CASA DEL MELOGRANO, Venice

The property is in a residential part of Cannaregio, away from the heaviest tourist crowds, yet within a short walk of Strada Nova with its shops, cafés, and restaurants. The San Marcuola vaporetto station is about a minute away, giving direct access along the Grand Canal and to Piazzale Roma (the bus terminal) and the train station (Santa Lucia), both within a 5-15 minute walk. Several restaurants, pizzerias, and a gelateria are within 300 metres, making dining easy without having to go to the busier centre. The Casino Servizi Venezia is 100 metres from the property. For those wanting to explore further, the water bus stop provides direct connections to many main sights.

Rooms come with en suite bathroom with shower, air conditioning, flat-screen TV, and free toiletries. Some rooms overlook the canal or the private garden. Single rooms are available, as well as larger double and twin rooms. Apartments include a kitchenette (stovetop, fridge, microwave) and some have a washing machine and separate living area. Apartments can have 1 or 2 bedrooms, comfortably sleeping up to 3-4 people, and some offer river or city views. All accommodation features heating and an outdoor dining area in select units. Luggage storage is available free of charge. Daily housekeeping is provided, including in the apartments. Certain rooms and apartments are basic in style but clean and functional. Garden-facing rooms tend to be quieter, while canal-view rooms offer a classic Venetian setting.

The property does not have a restaurant or bar. Breakfast is available but only as an optional service; you must check with the property at the time of booking to see if it is offered. In warmer months, breakfast is set up in the enclosed garden. A full kitchen is available in the apartments, allowing self-catering. The surrounding streets (within 2-3 minutes' walk) have numerous restaurants, pizzerias, and cafés, including Osteria dei Sapori, Serenissima Pizzeria, and Maddelena, all about 300 metres away. The host can provide dining recommendations.

The property has a private enclosed garden with outdoor seating and a picnic area - a rare feature in central Venice. It is a quiet space suitable for relaxing with a drink or a book. There is no spa, gym, swimming pool, or other wellness facility on site. The garden is also where breakfast is served in summer.

Free Wi-Fi is available in every room. Luggage storage is offered free of charge, which is helpful for early arrivals or late departures.
