Experience timeless Venice from your apartment in a noble palazzo in the prestigious Castello district. The location is "centralissimo" between the Rialto bridge and St Mark's Piazza. And the apartment is well organized and finely furnished.
Your stay of a week or more includes a complimentary, magical cruise for two in a gondola, an experience of a lifetime in this magical city. Don't skip the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity because of the high cost of about E140.
The patrician palazzo was converted into apartments for family members a generation ago. It retains its fine architectural elements, the beautiful green courtyard with its private well and water gate, the trifora gothic windows that remind that you are in a real home of nobility, and the special weathered pink exterior that makes Venetian buildings deceptively playful looking.
If you arrive by vaporetto or water taxi, you'll disembark at the famous Rialto bridge on the Grand Canal with its signature arch high enough for the boats to pass underneath. The walks from the Rialto and to St Mark's Square are both in the ten minute range -- if you can refrain from window shopping and exploring.
The apartment occupies the former library of the palazzo with its glorious gothic windows and high ceilings that now define the living room. Two sofas provide plenty of seating even if you are five. Behind the living room is the dining area with antique sideboards. The sleeping gallery is just above the dining area and the ceiling over the table adds a nice feeling of intimacy. Air conditioned.
The sunny kitchen has recently been redecorated in a pleasing yellow. The designer has ingeniously worked in a breakfast bar for casual meals, that first cup of coffee, or for extended preparation space. There is an open air market near the Rialto bridge; don't hesitate to bring back fixings for a gourmet meal, the kitchen is complete.
The bathroom has a full bathtub with shower and you'll find the washer in the same room.
Two stairways lead up from the living room area to the bedrooms. The master bedroom is above the bath, kitchen and entry. It is filled with light from two half-moon windows. En suite half bath (toilet and sink). There is air conditioning in this bedroom.
The second bedroom is actually a large loft over the dining area. It contains a queen sized bed, a single bed, a sofa, chest and armoire. We count it as a bedroom because it is so much more spacious than most tiny lofts that you see. It is a full room that is open on one side so you have a beautiful view out the triforo windows.
