Location
Situated on the ground floor to the side and rear of the palazzo and accessed via the palazzo’s water door or the Culti-decorated communal ‘androne’ hallway.
Moments to all the must-see sights of/near Piazza San Marco including the towering Campanile, the Basilica, the Doge’s Palace, the Clock Tower (Torre dell’ Orologio), Harry’s Bar, Caffé Florian (300 years old this year!), not forgetting the incredibly charming hidden Scala Contarini del Bovolo and the gondola station at Bacino Orseolo.
Close to some of Venice’s finest luxury boutiques, 3 well-stocked supermarkets (plus one very closeby specialising in organic foods), a local wine shop just off Campo Santo Stefano, countless bars and restaurants (including Ristorante Da Ivo – often in the press!), along with one of Venice’s most famous coffee and pastry shops – Marchini Time.
Within a short walk of 3 vaporetto (water bus) stops – Rialto, San Marco Vallaresso and Sant’Angelo for easy movement around the city – and to the traghetto gondola ferry at Sant’ Angelo/Garzoni crossing the Grand Canal to San Toma in labyrinthine district of San Polo.
An easy amble across the iconic Rialto Bridge to the Rialto Market (food shopping heaven!) Also within a short stroll of the Palazzo Grassi Museum of Modern Art and the Accademia Bridge.
