Classic Venetian Style apartment of about 120 square meters located in a quiet street very close to Piazza San Marco. It features an authentic canal view enjoyable from the many beautiful windows and the two balconies. It is part of a beautiful historic building with a large, monumental stairway that leads to the second floor (about 30 steps). The best way to reach this apartment is by far with private water taxi, that will drop you off next to the entrance, otherwise in about 3 minutes’ walk from the Vaporetto stop San Marco. Beside the world-famous landmarks such as Saint Mark’s Basilica and Doge’s Palace, some of the less known but spectacular tourist attractions in the vicinity are the nearby Miracoli Church, San Giovanni e Paolo Church (perfect for a coffee on the stunning square), and Campo Santa Maria Formosa with its prestigious historic buildings. The surroundings are an infinite source of inspiration, on every bridge or “fondamenta” the view is truly Venetian. As you walk in, you will immediately understand that this is a real house, not an impersonal tourist accommodation. A spacious, bright, and cosy living room perfectly blends contemporary style furniture with the antique wooden beams, the natural “fishbone” parquet flooring, and the beautiful antique leaded glass windows. It communicates through an arched portal with an elegant tailor-made wooden kitchen, well equipped with all sort of appliances and large enough to comfortably fit a table for 6 people. You can enjoy the canal view also from the balcony of the kitchen, large enough for a chair and a tiny table. View of Gondolas sliding through and pleasant serenades are guaranteed here. The owner furnished the Da Vinci with charming Fortuny lighting fixtures which confer a classy feeling to the environment. The living area is connected to the bedrooms though a bright corridor. There are 3 bedrooms: the master bedroom with en-suite bathroom is particularly spacious and comfortable, with large closet and bathtub (please note that the en-suite bathroom doesn’t have doors). The second bedroom is large enough for 2 single beds that can be used also as double, on request. The third bedroom has been conceived by the owner as TV room/office/library, therefore it has been equipped with a double pull-out bed instead of normal bed: we suggest this room for children or singles. The beautiful second bathroom is equipped with large shower cabin and a beautiful washbasin. In case your group is composed of 5 or 6 people there is also a comfortable daybed with real mattress in the living room, perfectly suitable for adults. The amenities of this house include air conditioning system, independent heating system, Wi-Fi internet connection, Smart Hub TV, dishwasher, oven, professional gas burners stoves, compact fridge and freezer, microwave, kettle, toaster, hairdryer, washing machine, etc. The apartment has very good cross-ventilation, resulting pleasant also during the hottest summer days, therefore you will probably do not need to use the air conditioning system often. We suggest the Da Vinci apartment to adult couples or families with responsible children, be it for week-end escapes or long-term stays. We only ask you to take care of it as if it was your own home.
