Ca' San Sebastiano
About the home
A south-facing 100 sq/mtrs canalside apartment on the Dorsoduro, which is one of the quietest and most sought-after areas of Venice. The apartment lies 2 minutes from the delightful Zattere and 1 minute from charming Campo Santa Margherita. It is close to all the major sights, but away from the main tourist traps, making a stay here restful even in the busiest months. The whole interior has recently been restored (June 2007). Rooms are bright and spacious and most have moulded plaster ceilings with old Murano chandeliers; floors are of travertine limestone, carrara marble or ceramic sandstone. 2 of the 3 bedrooms look out over the canal and the living room has a very large comfortable sofabed. The apartment has a separate well-equipped kitchen. Other features/facilities include Internet access, flat-screen TV, DVD player and stereo, film library and a comprehensive selection of Venetian-themed books. The apartment is beautifully furnished throughout with a mixture of contemporary and antique styles, including a magnificent Henri II carved walnut bed.

Further details indoors:
At Ca' San Sebastiano you can expect to find what is often lacking from many self-catering apartments, including feather pillows, umbrellas and walking sticks, a fully equipped picnic basket and coolbag, electrical adaptors, postcards, a good selection of Venetian and Italian CDs and DVDs, as well as an impressive library of books on Venice and more general literature. There are some folding chairs to take to sit out by the canal.
The very well equipped kitchen means you can take full advantage of the superb local markets, including the fish and vegetable stalls in Campo Santa Margherita, just 1 minute's walk from your kitchen.
Further details

The North East Italy / Veneto region


Whilst in the apartment, don't forget that you're only 10 minutes away from the railway station, which gives you access to the nearby historic cities of Padua, Vicenza and Verona, as well as the Palladian Villas and the Italian Lakes.
The Venice, Veneto / Central Venice area
Immediately outside the apartment is the church of San Sebastiano, whose celebrated interior was the 24-year-long project of local artist Veronese. Close by you'll also find the Accademia and Guggenheim galleries, the Frari, the Scuola Grande di San Rocco and the Scuola Grande dei Carmini. The famous Ca' Rezzonico (including its useful vaporetto and traghetto stops) on the Grand Canal is a 2 minute walk away. 20 minutes on foot will take you to both San Marco and the Rialto.

Guestbook for Ca' San Sebastiano
Thank you so much - we've had such a good time in your lovely apartment - love the music, books and games and the peaceful area. We leave with great regret!
Lesley and Roger Clark. York.
"We had a wonderful time in Venezia. Your apartment is perfect, cosy and very well located." Richard Takvorian. Paris.
"I chose to stay at the San Sebastiano apartment as it is good value for money, can sleep six people and is situated in a delightful and easy to reach district of the city. On arrival I was impressed with the care with which the apartment had been appointed and the attention to details to help the visitor such as the good library of information and range of equipment for use. The apartment was beautifully clean and well looked after and provided an excellent base for me to work from (as an artist). Th e nearby campi were full of life, good places to buy food and fascinating architecture. I woould not hesitate to recommend the apartment to friends and relatives. Staying there really added to the magic of Venice." "Veronese" Hitchin, Herts.
"Thank you for renting your apartment in Venice. It was truly the icing on the cake for our trip. Next year we are planning a return trip, and if available booking your apartment will be our first choice." Marianne Holding. England
Thank you SO much for a wonderful 4 night stay in your apartment in Venice.
The apartment is beautifully set up and we could've stayed 2 weeks just
reading all the extremely interesting books you have. We used the washing
machine, cooked simple meals in the lovely kitchen and used the gumboots you
provided when we experienced an aqua alta. My daughter loved it.
It was a few minutes walk to Ca Rezzonico vaporetto stop on the Grand Canal
and from there we went all over Venice including Burano and catching a water
taxi off Burano to visit a beautiful island monastery of St Francis. The
whole experience was magic. A VERY big thank you to Irene ( local meet and
greet lady) who kindly posted on some Venetian masks that we left behind. We
truly appreciated her very kind gesture.
Thanks again for an amazing stay.

"We just got back from our overseas holiday and I wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed our stay at Ca' San Sebastiano. The flat was perfect for our first visit to this beautiful city. You've created a place that
feels more home than hotel and its situation in Dorsoduro is perfect for creating the feel of living like a Venetian and not a tourist. You provided for every need and convenience! Best wishes and thank you again for sharing your little piece of heaven with us."

"Really great, spacious apartment. We loved the location, not in the main tourist spots. The supermarket was nearby and a lovely square. Really reasonable price for the size of apartment. It was well equipped, clean and comfortabe. We would defintely go back. We went on a girls weekend, but would be equally suitable for couples or a family. " Lois. Henley-On-Thames
"We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday in Venice, using your apartment as our base. It was more a home from home, comfortable with elegant details." Val and Peter Davies. England.
Just a note to say what a great time we had in Venice, your apartment more than lived up to expectations! The library was a revelation to all, not that we were there long enough to read anything. The location is superb, quiet but close to everything, everybody enjoyed the few days we were there and hope to return again in the future. Many thanks for your information and instructions the apartment was certainly easy to find.
Kind regards. John. B . Hampshire
NB - AVAILABILITY . If the particular dates you are looking for are not available at Ca' San Sebastiano, you might like to try Ca' Venexiana. This is an apartment owned by a friend in the same block as Ca' San Sebastiano. It is a little smaller with a double room, a twin room and a sofa-bed. It also has a fantastic private courtyard right on the canal. Please contact me for details.
