Il Monastero

Holiday Rental Description

Housed in what was once the monastery attached to the Church of San Zan Degolà – one of Venice’s oldest – this comfortable apartment puts you in a peaceful spot from which to enjoy the city’s most historic sights.

Peacefully located to the rear of the building with views over the scenic street below and towards the back garden of Venice’s Natural History Museum at the Fondaco Dei Turchi, you’ll have no trouble making yourself at home here and enjoying a relaxing time.

Featuring a blend of modern and classic decor, the living area invites you to kick back on the sofa with a glass of Italian wine after a day of exploring, while the sunny kitchen is all set to get your day off on the right foot over breakfast at the dining table. In the evenings, head downstairs to the shared terrace for a sundowner before enjoying a meal in one of the local restaurants. Then retreat to the elegantly simple bedroom at the end of the night for a restful night’s sleep.

When it comes to sightseeing, your Santa Croce neighbourhood provides a taste of local Venetian life, with casual eateries serving global cuisine and a plethora of beautiful gardens and museums to discover. The Ca' Pesaro International Gallery of Modern Art is a five-minute walk, the romantic Rialto Bridge is a ten-minute stroll, while the Basilica di Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari is eight minutes away on foot.
