About this apartment rental

“If you read a lot, nothing is as great as you’ve imagined. Venice is—Venice is better.”
~ Fran Lebowitz

After a long day of exploring in Venice, imagine what a pleasure it will be to return home to your own apartment in Castello, La Serenissima’s most authentic neighborhood. You’ll get a taste of the real Venice while enjoying a can’t-miss location. Our comfortable apartment provides the perfect home base for exploring the city, and a welcome respite from the crowds. It’s well stocked with everything you need for a relaxing holiday.

Our quiet, light-filled apartment has a comfortable and efficient floor plan. The apartment is about 50 square meters/540 square feet. The spacious “matrimoniale” bedroom features a romantic canopy bed, a desk, and lots of storage for your clothes. There’s a small room that can be used as an office or a small single bedroom. Please note that this second bedroom is quite small and has lower ceilings in part of the room. See the floor plan to better understand the dimensions.

The apartment is one building back from the Riva dei Sette Martiri, a wide, sunny walkway that runs along the waterfront all the way to St. Mark’s Square, just 10 minutes from your door, but a world away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist track. It's a short, picturesque walk to Venice’s major sights, as well as some of the city’s lesser-known charms, and close to both the Arsenale and Giardini vaporetto stops.

The airy open kitchen and living room area are perfect for relaxing with a glass of wine while your dinner simmers on the stove. The kitchen has good pans and knives, a four-burner stove, refrigerator and freezer, microwave, and a dishwasher. Everything you need to prepare meals is at hand, once you're done shopping for fresh fish and produce, either at the famous Rialto market or the local markets on nearby Via Garibaldi, where you'll find all the local shops and services you need. There is one bathroom with a shower over the tub.

There's no elevator to this top-floor flat, but your reward for climbing the 58 steps is lovely views and fresh breezes.

We do have wifi.

Please note that we have a four-night minimum stay requirement and we do not make exceptions.

Bright apartment in a wonderful neighborhood away from the crowds, but close to restaurants, cafes, groceries, pharmacy, 2 vaporetto stations and the Alilaguna for easy transfers to the airport. Check-in was easy, the host's communication was clear and accurate, and she was responsive to questions throughout our stay.

We had a great time stay at the Dream of Venice.Location was ideal as it was close enough to the Main Sights but far enough away to be peaceful. Restaurants were very good. Linda was very thoughtful with her book of instructions on everything. Would highly recommend it Even the 58 steps you get use to it.Rhonda and Gary from Canada

Linda is incredibly communative. Check in and check out was easy. The apartment's location is perfect, the Via Garibaldi is steps away and proximity to multiple vaparetto stops makes travel easy. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone.

My wife and I spent a week in this beautiful apartment. A truly lovely place and a perfect location. The Castello area is non-touristy and quiet; a typical Venetian neighborhood. An easy walk from the Giardini vaporetto stop. The apt. is exactly like the pictures on the website. (Don't be intimidated by the 58 steps)! It was spacious, spotlessly clean, comfortable, with many lovely touches. There are views of the water from the bedroom, dining room table, and loft. The kitchen was fully equipped. The washing machine was easy to use. The outside clothesline was welcomed. The living room was comfortable. The lighting in living room, dining/kitchen, bedrooms was great. The large bedroom had huge closets, writing desk, bedside lamps, and a very comfortable queen-plus size bed. Setting up our laptop was easy. The neighborhood is quiet during the day and at night. Via Garibaldi (around the corner or down the narrow alley) has restaurants; bakeries; fresh fruit & veggie vendors; cheese, fish & meat shops; the vino sfuso store [buy bulk wines in your containers at incredibly low prices!]; post office; and a beautiful park (easy to get to the vaporetto stop without going over any bridges); ATMs almost next door - each worked with our ATM card (though it will help to know a little Italian). Working with Linda, the owner, was an absolute pleasure. She responded quickly to every email. Her information packet was complete. The information binder in the apt. is comprehensive in every way possible. Linda really knows this apt. backwards and forwards. She was able to address a small problem we had with the water heater with a quick, superbly detailed response that instantly addressed the issue. Linda's restaurant recommendations were right on! Take time to get lost in Venice - it is the best way to see this magical city! Get off the tourist track and explore. Definitely buy tickets for the Doge's Palace and the Clock Tower tours. Get vaporetto tickets ahead of time (on-line purchasing is easy & getting your tickets in Venice is easy). Go to the Rialto fish, vegetable & fruit markets, marvel at the variety and buy some. Eat at restaurants that aren't on the main tourist routes. Visit Murano. See the art in the churches. Visit San Marco's basilica. Go to San Giorgio Maggiore and take the elevator up the bell tower - there is no line and the views are great. Go to the Jewish Ghetto; take the tour from the museum. Stroll at night. This apartment and Venice = La Serenissima!
