Our base for a week - the Campo San Trovaso apartment in Venice is one of the best places we have ever rented in Europe. The beautiful apartment, located in central but quiet position, immersed in the mystic atmosphere of Venice, offers its guests serene, silent and welcoming surroundings. The apartment located on the second floor (European first) in the 3-storey house, in the quiet and charming area of Dorsoduro, only a few steps from San Trovaso Church and the Zattere promenade on the lagoon. Location could not be better - on a quiet canal Ria Ognissanti (All Saints) near the Squero di San Trovaso - a picturesque gondola-maker’s workshop, one of the most significant sites in Venice. It is here that gondolas are made and repaired by skilled craftsmen, whose art has been handed down from father to son since the 17th century.
From the apartment its guests can easily get to the famous Venice’s landmarks: just 15 minutes walk from Piazza S. Marco, 5 minutes on foot from Madonna della Salute, and the Accademia delle Belle Arti is 200 m away. Boat stop "Zattere" with services to the railway station and Piazza Sam Marco 150 m. The Billa supermarket, the cheapest and the best in Venice, is only 300 m away.
The 3-room apartment, is huge by the Venetian standards, 90 square meters. This charming property has been furnished and equipped to meet high standards. The high ceilings, comfortable furniture, outdoor terrace and airy rooms create a very relaxing environment. First you see the entrance hall with dining table and TV (local channels). Small living room with balcony overlooking the canal.
First bedroom with two beds. Master bedroom has queen bed and exit to the terrace. On the terrace there is a table, four chairs, and a sunshade overlooking the alley and the Rio Ognissanti canal. The terrace offers fantastic view over the picturesque canal and the neighbor palaces. You can spend hours drinking your coffee / wine / tea / having meal and watching as the world goes by. Fully equipped kitchen with oven, microwave and fridge. Lovely decorated bathroom with bath , shower, bidet, washing machine and WC. Second WC (separate).
A word of advice – if you decided to stay here then book the apartment several months in advance.
