About this property

Historic 14th century Luxury Apartment

Historic apartment of the XIV century, recently renovated and furnished in Venetian style, with exposed beams and Murano glass chandeliers.

The apartment, called Ca 'Ai Putti (House of Cherubini ), located on the first floor in the Dorsoduro district (20 steps), can comfortably accommodate 6/8 guests, with its 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms , kitchen and large living / dining room.
All spaces have been decorated in Venetian style, the polished wooden floors make the house warm and cozy, as well as high ceilings with wooden beams and period features Venetian Gothic windows.

The fully equipped kitchen allows you to accommodate large groups. The bedrooms, each of a different color, is bright and spacious and expertly coordinated style ' Rococo '. Throughout the house you can admire the splendid chandeliers in Murano glass, which give shine and lavishness.
The two bathrooms, one with shower and washing machine and the other with the pond, there are close to two of the three bedrooms.
The apartment is decorated in Venetian style, with Murano chandeliers and colorful fabric wallpaper on the walls.

The apartment is about 300 meters from the Cà Rezzonico ferry stop. Very easy to reach both from Venice Santa Lucia train station (ferry line 1) and from Venice Marco Polo Airport (Orange Alilaguna ferry).

It is located in a quiet area of Venice, in the Dorsoduro district, in one of the most beautiful 'calle', very close to several restaurants and bars.
Dorsoduro boasts a rich presence, second only to the sestiere of San Marco, of churches, palaces and museums.

Right in the center of the sestiere we find Campo Santa Margherita, a space very popular with young university students and tourists, considered one of the most lively places in the city. It is the ideal place if you want to stop and try the "spritz", an alcoholic aperitif prepared with prosecco, aperol (bitter) and sparkling water. At night the Campo is one of the places most frequented by young people, who consider it a meeting place for the Venetian nightlife.

A walk along the Fondamenta Zattere is highly recommended, which will allow you to enjoy a very suggestive view of the Giudecca Canal. In spring-summer it becomes one of the most popular places to walk, thanks also to the rich presence along the Fondamenta of bars, ice-cream parlors and restaurants.

The Zattere and Accademia area is also considered one of the most exclusive in the city as it contains within it the rare examples of modern residential architecture.
300 meters from the Cà Rezzonico ferry stop; you can reach all points of interest (Piazza San Marco - 10 min, Rialto Bridge - 10 min, Architecture Biennale, La Fenice Theater ..).

Upon your arrival you will be greeted with a "small welcome basket" with Italian products and the booking will send you via email a guide of Venice.

mixed!

The apartment itself was luxurious – silk lined walls in the principal rooms with chandeliers and the well colour-coordinated furnishings and walls– and the kitchen and bathrooms modern and clean.so all of that was positive. And its situated on a quiet calle leading to a friendly campo with restaurants and shops and cafes and near a vaporetto stop so all that is good. But against that there were problems – these include a complete lack of any visitor welcome from the host; no checking in with us that all was OK; no local information eg shopping, chemist, etc; and we had difficulties getting the heating right. Not much of a view either except from one side of the living room. On top of all that : -a very slippery floor in the shower of one of the bathrooms which caused a nasty slip for a family member and a badly cut foot. -the promotion of the apartment on the VRBO site doesn’t say the apartment is situated over a sushi restaurant with an outdoor area immediately below the one of the bedrooms. -the stairs leading up to the apartment from the entrance are covered with plaster dust and grit falling from the damp walls -very difficult to get the keys to work on both the main entrance and the apartment doors - on our return home we received seven texts from the owner accusing us of breaking a loo-roll holder and asking us to pay for this damage – but we did not break this item We thought the apartment was somewhat overpriced

Live like a local in Venice!

Great home close enough to walk to St. Mark’s Square but far enough from the tourist crowds. Local market is just a short walk for food and other essentials. Great food, gondola rides nearby. Comfortable beds. Perfect for family and friends. I highly recommend!

The Word That Comes to Mind is Elegant!

The pictures displayed on the website for this property are accurate, however, they don’t do it justice. This apartment has elegant appointments. It is a visual representation of a time that has passed. Upon entering, it is apparent that the property is well loved and cared for. The walls have elegant coverings. The furnishings are a throwback to an earlier time and are meant to make guests comfortable. The bedrooms are spacious and accommodating. The location is central to most amusements that are desired by visitors. Restaurants and shops are a short walk from the property. Not too far away my husband found my new favorite pistachio croissant and Americano coffee! Our group truly enjoyed the property and location. The only downside, however, was the smells and noise from a restaurant located nearby. We compensated by indulging in more local wine. We were able to find our way to all sites using iPhone maps, and avoiding Google maps, which did not work well.

Fabulous apartment!

The location of the apartment is really perfect--a quiet neighborhood but very close to everything. We loved shopping at the fruit & veg boat and visiting the local cafes. Lots of great restaurants to choose from right nearby. The apartment is so elegant and beautifully restored and furnished--felt like stepping into a time machine. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms great. A perfect trip. Would happily return!

Beautiful home in a locals spot

Our family thoroughly enjoyed the location and home of Scillia’s. They were kind enough to give us lots of recommendations leading into our trip and meeting us to walk us to the apartment. The apartment is gorgeous; well appointed and within walking distance of two beautiful squares. We do wish the air conditioning was stronger during the heat wave as the rooms stayed hot for sleep. Otherwise, fantastic!

Wonderful stay!

Beautiful property in a quiet neighborhood. Approximately 20 minute walk to St Mark’s Square. Beautifully decorated with a well stocked kitchen. Air conditioning and wifi work well, although both sometimes had trouble reaching the back bedrooms. So close to vaporetto station, which was incredibly convenient. Would highly recommend this property!!!!

Beautiful home in a quiet neighborhood!

We loved staying here, away from the hustle and bustle of St. Mark’s, but still conveniently located. The apartment was beautiful and easy to get to from the vaporetto stop. It was the perfect size for our group and everything we needed was provided, so we had no reason to contact our host. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect stay in beautiful apartment

The stay at Scilla's beautiful apartment was perfect! We were met at the vaporetto stop and escorted to the apartment which was a quick walk. The apartment is stunning with its Venetian decor, high ceilings and Murano chandeliers. The location was near a piazza with plenty of restaurants and shops. It was away from the touristy part of Rialto & San Marco, but close enough to easily go for a tour. It was nice to stay away from the really busy areas. I would highly recommend staying in this apartment. Everything was absolutely perfect!!! Thank you Scilla! Ciao 🇮🇹

Perfekter Aufenthalt in Venedig

Wir haben als Familie mit 3 Teenagern drei Tage in der Wohnung verbracht. Das Apartment liegt in einem sehr ruhigen, sauberen, weniger touristischen Stadtviertel, man ist aber schnell überall. Das Wlan ist zuverlässig, wenn auch nur im vorderen Bereich des Apartments verfügbar. Die Klimaanlage funktioniert einwandfrei und kühlt das ganze Apartment, aber es gibt keine direkt in den Schlafzimmern. Wir haben es sehr genossen, abends am Zattere spazieren zu gehen (3min Fußweg) und auch dort direkt am Wasser in einem der zahlreichen Restaurants zu essen. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkehren und können die Wohnung nur empfehlen.

Venice Neighborhood Stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Scilla and family’s beautiful residence in the Dorsoduro Sestiere of Venezia. The home is even more lovely than the pictures can convey. Our family ranging from 5 years to 85 years found the stay comfortable and relaxing. We ate our dinners I and lunches out which gave us all time together enjoying both Venice and family culture. The bakeries, grocery store, cafes, and even neighborhood sundry stores were just across a bridge in the Camp S. Margherita or down the calle to Camp S. Barnaba. And the gelato at Grom was sublime. We happen to return for another visit to Bella Venezia and to stay in Scilla’s Bella home.

Sehr gute Lokation, fantastische Wohnung

Es fand eine sehr nette Begrüßung statt. Die Betreuung bereits im Vorfeld der Reise war sehr gut mit einer guten und zügigen Kommunikation, auch was die Anreisemöglichkeiten vom Flughafen betrifft. Die Wohnung, inklusive der Mödel und Betten befindet sich in einem sehr guten Zustand und ist sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Die Küche ist mit ausreichend Utensilien ausgestattet um mit 4 Personen locker über den Tag zu kommen. Die Wohnung verfügt über zwei Klimaanlagen (eine im Wohnzimmer, eine im Flur zu den zwei Schlafräumen und Bädern). In den Schlafräumen ist keine eigene Klimaanlage. Um diese abzukühlen, sind somit die Türen offen zu lassen, was somit nur einen indirekten Kühlungs-Effekt hat und somit nicht die volle Kühlleistung bringt. Bei sehr warmen Temperaturen ist dieses zu berücksichtigen. Die Lage der Wohnung ist sehr gut, nur 300m vom Vaporetto Anlegeplatz und 200m zum Campo San Barnaba entfernt, 10 Gehminuten zur Akademia Brücke, nette Restaurants in der unmittelbaren Nähe, kleine Handwerkliche Geschäfte, inklusive einer kleinen Künstler-Druckerei in der gleichen Strasse (Name: Small Caps).

Beautiful, real Venice living

The apartment captures the essence of Venice. The location is wonderful, close enough to all of the "touristy" areas but far enough so that you feel like you are living like a true Venetian. The walls are fabric and the decor is just amazing. You will have everything you need for your stay, Scilla even provided a baby bed and high chair. Communication was outstanding and she was very accommodating when our train was cancelled, delaying our arrival by a whole day. Would stay here again and would absolute recommend to my friends/family.

Wonderful unit in a fun but relatively quiet area of Venice

This property would be at the top of my list for a repeat trip to Venice. The only thing it was missing was a place to relax outdoors (which is hard to find anyway in Venice). Otherwise it was absolutely perfect. The location was ideal for many reasons: the area has everything you'd want including businesses and even an excellent grocery not far away; being across the Grand canal from tourist central meant it was protected from the throngs but was easy to walk to those areas when needed, the square within 2 blocks became a new favorite place to hang out in the evening, and it was a surprisingly reasonable walk to the train station for the traveller with lesser amounts of luggage. The unit was in extremely good condition and very well appointed. A/C was powerful. Communication with owners was easy and they were very helpful in figuring out if this size unit would work for our family.

Amazing Location

What an amazing property! We couldn't have asked for a better location...coffee, food and shopping within a block. We loved everything about the property - the location, the rooms, the air conditioning, the cleanliness, the property manager. Thank you for the complimentary prosecco in the fridge. If you are going to stay in Venice - this is place to stay. The location was not crowded and was perfect walking distance to everything we wanted to do. And, the pizza place at the front door was delicious and so much more than a pizza place. If you are going to Venice - you should stay here.

Charming, lavish, historical apartment in the heart of Venice

My husband and I stayed here with our 3 girls (17, 11, & 6). The apartment was the perfect size for our group and provided good sized bathrooms and bedrooms. Everything was decorated to the hilt in antique fashion to make our vintage stay in Venice that much more authentic...down to the coffee pot and toaster...and living room television. Yet it was very fashionably up to date and provided all of the modern day expectancies. The location was perfect. It was easy to find and Scilla went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable and content. My 6 year old daughter forgot her purse in the room (a small souvenir purchased in italy) and Scilla retrieved it from the apartment and brought it to us at the train station. We so appreciated her random act of kindness and would not accept anything in return for her trouble. We loved the location. It was a great area of town and close to groceries, fantastic restaurants, and beautiful sights. We would recommend this apartment and stay again in the future. Thank you so much for a great stay and experience!

About the host

Hosted by Scilla Chiesi

Host profile image
Hello, my name is Scilla and I would be happy to host you!
I have been managing this house of my parents since 2013 and the thing I like most is to come in contact with all the people in the world. I love traveling, seeing new places and meeting people. I would like your stay in my apartment to be the best possible and I am at your disposal for every request, suggestion and information!

Why they chose this property

Historic apartment of the XIV Century, recently renovated and furnished in Venetian style, with exposed beams and Murano glass chandeliers. Equipped with all the comforts. It is located in the Dorsoduro district, an area off the beaten track, but full of restaurants and bars. From the Cà Rezzonico ferry stop (it is about 300 meters walk from the apartment - no bridge) it is easy to reach in a few minutes all the tourist areas of Venice (Piazza San Marco, Rialto Bridge, Islands ...).

What makes this property unique

My favorite thing about this house is definitely the place where it is located. It is a quiet neighborhood, but very charming. You can find many restaurants and walking at the same time without being overwhelmed by the crowd of people. It lets you see and discover a venice a little different. Despite this, in a short time from here you can reach all major points of interest, either on foot or with the ferry boat (3 minutes). The house is in Venetian style and is treated in detail to accommodate the most people.
