10. Affordable garden casa in Venice (from USD 144)
This listing features one of the least expensive villas of this page, moreover, it’s positioned next to the lagoons of Venice. To be precise, it is located in Favaro Veneto, thus the prime tourism sites like Venice, Padua, and Marco Polo are in the vicinity. While the rental cost is still the most remarkable attribute with this deal, we would like to draw your attention to the architecture of this holiday home. It has been recently renovated, yet the property has very well preserved the true Venetian-style that reflects Gothic, Byzantine, Ottoman, and more techniques. You may bring a dog here, upon paying little charges.
