Cabins in Venice

In a word: EVERYTHING. This place is amazing and as magical as the city of Venice. If you want to feel as if you are not just visiting but living in Venice, this is the place to be. Its charm is as real as it can be. You enter the building through heavy wood doors and into an open hall with superb high ceilings that ooze with antiquity and the dilapidated elegance of the city. Long sets of stairs take you to the door of the apartment, and when you cross it, you have to go down a few steps and then another door to the actual place. You open it and then another half a dozen stairs take you to the quaint lair of an artist; yes, it does feel like an actual artist used to live here. You feel the love for art in its book-covered walls, and you get infected with the respect one should feel for it. Original pieces adorn the living areas, one very big bedroom with a big window from where you can see the patios around the building, and the top of other buildings and churches at a distance. Across from this bedroom, you get another one, a dark one, with just a couple of windows straight on its very low ceiling. This looks like an attic, although it is on the same level as the rest of the apartment. The distribution of the whole apartment is peculiar and charming. A kitchen with modern appliances, including a washing machine, awaits you at the end of the living room, and a rather small bathroom (the only thing I didn't love about this, although it is perfectly functional and enough for what it is supposed to be) on the side. And on the living room, a door leads to the outside, a few wooden steps up and you have a small area in the ceiling where you can sit down and enjoy a magical sunrise with all those screaming gulls flying around and visiting you if you stay quiet enough. If anything I wrote is of your fancy, this is the place for you - if it isn't and you're looking for more luxurious or practical housing, then maybe Europe is just not for you.

Beautiful terrace with amazing view on Venice and lagoon. Large bedroom with big windows around and nice marine design.

I liked the surrounding nature and landscape, the birds, the lagoons, the garden which had numerous fruit trees.. The house was spacious and comfortable, and the personel was very generous. Thanks a lot, grazie mille!
