Ca' della Frutta

A simple, well-tended ‘Home Sweet Home’ with terrace, privately tucked away close to Campo Santa Margherita.

Sitting high up above Dorsoduro’s narrow Calle de la Pazience, and directly facing the upper reaches of the 14th century Church of Santa Maria dei Carmini on one side, Ca’ Della Frutta sleeps 4 guests in recently renovated 2 bedroom accommodation on the 3rd floor reached by stairs.

So named after the floating - and exceedingly photo-friendly! - fruit and vegetable boat moored at the Ponte dei Pugni (Bridge of Fists) on the San Barnaba Canal nearby, and brought to you complete with air-conditioning* for summertime comfort and Wi-Fi connection too, its neat as a new pin accommodation comprises:

• A modern beamed main living area made up of a small yet well-equipped kitchenette/dining space and sitting room all in one, which leads to…

• A spacious and secluded tiled and furnished terrace - facing the church and offering the slimmest sideways glimpse towards the Baroque façade of the Scuola Grande dei Carmini - and an ideal spot for breakfasting beneath the blue skies of a warm spring or summer morning or winding down (Prosecco in hand!) after a fun time about town

• A spotless modern bathroom with shower and washing machine

• Two simple bedrooms in a pared down/minimalist style - one a double, the other a twin with 2 single beds and both with terrazzo flooring


OUR COMMENT

Compact, unfussy yet with everything to hand in a thriving and very ‘real’ district of town…

…Where residents and students from the university meet for a ‘spritz’ and to catch up on news, and where cafes, eateries, bars and gelaterie all join together in creating a buzzing and very local Venetian atmosphere.

Within moments of a traditional ‘macelleria’ (butcher’s shop), a well-stocked 2 floor Punto Simply supermarket, the campo’s fresh fish, fruit and vegetable stalls, plus 2 ‘vino sfuso’ (wine on tap) shops - spot the demijohns! - for all your self-catering needs.

A short walk to the Church of San Sebastiano and its marvelous Veronese paintings, and the beautiful Ca’Rezzonico Museum of 18th Century Venice and vaporetto (water bus) stop on the Grand Canal.

Also close to the popular Venice Jazz Club and to some of our favourite Venice restaurants including Enoteca Ai Artisti (definitely worth booking due to its tiny size!), Da Codroma, Ai Quatro Feri, plus Pane Vino e San Daniele at sleepy Campo dell’ Angelo Raffaele.

Within easy walking distance of Piazzale Roma if travelling light.
