A stay at Silvia’s property is an incredible luxury. The location is quite extraordinary, whether you are attending La Biennale or taking time to witness the beauty of Venetian life. The property is right on a piazzetta and provides you with options for a bakery, a butcher, and a few cicchetti right outside the front door. The Arsenale vaporetto stop is less than 5 minutes away for your ease of access and Piazza San Marco is not more than 10 minutes by foot if your feet take you there. La Biennale Arsenale location is within 12 minutes walking.
While the action might be quite accessible and right outside the doorway of the beautiful building housing the apartment, there is silence and peace inside. Up one flight of beautiful wooden stairs (note the mosaic crest on the wall heading up and don’t forget to note the painted accents on the beamed ceilings), you find your peaceful and stylish residence. An expansive and high-ceiling room has been artfully decorated with Silvia’s keen eye. A few comfy lounging sofas grace the marble floors and a large dining room table (I mean large) is best for meals, meetings, and cooking. The apartment was nicely stocked with items to use for cooking for those with a passion for doing so. A sweet welcome of a bottle of beer and coffee were generous accents. Tall windows (use the mosquito nets when open) let you peer into a garden courtyard on one end and the little avenue bordering the building on the other. The bedrooms are also quite comfortable with each containing a double bed and appropriate lighting and electric fixtures. The bathrooms are quite luxurious in space and style and with exquisite views. To top it all off, the addition of a washing machine makes this apartment practical.
Silvia and Kevin were incredibly helpful and checked in as needed to ensure our comfort, providing us with great recommendations for restaurants and local amenities. We can’t wait to stay in such a wonderful space once again!
