CASA CARLO GOLDONI BY SARLUX, Venice

The apartment is in the heart of Venice, just 80 metres from Piazza San Marco and 300 metres from Basilica San Marco. Doge's Palace and La Fenice Theatre are also within a few minutes on foot. Despite its central position, the property opens onto a peaceful inner courtyard away from the main tourist flow, so street noise is minimal. Venice Marco Polo Airport is 18 km away; the recommended route is the Alilaguna water bus (blue or red line) from the airport. For train arrivals, ACTV water bus line 2 from the station stops at Piazza San Marco. The surrounding streets are packed with excellent restaurants, takeaway pasta places, and gelaterias - several are within a 2-3 minute walk.

The apartment is spread over ground and first floors. The entrance has two steps; an internal staircase connects the levels. Downstairs is the kitchen and living room, which contains two single beds - sleeping up to five people across the two rooms. Upstairs has one bedroom with a king-size double bed and a bathroom with a private toilet and spa bath. The property is creatively decorated with original art and parquet flooring, and is kept very clean. Only one bathroom exists, which groups sharing the space should plan around. There is no balcony. Air conditioning and ceiling fans are provided on both levels. A flat-screen TV, free Wi-Fi, ironing facilities, and a safety deposit box are also included. The apartment is non-smoking throughout.

The apartment does not include a restaurant or a breakfast offering. Guests self-cater using the fully equipped kitchen, which includes a dishwasher, coffee machine, electric kettle, cookware, and basic pantry staples such as olive oil. The surrounding streets contain a high concentration of dining choices within a 1-5 minute walk, including trattorias, pizzerias, sushi, and fresh pasta to go. Venchi gelato is also nearby. For a quick morning coffee and pastry, several cafés operate in the immediate area.

The apartment includes a private hot tub and a spa bath, accessible as part of the booking. There is no separate wellness centre, gym, sauna, or swimming pool on-site. The hot tub is a notable addition for guests wanting a relaxing soak after a day exploring Venice's streets and canals.

Wi-Fi is free throughout the apartment. A washing machine is available for guest use, which is convenient for longer stays. The host provides a detailed arrival video and a large printout with local recommendations and a map - useful because standard GPS may not pinpoint the exact entrance in the alleyways. Luggage storage is offered after checkout, so you can leave bags and return before heading to the airport or station. Air conditioning and heating are both free. The property accepts American Express, Visa, Maestro, and MasterCard. Pets are allowed on request with potential additional charges.
