The house: 16th century in the heart of Cannaregio between Strada Nuova and Fondamenta Nuove. On foot five min. from the Rialto Bridge and 12min. from San Marco.
The flat: recently remodeled.
Each room is independent: two bedrooms (one with kingsize bed and 3 windows and one with queensize bed and one window), living room with 2 sofas and 3 windows on canal , sit-in kitchen with window on canal, bathroom with window and small entrance, air conditioning and central heating.
We rent our lovely, bright (total of nine windows), quiet, and comfortable flat for one week stays all year round usually from Saturday to Saturday. Ideal for two to three people, can comfortably sleep 4.
You can experience Venice like a real Venetian and have a unique, charming approach to this wonderful city which is still very lively and human. The perfect central location just off the tourist track, the view from the many windows overlooking the Canal San Andrea (see photo from one of the three living room windows), the wooden beam ceilings in the living room and in the kitchen, the charming main bedroom, the cozy second bedroom, the functional bathroom with shower and washing machine, and the elegant furniture make it a special place.
We have just added air conditioning for cooler summers. For those who don't like it we have very good fans.
Local shopping is great. We suggest you take the gondola ferry "Traghetto Santa Sofia" 2 min. for a few cents to the Rialto Fish and Vegetable Market where you can buy the best fresh food in town, a BILLA supermarket at San Felice, 3 min., is open all day seven days a week and the best typical restaurants happen to be nearby.
The neighborhood is very lively and central. In two minutes you can reach the nearest boat station Ca' D'Oro (nine min.boat ride to the train station and 12min. to Piazzale Roma-link to the mainland and airport) and just one minute from the flat you can find one of the best and most typical venetian "cicchetti" restaurant, the Baccaro Ca'D'Oro-Alla Vedova. From the near Fondamenta Nuove you take the boats to the Islands of Torcello, Murano e Burano and to the famous Lido with the glamorous hotels and beaches(Visconti's Death in Venice, Film Festival, etc.).
Usually no pets. The flat is on the second floor therefore even if there is no lift you just have to walk up only a comfortable flight of stairs. Smoking is NOT allowed inside, exceptionally only in the kitchen with open window and closed door!
Note: We usually rent it weekly from Saturday to Saturday. Shorter rentals only last minute or to fill holes of longer rentals. Recommended for two people, with the second bedroom sleeps up to four. Rates during Carnival, Easter, New Year's Eve, Biennale and peak weeks are higher. Discounts are offered for longer stays (two weeks or longer) especially in the low season. Special last-minute offers may be available to fill open dates. If you like the description of our flat, do get in touch with us in any case. Sometimes we can find creative solutions to dates and prices!
We kindly ask our guests when back home to write a comment in the vrbo-rentors-org guest book. Most tell us on the phone or by email how charming and comfortable it is but we would like also other potential guests to read it. Thank you! |
