About Us

Our history

Our agency was founded in October 1995 and since then we are all living and working in Venice. When we say “living like the Venetians” we mean to offer accommodations located only in the historic center of our wonderful city, carefully selected for our future guests.

Many of our guests enjoy the liberty of staying in a flat instead of a hotel. They appreciate the opportunity to become “resident” in our wonderful city in an authentic way, even if for a short time and to experience the true Venetian life, such as a shopping trip to the fish and vegetable market and prepare a true Venetian recipe!

Together with many of our customers we hope that this way we can in a modest but sincere way contribute to protect and conserve the typical Venetian life. So in the future we still might the small, individual shops and bars, affordable restaurants and people meeting and talking at quiet and picturesque squares.
