MARIANGELA ART LODGE, Venice

The apartment sits on Fondamenta Misericordia, a lively canal-side street in Cannaregio away from the main tourist crush but well-connected. It is an 8-minute walk to Ca' d'Oro, 1 km to Rialto Bridge, and under 1 km to Venezia Santa Lucia Train Station, making train arrival convenient. The surrounding area has over a dozen restaurants within a 5-minute walk, including Paradiso Perduto and Al Timon, all 0.5 km away. Venice Marco Polo Airport is 13 km away; take a water bus or shuttle from Piazzale Roma. There is no parking at the property; the nearest car access is Piazzale Roma (13-min walk), or park cheaper in Mestre and take the train. Boating is available in the canals for exploration. The Cannaregio location offers an authentic, less crowded experience while still being within easy reach of major landmarks.

The apartment has 1 living room, 2 bedrooms, and 1 bathroom with shower and bidet. There are 4 beds (likely two double/queen). The fully equipped kitchen includes a stovetop, refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, and kitchenware, plus basic pantry staples (salt, sugar, coffee, tea). Additional amenities: washing machine, ironing facilities, flat-screen TV, parquet floors, work desk, outdoor furniture on the terrace, and a dining table. Air conditioning is located in the middle room between the two bedrooms; the bedrooms rely on that unit for cooling. The apartment is non-smoking throughout, with heating and parquet floors. The building has an authentic Venetian character with an antique entrance; the apartment features many books, paintings, and quirky architecture. The rooftop terrace offers garden views and is quiet despite the lively street below. The accommodation is well-suited for families, providing spacious living and a well-stocked kitchen. Beds are comfortable and the apartment is clean.

There is no restaurant or breakfast service on site. The full kitchen (stovetop, refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, cookware) allows guests to prepare their own meals. A minimarket on site provides basic groceries. The immediate area is packed with dining options: Paradiso Perduto, A la Virtu, Ae Bricoe, Osteria Al Mariner, Orient Experience, A La Vecia Papussa, Arte Della Pizza, and Al Timon - all within a 3-minute walk. These range from traditional Venetian to international. The apartment also provides basic pantry staples (salt, sugar, coffee, tea) for convenience. For those preferring to cook, the kitchen includes everything needed for full meals.

The sun terrace on the roof provides garden views and a quiet spot for reading or sunbathing, despite the lively area below. For water-based leisure, boating (e.g., gondola or kayak rentals) is available in the surrounding canals of Cannaregio. The apartment's artistic atmosphere (books, paintings) also makes it a pleasant place for quiet indoor leisure. No pool, spa, or gym facilities are present.
