We missed a parasol on the terrace a bit and an AC fan was loud, but we were in the middle of July, during the hottest days. These were not big issues though.

The apartment is just perfect. It is located in a 16th-century building on the quiet side of St. Margherita Square in the academic centre of Dorsoduro, close to restaurants, shops, and other amenities. When you open the windows, you can feel the spirit of a living Venice, although it is never too loud. It is close to the Church of Santa Maria dei Carmini, where there are beautiful bell concerts a couple of times a day — you'll miss them when you move out! It has a big, sunny terrace and, because it is close to one of the canals, there is often a breeze that makes it cooler. There is air conditioning inside. The apartment is perfectly equipped and probably the highest standard we've ever had, with details like high-quality cutlery and soap. We've found a welcome gift with small Prosecco, coffee, tea and many other helpful details. It's spotlessly clean and tastefully designed, with an antique chest of drawers in the bedroom. The owner, registered our stay to obtain an exemption from tourist fees, and he allowed us to leave our luggage there long before the check-in time. He is an extremely polite and discreet owner. We've been to Venice about 20 times, but this is the first time we consider coming back to the same place.

Fantastic place to stay, we enjoyed every moment - from the arrival when we were greeted by the host, to every morning after sleeping comfortably and having enough space to prepare for the day. Location is very convenient - close to the bus and train station, and also to all main attractions. There is a wonderful gelateria at the piazza, pizza place, restaurants and a supermarket. In the morning fresh fruits and vegetables are sold nearby. There is also a small fridge with welcoming drinks which we hugely appreciated since we arrived late. Thank you very much for a wonderful stay!

Hadn’t realised there wouldn’t be a kettle.

Very spacious and clean room. Great location next to some fabulous restaurants. Easy to walk to the main tourist attractions.

This is not an apartment but a proper hotel-style room — clean, spacious, and cozy. Exactly as described: comfortable bed, large bathroom, fast Wi-Fi, and a mini-fridge. Quiet at night; around 8 a.m. a nearby bell rings, which isn't a problem but worth noting. Very convenient location with many restaurants nearby, close to both the boat and train stations. The host is friendly and always available. A great choice if you're looking for true hotel comfort without surprises.

Tiny thing, but curtains won't block out the light in the morning, so bring your sleeping mask if an issue for you.

Spacious and clean apartment in excellent location - we loved our stay. Bed was super comfortable. Communication with Enrico easy. Great value, would definitely stay again 🙂

The apartment is really nice and clean. It's at a great location on a lively square, close to all attractions and near a vaporetto stop as well. Enrico, our host, was very communicative and welcoming. He even had cakes and bottles of sparkling water waiting for us when we arrived. The large roof terrace was a definite bonus.

Going out in the morning to get coffee but that is my preference

Our host Enrico was fantastic from giving information and waiting for us ans our plane was late and we issued our connection boat and had to wait a further 45 minutes for the next water boat making us very late . He was very patient and waited for us. The room is very large and in a great location close to the leonardo du Vinci museum and close to restaurants, coffee shop and a supermarket. We had a fantastic stay and would return.

Entrance to building -bit unfinished but looks like they are working on this.

Excellent amenities for a comfortable stay. Great location-away from most of the crowds and felt more like living here rather than being another tourist! Enrico also left nice welcome gift in refrigerator-Thank you !

Excellent location, at campo santa margarita, near to all attractions but without the overcrowding of areas such as san marco. In the evening it felt like the locals claimed back the square from the day's tourism and children played and people met in the square. Lots of good bars and restaurants with a lovely pizza restaurant 3 mins walk away, Al profeta. The apartment is immaculately clean, I usually have to wash dishes to ensure they are clean but here everything was so sparkling clean it looked like a dishwasher advert. Enrico was helpful and responded quickly and was great when we were delayed arriving. The terrace was such a plus point, great for breakfasts and other meals and incredible for Venice, to have such a big outside space. Other facilities also very good, cooker, hob, fridge and cooking equipment, bed so comfortable and big.

Orient experience was a rip off

The area was wonderful as was the apartment and Enrico our host... On our last day our flight had a late departure and he was kind enough to let us stay until later instead of waiting outside, he had no other guests arriving that day due to it being booked again the following day.... It was amazing all around and one of our best holidays ever.

AC could be better, but it’s not too bad.

The location, the good sound isolation, the cleanliness and the welcoming courtesy drinks.

The room was really nice and spacious - perfect for a few days in Venice! The square the property is on is lively but away from the crowds in San Marco Piazza. Close the main bustop to the airport. Enrico was super friendly and helpful - letting us store our bags on the property after check out as our flight was late in the evening!

Nothing, everything was great.

The host was incredibly accomodating and very nice. The room was nice and big, very clean, and in a great location. The bed was nice and comfortable and we couldn’t get over how quiet the room was with the windows closed, given its location on a main piazza. We slept really well with the air con to take the edge off the summer heat. There were a few complimentary drinks in the mini bar which was very nice. Thanks Enrico! it’s clear to see why this property is rated so highly.

I'd prefer lights that can be modulated a bit, and ideally to be able to open the shutters in the morning, but apart from these, Casa Renata was a really convenient and comfortable place to stay.

Located at the far end of Campo Santa Margherita close to Ca' Rezzonico, Accademia vaporetto stops, and a short walk from Piazzale Roma (or Venice train station), Casa Renata is really conveniently situated. The bedroom and bathroom are on the first floor of a historic building, a secure set up with double doors upstairs, and are spacious, especially the bedroom, by comparison with quite a few other budget hotels in Venice. There for work and out every day, I slept soundly in the comfortable bed and enjoyed having a decent-sized wardrobe. The bathroom has a shower and good sized shelving for toiletries and hair dryer, again a relief after staying in places for work with tiny bathrooms. The shutters really do block out the noise on the Campo, not 100% but to the extent that one can sleep. There's a big sofa and a table and chair which adds to the versatility of the room, which is plainly furnished, always my preference. The wifi worked perfectly the whole time. The owner is very helpful.

Very nice apartment with big windows and semi balconies facing old square. Big comfy bed, mini-bar with many welcome drinks and big bathroom. An owner kindly allowed to check in earlier and also check out late.

On a weekend it's quite noisy outside on a night - even with shutters and windows closed, the groups of people could be heard late into the night / early hours of the morning - if you're a light sleeper, take earplugs.

The location is brilliant, we've stayed in the area so know it well. Campo Santa Magherita is a great base in Venice, fantastic bars and restaurants on the square, supermarket as well, easy walking distance to everywhere. Apartment is really well equipped, everything you could possible need in the kitchen, lovely outside terrace with table and chairs. Shower was good. Bed was ok, a little too hard for my liking but that's personal taste. Apartment very clean, and the building it's in is lovely.
