Comfortable, homelike and completely restored - an attractive 2 bedroom/3 bathroom apartment in the solidly authentic and unspoilt neighbourhood of Santa Giustina, peacefully located between the Fondamente Nove waterfront and the Arsenale district of Castello. Sleeping four on the third floor with lift*, this haven invites you into the privileged ranks of the true Venetian resident for the duration of your holiday, well away from the tourist throngs and souvenir stalls (yet still within walking distance of St. Mark's) and set within an area offering some of Venice's most memorable sensory delights.
Situated just next door to little sister apartment Ca San Lorenzo and therefore great for a group if 6/7 if taken together, this bright and inviting apartment (which also enjoys the benefit of air-conditioning**, internet connection and a washing machine) has a heavily beamed main sitting room with study area, leading past a handy bathroom with bathtub, to a modern open-plan fully fitted kitchen/dining area with rustic beams and skylights.
There are two bedrooms, both with sloping beamed ceilings and splendid wooden floors - a spacious primary bedroom with a double bed and an ensuite bathroom with bathtub, and a cosy twin offering a glimpse across rooftops to the cypress trees of San Michele and featuring two single beds plus an ensuite bathroom with shower.
Quietly positioned in a tranquil, sleepy area shared with a barely discernable trickle of inquisitive and well-informed visitors seeking out the 'genuine' everyday Venice of gently flapping washing lines, sun-dappled courtyards and characterful neighbourhoods, this haven is within a stone's throw of the monumental Dominican Basilica di Santi Giovanni e Paolo (known as 'Zanipolo' in dialect - one of the largest churches in Venice and burial place of no fewer than 25 Venetian Doges) and on the 'right' side of town for visiting the Biennale Pavilions at Arsenale and Giardini.
Perhaps take time to absorb the Carpaccio paintings at the richly atmospheric Scuola di San Giorgio degli Schiavoni nearby (this haven is a particular favourite!) or take in the cavernous and newly restored Church of San Lorenzo (long closed but now home to Ocean Space - a collaborative platform focusing on ocean conservation and situated directly opposite the 'Questura' office of Donna Leon's fictional Commissario Guido Brunetti).
Within easy reach of a 'Punto' supermarket near San Lorenzo and the small local shops of Salizada San Francesco and Barbaria Del Tole for an easy self-catering stay, and for doing as much, or as little, as you like!

Discover a new standard for residential stays with havens bringing together the best of hospitality and home. Every reservation is backed by our signature triple-diamond Haven Guarantee, offering enhanced booking flexibility, professional 24/7 guest and emergency support, and an industry-leading Peace of Mind Guarantee.
Flexible Booking Guarantee - A New Standard for Our Industry. With havens, we are committed to offering the most flexible and guest-friendly terms in the industry for residential stays. That’s why we always extend at least a 24-hour grace period for bookings placed more than 30 days before check-in, and after that strive to provide the most flexible cancellation and modification policies that meet or exceed what local property managers are able to offer on their own.
Professional Service Guarantee - Professionally Managed from Booking Through Stay. We believe in the magic that is possible when professionals come together to create one-of-a-kind stays that combine the best of hospitality & home. That’s why every haven experience is professionally managed by a local hospitality company with boots on the ground and comes with an expert trip designer to provide personalized options tailored just for you. Every reservation also comes with a dedicated 24/7 emergency hotline operated by our in-house travel experience specialists, available during your stay and in the 72 hours prior to check-in as an extra layer of service and support.
Peace of Mind Guarantee - Here for You When it Counts. While it’s rare, we recognize that sometimes things don’t always go according to plan - especially in a category where every property is unique. That’s why we stand behind our valued clients and guests with our industry-first Peace of Mind Guarantee. If a property manager cancels your original booked reservation prior to check-in for any reason (e.g. the home was unexpectedly sold, irreparably damaged, or double-booked), we will find you an alternative accommodation of equal or better value, or else provide you with 100% of your money back.
Enjoy a 24-Hour Risk Free Guarantee for bookings placed more than 30 days prior to check-in. Refunds are offered up to 35 days before check-in subject to a 15% cancellation fee on the total value of the booking, after which the reservation becomes non-refundable outside of our Exceptional Circumstances Policy. Please note that bookings that overlap Christmas and/or New Year’s are fully non-refundable upon submission.
Please feel free to contact our concierge if you need help.
