An absolutely delightful apartment in Venice
A beautiful apartment in traditional style, renovated with much care and attention to detail. With windows facing onto the canal it was tempting to just sit in the kitchen with a cup of coffee and watch the world go by. High ceilings with wood beams and marble floors throughout, Ca' Magica has an air of quiet elegance about it which reflects its location.
A small but extremely well-provisioned Coop supermarket is no more than three minutes walk away, situated on a square where it's possible to get everything from breakfast pastries to dinner. There are many little bars, restaurants, bakeries and gelateria within ten minutes walk, and the vast majority of them are reasonably priced. All the major tourist hotspots are easily accessible, and the vaporetto stop is only five minutes away. It's well worth walking to the far side of the city and seeing the various different sestieri. Ca' Magica is in Santa Croce, a quiet residential district and close to Dorsoduro and San Polo. At the opposite side of the city is Castello with parks and green spaces. The 23 Biennale Architettura was due to open there the week after we left unfortunately, so we took the vaporetto to Lido, an adjacent island famed for its long sandy beach instead.
We spent a week at Ca' Magica and would happily go back. The location is ideal, close to the tourist centres but not too close, and the hosts were always friendly, helpful and communicative. We could not recommend it more highly.
