Marble & Wood

Holiday Rental Description

A ten-minute walk from Santa Lucia train station, arriving in Venice doesn’t get much easier than at this charming apartment. After dropping your luggage, head out to the streets around you to discover quiet waterways and secret alleys packed with gelaterias, knick-knack shops and chi chi little bars. Venice’s top sights are within walking (or gondola) distance, like the Rialto Bridge (fifteen minutes) and the Academia Gallery (twenty minutes).

Inside, shining marble floors and wooden ceilings are a nod to old-world Venice, and the plush sitting room is a soothing natural palette of cream, wood and stone. History is right on your doorstep, and you’ve got a view of the sleepy Campo and Rio de San Degolà church. Bedrooms are super spacious for this close to the centre of Venice. The kitchen has everything you need to knock up a decent meal, but you might prefer to explore the culinary scene of Venice, which starts on your very street.

Home truths:
*Venice is a car-free city so there is no parking with this home, but there is a water taxi stop very close by
*Be prepared to carry your luggage across a small bridge to reach this apartment
*The second bed is a French double, which is slightly smaller than a standard double
*The washer and dryer are located in a communal ground floor laundry room and operated by coins
*Upon arrival, a representative will meet you at the Vaporetto stop – water taxi point – and accompany you to the property where they’ll check you in, and provide any assistance you should need
*The sofa is not the most comfortable to lounge and relax on
