This apartment is easy to access, only 2 minutes’ walk to the Rialto Mercato Vaporetto stop and located at the first floor of a beautiful 17th century historic building. The entrance door at the ground floor is used exclusively by this apartment hence maximum privacy is guaranteed. Being located off the main tourist itinerary this apartment is very quiet despite the vicinity to the Market.
This apartment is perfect for those who like to experience a romantic holiday on the Grand Canal, or those who are curious to try the delicious Venetian cuisine, either cooking at home the fresh produce available at the Rialto Market close by, or dining at the many fine restaurants found in the San Polo District.
San Polo is a maze of quiet Calli (lanes) and pleasant Campi (little squares). One of the most important places of this district is Campo San Polo, the second widest square of the city after St. Mark’s Square, where local children and pets can run around and play games while adults chat, in summer there is an open-air cinema, in winter an ice-skating ring.
San Polo is known for its fine but reasonably priced Osterie and Bacari (informal traditional restaurants and bars) where you can find locals and connoisseurs. This district is in fact not touristy at all, exception made for the area of the Rialto Bridge, where the busy and colourful Rialto Market takes place every morning (Sundays excluded).
