Living in luxury in the heart of San Polo! This apartment, which is tucked into a quiet corner near the Rialto Mercato, delivers on all its promises. It is as beautiful as the photos suggest and laid out to provide the upmost privacy to the two en-suite bedrooms, connecting them with a spacious open concept living room and kitchen. It is carved out of a stately old palazzo, with many remaining historic touches, such as the beamed ceilings, but it is completely modern where it matters, in lighting, plumbing and appliances. It is impeccably clean and decorated with custom Murano glass pieces, all of which are for sale. In addition to a large, fully appointed kitchen, the flat has a small powder room and laundry closet, with a combo washer-dryer. There are two (2!) massive flat screen Smart TVs, which provide access to Netflix and other streaming service, robust fiber-optic WiFi, three coffee makers (drip and pod), and heating/ cooling units in every room. And all of this in one of the most desirable Sestiere in the city, with a multitude of restaurants, bars and Bacari within walking distance. The management is extremely professional and friendly. Orial met us at the Rialto Mercato vaporetto stop and escorted us to the flat, even helping carry my wife’s luggage up the single flight of steps to the apartment, which even a semi-active senior, such as myself, should be able to navigate with a 45 lbs. suitcase. There was a celebratory bottle of Spumante in the fridge and a hefty volume of instructions and restaurant recommendations on the counter. I can’t recommend this flat enough to anyone that plans to visit the enchanting city of Venice. We will certainly return.
