Waterfront vacation rentals in Santa Croce, Venice

The apartment lived up to our expectations. It was very comfortable and an easy stroll to either the #2 vaporetto at Zattere or the Accademia stop on the Grand Canal for the number 1 or 2. The best route from the bus station is to go to Zattere., because it will not be crowded and is faster and if you have luggage there are ramps to walk up on the two bridges. The entrance way, like a lot of Venetian houses, is dark and unfinished, but there is a light. The 13 stairs up to the apartment have a handrail. The kitchen is well stocked and we enjoyed our stay n this quiet part of Venice.

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.

The beautifully appointed apartment was a perfect way to experience Venice. Comfortable, spacious with an efficient kitchen for meal preparation, the apartment was a great retreat from the crowds in Venice. To be on the Grand Canal and next door to the Guggenheim was truly exceptional.

A superbly stylish and well-appointed AirBnB in a peaceful and lovely location away from the busier tourist spots. Close to the vaporetto, though, therefore easy to get to all the must-see sights of Venice. We loved the art, the Richard Sapper design pieces and the beautiful coloured gondola fragments. Very special.

Clean, well maintained, and a good amount of space for 2 people! Many interesting pieces im the apartment and you can tell attention was paid to the details. The couch and bed are comfortable. The kitchen and bathroom are clean. From pictures, we thought the glass staircase would be part of our apartment, but the steps actually lead to another airbnb upstairs. It is a shared entrance but did not cause us any issues. Would recommend this stay!

Marc and Elizabeth’s space is spacious and beautiful. The kitchen and bathrooms are tidy and well equipped, and the beds are comfortable for sure, but the inspiring design is what should compel you to book. All the details make it feel very special from the terrazzo floors, to the textiles, to the thoughtful lighting. My teenaged sons will forever remember lounging in that gorgeous living room, playing chess while Gilberto Gil and John Coltrane play softly on CD in the background. Cannaregio is a perfect place to stay — away from the most crowded areas but still accessible to everything . For reference, we were able to walk to the Maritime museum on the opposite side of Venice in 30 minutes. Elizabeth was kind and her dining recommendations were spot on.

My stay in Venice was a pure joy thanks to this fantastic apartment. The highlight is definitely the balcony - this is one of these places where time had stoped and that's where you see the greatest beauty in life. Just imagine : you're in Venice, sitting at that balcony at night, staring at the moonlight above the steers of the most beautiful cities in the world. And you get the feeling you're living in some fairy tale. The apartment is elegant and clean and so well equipped that you just don't want to leave. The host is very friendly and generous. It was an excellent experience. I highly recommend this place.

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

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!

We were greeted right away and checked in personally. We felt right at home and the process was very easy and effortless. The place was bigger than expected and can easily accommodate a whole family. It felt very cozy and the location was perfect. The view is truly amazing, seeing the canal from your bedroom window was very nice. Highly recommend going to the pizzeria/restaurant that’s just a 3 min walk from the apartment. Overall highly recommend this very romantic and cozy stay in Murano.

Well located seaside accommodation,very quiet about 40 minutes by public transport to Venice and the island of Murano. Highly recommended .

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.

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.

The apartament is spacious, we are a family of four and managed to stay and sleep comfortably. The check-in and check-out went smoothly, communication was fast and easy. The apartment was clean and functional, hosts were kind and greeted us with snacks. We had a great stay, recommended!!

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 🙏

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!
