We had a wonderful stay in Venice based in this apartment. Part of the attraction was the possibility to take a short let (3 nights) which worked out much cheaper and more convenient than a hotel. I hadn't expected the location to be so perfect - overlooking a canal, with a Palazzo opposite, The immediate area is quiet but there is a relaxed but lively street of bars and shops just over a couple of bridges. The owner, Giovanna could not have been more helpful . Between basic English and a smattering of Italian we got by just fine! The apartment itself is spotlessly clean , and perfect for a couple. St Marks about 15 mins away but wandering the streets to get there is fascinating. Near to a boat line from the airport too. Without hesitation, my first choice if we return to Venice.

well all we can say is just perfect, having stayed in Venice before near the Rialto decided to stay a little further out, and we were not disappointed by this wonderful loft apartment. There was everything you could need for your stay. Giovanna the host could not have been anymore informative from sending us directions before we arrived to meeting us from the vaporetto and settling us in to this beautiful and tastefully furnished apartment. the views from the windows are what you want when staying in Venice. The walk to the Rialto is about 20 minutes but there are things to do much closer with lots of bars and restaurants within minutes. I would strongly recommend this apartment to anyone wanting to stay in Venice.

I cannot imagine a better venitian place to stay than in casa aurora. The ferry stop is 2 minutes walk, the stunning Madonna dell Orto is even closer. The thing I loved the most is stepping out of the front door and being in the Venice I came to see. Cafes, bars and restaurants aplenty within a few minutes walk. The canal in front of you and a secret gem who's story has intrigued venitian as much as visitors over the centuries. Google venice camel house, or venice camel and the girl. The wifi in the casa had a good signal and good speed.
Casa Aurora accomodation is perfect. Everything i had hoped for and more. Giovanna is my Angel of Venice. She obviously takes great pride and has extreemly high standards. I will be coming back to Casa Aurora again.
What more can I say. Ciao and Apresto Giovanna.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Loft Casa Aurora. The apartment was spacious and well-equipped, and it was fun to get to know a new-to-us neighborhood in Venice. We slept better than we have in months in the cozy and comfortable bedroom! Perhaps the best thing about this rental was the delightful owner, Giovanna. She and her husband were wonderful hosts, very helpful when needed, and full of good information about Venice and the neighborhood. We highly recommend this vacation rental.

My daughter and I stayed at Loft Casa Aurora for 6 days on a recent vacation to Italy. It was the PERFECT place to stay. Hostess Giovanna welcomed us warmly, helped us with information about how to get around in Venice and what to see, and had the small touches that make an accomodation welcoming - coffee, detailed Venice map, instructions about using the vaporetto, washing machine. The apartment is quiet, outside the "touristy" area of Venice. But it is less than a 5 minute walk to many of the major sites and just a 15 minute walk to reach all of them - train station, St. Mark's Basilica, the Rialto Bridge and Grand Canal, Academia Art Museum. There are excellent restaurants in the area. The apartment was clean, functional, and decorated with simple elegance. There is absolutely nothing that could have made this a better "home port" for our Venice vacation.

Casa Aurora is a lovely apartment with a fantastic view of the canal from the lounge and bedroom window. We spent a week in the apartment and found it to be very well equipped, clean and comfortable. We had everything we needed for our stay and there are plenty of easily accessible shops nearby to stock up with food etc. We loved exploring the Cannaregio area and found all sorts of interesting little shops tucked in amongst the tiny streets. The walk to the main tourist areas is about 10- 15 minutes and it was always nice to return to Casa Aurora to rest and enjoy the sights and sounds of the local neighbourhood. We loved watching all the different boats on the canal from the workboats and water taxis to the gondolas.
Thankyou so much Giovanna for your kindness, hospitality and friendliness to us all. It was a pleasure to meet you and thanks for all your helpful advice regarding places to eat and sights to see.
We definitely recommend Casa Aurora and hope one day to return.
