Reserve Your Ringside Seat for a Bird’s Eye View on Venice…


Presenting one of the most iconic vistas in the entire Serenissima, to be enjoyed from the calm and privacy of your place above the crowds


Occupying a fabulous spot right above the buzzing Riva Degli Schiavoni waterfront between St. Mark’s Square and the Arsenale/Biennale pavilions in the district of Castello, and sharing the long, wide and often sunny promenade with a host of well-known Venice hotels, the newly introduced Ca’ Del Santo sleeps four in comfort on the 4th (top) floor reached by lift.


Moments from the magnificent Church of La Pietà and, for Venice aficionados and foodies, literally steps away from the highly acclaimed Ristorante Al Covo, the apartment is spacious, contemporary and simplicity itself.


Warm cosy wood sets the scene, while accommodation comprises an attractive sitting room with plenty of seating, a desk area, air-conditioning** and glazed doors opening on to the fabulous south-facing furnished terrace; a dining room seating six leading to a compact yet well-equipped kitchen; a simple double bedroom with built-in wardrobes and a French-size bed, and a roomy second bedroom with 2 singles.


The shower room sits just off the sitting room, while the bathroom* next to the double bedroom is decked out entirely in wood and has a small spa bathtub.


A washing machine is also available for added convenience.


*A point on privacy - please bear in mind that this bathroom is only accessible via the double bedroom



OUR COMMENT


A simply styled apartment with an incredible view!


Gaze across the boat-traversed waters of the Bacino di San Marco, taking in a jaw-dropping outlook that stretches all the way from leafy Giardini and the Lido to the east, across to the domes of Santa Maria Della Salute and St. Mark’s Campanile to the west, and the islands of San Giorgio Maggiore and Giudecca to the fore.


Within walking distance of all the world-famous sights of St. Mark’s Square and the San Marco district or, in fascinating contrast, to the beguilingly sleepy backwaters of Castello with its traditional neighbourhood vibe.


A super base to pop back to for a break during the day, and only moments and one bridge away from the vaporetto (water bus) stop at Arsenale for easy travel around the city and to the Lido.

Also handy for the Alilaguna boat stop connecting Arsenale with Venice’s Marco Polo Airport.
