Castello Exquisite Historical Palazzo Apartment

The Alighieri “B” is a truly exquisite top floor with spectacular canal views, spacious sunny terrace, accessible by elevator.

It is one of the four apartments comprising the whole top floor of an historical Palazzo found in the west side of Castello District, only a few minutes’ walk from San Marco Square.

In the surroundings there are lots of artisan and antique ateliers, local food shops and delicious osterie (traditional restaurants). Some of the cultural landmarks that can be found close by in Castello beside the well-known Arsenale and Biennale Gardens include Basilica Santi Giovanni e Paolo, Scuola di San Giorgio degli Schiavoni, Church of San Giorgio dei Greci, Campo Santa Maria Formosa, Church of San Zaccaria and many others.

The entire property has been completely and luxuriously refurbished in 2013: an elevator has been installed, the original terrazzo flooring and art-deco inspired inlaid parquet renovated, frescoes and stuccoes brought back to the ancient splendour, the spacious terrace equipped with table, sunshade and sun chairs, at the ground floor a Sauna is available on request.

The building is accessible by private water taxi from the Marco Polo airport in only 20 minutes and it takes less than 5 minutes’ walk to reach the Vaporetto/Alilaguna (ferry boat) stop San Zaccaria, thus very central.

This apartment can be accessed from a very bright and elegant shared entrance hall giving on to the communal terraces. It has a spacious living/dining room with the most remarkable stuccoed ceiling, large windows facing Rio di San Lorenzo and offering stunning canal views, elegant furnishing and a modern full optional kitchen for chef-proof dining up to 8 people.

In the room between the living room and the master bedroom there is a double sofa-bed and the access to the second bathroom. The master bedroom boasts a canopied bed dressed with nice linen, while its en-suite marble bathroom is equipped with bathtub. The apartment is equipped with every sort of comfort, including Wi-Fi, A/C, washing machine, dishwasher, oven, large fridge and freezer, TV with DVD player, etc.

The Alighieri "B" can also be combined with the Alighieri “A”, “C” and/or “D”, located on the same floor. We called this combination of apartments Palazzo Alighieri: a perfect accommodation solution for groups that aim for maximum privacy or for family reunions with well-behaved children.
