Ca’ San Beneto

NEW LISTING!

A new and classically attired 2-bedroomed apartment in a fabulously central area pivotal to Venice’s main sights!

Steps away from the magnificent 15th-century Venetian Gothic Palazzo Fortuny in a chic area of San Marco tucked away from the main traffic flows and the hubbub of passing crowds, the freshly updated Ca’ San Beneto sleeps 4 on the 1st floor of an ancient building identified by a stone ‘stemma’ (coat of arms) set within the wall above its main front door.

Self-catering in style simply doesn’t come any easier courtesy of a large and well-stocked supermarket within moments of your Venetian ‘home’, while the Rialto Bridge, the Grand Canal and St. Mark’s Square can all be reached on foot within minutes, along with 2 vaporetto (water bus) stops for ease of travel about town.

Calm and comfortable in vibe, accessed by stairs (no lift) and showcasing a host of traditional Venetian features including polished terrazzo flooring, age-old timbers and gorgeous Murano chandeliers lighting up its rooms, the air-conditioned apartment includes Wi-Fi and a washing machine / dryer for added convenience within accommodation comprising:

A warm, welcoming and classically attired main central sitting / dining room echoing the layout of a Grand Canal palazzo ‘piano nobile’ (noble floor) ‘salone’ yet cosier, more intimate and rather more modest in proportion and home to a tall wooden-beamed ceiling, 3 large windows to the fore, a velvet sofa with additional seating and a dining suite for 4

A separate well-equipped kitchen / breakfast room with fitted units and breakfast table lit by old-school, industrial-style lamps overhead

An attractive principal bedroom overlooking the little thoroughfares to the front and side of the apartment, simply furnished with a double bed and painted chests of drawers, and a contemporary en suite bathroom with bathtub and shower over

A restful twin bedroom to the rear of the apartment dressed in similar style to the principal with 2 single beds, which can be made into a double upon your request when booking , wardrobe and a contemporary en suite bathroom with marble-clad shower

In the apartment there is a printer available for Guests.

OUR COMMENT

A treasure tucked away in the heart of San Marco that ticks all the boxes for a memorable Venice stay!

Within seconds of the peaceful and semi-secluded Campo and Church of San Beneto (founded in the 11th century) and the breathtakingly beautiful, ultra- atmospheric Palazzo Fortuny Museum of Mariano Fortuny y Madrazo – famous photographer, painter, stage and textile designer – well worth a visit if open (usually only during exhibitions).

Also close to the charming Scala Contarini del Bovolo (Staircase of the Snail) and the Teatro La Fenice, and just a quick sidestep off the vibrant little shop-filled thoroughfare known as Calle della Mandola (Street of the Almond) connecting Campo Santo Stefano to Campo Sant’ Angelo, with the famous Rialto Bridge and district to the north and St. Mark’s Square and its myriad attractions to the south.

Within moments of the Multisala Rossini complex housing a 3-screen cinema and a large, newly re-opened Despar supermarket for stocking up on supplies and within easy reach of 2 vaporetto (water bus) stops for easy travel around the city – one at Rialto on the Riva Del Carbon and the other at Sant’ Angelo – and to 2 ‘traghetto’ services ferrying passengers by gondola across the Grand Canal (please check operating times) – one between the Riva Del Carbon near Rialto in the district of San Marco and the Riva Del Vin at San Silvestro in the district San Polo, and the other between Calle Del Tragheto near Sant' Angelo in San Marco and San Toma in San Polo.
