach a large, finely decorated, stylishly furnished apartment that can host up to 8 people. It is arranged on two floors: the Goose Home (main apartment at second floor for with entrance hall, 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, living room and kichen/dining room) and the Goose Nest (mansard suite with ensuite bathroom and walk in wardrobe). The house is fully equipped: AC and heating in all rooms, washing machine, drying machine, iron and ironing board, hair dryer, microwave, toaster, dishwasher, free internet WiFi connection and Smart TV, baby bed (to confirm upon booking), sheets and towels for you all.
IDEAL LOCATION IN THE CORE OF VENICE: Rialto, San Marco square, the Ghetto,, the Casinò close at hand, the Accademia, i Frari and all the museums at less than half an hour walk. At 7 minutes walk you'll find the pier for the vaporetto boat to Murano and Burano. The apt. is easily reached from Piazzale Roma (bus terminal) or Railway Station by a 20 minutes walk or 15 minutes bus boat trip, or from the Marco Polo airport by the direct Alilaguna boat service (40 minutes + 7 minutes walk) or by speedboat taxi (20 minutes).
FOOD & SHOPS: A large supermarket open 7 days a week 8.00 to 20.00 and plenty of shops and good restaurants are close by. Moreover, crossing the Canal Grande with the traghetto-gondola (€2) in less than 5 minutes you will be in the big Rialto market: the truly Venetian big fresh fish market (but also vegetable and fruits)
CHECK IN: We keep the 10 am 3 pm time interval for the cleaning. So, incoming guests are granted luggage drop off starting from 10. am. if you arrive after 3 pm you will self check in using a code box
CHECK OUT: free the apt by10 am. You may leave your luggage in a video surveilled storage area downstairs and you will recover it as you please at later time using the code box

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

CAN WE CHECK IN EARLIER THAN 15.00?

Our standard check in time at Ca' de l'Oca is 15.00, but
it is possible to drop off your luggage from 10 am:
This is necessary to do the cleaning and linen change after previous guests check out at 10. am

CAN WE CHECK OUT LATER THAN 10. am?

Late check out is possible only if we do not have new guests, otherwise we start cleaning up in the morning and you have to check out by 10.. But you can leave your luggage in our video surveilled storage area as long as you like (the housekeeper will be in the apartment cleaning and doing the laundry until mid afternoon, so your belongings will be absolutely safe).

Very cool place in a great location
The apartment is so cute and well located and the host is fantastic. We enjoyed our stay immensely. The stairs getting in are steep and plentiful but a great way to walk off the pasta limoncellos - as long as you haven’t had to many!

Perfect Location
Perfectly located near everything. The residence was lovely. Very spacious. There was 6 of us with plenty of room. Easy Check in and out. Only thing i would address is air conditioning in the loft. It was always very warm but the temperatures outside were brutally hot. Venice was lovely and so was this host! I would stay again. Thank you!

Perfect place to stay in Venice
Great location and easy to get to. Close to the Rialto bridge and many resturants. The best Gelato in Venice just steps away. I would definitely stay here again. The apartment was a great layout for our 4adults 2kids. Everyone had space and having 3 bathrooms was awesome. The check in could not have been easier with all the helpful videos to help you get familiar with the apartment. If i could give 10 stars I would.

Perfect retreat to rest from adventures
We loved our stay at the Home of the Goose. The location is perfect and close enough to be near shopping and restaurants but also in a quiet alley where you can rest and recouperate after a day of adventures. Check in was easy and communication with the host smooth. We got there early and were able to leave our luggage in a safe, locked area while we explored the town. Apartment was very clean and furnished with all that we needed. We loved the sound system. Beds were comfortable. The only issue we had was there were no instructions on how to use the washer/dryer. We couldn't figure out the dryer so ended up hanging our clothes out to dry. We would recommend this apartment to anyone thinking of staying in Venice.

Location was absolutely perfect. Apartment was large and looked like the pictures. Although we enjoyed our stay, the apartment was not well maintained. Furniture was worn and there was smell of mildew. I am sure it is hard in Venice, but we did not smell it anywhere else in the City.

Spring Break trip over Palm Sunday
The goose house was perfect for our family- it was my husband and myself, our two boys (13 and 11), and my sister in law. We all had our own space which was great for just arriving from DC and all getting different amounts of sleep on the plane. The house is well appointed and in a great neighborhood- you are very close to a lot of activity but it does not feel like it because you are off an alley. Several good restaurants are close by and there is also a convenient grocery. We arrived from the airport no problem and left by train and it was all very straightforward thanks to Stefano’s directions. Very lovely space- we will book again if ever in Venice.

First trip to Venice and the apartment is a jewel
Unique experience enjoyed our 4 day stay. The apartment was perfect for our family of five. Location was great and a relaxing walk to all major sites. Stefano was a wonderful host his communications were the best as well as his instructions. We checked ourselves in and a few minutes later Natalia arrived to assure everything was in order. She was wonderful and very helpful. The apartment was a great base and we felt at home. You can tell Stefano really cares about his guests experience.

Traveled with family
The host was a crook, or scam artist, very rude and insisted we pay extra charges in cash. Vrbo should be notified about this guy, Stefano became verbally abusive because we dared to use a fresh towel every day!!!! He said we had agreement to use just one towel We Never agreed to that. He asked for more money 160.00 euros in cash three of us counted it and all came up with the same count and he said we cheated him 60 euros. We did not! he used a third party to pick up the cash ( his house cleaner) he said because we left so many towels we left A mess . We were very disappointed in his behavior.

Spacious and Comfortable
This was by far the largest of our accommodations while in Italy. The home was clean and comfortable and perfectly located. As we were two couples staying in the home, it was very appreciated to have a comfortable living room with Netflix to relax in after a long day sightseeking. The home’s music was also relaxing to have throughout the home. We experienced the water going to very cold throughout our shower but completely understand that this is normal for Venice as is the steep stairs when you enter the home. Neither were an inconvenience to us. I recommend this very comfortable home.

First class apartment in the heart of Venice.
My family was very happy and comfortable in the Home of the Goose for our 3 night visit in Venice. Stefano has a beautiful and culturally rich apartment that he spares no detail in making his guests feel like home. We arrived after a long journey to the relaxing sounds of classical music playing on the audio system. His notes and videos about how to work all the appliances are impeccable and there are plenty of included travel guides and tips for making the most of your visit to this magical city. Stefano is very responsive to messages and was thoughtful enough to check that we had arrived and had what we needed. It was perfect that we could store our luggage between checkout time and our departure time from Venice. When in Venice, I will only stay at the Goose Home.
