My daughter and I stayed in this apartment 16-18 April. The apartment is even better than it looks on photos!
The large windows in the living room can be opened, which transforms it into an open space with phenomenal views on the Grand Canal. The entrance to a private terrace is also from the living room. The terrace itself is spacious and nicely decorated with flowers and greenery.
Although there is no kitchen, all neccessery appliances for your breakfast and snacks are in the entrance hall: a mini-fridge with supply of still and sparkling water, milk and complimentary bottle of prosecco. There is a coffee machine with different types of coffee, a kettle and a milk frother. The cutlery and crockery are provided as well.
A small and cosy bedroom has comfortable beds and is decorated with beautiful paintings and a lovely venetian glass chandelier. The room is ensuite and has television. In our 3 day stay, we didn’t turn it on once as the views from the living room are so much more cinematic! The pictures from there are incredible.
It is important to note that at night it is possible to have a quiet and undisturbed sleep despite the apartment being located on the busy Grand Canal.
The building itself, as well as the apartment, compliments the atmosphere of 16 th century.
The area is lively, packed with shops and restaurants. It only takes 10 min on foot to the famous Rialto bridge, and 20 min to st Marko square, when you know where you are going. The stop of the river bus Vaporetto is within 3 min. The Coop supermarket is just around the corner that works till 10p.m.
The host Caterina is friendly and ready to help with valuable advise about Venitian lifestyle and directions. The communication was immediate! We can’t recommend this apartment enough, as it took a huge part in our success of citybreak.
IMPORTANT INFO FOR FIRST TIME VISITORS: If you arrive on Tronchetto bus station from the Treviso airport, the driver and staff heard the full bus of people like sheep into the ticket office of a boat ride into st Marco’s square. Upon being questioned about the Vaparetto that goes around Venice like a bus, the staff said it was on another island that we needed to go. As we were in Venice a short time, we got the tickets to the St Marco’s square.It took us at least 40 min on foot to the apartment as we were with bags- the Venetian streets are full of bridges with stairs over canals, and often the google maps took us through streets that were cut off by a canal.
Upon us coming back, we found out that the Vaparetto was right across the street from the bus station. It takes 10 mins to stop by route Nr. 2 to P.le Roma and then route Nr.1 to Ca’ d’Oro stop itself. Therefore be mindful and look carefully around you, because the bus station and the Vaparetto stop are only 2 mins away.
