Soderini Splendor: First Floor Palazzo Charm at Castello Square♡

Soderini Splendor is a gem. You’ll be sad to leave

10.0

Soderini Splendor is like visiting a family or friend’s home. The flat is beautifully designed, equipped with all creature comforts - all the equipment you need to cook if you want to stay in; bath salts to take a luxurious bath; books galore if you want to to just relax and not go out. Riccardo, the host, is phenomenal. He was responsive and superbly helpful with every aspect of our stay, where to eat, how to get the Venice airport (spend the money and book your water taxi to Venice airport- soooo worth the ride). Riccardo is a gracious and generous host. We are so grateful and appreciate him. The beds and pillows are very comfortable. Lots and lots of closet space to hang or put away your clothes/belongings. The bathrooms have been nicely renovated. There isn’t a detail in designing the space that wasn’t thought of. There is AC in every room. There is a washer and Riccardo provides the detergent. No dryer; use of hanging rack. It was all very comfortable! If you want to hear what’s going on in the square, open your windows (it has screens!! No mosquitos). If you prefer it quiet, close the windows. The location can’t be beat. It’s merely an 8 minutes walk to San Marco’s Square and the water bus; and 3 minutes walk from a non-busy private water taxi stop. It’s also situated on a quiet square where Venetians live. You get a great combination of local vibes and the ability to get to your museums and sights. Riccardo and Alessandra ~ thank you for your kind hospitality. We’ll be back!

− Nothing at all. We loved every aspect of the flat.

Lovely well equipped apartment in the best location!

Large spacious and well equipped apartment in a fantastic location. One block back from the Riva and convenient to walk everywhere or to pick up the waterbuses. Relatively quiet location with the front windows (overlooking the Campo) double glazed and all of the windows had shutters. Our hosts were great when our flight was delayed by 3 hours and we arrived late in the evening. Nothing was too much trouble it seemed. Everything we needed was here and more besides - the Nespresso machine had coffee pods, they provided some toiletries and cotton wool pads, olive oil and condiments, dishwasher tablets and washing up liquid, a roller shopping trolley…. Within a two minute walk was a bakery, cafes, several good restaurants and a small grocery store. The luxurious bathrooms had great showers and lots of hot water. One even has a bath which is a rarity in Venice. Only one short flight of stairs up to the front door then everything else is on one level. Check out is at 10am but there are lots of places in Venice to store your luggage and the hosts recommend one of them. We used their recommended water taxi service to get to the apartment (145 Euros with our combination of luggage) and would definitely do that again - easy, you could enjoy the views, and swift. The public water bus which we took back to the airport was 45 Euros for the 3 of us but was a bit of a scrum and you couldn’t enjoy the views squeezed into a cabin with lots of others, all juggling luggage. And it took twice as long to get to the airport. We wouldn’t hesitate to book this apartment again. We loved it here. Thank you!

− One of the bedrooms overlooks the side street and doesn’t have double glazing. You expect the street to be really quiet but the palazzo next door is a hotel and their breakfast preparation started at 6.45am - sadly you can hear it. Lots of china being moved around. Light sleepers may prefer the front bedrooms. Ideally the side bedroom needs double glazing.

We loved our time here and when we return to Venice we will certainly book it again.

This property if amazing it has lots of tradition features but also the best bathrooms ever had in an apartment, 4 star hotel standard with lots of nice touches, bath salts shower gel in fact everything you need…and towels so big and soft! The beds are very comfortable and again the linen to the highest standard. Location great close to everything and only 20 seconds walk to Grand canal. With this place being in a square it is super quiet and you get to see a bit of local culture right outside your bedroom window. We couldn’t have asked for a better host Ricardo met us and explained everything about the place and gave us some great hints about where to eat. His knowledge is amazing. A very professional set up with those extra special touches that make it a holiday to remember.

− The is nothing to dislike about this property

Everything about Soderini Splendor is exceptional!! Riccardo is a wonderful host, helpful with recommendations and immediately accessible by text. The apartment is just beautiful! It's extremely comfortable and well situated on a lovely quiet campo, yet close to all attractions.If I had to describe it in one term, QUALITY comes to mind. The finishes are exquisite... beautiful floors, furnishings, and luxury amenities in the baths. The unit was fully stocked, especially the kitchen & laundry rooms This is the only property I've rented where I would just love to come back and stay a month! Bravo Riccardo, & gracie mille!

− No complaints!! However....Riccardo, if you had coasters to protect your lovely furniture, I couldn't find them!!

Wonderful stay!
