APPARTAMENTO RIALTO LAURA, Venice

Appartamento Rialto Laura sits in the heart of Venice's historic centre, with Rialto Bridge a 2-minute walk away and Piazza San Marco 600 m from the door. Basilica San Marco is 500 m, Doge's Palace and Ca' d'Oro are each 7 minutes on foot, and La Fenice Theatre is 700 m. The area is lively with shops, restaurants, and a renowned gelateria directly outside. Santa Lucia train station is 22 minutes on foot or a short ACTV water bus ride (line 2 to Rialto stop). Venice Marco Polo Airport is 18 km away. Moving through the city is entirely pedestrian - no car access is possible, and paid parking is available only on the mainland before entering the island.

The private apartment includes one bedroom with a double bed, a separate living room with a sofa and flat-screen TV, and a fully equipped kitchenette with a stovetop, refrigerator, kitchenware, tea and coffee maker, and electric kettle. The bathroom has a shower, bidet, and hairdryer. Parquet or tiled floors are throughout, and the unit is air-conditioned and heated. The apartment is on the first floor (12 steps up, no lift). Rooms face a busy pedestrian lane - the street is vibrant during the day but quiets down at night, making it suitable for light sleepers. The unit is adults-only and non-smoking, with no balcony available.

There is no restaurant at Appartamento Rialto Laura. Breakfast is not included, but the kitchenette allows you to prepare your own morning meal. The immediate area offers a wide choice of dining: Trattoria Aquila Nera, Osteria Al Portego, Rosticceria Gislon, and Da Mamo are all within a 5-minute walk, plus bar Novo for coffee and Suso Gelatoteca for gelato. For a traditional Venetian meal, I Rusteghi Osteria Enoteca is also nearby.

Instead, the location provides immediate access to Venice's main attractions: Rialto Bridge, St. Mark's Square, Doge's Palace, and Ca' d'Oro are all within a 10-minute walk. Boating is available in the surroundings, ideal for exploring the canals. The apartment's central spot also puts the Frari Basilica (13-minute walk) and La Fenice Theatre (700 m) within easy reach.
