The San Marco apartment is on the second floor of a beautiful, ancient palazzo in Venice. It is located between the Rialto Bridge and St. Mark's (less than 1,000 ft. from Saint Mark's Square) in a busy area of the very center of Venice. The palace dates back to the fourteenth century and was completely restored in 1984-85 by the world-famous Italian architect Gae Aulenti. The street is lined with designer shops with glamorous window displays. Sightseeing is at hand in every direction making it simple to return home occasionally to rest before stepping out again. A wide variety of fine restaurants are within easy walking distance of 5 minutes or less.
Enter the palazzo through the elegant entryway, where there is a doorman and security booth. Walk up the massive red-carpeted marble stairs or take the lift, if you prefer. This is a corner apartment on the second and third floors. It gives the impression, with its high ceilings, windows and mirrors, of soaring space and gleaming elegance in a compact space.
The furnishings are eclectic with sleek modernity mixed with priceless antiques. On the main floor, there are a living/dining room with TV, a tiny kitchenette, washing machine and a bathroom with shower and bidet. On the upper floor, there are two loft bedrooms, one with a single bed and one with a large double bed. The second bathroom is accessed from the single-bedded loft room. There is an additional roll-away bed downstiars, but this apartment is best for a couple or a family where sleeping privacy is not required. This is a bustling area and it is very important that this apartment is air-conditioned, so you can keep the windows closed in the warmer months to help protect you from noise at night. |
