Waterfront vacation rentals in Porto Santa Margherita

Host offered instructions for what’s app connection from airport via water taxi & Giacomo received us & took us to place from just around San Marco piazza - beautiful house & great shared balcony to watch gondola go by

Giordano is the definition of a SUPER HOST! Our transportation was delayed and arrived almost 2 hours late. Although, he does not live in Rovinj, he patiently waited for us outside. We arrived at night, so this was comforting to us. Giordano helped us bring the suitcases up and went over all the instructions very clearly. We were welcomed with a bottle of wine! The place was even better than described. Spectacular view and very well equipped, including a washing machine. Also, very clean. Location was perfect! NOTE: You have to go up about 4 flights of narrow stairs. For elderly people or people with physical challenges, the stairs may be a bit much.

Claudia’s place looked exactly like the photos. It is clean, and fun to be right on the canal—We had fun waving to the boats passing by from the windows. I stayed with my 6YO daughter who now wants to live in Claudia’s apt because she loved it so much. 😊 it was the perfect space for us. I appreciates the quiet location so we could sleep well. Claudia responded very quickly to every question and request that I had. It made our trip so much easier because I had her information very quickly. I highly recommend staying in her place and look forward to a future visit.

Vanja’s place is such a gem! Situated on a quiet street with a gorgeous view of Rovinj by the shimmering sea. Yet walkable which we enjoyed. The apartment is modern inside with all the comforts we need. The free parking really allowed us to enjoy. Vanja’s always responsive and easy to communicate whenever we need help. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this Rovinj gem!

This is the second time my best friend and I have rented this stunning apartment because we love it so much! You are 5 minutes from Piazza San Marco and 10 from Rialto yet it is quiet which makes it the perfect respite from crowds! The apartment is thoroughly modern; it’s as if you’re living inside an editorial spread in Architectural Digest magazine! Note it has three staircases to climb, which was never a problem for us but might be harder on those with mobility issues. The sleek bathroom is spotless with both a soaking tub and luxe shower. A modern washing machine on-site is a great convenience. Internet is lightning-fast. Both bedrooms are spacious with elevated linens and glamorous light fixtures. We left only this morning and have already started planning our next dream visit! The lovely host feels like a friend and takes special care to ensure your every comfort! If it’s available for your dates, book it immediately! As a travel writer this is the best place I’ve ever stayed!

Such a fantastic apartment and beautiful spot that this was a return trip. Olivier the owner - and his friend Alessanrdro who met us for check-in, were wonderful hosts. The corner apartment, with aspect onto the canal and to the Arsenale square is simply hard to beat. Impeccably renovated and a pure delight to relax in when taking a break from walking the streets of Venice. Thank you for sharing this little slice of heaven with us.

Lovely place, well furnished and drcorated Brilliant host, supportive and helpful Would highly recommend

12/10 recommend Ilaria’s home! She was fabulous to work with and her apartment was in the most amazing location! Apartment is very spacious, and Ilaria goes the extra mile by providing incredible amenities (coffee, snacks, champagne, hygiene items, etc). She also provides a comprehensive booklet on the area with her personal recommendations. Based off her suggestion we are at 1000 Gourmet and loved it so much we went back a second time! She also arranged water taxis for our arrival and departure. Upstairs has a secure baby gate at top and bottom of stairs so our toddler was safe in her two-story unit. Will absolutely stay with her again!!

Maria & Carlo were amazing hosts! They made it super easy to check in, as they took the time to meet us and made sure we knew our way around Venice! They also gave great restaurant recommendations and responded back quickly whenever we had questions about things to do or how to get around. We will definitely stay here again if we make it back to Venice in the future!

Only positive things about Jasmin. He was helpful and friendly and is flexible, which are the most important things for his work. Rovinj was magical as always.

An apartment with a lovely garden in a quiet area. Several vaporetto stops are within 10 minutes. You can reach everything within 20 minutes.

It’s a beautiful house in Murano and super convenient to get around. We had everything we wanted and especially loved the kitchen. Our kid was super happy with the garden and lot of space to play :) the hosts were always responsive with whatever questions we had. Highly recommended.

Gorgeous little house just outside Umag. Two minutes stroll to the sea and a couple of restaurants/beach bars. The house comes with an SUP and two bikes which was great. We drove into Umag most evenings for dinner where there are loads of restaurants, we particularly liked the ones along the sea front. We also drove to Rovinj which is beautiful and Porec. We felt Umag was nicely off the beaten track, away from other busy places in August.

Everything was wonderful! Location is away from the tourist crowds, my family enjoyed walking everywhere…apartment was perfect. Little room for improvement would be better towels and more toilet paper and facial tissue. I’d love to stay again when I go back to Venice!

Apartment is super nice. Host is very helpful. Would rent again.

When our original flat was cancelled at the last minute we were so relieved that Nena and Elena were able to give us a later check-in and accommodate us. They were both in touch on our day of arrival and we felt very reassured - great hosts. The house was lovely, lots of space, very quiet at night and we slept so well. Thank you

Chiara was a joy from start to finish. Lots of helpful messages even before our trip. Then really flexible and helpful when we arrived. Made our start in Venice so relaxing. The apartment is beautiful and clean and right in the middle of the City. We can’t of asked for more on our stay. Grazie Chiara….

We had a wonderful stay in this spacious and bright apartment, with amazing views. Fully equipped, it offers all the comforts you need. The host, very responsive, was able to do everything to make our stay perfect. In addition, the location is ideal: close to a stop that allows you to drop off directly by boat from Venice's Marco Polo airport.

Mirko was a wonderful host. We already felt totally comfortable upon arrival. The apartment was super clean, nicely sized and just perfectly located, ideal for our vacation. Mirkos warmth was especially great: He always responded quickly to messages and regularly inquired if everything was okay. We had a really nice time and would come back immediately. An absolute recommendation with a lot of gratitude.

Even BIGGER & BETTER than the photos.. This place feels like a giant art gallery, decorated so beautifully with an unforgettable view. I felt very safe, warm & comfortable here. This is the place you must book if you want authentic charm & to feel like a royal princess. Pedro was extremely helpful & clear with instructions & directions to the place, then I was greeted by Caterina upon arrival. She was also kind enough to take me to a gorgeous local bar on the canal for a drink, then proceeded to show me around Venice a little more & gave me lots of tips as well as places to go. Everything is walkable, the area feels safe even at night. Pack light as there are lots of stairs! Not just at the air BnB but all over Venice in general. There is so much to do close by, with great options for coffee, treats, shopping & food - I really enjoyed my stay, I wish it could’ve been longer than 2 nights but I will absolutely be back for much longer next time. Thank you 🙏

Markus' apartment is very well cared for in every detail The location is great and quiet suitable for any guest We had a great time without any issues Highly recommend

Wonderful location in Cannareggio, directly on a canal. Everything you need is within easy walking distance. Do buy a vaporetto pass for your stay. We tried one of the host/suggested restaurants and it was wonderful! We went several times to Vino Vera for Cichhetti, and it was wonderful. Aside from being in a place which in and of itself is art, head to the Peggy Guggenheim collection for an enthralling experience with Dali, Jackson Pollock, Picasso, Magritte, Klee and many other mind boggingly beautiful paintings. We had an absolutely wonderful time at Ca’ Camello in Venezia! Prego!

What a perfect location for a first trip to Venice. Monica arranged our private water taxi to meet us at the train station, as well as take us to the airport. As first time visitors, that assistance was so appreciated and valuable. Fernando was onsite to help us get settled and to see us off at the dock. Location wise - what a truly magical location. Out of the front door is the Gritti Palace (where we enjoyed cocktails overlooking the Grand Canal). We easily walked everywhere. The rooftop deck was a perfect place to relax mid day. There are several recommendations available for restaurants (we went to several and enjoyed all meals). There’s a lovely bar for coffee and croissants very close. Everything was just easy, magical, and helped to make our trip so special.

Great experience from start to finish! Loved staying away from the crowds, peaceful neighborhoods. Have a boat terrace made some of our tour pick up a breeze! Would highly recommend of staying in Venice! Pietro was also so helpful in arranging taxis for us, made everything so simple!
