The apartment is situated in the district of Castello both in the midst of the Venetian community but also close to the major cultural and historical centre. Built around 1450, in the middle of a lively street of shops and restaurants, this is a charming and characterful third floor apartment ten minutes walk from St Marks Square. Unusually it has an altana/roof terrace giving fabulous panoramic views over the whole of Venice even to the snow capped Dolomites.
The apartment is easily accessible on foot over only one or two bridges from either the Arsenale or Giardini water stop.
Three minutes from the waterstop for Lido beaches, it is one hour from Marco Polo airport and 30 minutes from the bus and train stations by waterbus.
 

The apartment is in the centre of possibly the last indigenous Venetian community. This part of Castello, based around the Via Garibaldi, is full of shops, restaurants and services. There are also the two magnificent churches of San Francesco and San Giuseppe (where a doge is buried) and close to the top end of Via Garibaldi the former Cathedral of San Pietro.
Some of the best Venetian food can be found in several of the local restaurants whilst the quality of fresh produce in the shops is of the highest – and reasonably priced.
 

The front door of the apartment is on the third floor of the palazzo. You then climb a stone staircase into the beamed living room / dining room with windows at each end offering lagoon views. There is a small well equipped kitchen (oven, dishwasher, fridge). Just off the living room is a utility area (with washing machine) leading to the entrance to the bathroom with full length bath and a shower attachment.
The master bedroom with king size bed is on the same floor. The upstairs twin bedded room is reached by climbing a galleried staircase (unsuitable for toddlers).
The roof terrace is reached from the top bedroom through a French door.
The apartment is very quiet and cosy making it a good all year round residence, even in the winter.

Vuokko says: "Good location. Works splendidly for 4 persons, but in case of shy people, only 1 bathroom might be a problem. The balcony on the roof provides unforgettable views. The diswasher did not work, no matter what we did. The instructions for arrival are a little incorrect 1) you take red Alilaguna, not blue 2) Alilaguna leaves on the hour to the airport, not 5 to the hour 3) Monica, the caretaker is next to the hotel, not on the opposite side."
