We rent our apartment in the centre of VENICE. The apartment is composed of: a small entrance hall and two rooms, one bathroom with shower and a balcony. One room offers the kitchenette, fully-equipped with four cooking stoves, table, etc. and a single or double sofabed. The other room offers another double sofabed, really comfortable and easy-to-open. So it is suitable for a family, a family with one or two children, but don't forget there is only one bathroom!
Three large windows and a nice balcony open onto a picturesque canal. The apartment is located on the first floor. Tell us if you have children: we will lend you our child's toys. There is a washing machine, TV, VHS, oven; linen and towels are included. Sorry No Pets. The house has been completely restored in 2002. You will find everything new.
As maybe you know, sometime in Venice the sea floods the city streets, but our apartment is safely located at the first floor. Anyway you will find four sets of galoshes at home that will allow you to go everywhere: for tourists it could be a picturesque experience! Staying at the first floor you will avoid not only flood but also consequential humidity of Venetian settlements located at the ground or at the so called "piano rialzato" (mezzanine).
When in our house you will be in the heart of the lively district of Cannaregio, where the popular culture of Venice is still alive and where restaurants and "osterias" (pubs) are still for Venetians (and for the few lucky tourists who go off the beaten track for a minute or two). You will be four minute walk from the boat service ("vaporetto"), ten minutes from the railway station, and ten minutes from Rialto, maybe less with the "gondola." If you plan to arrive to the San Marco Airport, just take the Alilaguna boat shuttle Airport-Venice, stop at Guglie water bus stop in Venice and then you have to walk four minutes and just one bridge to cross!
We really believe that, when traveling abroad, it is fundamental to taste the true Spirit of a place, not only what the tourist machine wants to show you, but that special feeling that inhabits every single place, the "Genius Loci" as Norbert Schultze once wrote.
We are Paolo, Giulia and Natalia, Nati for friends (eleven years old). We are an happy family who lives in Bologna. We decided to buy the apartment in Venice because we love this city. We lived for six years there when we were students at the University School of Architecture. Now we both are Architects professing in Bologna but our hearts are still in Venice.
The city is not so far from Bologna so, during the periods we do not rent the apartment, it is possible for us enjoying short stays in the most spectacular city of the world. Normally Paolo will be available on Saturday to meet you in Venice and lead you into your Venetian experience (better at the railroad station or in "Piazzale Roma": the last bastion of the world endowed with cars). In case Paolo should not be present for some reason, don't worry because you will already have the keys and instructions (see our website).
