Location
Within easy walking distance of Venice’s Santa Lucia Railway Station and Piazzale Roma if travelling light, and even closer to the vaporetto (waterbus) stops at Riva di Biasio and San Stae on the Grand Canal for hassle-free travel around the city.
Close to a great variety of cafes, bars and eateries including All’ Anfora, La Zucca, Il Refolo, Al Prosecco and Antica Besseta to name but a few, and within minutes of the Ca’ Pesaro International Gallery of Modern Art, Palazzo Mocenigo at San Stae (Museum of the History of Fabrics, Costumes and Perfumes) and the Fondazione Prada at Ca’ Corner Della Regina.
Moments to Campo San Giacomo Dell’ Orio – one of Venice’s most charming ‘away from the crowds’ tree-filled squares and home to a well-stocked Coop supermarket and nearby local shops – and a short walk to a Conad supermarket on the Rio Marin canal.
St Marks square approx 20min walk but less than 10 by vaporetto.
Interior
Showcasing elegance and pared-down simplicity at its best and situated on the 1st floor of the residence reached by lift or via a staircase rising from the splendid ‘chequerboard’ marble-floored communal entrance hallway on the floor below, accommodation comprises a full-length main sitting/dining room with Venetian terrazzo flooring and tall ceilings which echoes the traditional layout of many Venetian ‘Piano Nobili’.
Of fine proportions and topped with beautiful painted beams dotted with glass chandeliers, the room offers plenty of seating and a modern style dining suite quirkily offset by two fun and fabulous Rococo-style armchairs.
To one side of the main central room sits the well-equipped and fully-fitted kitchen/breakfast room, while the other leads to two well-dressed double bedrooms – one to the front with feature fireplace (not in use) and one to the rear and both with their own en-suite and up-to-date bathrooms (one with a large shower, the other with a bathtub and shower over, and both beautifully appointed).
In between the two bedrooms sits a further small bedroom/snug with a sofa/’pull out’ bed sleeping 2, while a third bedroom with a double bed (can be made into twins – simply ask when booking) and an en-suite service bathroom (w.c. and wash hand basin only) sits to the front of the apartment on the opposite side.
