Corte Nova

2019 was the second time we had stayed in this lovely little self-catering apartment, and as in 2018, no regrets whatsoever. Last year, we were in the ‘main’ part of the building, above the reception. This time, we were in apartment 10, which is a couple of metres further along, with the door accessible directly from the street. The apartment is large, warm and very, very clean. There is a large bedroom with two single beds pushed together, a kitchen and dining area, and a bathroom with shower. The entrance has two locking doors, and there are bars on the ground floor window leading onto the street, for extra security. At the back, off the kitchen, is a large garden and balcony. We looked at this but didn’t use it as we were in Venice in early January and the temperature was around freezing. The kitchen has a gas hob, and there is a large fridge with small freezer section. There is free WiFi and the signal is very good. The apartment is a 35-minute walk from the bus station where you arrive when coming from the airport. This sounds like a lot, and it is – but google maps gets you there no problem, and the big advantage is that the apartment is situated in a very quiet part of town, and so there is no constant noise from the tourists walking up and down the street. There is a small supermarket across the canal (about a 30 second walk from the apartment), which has a decent selection of food and drink. The staff are very helpful, and they confirm that upon checking out, it is possible to leave one’s luggage at the reception until midday. We liked: • cleanliness • spacious • very good central heating • far from tourist spots • a supermarket just across the canal We didn’t like: • no complaints about anything
