Waterfront holiday rentals in Castello, Venice

An incredible apartment in a quiet area away from the tourist area, but accessible at the same time. It was very satisfying to stay here, it is better and more beautiful than what you see in the photos. If you come to Venice, you have to stay here! Thank you Marta for making us feel right at home.

This is a really nice place in a calmer and more “local” location of Venice. The views are fantastic of the water, canal, and a gondoliering school outside. Lots of great restaurants nearby with IMO the best views of Venice. Those who know how NJ has the best views of NYC would understand. Be careful coming back from the main island later in the evening as the Vaparettos don’t run the same routes as during the day.

What a lovely place! We had an amazing time at Elettra's place. It has an amazing view and exceeded our expectations! I'll recommend it to anyone wishing to visit Venice or Murano. Elettra was very helpful and informative. Thank you for everything.

If Diana Vreeland lived in Venice… Super classy apartment in a dreamy quiet courtyard. Giovanna met us at the vaperato stop and guided us to her sweet flat. Along the way she pointed out how to easily get around and talked about how things worked in her lovely home. We loved everything about our stay and look forward to returning. Thank you!

We had a great stay. The area is beautiful looking out onto the sea, very quiet and residential. A short walk takes you to the restaurants and cafés. The flat has everything you need and was very clean. Iryna and her sister were very welcoming, helpful and friendly. Would definitely stay here again. Thank you!

We really like the house, a designer place. All the details made with thought and it’s not a common apartment - in Venice is hard to find these kind of designer places. Gets slightly dark, less light in the house but we also liked that. Neighborhood is amazing! Far from the loud crowd yet close to walking distance everywhere.

What a joy to stay at this apartment within an ancient (16 c.) Venetian Palazzo. Simultaneously close to the hub bub of all the sites one wants to see but tucked away from the touristic noise and flow. What you do hear and see from the beautiful balcony is the ebb and flow of the veins on Venice, the gondolier calls and song, the sun tracing along ancient walls to the canal water telling you the time of day. Eclectic, tasteful and comfortable decor. Thoughtful touches added to the kitchen and bathroom for the guest. My month there was bliss, and blessed with the super responsive and thoughtful owner Cristiana. And the generous and patient " custode della casa" Claudia. I can't thank you both enough for help making my adventure so brilliant ! Palazzo Cavazza Foscari is not for anyone looking to stay in bland or generic hostelry. It is definitely for those looking for charming retreat in a magic part of Venice.

Perfect for Biennale!

I highly recommend booking Andrea’s place in Venice. It was the perfect stay, with very thorough and clear instructions checking in. It is spacious, relaxing and offers privacy. The spa was absolutely perfect for relaxing after a long day of walking and enjoying the accommodations of the city. Andrea was also very kind enough to check in through messaging and make sure we had everything we needed. You’ll be highly satisfied and definitely feel that you got your money’s worth in this location. 10/10!!!

If this flat is available for your time frame, don’t hesitate. Possibly the best place I ever rented. Excellent location, pristinely clean, Great beds. Carlo went above and beyond to show us are surrounding area and highlights. Take his advice on the bakery and restaurant. So happy we were able to experience this place. I would go back. Thanks

Beautiful view and right next to Farragona water/boat taxi. The hostess was wonderful- flexible with our check-in/out. Easy to communicate. The apartment is spacious and clean. We always felt safe. It is a more quiet area and that was just what I was hoping - peaceful and relaxing.

We have an excellent stay in this property it is in a quiet neighborhood but with very quick access to local restaurants and attractions (including the Peggy Guggenheim) and easy access to the water bus. We would love to stay here again on our next visit to Venezia.

We had a wonderful stay at Marco's house. It is very pleasant, the private garden is a very appreciable plus, the house is very well maintained, well arranged, and very clean. The neighborhood is much quieter than the more touristy neighborhoods that can be easily reached on foot or by boat. Irene, who was our contact during our stay, was very attentive to our requests and informed us each time with great responsiveness and efficiency. We really enjoyed staying in Venice in this neighborhood and in Marco's house.

The place was comfortable, the owners let us put our heavy baggage before check in. We liked the double bunked beds and the garden outside. it was very peaceful around the place. We accidentally left the keys inside the house before coming out and locked ourselves outside, luckily the owner was kind enough to help us open the door. would definitely recommend, it was a comfortable stay

Great time in Venice staying at this perfect location! Very quiet area with plenty of food options, close to all forms of transportation, and within walking distance to everything. The host was very receptive and quick responding back to any questions we had. Charming stay!

Elena’s flat is a hidden gem that captures the quiet charm of Venice—beautifully located, immaculately kept, and infused with her warm hospitality. A true home in the heart of the lagoon.

If you’re looking for a great view and a place to leave the windows open and listen to the water this is definitely it. It did get warm at night while we were there and there is no air conditioning (just mentioning in case it’s important to you, I didn’t notice it didn’t have one when booking, no fault of the host, I just didn’t read it clearly ) but there is a small fan. It’s in a more residential area so it’s a nice place to be if you are looking to get away from the crowds. It was very spacious and giocomo was a very responsive host even weeks before we checked in when I had questions about transportation.

Very nice, clean and in a very calm area, I recommend it!

Perfect Airbnb in a quiet neighborhood!

Great place to stay! Not a super touristy location but super close to the hotspots you’ll want to see!

We loved this Airbnb for our Venice trip! The location was cute and had everything we needed within waking distance without the touristy hub bub of other parts of the city. We felt welcomed by Elena and she was detailed and responsive about communication. Her lovely little guide book was very informative - great pizza recommendation! We also loved the wonderful decor - she has a great eye for decorating!

Monica and Alessandro’s place exceeded our expectations even with the great photos and amenities. One of the best rentals we have ever stayed at for a family of four. Very clean, spacious, and comfortable (+ great AC). A lovely private rooftop terrace overlooking the unique Venice cityscape. You could not ask for a better location for visiting Venice. We walked to the majority of our sightseeing destinations. Even so, a water taxi is just a few minutes away to see the rest of Venice which made for fun and easy excursions. We really appreciated Alessandro meeting us personally upon our arrival, helping to get us checked in, and explaining some of the rich history associated with the apartment that made our trip even more immersive. We also appreciated that Monica arranged our transfers from the train station when we arrived and then to the airport at departure. They were super responsive throughout our trip. Grazie per aver reso il nostro viaggio così speciale!!

A true gem! The balcony really adds a unique dimension; to be able and watch every day life in Venice was so interesting. The apartment is in easy walk of great cafes and restaurants and handy for The Vaporetto and water taxis. We travelled with my 89 year old mother and were very grateful for the flexible check in after our early flight. We ate out each meal, so easy with so many great places in easy walking distance. Amongst our favourite, for breakfast was San Giovanni Vini e Cicchetti for fabulous chichetti !

Our group of five had a fantastic stay in Venice. Pietro was very helpful with arranging water taxis for us so we were able to be dropped off right at the balcony of the Airbnb. There are great restaurants nearby and it’s easy to walk to the Rialto Bridge and St. Mark’s square. Would definitely stay here again!
