About our home
Recently refurbished one bed flat on a canal in a characteristic area of Venice. Facilities: air-con, fully furnished kitchen, washing machine and wifi.
In Venice it can be very busy however our area is an oasis of peace in the city and all it has to offer. We live next door and enjoy giving friends the low down on the city, where to go, what to do. It is a pleasure to help you enjoy one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
Safe and quiet yet close to amenities, shops, restaurants, museums and all the landmarks.
Walking distance: 5 minutes from Ca' D'oro, 15 minutes from Rialto Bridge and 15 minutes from the station. Very convenient from the airport by boat.

Anna's reviews
As a host (26)“From the moment we arrived we were made to feel so welcome by Anna and Chris. We arrived in the evening and were met at the boat stop by them and then offered lovely food and drinks on their beautiful roof terrace as the sun set over Venice. What a way to start our holiday! The canal-level apartment is in an excellent location for all the main visitor attractions and is very well appointed. You even get the odd gondola sailing right past the windows. Part-way through the holiday we even met Anna and Chris’s lovely son, daughter-in-law and their gorgeous dog, Thor. Without exception, everyone was so generous with their time and kindness and we were given lots of tips on where to visit and what to see. Locals really do know the best tips and hints on the city! Our thanks to Anna and Chris for making our time in Venice safe and special. We hope to visit again sometime. ”
“We are very grateful to Anna and Chris for having us! They were very accommodating, helpful and treated us with great care! Their place is very well located to walk around and explore magnificent Venice! Clean, comfortable , simply great! Thank you for your hospitality! ”
“We stayed 7 nights in Anna and Chris's very comfortable self contained flat during December 2019. It is in a very central location with lovely friendly cafes nearby. It is very quiet yet close to everything. Anna and Chris were friendly and helpful hosts. We had a marvelous time. Kind Regards Peter and Andrina”
“My husband and I stayed at Anna and Chris's home in Venice for a long weekend in October. We were very happy with the communication with Anna ahead of our trip, which made our stay even more enjoyable. Anna recommended a few very good restaurants for a special occasion. The flat was conveniently located in the northern part of Venice not far from the water taxi to the airport. Anna was very thoughtful in leaving a few breakfast items, knowing that we would be arriving at a late hour. We even had an opportunity to meet our host, they are very welcoming and nice. We really appreciated their local recommendations, which helped us avoid tourists traps. We would highly recommend visiting Venice and staying at Anna and Chris's home.”
“perfect location and extremely friendly atmosphere. Ana is always ready to help and to give you all the best tips in town. marvelous”
“The apartment Of Anna and Chris was situated in a very nice area of the city. Close to a many many nice places for dinner and drinks. And although in the heart of the city, very nice and quiet in our experience. They were lovely hosts and we would definitely recommend swapping homes with them. ”
“Anna's place in Venice was most delightful and amazing! Yes, we could see occasional gondolas go by our place's window. It is in the city, but out of the tourist crowds for restful nights. Also, Anna and her husband, David, were incredible hosts. They even took us in their gondola for a ride around the city! We strongly recommend them and their home for a romantic trip to beautiful Venice. ”
“I had a real wonderful experience with the swap at Annas home in Venice! Great location and wonderful host!! I warmly recommend this lovely home”
“This was a wonderful experience, the location is fantastic, could almost reach out and touch a gandola as it passed and yet the street is so quiet you hardly see anyone, and Anna is very kind, helpful and welcoming. Meeting us off the boat and treating us to drinks and nibbles on her rooftop. Unfortunately we struck the hottest week of summer and the airconditioner didn’t cool the place at all. I’m sure if you are there any other time it will be wonderful. ”
“Anna and Chris are wonderful and generous hosts, passionate about Venice and full of suggestions of what to see, especially secret less well known places in Venice. The flat is right next to the picturesque bridge of Ponte Nova, off the quintessential Fondamenta Della Misericordia (the pretty path along the canal) where there are many restaurants away from the frenetic bustle of the busy Strada Nova near by. Cannaregio is a wonderful area to explore and catch the vaporetti along the Grand Canal, to Murano, Burano and other islands. We loved it all! thank you so much Anna and Chris!”
“What a great way to experience Venice. On the less traveled side of the island with wonderful hosts. We loved the stay and really enjoyed meeting our friendly and generous hosts. ”
“Fantastic -- both Anna and Chris and the location/apartment.”
“I had a wonderful week's stay in this apartment. Anna met me at the station and helped with my luggage, a real bonus in a town without cars. The apartment is very special, just above the canal so you can be surprised by gondolas moving past. Anna and Chris were great hosts and really helped me experience the real Venice. ”
“We had an incredible 5 day stay in Venezia at Chris and Anna's flat. They have a darling little place in the Cannaregio District where we were able to walk everywhere we needed to go and all the places we needed to see. Prior to and during our stay, Anna was amazing to communicate with and even came to the train station to meet us upon arriving in Venice to walk us back to the flat. Upon arriving at the flat, everything was clean and in order and we had everything we needed for an enjoyable 5 day stay. Whenever we had a question about anything while there, either Anna or Chris were available to assist us. I would highly recommend staying at Chris and Anna's flat to anyone looking for a relaxing and quiet stay in Venice. As we only had a short time for our first visit to Venice, we will definitely be back to stay with Chris and Anna. Grazie for an amazing time! Ciao! Teri and Ken”
“We had a wonderful stay at Anna's and Chris's appartment in the heart of Venice . Anna and Chris made us most welcome by inviting us to join them for breakfast on their lovely rooftop deck overlooking the canals and rooftops of the adjoining houses. The appartment was perfect for our stay it is fully equipped including emergency rations of tea,coffee,condiments and spices should you decide to self cater . We arrived late into Venice and Anna came and met us at the ferry stop to show us the way to our appartment .Both Anna and Chris treat you as old friends it was a pleasure meeting them both and making us feel at home. Thanks Again Anna and Chris hope we meet again. Andrew and Kerry”
“We loved our stay in Venice, Anna was wonderful she meet us from the boat and told us all the must do's in Venice and there are many!! the apartment is bijou but perfect for our needs. would highly recommend. Martin Family xx”
“Thank you Anna for taking the time to make us so welcome when you were going away yourself the following day. Anna welcomed us with coffee and cake and showed us around the area and told us the best places to go and how to get there. We enjoyed the afternoon visit with you to the old boatyard museum which we would never have found ourselves. The apartment was very comfortable, overlooking a quiet canal, but within easy reach of the main area and sites. We really enjoyed our stay thank you. Judith and Phil ”
“Anna and Chris are delightful hosts and interesting, friendly people. They live in a 3 story home adjacent to the apartment, built in the 1400's and surrounded by 3 canals! Anna arranged to meet us at the vaporetto stop when we arrived from the airport. The next morning, they invited us to their rooftop for a scenic view of the neighborhood and a "picnic." I hesitate to describe the other aspects of hospitality that they extended to us, for fear of setting expectations by future guests. The apartment met our needs and expectations, and it is especially nice to be in a Venetian neighborhood instead of in a loud, touristy area and still be conveniently located for catching the vaporetto on the Grand Canal. Thank you, Anna and Chris for making us feel at home and for your instant friendship.”
“Everything was so much better than expected! Not just the place, by the canal, with the boat under the window, but Ana and Chris, treating my family like it is their own. Thank you so so much, will never forget :)”
“Anna and Chris's Flat was so perfect for my husband and I's vacation! It was in a perfect location and was very comfortable for our stay. Anna & Chris were so great to work with and really went out of their way to make our vacation incredible! Thank you again for your hospitality- we loved your place and had such a special time! Jen & John Bocchi”
“We had a great experience in Venice thanks to Anna and her husband. They were a perfect hosts. We would go back any time. Thanks ;-)”
“We spent a week in Venice at Anna and Chris' apartment and it was an ideal place from which to explore all aspects of the city and surrounds (close enough to all the main tourist attractions, yet in the "real" Venice, quieter and more relaxed). Anna and Chris were extremely accommodating hosts, generous and welcoming (thanks again, Anna and Chris!). The apartment is compact but very well thought out and well equipped with everything necessary for all requirements and perfect for a couple. Thoroughly recommended!”
“This apartment has the perfect location in Venice. Quiet yet close to everything. There is a nicely equipped kitchen and the apartment is in great condition with a new bathroom. Anna and Chris were great hosts. Super welcoming and offered great tips for things to do in and around Venice. Much recommended! ”
“Anna and Chris were really the perfect hosts, they went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and informed us about places, museums, transport, everyday shopping, etc. The apartment itself is cute right over the canal. ”
“Fantastic apartment for two in the heart of beautiful Venice. Our hosts could not have been more helpful. We were welcomed with perfect hospitality, guidance, advice and a hot cup of tea and home made cake...perfect!!! ☺ It was a very chilly three days so it was marvellous to return to the snug warmth of the apartment having walked for miles around the city. The underfloor heating made all the difference. This was our first sortie with LHS and using points; it was a gem. We would love to do it again. ”
