Gorgeous Apartment in San Polo

Gabriella is a very kind generous and thoughtful host. She included so many touches that made our stay so special. Such a great location and the coffee on the doorstep was fantastic. The vaporetto is so handy which makes getting around a breeze. The apartment is so beautiful and the roof terrace is the perfect place for afternoon relaxing. A truly special find.

Perfect!

We had an incredibly enjoyable 2 week stay in Gabriella’s lovely apartment. It is situated in a quiet campo, convenient, but away from the crowds of tourists. Lots of restaurants, cafes, and wine bars are nearby as is a small supermarket. Gabriella is a fabulous host—gracious, very helpful, and always available. The apartment was extremely clean & stocked with coffee, snacks, and even a bottle of Prosecco to welcome us. If you want a real Venetian experience, I highly recommend this apartment. It’s a real find!

A delightful retreat

Very friendly and helpful pre-visit communication, a warm welcome that outdid any other we have had, and a delightful home from home that felt Venetian. There is book containing Gabriella's eating out recommendations and a good map and guide book. The altana is amazing but unshaded so came into its own early mornings & evenings. Tips - buy a vaparetto pass (50 euros for 7 days) & use the boat as much as possible to save your legs for essential walking, San Toma traghetti is a fun and convenient way to cross the canal and seems little used by tourists.

At the pulse of Venice

A cosy place in the heart of Venice. You will stay in a normal house, where Venicians life, just beside the Frari church. Everything you need is in the neighborhood: supermarkets, bars, restaurants and more. The Rialtomarket is just a 10 minutes stroll away. Our host, Gabriella, picked us up at San Tomà Vaporettostation and showed us around. Very good contact, while we stayed. Don't take your biggest suitcases - you have to climb three floors. It's an old house, so no lift available. You will be rewarded, as soon as you climb up the altana! We will come back next year!

Great apartment for a family of five

We have just returned from a great holiday with our family (three children and the two of us) The apartment is located so brilliantly so its easy to get back to and also easy to find again as its next the Frari! It seems it is situated in a less tourist filled area which means there is large good supermarket very near by which is a real bonus, especially with a family. The apartment is large so you never get on top on each other, the beds are very comfortable and the kitchen is very well equipped and clean and has so much welcomed food when we arrived. Gabriella is so friendly and when we arrived at midnight on a Friday night, she was waiting for us at the vaporetta stop with a huge smile and was so willing to explain everything. We will try and stay there again when and if we go back to Venice! Thank you so much for a great holiday.

Local living on the edge of the tourist center

Gabriella's place was perfect for our week in Venice. Returning each evening to our oasis, we felt like we were escaping the tourist crush. The space is as advertised, with a double and single bed on the main floor and a usable double bed on the floor of the low-ceilinged loft space. The bathroom was clean, though small. The shower was tight, but unlimited hot water made up for it. The kitchen had the necessities to cook in as much as we wanted. The place just feels Venitian, like an actual family could be living in it and going about their Venitian lives each day. The decor is dark wood furniture and exposed beams from the 1700s or so. We loved it. There is street noise to adjust to, pedestrian voices echoing up the alley walls and clinking glasses from the cafes below, obviously no cars or honking. Only one place stayed open late, a wine bar with civil patrons and no music. Occasionally, rowdy partiers would pass buy in the early morning hours singing or yelling. Even that was part of the charm rather than an annoyance. Book Gabriella's place without hesitation. She will take care of you.

Central Perfection...

This was a very pleasant place to stay and centrally located so my creative partner and myself could easily access all parts of the island. Once you find your way there, walking to and from Piazzale Roma is quick and easy. Because of the cold temperatures, we could only enjoy the private rooftop deck 2 out of our 7 days there, but MAN what a fabulous view...! This apartment quite literally felt like home to us and I would definitely stay there again. My only complaint (and it has nothing to do with the apartment itself) is there is a noisy bar down below that is open 6 nights a week until around 1. People can get loud. But after a couple of days, you begin to filter them out. Also, this apartment is literally right next to Basilica Santa Maria, a place I had always wanted to see. The church bells are practically right on top of you. For ME, that just added to the ambiance. On Sundays, they go off constantly. It was great to stand on the rooftop deck and listen to them singing with the church bells of other distant cathedrals. Lastly, Gabriella is such a sweetheart of a lady and a kind and thoughtful host. You will be in very good hands should you choose to rent from her...

Perfetto!

We are frequent travelers to Venice, but this was our first apartment stay, and we remain overjoyed that we chose Gabriella's charming property. The apartment, recently restored to great effect and beautifully maintained, retains its original Venetian charm while offering modern conveniences. A very special feature of this property, which sets it apart from the others: the altana (roof-top deck), whereupon we spent each early evening sipping drinks, gazing over the rooftops of Venezia. (Does it get any better than that?!) The apartment's central location in San Polo cannot be beat. All needs are easily met here: The immediate surrounding area (Campo dei Frari -- populated during the day, serene/quiet at night) includes cafes, restaurants, markets, shops; the vaporetto landing (San Toma') is a mere three-minute stroll away. We simply can't say enough about Gabriella herself. She is a gem. All correspondence to her leading up to our stay was answered promptly, completely; she met us at Campo dei Frari; toured us through the apartment, clearly explained all relevant info, and provided extra special welcoming touches (prosecco, biscotti). Useful printed apt. info is also on hand at the property, as well as thoughtful restaurant recommendations, etc. I'm sum, we HIGHLY recommend Gabriella's apartment and can't wait to return!

Absolutely wonderful stay!

We had the most fantastic 6 day visit to Venice, staying at Gabriella's beautiful apartment. I had done quite a bit of research online into properties and what won us over with this lovely place was the roof terrace and also the location. The roof terrace is just gorgeous with views over the city and it was just as I had imagined - breakfast up there in the morning and a glass of prosecco up there in the evening! The steps up to the altana are quite steep and I was a bit tentative at first but there are good handrails and by the end of it, we were skipping up there like mountain goats! The apartment itself is in a really prime location - so central with easy access to pretty much anywhere! You can walk to all the major sites very quickly and if you're making use of the vaporettas, the San Toma stop is about a 2 minute walk - very handy. We did use the vaporettas over 2 days but everywhere in Venice is accessible by foot. The apartment is very well equipped with everything you need for a really comfortable stay - it has lots of room, comfy beds, two bathrooms, very well equipped kitchen etc. There is a really good supermarket just a short walk away and we ate in a couple of nights and had some lovely meals out too. There are nice restaurants nearby and on our last two nights we discovered the wonderful Birraria La Corte in nearby Campo San Polo - the food was really, really good and the pizzas amazing! There is also a great gelato place almost next door, as well as small cafes and bars to get excellent coffee and pastries. On week days the streets below were busy with school children visiting the extremely nearby Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari (which incidentally is listed as one of Venice's Top 10 'Must Sees' in the Dorling Kindersley guide book) and students and locals going to work. The bells don't start ringing until 8am which was fine for us as we were usually up and about by then and I loved the sound of them. The area has a lovely 'lived in by locals' feel to it rather than being too touristy but is so handy for all the sites. I would most strongly recommend this property. As many other reviewers say, the lovely owner Gabriella, was the icing on the cake! She met us nearby and talked us through information for the flat and useful stuff that we might like to know. She left us a fabulous bottle of prosecco and some delicious Italian biscuits and coffee - which was a lovely touch. She's such a nice person! A wonderful stay!

Wohnen im Herzen von San Polo

Wir hatten einen wunderbaren einwöchigen Aufenthalt Anfang April in Venedig. Gabriella - die Vermieterin - ist ausgesprochen nett, umsichtig und kommunikativ. Die Wohnung ist sehr großzügig, gut ausgestattet und perfekt gelegen. Der Campo San Frari ist natürlich ein belebter Platz, aber das macht auch den Reiz des Ortes aus. Atemberaubend ist der Blick über die Dächer von dem Altana (Dachterasse). 2 Supermärkte in unmittelbarar Nähe, sehr viele Gelegenheiten, um Essen zu gehen - von Imbiss bis Gourmetrestaurant. Die Glocken der Frarikirche sind nachts ausgestellt, aber es gibt eine bei Einheimischen sehr beliebte Bar, die bis Mitternacht geöffnet hat. Am besten ist, sich bei einem Spritz oder Wein (sehr gute Auswahl) dazu zu setzen! Wer geräuschempfindlich ist, kann das Doppelbett im Dachgeschoss mit Fenster zum Hof und separatem Bad nutzen. Wir empfehlen diese Wohnung, Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis stimmt!

Sagenhaft

Schon beim Betreten des Appartements fällt die kunstvoll geschmiedete Türe auf ( die 5x geschlossen wird) und die alte Holztüre dahinter. Es zeigt, dass die Vermieterin schöne alte Dinge liebt und sie geschmackvoll einsetzt. Überall in der Wohnung findet sich alles, was man braucht, um sich sofort ganz zu Hause zu fühlen. Gabriella erklärt jedes Detail und nimmt sich viel Zeit für ihre Gäste. Beeindruckend ist die Altana auf dem Dach mit der Nähe zur Frarikirche und hoch über den Touristenströmen. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und werden sicher wiederkommen.
