Grazie Apartment in Venice -
Big, Bright and Central
1 Bedroom, 1 Bath, Sleeps 2 + 1
Join your Venetian neighbors
in the Campo della Maddalena where they catch up
on family and the news. Or, just watch out your
windows to see Venice go by on the Maddalena
bridge and the canal that runs underneath it.
In an 18th century building in
Cannaregio, the inviting apartment is on the third floor
American with no elevator. It is easy to reach
from the usual starting points in Venice by foot
or vaporetto (water bus). And it is also a nice
walk to the famous sites of the city.
The Grazie apartment is spacious
and welcoming. The open living room has two large
windows overlooking Ponte Maddalena. Between the
windows is a large, handsome bureau. It is
furnished with a comfortable, modern sofa bed that
can accommodate one person. When you have a chance
to settle into the apartment, you'll find charming
small decorative touches around the apartment. The
floor is terrazzo a marble conglomerate covered,
cool in the summer, carpeted in the winter.
A dining table for four
separates the living room area from the large
kitchenette and serves for additional preparation
space. The kitchen has a four burner stove top,
electric oven and small refrigerator as well as
plenty of cabinets and space for dishes, pots,
pans and preparation items that are there for your
use.
The bedroom, also large and
luminous with a view of the Maddalena canal, is
charmingly old fashioned and romantic. The head
and footboards are beautiful antiques that have
been joined to accommodate a modern queen sized
mattress.
The large bathroom has a new, modern
shower as well as a washing machine. A clothes
line is just outside the windows. The bathroom
overlooks the Maddalena canal that hosts smaller
boats. You can watch the boats go by as you shave.
We have inspected this apartment. Our
opinion:
-
Super
location for getting around.
-
The
Cannaregio area is a neighborhood of its own
worth exploring.
-
The
apartment has a homey Italian character.
-
The
owner lives next door and does not intrude on
his guests but also is happy to help if you
need it. He has a nice little cocker spaniel
and also smokes. If you are really allergic to
smoke, stay away, but we are sensitive to both
smoke and dog dander and didn't smell
cigarettes while we photographed, nor did we
react which we would if the dog spent time in
the apartment.
-
The
calle outside is on a main route through the
city so you will likely hear passing
foot traffic as well as gondolas and boats
passing through the canals. No cars, however!
