About this property

Spacious canal-side apartment in the heart of Venice

Ca' San Sebastiano is a south-facing 100 sq/mtrs canalside apartment on the Dorsoduro, which is one of the quietest and most sought-after areas of Venice. In a building on the corner of 2 canals, it retains it's original spacious layout from it's construction in 1910.
The apartment is 5 minutes from the delightful Zattere and 2 minutes from the lively Campo Santa Margherita. It is close to all the major sights, but away from the main tourist traps, making a stay here restful even in the busiest months. The whole interior has recently been restored. Rooms are bright and spacious and most have moulded plaster ceilings with old Murano chandeliers; floors are of travertine limestone, carrara marble or ceramic sandstone. 2 of the 3 bedrooms look out over the canal and the living room has a very large and comfortable sofabed. The apartment has a separate, well-equipped kitchen.

There are fans in each room and mosquito screens fitted on all but one window. Please note that the air conditioning is limited as indeed it is in much of Venice. If you like 'American-style' airconditioning then this apartment is not for you.

Other features/facilities include fast fibre Internet access, Apple TV box, projector for watching DVDs or connecting your device, DVD player and stereo, film library and a comprehensive selection of Venetian-themed books. There is no television. The apartment is beautifully furnished throughout with a mixture of contemporary and antique styles, including a magnificent Henri II carved walnut bed.

If this property is available - STAY HERE!
Highly Recommend Staying Here. Not only was the area quiet, the property is unique and provides the perfect Venice experience. The location is ideal - A short enough walk to popular attractions, good eats and the train station. My friends and I feel lucky to have booked this spot. We did not want to leave.

Wonderful stay in Venice
We had a lovely stay at David’s flat in Venice. It was a perfect spot for our family of 4 (my spouse and I and our 13 & 14 year olds). It’s cozy and ecclectic, and we had some wonderful evenings in the sitting room playing cards by candlelight after a full day of exploring. Communication with David was excellent, and Irene, his housekeeper was also very flexible & welcoming, and able to meet us after we arrived by water taxi. The location was excellent— easy to walk to all destinations, yet also removed from the crowds of tourists. It’s right on the canal, and in warm weather there’s a small table and chairs that you can carry out to enjoy the sunshine. We even enjoyed watching a gondolier training his children to navigate the canals. All in all a great stay!

Wonderful return to Venice in a unique property
This is a wonderful and unique property in Venice. The owner David has furnished this apartment to immerse you in the Venice experience. It is located in a very quiet neighborhood that acts as a refuge after busy days touring the lagoon and sites. It is well equipped and is exactly as it appears in the pictures. David was perfect to deal with and the place is packed with useful information. I will definitely return to this sanctuary in Venice.

Beautiful apartment, great location
Love at first sight. Delighted to see the top of the gondolier's head going past the living room window. A quiet area, easy walk to everywhere we wanted to go. Very well-equipped kitchen. A little more clothes storage would be great!
