An apartment in the nerve center of the City, for four (available to accommodate child per request) , with Rialto Bridge and boating views and its own small terrace/balcony directly on the Grand Canal - yet moments to Campo Santi Apostoli, the jewel-box Church of Santa Maria Dei Miracoli and the alleged birthplace of legendary Venetian explorer Marco Polo (1254 - 1324).
Gently nudging the fairytale archways of the hidden little 'Campiello Del Remer' courtyard just across the water from the world-renowned Rialto Market area and the broad outside dining terraces of convivial and cosmopolitan wine bar/restaurant "Narzaria" and the well-loved and traditional 'Bancogiro' on the opposite bank, Ca' Giulia offers light, bright and airy accommodation charmingly decorated with a hint of 20's nostalgia and the indelible stamp of style and great taste - irresistible!
There's a spacious and elegant sitting room flooded with natural light from the large, beautiful and intricately screened windows and arched glazed water door overlooking the Rialto Bridge and the ever-changing spectacle of water-borne activity along the canal. Enormously comfortable and featuring ornithological prints set against walls and furnishings of soothing 'sage' and 'sea-spray' greens perfectly in keeping with its memorable waterside setting, the room has one the most antique Venetian floors (made up of powder, granules marble and mixed with transparent epoxy resin formulas), a painted closely-beamed ceiling, cushioned cane furniture and access, via the water door, to a small, dainty balcony all of your own - perfect for watching the gondolas row by, glass of Prosecco in hand.
There's a fully-furnished kitchen, well-equipped and with a washing machine, two comfortable and lovely master bedrooms with warm wooden flooring, plus two bathrooms - one en suite to the master bedroom with a tiled shower and the other with a bathtub. The apartment also has air-conditioning and Wi-Fi connection .
OUR COMMENT
A fantastically roomy and airy apartment, very central in the lively Rialto area and with breathtaking views over the Grand Canal and the Rialto Bridge, yet hidden away in a 'secret' campiello - the best of both worlds!
Within easy reach of a local 'Coop' supermarket for stocking up on supplies and moments to the newly opened and amazing 'T Fondaco Dei Tedeschi' luxury department store and to the many shops of the Strada Nuova.
Also close to a number of well-reviewed restaurants including 'Trattoria da Bepi Gia 54', 'Osteria La Bottega ai Promessi Sposi' and 'Casa Mia’ near the Church of Santi Apostoli, a great range of snacks at the popular ‘Rosticceria Gislon’ off Campo San Bartolomeo (their 'mozzarella in carrozza' is a must!), not forgetting the picturesque 'Taverna Del Campiello Remer' just moments from the apartment.
