Nearby, in the lively Via Garibaldi, with its restaurants shops and bars, you will become part of the real Venetian life.
Our cozy and welcoming apartment is recently renovated and offers accommodation for a maximum of six people with the following facilities:

For children, in 5 minutes you can walk to the local park (Giardini) and in 10 minutes to Sant'Elena, where children can play and you can have a wonderful view of the lagoon.


CA’ DEA MIRA was built in the 1820s in old Venetian architecture. The house was meant for Venetian sailors. The location was perfect for them to reach the ships and travel away from the family and when back, to go out in the lagoon to fish. The women and the elders lived quietly in this area, sitting outside their own houses, mending nets and creating nice necklaces with the glass pearls coming from Murano. The children were all together playing out in the "campo", with their very few toys. This was the real heart of Venice, in contrast with the last reach show of power of the Serenissima.

If you need a relaxing and unique holiday in Venice you shouldn't miss a stay here!

VENICE HISTORY
Venice sprung from a myriad of isles lying in the centre of the Venetian Lagoon. It was an inhospitable environment made up of low seabeds, land just above the surface and narrow sandy islands buffering the lagoon from the Adriatic sea.
From the very start, Venetians have had to cope with a series of problems inextricably linked to Venice's particular environmental situation: namely, the scarcity of fresh water, the absence of arable land and the difficulty of obtaining raw materials. Surrounded by water and with the neraby mainland often under the control of powers that were hostile, Venetians were compelled to exploit to the utmost their one and only resource: the sea.

“A treat to stay in this comfortable appt in 'real Venice'” What a treat to stay in this lovely appartment, minutes from the Biennale, with a beautiful canal view. Would not hesitate to recommend. Owner Paola was very friendly and accommodating and the Via... more

“Great Apartment, Perfectly wonderful stay in Venice!” Paola, the owner was so gracious and helpful. The apartment was perfect for our needs, a great location away from the hustle and crowds of Venice but just a short walk to St Marks. The nearby supermarket and the gardens of the Giardini were a welcome bonus. We had a wonderful stress-free experience and we would definitely stay there again.

“Very disappointing, dirty and badly equipped” At first, the apartment looked ok. Unfortunately we soon discovered how dirty it actually was. All of the cutlery and cooking utensils were filthy with bits of stuck-on food, as if they hadn't been washed at all. All the plates were cracked and chipped, glasses were dirty, pots and pans dirty. We had to wash everything before we could use it. The kitchen was also very poorly equipped, everything was of very poor quality and there just weren't enough plates, bowls etc. The shower was full of dead flies and didn't look like it had had a thorough clean for ages. There was no toilet paper, surely a necessity! As the local shop was closed, we were forced to contact the owner's husband to bring us some. The single beds weren't made up when we arrived, the owner's husband had to go off and return with sheets and towels. We were then left to make the beds. The single beds were in a very poor condition and were dirty, not what we expect our children to have to sleep on. A heavy door fell off the cupboard in the children's bedroom - fortunately no-one was injured. The whole apartment was in need of a good clean - perhaps there wouldn't have been a fly and ant invasion if it was cleaner. Fortunately, we had only booked to stay for 3 nights. We have emailed the owner about these problems but have not received a reply.

“Absolute Bliss!!!” After a chaotic stay in Rome, we arrived late at night to meet Paola waiting for us at the Water Taxi Stop. She was lovely and very welcoming. As for Ca' Dea Mira, it was perfect!! Very clean and modern inside, but lots of original character and charm. You can step out of the front door and within five steps, you can sit by the edge of the canal. It is great for families and couples, and within walking distances to most of the majoy sights. We loved Venice and loved Ca' Dea mira and would definitely hope to return. If you buy a three day ticket for the Vaparetto/water taxi, you can practically go anywhere around Venice and the Lido.... a great experience for all. As Ca Dea Mira is in a quieter part of mainland Venice, you can benefit from better priced restaurants and eaterys and also you are not over run with the crowds. We visited the Biennale Art Exhibition..... and although we love art and are quite open minded.... it was not quite what we expected... a bit political and a bit wierd to be honest!!! Spend your money elsewhere like renting a bike for the whole day on the Lido!

“Cozy apartment tucked away in a quiet part of Venice” Attractive property tucked down a quiet side street alongside a non-touristy canal in the 'real' Venice well away from the touristy hubbub. It's a good 15 minutes walk to St... more

We loved it here - Especially the neighborhood piazza.

What an amazing weekend we had here in Venice: the apartment was the perfect location, very accomodating and comfortable. We hope to make it back one day! Thanks, Diana

The apartment is beautiful! We had an amazing week here in Venice, and the apartment has been a perfect base. Thanks, Andrea, Laura, Mike e William

We enjoyed the apartment and Venice very much -it is a perfect location - away from the crouds, but still close to sights. We would love to come back. Dong, Erika, Lexi & Sam

We really loved staying in this bright Scandinavian style apartment. The children especially liked the Sant'Elena park. Regards, Raimo Taina Amanda Adaliin, Finland

A lovely bright clean apartment. Nice location. Ceirtanly very keen to return sometime. Ciao!! TM U.K.

It feels to me that I have been for at least one month! when it's only 5 days. Redentore was lovely last night, great anticipation for everyone, fireworks spectacular as seen from Biennale area. Thank you so much - feel so much more rested now.

We spent two weeks at Christmastime with our family in Casa Mira and it was wonderful! One of our favourite holidays! The apartment was perfect -all we needed, clean and cosy. Some mornings, it was difficult to leave. The location was perfect - a quick walk along the Riva to Piazza San Marco, yet in a quiet neighbourhood full of locals next to one of the few playgrounds in the city- the kids were thrilled. We loved having our own nearly-private campo with a view to the old cathedral of the city for quiet moments at the end of our busy days. We are looking forward to returning for the Biennale and would greatly recommend this place to anyone! (a family with two children)
