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).
Ask the Owner for a complete and detailed brochure with pisc description plan and map positioning for a full overlook.

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.

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 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!

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.

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!!

We had an incredible stay here. It was only a five minute walk to the vaporetto stop and grocery store, and removed just enough to not feel overwhelmed by tourists and crowds. There was plenty of space for all six of us to spread out and it was a very comfortable stay!

The location was fantastic as we were within easy walking distance of the sights but also quiet at night. Our host, Andrew, provided timely communication in advance of our trip, met us at our water taxi drop-off, and even provided much needed communication with a courier when our luggage was lost.

Clean and large apartment in the real Venice!
The apartment was actually bigger than we realized upon arrival - bonus points. The owner was very accessible and the on the ground support was awesome! It was a 15 minute walk for us (once we figured out the way) to San Marco. There was a grocery store nearby and tons of great food (including gelato) options within 5 minute walk. What amazed us the most - was how quiet it was. We all slept soundly and the comfy beds helped. We would definitely stay there again!

Great accomodations in a real part of Venice.
If you don't mind a 15- minute stroll through real Venice with a chance to see locals taking their kids to school, walking their dogs, popping into the local church for mass, meeting friends for coffee, etc., you should strongly consider this apartment. First of all the owner is great to work with, and Andrew, who is the point of contact from your arrival, could not have more helpful or delightful. Then there is the apartment: it's a winner! Access is down one of Venice's quintessential narrow alleyways. It leads to a small courtyard that appears little-changed in hundreds of years and opens onto a canal. Open the front door and you are in a small vestibule. A storage cabinet holds rubber boots for the rare flood. The other element there is the short run of stairs up to the main floor. On the left is a dining area with a small but fully-functional kitchen with stove, oven, microwave, refrigerator/freezer, dishwasher, and washing machine. The pantry came supplied with oil and seasonings. Back the other direction in the entry hallway are two bathrooms. Each is newly remodeled and clean with modern fixtures (sink, watercloset, bidet, and shower). One also has a towel warmer. The apartment was supplied with a boundless number of towels. The smaller of two bedrooms is sufficiently large for the bed and other furnishings (side table, chest-of-drawers, chair and radiator). Likewise, the larger bedroom was fully fitted out with bedside tables,a wardrobe, shelving, a chair, a single bed in addition to the king-sized one. It also offered a view of the courtyard. Finally, the apartment is made complete with a den. There is a large and comfortable sofa, several chairs, a small desk, a bookcase loaded with travel information, and a side table with a tv (local and Italian channels only). There is also a small balcony overlooking the courtyard. Wifi is good, temperatures were well-kept in comfortable range, and the supply of hot water was sufficient during our stay for our demands. There is a grocery store less than 2 10 minutes away and Andrew provides a list of recommended restaurants. We sampled from that list and we're very happy we did! In summary, we would not hesitate to stay again here in the future!

Perfect for our family
This apartment is in a quiet area, great for our family of a 2-year-old with her parents & grandparents. Everything we wanted to see and do was within walking distance, and we had great guidance from our host, including being met at the water bus stop and accompanied to the apartment, as well as great advice for touring the island. They also set up a crib for our granddaughter, which we greatly appreciated. The only complaint we had was about the mosquitos, which are probably a problem everywhere. They would sneak in during the evening and lie in wait on the ceilings and walls until we were sleeping. We were able to mitigate the problem somewhat by shutting the windows in the evening and killing as many as we could before bedtime. Another hint to travelers: the buses coming from the airport area are slow and noisy; we decided we would check out the water taxis the next time we come.

Quiet location away from tourists yet accessible to main attractions and markets. Restaurants in area were wonderful. Apartment roomy and bathrooms were very clean. Andrew even provided a bottle of Italian bubbly to celebrate. Mr. Andrew was very responsive to all our questions, even in the evening, when we had a question on getting to the train station. Happy with choice for 1st time in Venice.

Andrew was wonderful. Very accommodating. We arrived earlier than anticipated and Andrew met us so that we could drop off our luggage. We enjoyed a stroll around Venice while he ensured the apartment was ready. The space is exceptional. Lots of room, beds were comfortable and apartment was clean. The location is super. A grocery store is only a 10 min walk from the apartment and it had everything we needed. A quaint 15 minute walk and you are in St. Mark's Square. Our family had a wonderful time. Thanks Andrew and Andrew for making Venice so memorable!

This property was exactly as described in the pictures. Andrew was welcoming, and provided us with many good suggestions for restaurants and activities. This property is quiet and far from tourists, but conveniently located from the Alilaguna water taxi (great when you are lugging suitcases) and co-op grocery store. The beds were comfortable. The two full washrooms were modern and clean. The air conditioning was SOOO welcoming at the end of a hot day of sight-seeing. Our family of two adults and three teenagers were very comfortable. Thank you Andrew for being so welcoming! We would recommend your place to anyone. :-)

This property was located in an authentic neighborhood that was a wonderful escape from the crowds of tourists nearer to Rialto or San Marco.

Lots of good things (bathrooms nice, WIFI works good, 15 minute walk to St. Marks) Water bus drops you a good 15 minute walk (with suitcases). Over a couple bridges (steps) so it was pretty exhausting for 4 people over 60, then it was up the stairs. But Anthony was very helpful, cheerful, and patient. Water taxi to the airport will cost 130E. Clothes wash is a bit different and will be a challenge for most Americans. Air works good but none are in the bedrooms so you have to sleep with the doors open. A simple fix would be a fan for each room. Balcony is too small to actually sit down (chairs are a bit suspect). No English on TV. When you come back from a full day it would be nice to just chill with a little news in English.

Cons: and not really cons just small touches to improve- shower needs shelf for shampoo, etc; bathroom needs hooks for towels, bathrobe, etc; terrace is standing room only; kitchen and one bedroom very dark; kitchen has very inadequate light; towels could be upgraded.

Great Location!
This was our first visit to Italy and our first time in Venice. We got lost as we tried to navigate through the maze that is Venice. Andrew, our host was patient, and once we found him, he was very pleasant to meet. He showed us to our house, and told us that it was located in the REAL Venice. What he meant is that is is close to everything that will attract tourists, but away from them enough to see how the locals live. Our house was quiet, comfortable beds, two very nice bathrooms, big windows, well equipped kitchen. It was good to go to the market and shop for food and cook and meet the local vendors, as well as see everything else. Andrew also gave us great tips on what to avoid and when and what to actually see. Very good experience after all! I do recommend staying here for the host and the location.

Lovely apartment in a nice quiet area about 10 mins from St Marc’s Square
Two sparkling new bathrooms. Plenty of lovely towels. Nice sunny lounge overlooking a pretty courtyard. Everything you need in the kitchen and dining room. Lovely Andrew met us at the ferry and guided us to the apartment. Main bedroom is large, but the second bedroom is a bit small for a double. Had to squeeze past the end of the bed to get to the other side. We enjoyed the apartment and our time in Venice.

Wonderful
This accommodation provided us with a great stay. The apart is excellent (quiet, new furnitures, good bathrooms, comfortable beds, fully equipped), its balcony faces an incredibly genuine venetian corner, we really loved its not be found authenticity. Its location is also excellent: as reported it is a quiet and still genuine district at walking distance from everywhere (10 min for the Saint-Mark, 5 min for the Arsenale, 1 min from the closest waterbus stop). No drawbacks then, just benefits ( quiet, full of local commerces small restaurants and else) and the pleasant feeling to savor a special bite of Venice.
