Magnificent House for 12 People with Private Garden and Romantic Terrace

These are two houses on the first floor of two different buildings joined by the large common terrace which leads to the romantic private garden through a staircase. There is a magnificent veranda. There are eight beds in the large house, restored in 2009 and continuously maintained, and 6 beds in the smaller house restored in 2016. A small cottage with two beds and a bathroom is located in the garden. Both houses are air conditioned. You can get there easily from the airport by bus to Piazzale Roma or from the railway passing over the Calatrava bridge: you can walk there in a few minutes. Or by vaporetto, with line 2, going down to San Basilio and going along the foundations in front of San Sebastiano.
The center of Venice needs no description. Full of restaurants, very lively in Campo Santa Margherita until late at night. The house is an oasis of silence. In a quarter of an hour you can reach San Marco and Rialto, but in a few minutes you can take a splendid walk on the Zattere. In half an hour with the vaporetto you can also get to the Lido, where, besides the beach, there is the possibility of golf, horse riding and tennis. Two supermarkets are nearby, on the Zattere and Santa Margherita, which is very rare in Venice, and there are numerous nearby food and vegetable shops and a fish market in Campo Santa Margherita.

Great location
Plenty of room as a 3-bedroom 2bathroom property. The remaining bedroom and bathroom are separate, built into a hillside, extremely narrow, and a little dank. The location is fantastic— walking distance from most tourist attractions and no more than 10 minutes from two vaporetto stops. It was not always easy to get the owner to respond to communications.

Francisca met us and gave us an amazing overview and tour of the both areas of the property. There were 10 of us so we rented both apartments with a beautiful courtyard in between. Air conditioning was wonderful and a must. She even gave us tips of where to go for food, overview of the area and how to catch water bus and was excellent all around to answer any question. Location was in a quieter area, so that was very nice and still not far to any main attractions. it felt very safe as was in a gated area.

Amazing Location and Beautiful Accommodations
Our group of 13 loved our stay in Venice. The apartments were clean, spacious, well appointed, and in quieter area. The kids in our group absolutely loved feeding the tortoises. The apartments are near a piazza that had many dining options and a supermarket. Water taxis can pick-up/drop-off directly in front of the apartments. Check in was easy to arrange and quick. All around a wonderful experience!!

Beautiful large apartment, convenient location AND turtles!
There are 3 inter-connected living spaces in Olga's wonderful apartment, two on the first floor and one on the ground floor. The front apartment has 3 bedrooms: a double bed with en suite bathroom, a double bed room and a third room with a pair of sofa/ single beds. This apartment also has a large sitting / dining room (and a table with room for 12 to dine), a bathroom with shower, tub and toilet, and a kitchen where we did almost all of our cooking. The rear apartment has 2 bedrooms: one with a double bed and en suite bathroom, and a second which had two single beds (which could be pushed together). There is also a kitchen, living/dining room and a bathroom with shower, toilet and washer / dryer. The two apartments are connected by an outdoor seating area with tables and chairs. Beneath this (on the ground floor) is a small apartment with two beds end to end, and a bathroom with shower and toilet. This little apartment opens into the garden where live a pair of friendly tortoises who enjoy lettuce and carrots! When we stayed we were 4 couples, a pair of teen friends (down with the tortoises), and a child of one of the couples. There was plenty of room for all of us, and we also invited other friends visiting Venice to eat with us some evenings. The apartment is less than a 10 minute walk to Piazzale Roma and the train station, about 5 minutes from the San Basilio vaporetto stop (and stunning evening views from the Zattere across to Guidecca) and less than 5 minutes to Campo Santa Margherita which is very vibrant in the evenings (and where the excellent Gelateria Il Doge stays open late ). In addition to the spacious accommodation and great location, the apartment also has a secret superpower: Francesca! Francesca helped us to arrange a water taxi, met us at the apartment to let us in and show us around, and was always available to help with those little electrical and plumbing things that can be a little idiosyncratic in Venice apartments. The apartment was wonderful, and Francesca turned it up to 11!

Comfortable house for big family in fabulous location
We had a family reunion of 11, for five days at this property. The location is ideal: in a quite, residential, non-touristy neighborhood (Dorsaduro), with lots of good restaurants nearby and only a ten minute walk from Piazzale Roma (and the train station) and 20 minutes walk (or vaporetto ride) to San Marco. We were met at the place by Francesca, who speaks excellent English and gave us a thorough tour of the 2 connected apartments with garden (including turtles who the kids can feed!} Both apartments have all the appliances you could need, including a clothes washer-dryer combo in one, and a separate washer and dryer in the other. Older people might have some problems with the showers or bathtubs, and the steps to get to this second floor apartment. But we managed it all ok.

Quiet oasis in Venezia
2 families 4 adults and 6 kids 17-10 years. Visited for Carnevale 2020. Two very comfortable apartments with outdoor space. All amenities, washer/dryer, microwave, dishwasher and, two kitchens. 5 bedrooms and 4 full baths. One apartment is older with high ceilings and terrazzo floors is clean and comfortable and one apartment is newer and perfect. Great space for large groups. Perfect location away from the noise and crowds. 3 minute walk to Campo Santa Margherita and 25 minute walk to Piazza San Marco. Highly recommend. We would stay here again.

Wonderful birthday getaway
We came to Venice over Christmas to celebrate my wife's 50th birthday. Everything was wonderful, even with acqua Alta. It was nice to have a location away from San Marco, but close enough to walk easily. The property was perfect. We had 14 people (3 kids). Markets nearby.

Truly magnificent, a perfect place to stay with a large group
We stayed here in January as a group of eight. The main apartment easily accommodated five of us, and we were able to make a large dinner in the kitchen and serve the entire group in the dining room. The garden is lovely, and I want to return again in the summer, when it is warm enough to see the turtles that live there. The other apartments were also quite nice. Olga was an excellent host, and she referred us to a local guide that helped with our luggage and finding our way around. Dorsoduro is a cute neighborhood, quieter than some of the more touristy parts of Venice.

This house is amazing!
This house was fantastic for our group. We had 13 people and loved having the house and apartment linked together by the terrace. Our children enjoyed feeding the outdoor turtles and picking tomatoes from the vines there. All of the linens were of high quality and there was a lot of attention to detail. The kitchen was large and very well stocked. The dining room easily had chairs and space for all of us at dinner. Olga was great to deal with as were her helpers. The location was very close to two good grocery stores and was in a wonderful quiet neighborhood away from all of the crowds. We would happily stay here again!!

Our wonderful stay in Olga's double apartment
Our extended family thoroughly enjoyed our time in Venice staying in Olga's apartments. There were 10 of us in her 6 bedroom and 5 bathroom double apartment. The location was ideal, a quiet neighborhood with some wonderful restaurants away from tourist places. All of the supplies we needed were provided, even coffee for the two coffee pots. Every room had it's own very user-friendly AC. The little walk-way between the apartments was beautiful, with table and chairs with an umbrella, and a garden below. Cinzia, who checked us in and out, was very helpful and kind. I would highly recommend either or both of the apartments to anyone staying in Venice. We will certainly be back, hopefully for a longer stay next time.

Tranquillité assurée, bien situé et proche de tous commerces (bien appréciables)
Superbe séjour en famille pour Noël. Les appartements sont confortables ; une exception toutefois pour la chambre du rez-de-chaussée du jardin très humide à cette période de l'année. Le quartier est très agréable, et après toutes nos déambulations dans Venise, nous avions l'impression de rentrer à la maison ! très appréciable aussi de pouvoir nous réunir tous (nous étions 11) dans le grand salon et autour de la grande table. Olga est très réactive et l'accueil par Francesca très efficace et sympathique. Un grand merci à toutes les deux pour leur attention et leur cadeau de bienvenue.

Wunderbare Wohnung in toller Gegend
Wir waren für 6 Nächte mit 9 Personen von 8 bis 73 Jahren in beiden Wohnungen und allen hat es sehr gut gefallen. Die Gegend ist nicht so touristisch, trotzdem ist man schnell bei allen Sehenswürdigkeiten. Beide Wohnungen sind liebevoll eingerichtet, die Betten gut, in den Küchen fehlt es an nichts. Der Blick ins Grüne ist traumhaft und für Venedig etwas ganz Besonderes. Dazu die Veranda und der Garten mit den Schildkröten, die natürlich jeden Tag besucht wurden. Gegen die Mücken gibt es an allen Fenstern Moskitonetze. Wir waren mit allem zufrieden und deshalb traurig, als wir abreisen mussten. Wir kommen gern zurück, danke Olga, danke Francesca!

Tellement de charme
La maison est charmante, proche de tout : commerces, restaurants, bars, arrêt du Vaporetto (San Basilio). L’endroit où elle se situe est néanmoins très calme et il n’y a pas un bruit la nuit. La personne qui nous a accueillis est très sympathique et réactive. L’une des 6 chambres est petite, avec de petits lits, n’a pas de réelle intimité et peut difficilement convenir à des adultes, la chambre située dans le jardin est petite mais plus confortable tout en étant équipée de deux lits single. Chaque appartement bénéficie de sa propre entrée ce qui permet de s’organiser en fonction des habitudes de chacun, ainsi nous avions installé les lève-tôt, couche-tôt d’un côté et les lève-tard, couche-tard de l’autre. Les nombreux jeux de clés prévus permettent à tous d’être autonomes. Nous garderons aussi un excellent souvenir de la terrasse qui fait le lien entre les deux appartements, nous y avons passé de délicieux moments à nous y restaurer tout en nous racontant nos journées à Venise. Cette maison charmante a largement contribué à la réussite de notre séjour.

Appartements agréables et bien situés .
L'ensemble est composé de 2 appartements et d'une chambre séparée. La communication entre eux se fait donc par l'extérieur. Tout ceci est plein de charme, joliment décoré et bien situé dans le Dorsoduro pour la visite de Venise. Le point négatif concerne les chambres : 4 sont parfaitement adaptées à des adultes, les 2 autres sont très petites et conviennent plutôt à des enfants. En dehors de cet inconvénient, nous avons passé une excellente semaine, ensoleillée de surcroît.

Zentral gelegen und wunderbar für größere Gruppen
Wir bewohnten das gesamte Haus mit 7 Erwachsenen für 4 Tage, um Venedig zu erkunden und die Architektur Biennale zu besuchen. Die Lage des Hauses ist super in einer nicht so touristischen Gegend. Dennoch ist alles sehr gut zu Fuß zu erreichen beziehungsweise per Vaporetto. Von der Piazza Roma sind es gerade einmal 10 Minuten zu Fuß. In der Nähe gibt es zahlreiche gute Restaurants. Das Haus selbst ist ansprechend eingerichtet, die Küchen mit allem was man benötigt ausgestattet. Einziger Wehmutstropfen sind die vielen Moskitos, sobald man die Wintergarten-Tür zum Garten öffnet. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen und würden jederzeit wieder in diesem Haus wohnen.

Olga's Apartment
Olga's Appartment besteht aus einer großen Wohnung im vorderen Gebäudeteil und einer kleineren im hinteren Gebäudeteil. Beide Wohnungen sind über eine Terrasse miteinander verbunden, die bei einzelner Vermietung abgetrennt werden kann. Ein weiteres Zimmer mit Bad und kleiner Küche befindet sich unter der Terrasse im EG. Wir waren zum zweiten mal bei Olga zu Gast. Vor zwei Jahren hatten wir die größere Wohnung gemietet, diesmal beide. Die Wohnungen sind absolut geschmackvoll eingerichtet und dekoriert. Die kleinere Wohnung ist vollständig renoviert. Das Plus für uns ist die überdacht Terrasse die selbst bei Regen genutzt werden kann. Alles ist top sauber. Geschirr ist in großen Mengen vorhanden. Die Lage in Dosoduro ist perfekt. Nach wenigen Schritten ist man im belebten Studentenviertel. Wir haben uns außerordentlich wohl gefühlt. Wir werden auch zukünftig wieder bei Olga buchen.
