About this property

Lovely renovated apart in the most genuine Venice

On the 1st easy floor of a perfectly restored ancient Venetian building, bordered by nice and quiet canals, right edge of Saint-Mark’s area, we propose you Amaryllis, a quality featured, quiet venetian apart. Excellent gateway to visit, just 7-10 minutes walking from both Saint-Mark square and Rialto’s Bridge area (it depends on the path u choose), no Grand Canal to cross, perfectly deseved by transports (3 waterbus stops in the nearby, the closest just 1 min. walking) the area is not a massive tourism target yet and still preserves charme and sensations of times gone by. Penetrating the quiet narrow streets, the "calli", around the buinding one discovers the "Campi", characteristic small squares of Venice with their old-fashoned flavour and the small family-run restaurants which offer menus of exclusive special dishes of local tradition. It is the only and last Venetian area where old manufacturers and small local art galleries still survive. Small daily local markets selling fresh products of the region can be also found in the surroundings
Finally Amaryllis proposes a comfortable accomodation in an unique area, perfect for those who look to visit the most original Venice, avoiding the unpleasant feeling of beeing in a theme park. Arsenale’s and Giardini’s proximity (most fascinating Venetian spots and Biennale Expo main sites) is a plus.
Gondola tour pick up is just few steps away.

Amaryllis is a refined 2 bedrooms & 2 bathrooms freshly restored apart.
Perfect size for every kind of group, family, friends, couples, Amaryllis proposes high ceilings (3,30 mt) parquet floors in every ambience white framed windows and white wooden doors. Elegant features, large windows and quality lighting create extremely relaxing and bright ambiences, offering guests a pleasant, restful and quiet accomodation. Due to its particular layout (dining area is separated by the living/TV) Amaryllis can accomodate up to 6 adults in three separated rooms. All beds are comfortable single and every sleeping configuration request can be easily satisfied (two single can be firmly fixed and made on a double, and reverse).
The dining area is equipped with an elegant 6 seats tempered glass table and its proximity to the (fully equipped) kitchen allow guests to easily prepare and serve every meal. Amaryllis also proposes a nice terrace facing a pictoresque original “Campiello” (small typical Venetian square) with its typical Archway allowing access to the water (guests can directly arrive/leave by water taxi), a comfortable single entrance (just 1 flight of stairs) with private atrium used as checkroom and coat/shoes deposit and easy access from/to every Venetian terminal (direct easy access from/to airport, train station and cruise terminal).

The host was there at the Vaporetto (water bus) stop to meet us and take us to the nearby apartment. Along the way he showed us the grocery store and suggested several restaurants. The apartment is charming and located in a quiet neighborhood. It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Excellent choice!

Excellent accomodation

We highly appeciated this accomodation because of its position, out of hustle and bustle of heavily touristic areas but close to everything (10-15 min of nice walking to Saint Mark), and its still genuine surroundings, full of places to discover, and non-tourist restaurants. Comfortable to reach from/to the airport this accomodation is quiet and comfortable. Perfect in person check-in service.

The property was well suited for our needs as a family of 5 (with kids ages 8-14). My family loved the area because it was not crowded with tourists but still walking distance to the major tourist sites. We loved Andrew, the property manager, the most - he was most welcoming and helpful with directions and recommendations.

Venice

We had a wonderful stay. Place was exactly as described, clean, very spacious, with a well equipped kitchen. Hosts were very helpful! We were told what water bus to get on, what stop to get off and they met us there to walk us to the home. We wanted to be away from the busy crowded streets of San Marco area, and this place was perfect location for just that!

Andrew's apartment is spacious and comfortable, with beautiful views from the balcony, and had everything that we needed. It also has good air conditioning, which definitely helped on the hot summer days. Andrew is a friendly and kind host who goes out of his way to make it a happy stay; he met us at the water bus stop and walked us to the apartment, filling me in with details about the neighborhood, tips for restaurants, etc. along the way. And the Castelo neighborhood is just so lovely. As advertised in the description and mentioned in other reviews, the neighborhood is really pretty and chill, while still being a short walk to all of the major attractions in the city. Trust me, when you finish up with a day of sightseeing and wading through the throngs of other tourists, it is pretty heavenly to return to serene Castelo. One attraction that was surprisingly empty, much to our delight, was the beautiful Scuola Grande di San Rocco, home to magnificent Tintoretto artwork. It's a must! Thank you, Andrew -- for a great stay in this magical city.

decus par rapport aux photos, appartement tres sombre, propreté à revoir (siphons des douches bouchés avons retiré beaucoup de cheveux, cafetiere cassée et très sale,plat du micro onde avec detritus de l'ancien occupant,taches sur les couettes). Procedure d'accueil inexante, on nous a demandé des l'arrivée la taxe séjour mais pas de visite des différentes pièces, on a eu l'impression que la propriétaire était très pressée. une chambre est particulièrement très bruyante avec bruits chiens et du passage sur la rue. Sinon Venise est une très belle ville, très dépaysante, des monuments magnifiques. A voir également Murano et Burano. Emplacement de l'appartement en retrait de l'effervescence de la place st marc mais tout peut etre fait à pied.

Wonderful stay

We wanted to stay away from crowds and in a Venetian neighborhood, so this place was perfect for us. There was enough space for the two couples and we really liked having two bathrooms. Within a couple minute walk in multiple directions are cafés and restaurants that were fantastic. And there are nearby vaporetto stops if you don’t feel like walking, though getting to the Rialto bridge or San Marco piazza is only 10-15 minutes.

Andrew is a wonderful host! He arranged private water taxi service for us from the train station and met us where the boat dropped us off to walk us to the apartment. The apartment is so lovely - very clean and spacious and air conditioned which was key for the hot days! My daughter loved the couch so much she slept there every night. Bathrooms were clean and the shower in the main bathroom had good water pressure. Don’t know about the temp as we took cold showers every day because it was so hot! There was a grocery store within 5 min walk and Andrew had great restaurant recommendations. The food at the Osteria Santa Giustina was so good that we ate there 2 nights in a row and it was only a 5 min walk from the apartment. We also loved that the apartment was away from the touristy areas but only a 15-20 min walk to San Marco Square. It was fun exploring all the little streets and bridges to get to and from there. Overall a wonderful stay - would totally stay here again!

First of all Andrew is a spectacular host! He met us at the water taxi and showed us to the Vrbo! That was such a great start to our vacation in Venice! He even helped us with our luggage! The place was clean and had air conditioning which is a must in the summer months in Italy. The washrooms were clean and showers had great water pressure too. The kitchen is a little small but, adequate for holidays. Washer came in handy. No dryer but if you washed your clothes in the morning they were dry by bedtime. Only complaint are the beds are hard. We didn’t mention it either. I would definitely stay here again! Thank you so much Andrew!!

Why they chose this property

It was my wife's apart when she was a student.
We completely renovated it in late 2017, now it is excellent.
The area is considered on of the last genuine parts of Venice.

What makes this property unique

A genuine bite of Venice. Still genuine, intresting, comfortable for visiting but no massive touristic area. Extremely quiet easy (European) 1st floor apart with single private entrance. Brand new apart, minty and sophisticated features. Full new equipement. Easy access from/to every Town's terminal (direct from airport/train station). Non touristic shops (market, bakery, grocery etc..) and restaurants at short walking distance. A table can be set behind apart's balcony, in the small no exit campiello facing the water, agreable.
Amaryllis also proposes a nice balcony facing a pictoresque original “Campiello” (small Venetian square) with its typical archway allowing access to the water (guests can directly arrive/leave by water taxi), a comfortable single entrance (just 1 flight of stairs) with private atrium used as checkroom and coat/shoes deposit.
Unlike most of Venetian aparts (facing narrow pedestrian "calli" or canals) due to the front small square Amaryllis is a bright and rightly sunny accomodation, fresh during summer (fully air-conditoned) and warm during cold seasons (powerful autonomous heating). The small Calle and Campiello are no exit, so no passage, no noise, bright daylight and extreme quietness. We are sure u will appreciate this genuine and rare bite of Venice.
