CA' MIRO, Venice

The apartment enjoys an exceptional location rating, placing it in Venice's top area, and is unusually practical for a car-free trip. The Riva vaporetto water-bus stop is just about 50 m away, giving direct canal access across the city and to the islands. The Rialto Bridge is a pleasant 14-minute stroll, while Basilica San Marco and Doge's Palace are roughly 1.7-2 km away - a 20-25 minute walk through the neighbourhood. The train station link makes arrivals and departures straightforward, and for airport connections, the Alilaguna water bus from Marco Polo Airport (13 km) stops nearby. The immediate area is pedestrian-friendly with several restaurants and trattorias within 0.3-0.5 km, including Antica Bessetta and Pizzeria Trattoria all'Anfora. The streets are quiet enough for a restful evening yet central enough to reach everything on foot.

The apartment covers two levels, providing separate sleeping and living zones. The main bedroom is part of an open-plan layout (the bedroom is not enclosed by a door), so sounds travel between the floors - consider earplugs if light sleepers share the space. Parquet floors, garden furniture, and a sitting area add to the comfortable feel. The private terrace offers garden and city views, ideal for relaxing after a day exploring. A balcony is available on select dates, so check availability when booking. The well-equipped kitchen includes a dishwasher, electric kettle, cookware, and a dining table, making self-catering easy. A work desk, ironing facilities, and a washing machine add practicality. Heating is available in winter, and the apartment has a safety deposit box. For families, board games and cots are available on request.

There is no on-site restaurant or breakfast service, so plan to shop for groceries or dine out. The kitchen is fully equipped with a dishwasher, electric kettle, cookware, and a washing machine, making it convenient to prepare meals and store food. A number of highly rated restaurants are within a very short walk, including Antica Bessetta (0.5 km) and Pizzeria Trattoria all'Anfora (0.5 km), as well as several others 0.5 km away - Osteria La Zucca, Al Brindisi, and Trattoria Bar Pontini. This makes it easy to enjoy a variety of local cuisine without needing to travel far.

The property does not include a spa or swimming pool, focusing instead on the spacious apartment and its private terrace as a leisure spot. Board games are available for family entertainment indoors. For more recreational options, the surrounding area offers boating activities, and Venice's entire cultural and leisure scene is within walking distance or a short vaporetto ride away.

WiFi is free throughout the apartment. Luggage storage is available after check-out, which is particularly useful for late flights - the host can hold bags so you can explore Venice unencumbered. Check-in is private, with the host meeting you at the apartment by arrangement between 14:00 and 20:00. The host is known for being responsive and providing local tips. There is no elevator to the apartment; it is on an upper floor, so consider this if carrying heavy luggage. An invoice is provided upon request. The property is non-smoking throughout, and pets are not allowed. Accepted payment methods include Visa, JCB, Maestro, UnionPay, and MasterCard. Safety features include a safety deposit box, smoke alarms, a fire extinguisher, and key access.
