• Choosing a Venice holiday rental

    • For centuries Venice, Italy has been associated with romance and even today it is the most popular Italian destination for couples. Indeed what could be more romantic then to blissfully glide down the picturesque canals with your loved one, on a gondola? Having said this, a holiday in Venice is sure to enchant everyone, and every year we organise Venice apartments for thousands of intrepid families!

      The name Venice came from the Veneti’s who lived here in the 10th century (before Christ) and is referred to as "The Floating City" and "City of canals". Indeed Venice stretches across 117 tiny islands along the Adriatic Sea and has over 400 bridges.

      the Castello area for your holiday apartment in Venice

      Castello is the largest district in Venice and full of magnificent attractions like the Church of Santi Giovanni e Paolo and The Church of San Zaccaria. Castello was one of the earliest parts of Venice to be settled into and today a great place for families and couples to rent an apartment for its proximity to San Marco. The Venice Biennial, one of the world’s most renowned contemporary art exhibition, takes place here.

      An apartment in Venice Cannaregio area

      This is the second largest sestiere and probably the most quiet and residential. There’s an array of well-priced restaurants here and when you are eating out remember to try the Castradina, a famous local dish consisting of Lamb and Cabbage. The Venezianam (Veal liver) is also not to be missed.

      Choose your Venice apartment in San Marco

      San Marco is the so-called epicentre of Venice and probably the most popular location to rent an apartment in Venice. The size and grandeur of this piazza is something to see to be believed in. There are some fantastic bars (think the famous Harry’s Bar in Venice) and restaurants here. San Marco is also the main transport link for excursions to the islands of Giudecca and Murano.

  • Some Venice Apartment Reviews

    • Choosing a Venice self-catering rental over a hotel means to be guaranteed to have the freedom to do as you wish. You will have access to cooking facilities and extra space which is why for Venice family travel this is often the preferred option. Then there's the location of your Venice apartment: hotels cannot be built in many top stops of the city but you will always find an apartment that can be rented short-term.
      San Polo Courtyard Had a great stay in this Venice apartment. Very good location, close enough to the famous sights (10 minute walk to Rialto) but in a quieter residential area. Everything in the rental as described and the apartment was clean and in order. The owner was friendly and helpful, with suggestion for things to do in the area. Would recommend to anyone looking to stay just out of the way of the busier tourist areas.
