Hotel Details

Location

In Castello, steps from vaporetto stops and a 10-minute walk from Piazza San Marco; a quiet yet central base for exploring Venice.
The apartments sit in the historic Castello district, a short walk from Basilica San Marco (900 m), Doge's Palace (less than 1 km), and Piazza San Marco (1 km). The nearest vaporetto stop is about 7 minutes away, making it easy to reach from the airport (Marco Polo, 18 km) or train station. Despite the central location, the area is notably quiet, with a large square in front of the building for relaxing. A well-stocked supermarket is steps away, and several restaurants, pizzerias, and cafés are within a 2-5 minute walk. Boating activities are also available nearby. The location scores highly for walkability and convenience, suiting both Biennale visitors and city-break travellers.

Accommodation

Modern, air-conditioned apartments with private bathroom, fully equipped kitchen, terrace, and washing machine; some offer views of St. Mark's Clock Tower.
Each apartment features a private bathroom (with shower or bath, hairdryer), a fully equipped kitchen (stovetop, oven, dishwasher, microwave, refrigerator, coffee machine, electric kettle, toaster, kitchenware), and a seating area with a sofa and flat-screen TV. Air conditioning, heating, a washing machine, and ironing facilities are standard. Units range from one-bedroom to two-bedroom layouts, accommodating up to 5-6 people. Some apartments include a terrace. The interiors are recently renovated and spacious, with modern furnishings. Certain upper-floor apartments have views over Venetian rooftops or of St. Mark's Clock Tower. Note that there is no lift, so apartments on higher floors (up to the 4th) require stair climbing. Rooms are non-smoking throughout.

Dining

No restaurant on site; each apartment has a full kitchen for self-catering, and a large supermarket is located right next to the building.
City Apartments Biennale does not have a restaurant or breakfast service. Each apartment is equipped with a full kitchen including an oven, stovetop, dishwasher, refrigerator, microwave, and coffee/tea facilities, allowing convenient self-catering. A large, well-stocked supermarket is adjacent to the building, and a smaller grocery is a 3-4 minute walk away. Numerous restaurants, pizzerias, and cafés are within a few minutes' walk, including Trattoria da Remigio (0.5 km) and Liassidi Bar (0.5 km), offering a range of dining options outside the apartment.

Wellness and Leisure

No spa or swimming pool; the quiet square in front of the building provides a peaceful outdoor space for relaxation.
There is no spa, wellness centre, or swimming pool on the property. The apartments are located in a quiet residential area with a large open square directly in front of the building, where benches offer a relaxing setting for sunbathing or quiet downtime. For leisure activities, the Biennale exhibition centre and the historic attractions of San Marco are within easy walking distance. Boating is available in the surroundings for those wanting to explore the waterways.

Facilities and Services

Free Wi-Fi in public areas, luggage storage available, no pets, no parking, and no lift. Host can meet guests at the vaporetto stop.
Wi-Fi is available free of charge in public areas. The property offers luggage storage after check-out, which is useful for exploring before departure. The host can arrange to meet guests at the vaporetto station and assist with luggage to the apartment, a helpful service given the lack of a lift. There is no parking available, no airport shuttle, and no on-site restaurant or spa. Pets are not allowed, and the entire property is non-smoking. Accepted payment methods are Visa and MasterCard. Some apartments are on upper floors with no lift, so mobility-impaired guests should request a ground-floor or lower-level unit if available.
