Charming canal view apart few steps from San Marco Square, quiet hidden corner

Full canal view apartment in the hearth of Venice, finely furnished, quiet and comfortable.
Encased by canals and a private courtyard (magnificent Corte Zorzi) allowing access to the building, Astarte apart is absolutely quiet as it is sheltered by any possible hustle and bustle of tourists. Anyway the area is not a massive touristic path, it is an hidden corner just behind Saint_Mark’s square.
Typical “battuto veneziano” floors, ceiling beams and Murano glass chandliers, within a magnificent canal view over a secondary canal where just gondolas are allowed to navigate, bring guests in a real and agreeable venetian atmosphere.
Astarte equipment allow guests to prepare any meal for an easy self-catering.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Dirty under stocked poor communication
First we were told we would need to wait 1.5 hours with our luggage until the host could meet us. I told him we’d be there before 6p. Later I said between 2-3p. He texted that since I said before 6 he made plans and was busy until 4:30p. Check in was listed as 2p so I found this upsetting. The bathroom was filthy. The host made excuses for that saying perhaps the cleaner used it. I sent him pictures of the toilet seat and a soiled doily. There was no dishwashing liquid Or paper towels. There were no filters for a coffee maker that requires them. There was an empty shampoo container in the bathroom and empty dishwashing liquid container in the bathroom. The TV was about 18” wide if that. The floor in the main bedroom was very dusty. The main bedroom also sported a mop and other cleaning implements out in the open.The online pictures are far nicer than the apartment. The hall in the building had a foul odor. It is very close to St Marks. That was great.

Perfect Venice Apartment
This apartment was exactly as listed. The view out the windows was incredible. We loved the activity on the canal, especially watching the gondolas go by. The communication from both the property owner and the manager was excellent. The management company sent a representative to meet our water taxi from the airport. Not only did she guide us to the apartment, she also gave us tons of tips for our stay with notes and directions. We frequented the little cafe next to the courtyard for our morning croissants and cappuccinos. The location one block from San Marco was perfect!

venice stay at Property ID 424184
Property was comfortable and easy access to top visitor sites. However more info needed left as to exact location and a map would have been great, even though getting lost was an adventure!. Did not have luck with heat, internet or TV, again instruction would be helpful.

Great location and wonderful host/hostess.
We had a magical time in Venice. The place was spotless and Matilda was so helpful! She met us at the water bus stop to walk us to the apartment. She gave us a list of suggested restaurants and pointed out important locations on the map. All communication was prompt and the apartment was exactly as described.

Best location imaginable!
We loved the entire experience from communication with Roberto to the sweet gal who met us at the vaparetto stop and walked us (quickly) to the lovely apartment. We spent hours looking out the windows at the gondolas passing in the canal beneath us. And we loved the surrounding neighborhood and it’s shops and restaurants. Then it’s so close to San Marco Square and we were able to hang out there frequently or leave from there to Burano. We want to return to Venice, and will stay here when we do!

Quiet, clean and comfortable.
Very clean and well situated. As advertised. 5 minute walk to St. Mark's square. Comfortable accommodation for 4 (although there were just the 2 of us) - a nice queen size bed in one bedroom and two singles in the other bedroom. Lots of storage space. Nice that it overlooks the gondolier route. Recommend.

Fantastic apartment in the middle of everything
Our family of three LOVED our four-day stay at this apartment. The apartment is located right in the middle of the most popular part of venice, which was very convenient. The canal view was magical. The sounds of church bells, lapping water, and singing gondoliers coming in through the windows was really special and added so much atmosphere to our time in the apartment. Our daughter loved the pull-out trundle bed and made the most of her upper and lower sleeping options. We were sad to leave. I highly recommend the apartment to anyone, especially families with children.

Lovely location
This is a great apartment near the piazza . Pros - The booking process, check in / check out and all communication was easy. The beds were comfortable. The place was cool, air conditioner worked great! and the best part - hearing/seeing the gondolas outside the window was a treat! Cons - There was a bit of noise from the canal, but that goes without saying. If you want a view of the canal you should expect some noise. The wifi wasn't the best for us. Roberto tried to have it reset from the ISP but it didn't help. Maybe if we were there longer we would have done some trouble shooting, but we weren't there for the internet. Any social media posts were done elsewhere ;) I would highly recommend this apartment!

If you are planning stay in Venice, this is the place to stay, the apartment very comfortable, it will meet all your expectations, canal view and you will see the gondolas passing by, gondoliers singing, beautiful!, very easy to get in touch with the them, Matilde is a Love, she will pick you up from Rialto stop and will give you all the information you need and Roberto is always in touch with you, the location is THE BEST!, walking distance to EVERYTHING: San Marco plaza, restaurants, all kind of stores, etc., but at the same time quiet to rest, nothing negative to say.

Did not disappoint
Too many times you return somewhere and are faced with disappointment. This was not the case with this apartment. Everything was as excellent as in my previous stay and perhaps even better. I traveled with a little higher maintenance companion on this trip but between Roberto and Matilde all questions were answered promptly. Thanks you for having me for a second visit. I think there may be a third in my future.

Took a water bus from airport. Roberto had his colleague meet us at Rialto stop to direct us to the apartment. Perfect location being steps to San Marco Square. Easy walk to Rialto. Great experience.

Keep it a secret - perfect location and accommodations.
Please don't tell anyone about this location - it is absolutely perfect for a visit to Venice. It's about a block to the Saint Mark's Plaza, a short walk to the Rialto, and an easy stroll to the Academia. It's off the beaten path and isn't inundated by the tourist crowds. The apartment has all you need to cook your own meals, and the Wifi is sufficient for most needs. Best of all, your feel like a local with your own courtyard entrance and second story windows that directly overlook a canal with moderate gondola traffic. When I return to Venice, this is where I will stay. Matilde, the property manager, was so very helpful and accommodating.

Great location and great place!
Venice is wonderful, and this place puts you in the centre of the action without necessarily all the noise and crowds. Place was great, everyone was comfortable. We were very appreciative of the host going over things, but be aware that this is a managed rental with representatives. They were great. You'll be happy here, and enjoy watching the endless gondolas! Stayed with two kids and they loved it.

Perfect Location
Matilda met us at the Rialto stop and lead us to a great location in San Marco. The 2 bedroom apartment was fully equipt and had a canal view. The only thing that lacked was the poor wifi but over all a good stay in Venice. Note: close shutters in bedroom so morning water traffic noise is reduced.

Perfect location and size!
This apartment is private and quiet and the perfect location for a few nights in Venice. We were a family of 4 and stayed 2 nights. Roberto was our contact and very easy to get in touch with and accessible. Matilde met us at the water taxi stop, walked us to the apartment and showed us all we needed. She even recommended two amazing restaurants for dinner. She also came at check out and directed us to the stop to get to the train station. The apartment was clean and comfortable. There was an issue with the AC but the owner compensated us for the two nights. Just double check if AC is a must for you. Overall, a great two nights in Venice!

Great location in the center of Venice
This is a cozy little apartment right in the center of Venice. The location is perfect and only a short walk to the central square. The only negative is that the A/C is located in the central living areas and not in either of the bedrooms. Because of this, the bedrooms were a little warm, even with the doors open. However, we enjoyed the apartment and location and would stay there again.
