Appartamento Vicolo Cavalletto

Appartamento Vicolo Cavalletto Overview

You know what caught me off guard about Appartamento Vicolo Cavalletto? The name literally tells you everything you need to know – it’s tucked away on this narrow little vicolo (that’s alleyway for non-Italian speakers) that feels like you’ve stumbled into someone’s private neighborhood secret. I mean, I’ve walked past similar entrances in Venice dozens of times without giving them a second thought, but this place actually made me stop and appreciate how these old residential pockets still exist between all the tourist chaos.

The apartment itself is honestly what I’d call “authentically Venetian” without all the touristy flourishes – think exposed beams, those slightly uneven floors that remind you you’re in a building that’s probably older than your home country, and windows that frame views you didn’t expect. The 8.9 rating makes total sense once you’re inside because it’s clearly been renovated with actual thought, not just slapped together for Airbnb. You’ll find proper kitchen equipment (I’m talking real coffee maker, not some sad instant stuff), decent Wi-Fi that actually works when you need to upload photos, and – this matters more than you’d think – proper blackout capabilities for those curtains because Venetian summer mornings start ridiculously early.

What really sold me on this place was the location dynamics. During the day, you’re close enough to hear the distant hum of tourists doing their thing, but by evening it gets genuinely quiet – like, you can actually hear the water lapping against the buildings kind of quiet. The vicolo itself becomes this peaceful little corridor where maybe you’ll see a local heading home with groceries or an old woman hanging laundry from her window. It’s that sweet spot where you feel connected to actual Venetian life without being completely isolated from the action. Check-in was refreshingly straightforward too – no hunting around for key boxes or dealing with complicated codes, just real human interaction which honestly felt novel after so many sterile booking experiences. The space works well for couples or solo travelers who want something that feels more like borrowing a friend’s place than staying in generic accommodation. Sure, it’s a 3-star setup so don’t expect luxury amenities, but sometimes what you really want is just a comfortable, genuine base where you can decompress between exploring and maybe cook a simple dinner with ingredients from the local markets.

  Tutto perfetto e staff meraviglioso.

• Nathalie from Italy – 29 March 2025 (8/10)

  Ottima posizione dell’appartamento, direttamente in centro!
  
  What could be improved: Risulta essere un po’ scomodo per quanto riguarda il parcheggio che dista all’incirca 10 minuti a piedi, soprattutto se si ha dei bagagli pesanti

  Bella soluzione in pieno centro molto comodo
  
  What could be improved: In realtà solo pochi accorgimenti per limare il tutto tipo mettere lo specchio a altezza anche di chi è più basso, qualche tazza, qualche bustina di the zucchero ecc…
  E cambiare le abat jour (una non funzionava)
