AQUA APARTMENTS, Venice

The apartments are tucked behind a busy street, offering an exceptionally peaceful setting while still being a 1-minute walk from cafes, shops, and the main thoroughfares. Rialto Bridge is 7 minutes on foot, and St. Mark's Square is about 15 minutes away. The Ca' d'Oro vaporetto stop is a 10-minute walk, providing easy access to the islands of Murano and Burano. The property features a private pier for direct water-taxi arrival from the airport (15-20 minutes) or from anywhere in Venice. For airport - public connection, Alilaguna blue line from Fondamente Nove (45 minutes + 10-minute walk) or ACTV Aerobus to Piazzale Roma (25 minutes) then vaporetto line 1 to Ca' d'Oro.

The apartments are beautifully decorated in a modern industrial-chic style with high-quality materials and appliances. They are spacious for Venice, with enough room to open large suitcases comfortably. Bedrooms feature comfortable mattresses, extra pillows, and blackout curtains. Bathrooms are all with showers (no bathtubs) and are described as top-notch. Kitchens are fully equipped with stovetop, refrigerator, dishwasher, kettle, Nespresso machine, cookware, and utensils. In-unit washer and dryer are a practical bonus. One-bedroom apartments can accommodate up to 4 guests with a double sofa bed in the living room; two-bedroom apartments sleep up to 6. Some apartments have a private patio or access to the shared common patio overlooking the canal - those with canal views offer a private deck or terrace. All apartments are non-smoking and furnished with hypoallergenic materials. Air conditioning is adjustable and effective. The quiet location ensures a good night's sleep; road-facing noise is not an issue.

There is no restaurant, bar, or breakfast option at Aqua Apartments. Each apartment has a full kitchen (stovetop, fridge, dishwasher, kettle, coffee maker, cookware) so self-catering is straightforward. A large Coop supermarket is about a 5-minute walk away, and several excellent restaurants, cicchetti bars, and bakeries are within 1-2 minutes on foot, including Trattoria La Bomba (noted for its cicchetti and wine). Many nearby dining options open late, giving flexibility for evening meals. For arrivals, the kitchen allows you to stock up on essentials easily. If you prefer a hassle-free meal, a private chef can be arranged through the property for an in-apartment Venetian dinner experience.

The shared common patio and private decks by the canal provide a serene spot to relax and watch Venetian life on the water. The property can arrange exclusive experiences such as a private cooking class (shopping at Rialto Market with a chef who then prepares dinner in your apartment) or learning to row like a gondolier. Water taxis and boat tours can be organised directly from the private pier to explore the lagoon and islands. The surrounding area is excellent for walking and the waterbus network provides easy access to further leisure options. The property itself has a sun terrace on site for soaking up the atmosphere.
