MELUSINA APARTMENTS RIALTO VENICE HISTORICAL CENTER, Venice

This central location puts the main attractions-Basilica San Marco, Doge's Palace, and the Grand Canal-within easy walking distance. The Rialto Mercato water-bus stop is a 1-2 minute walk, providing direct connections to the train station and airport water shuttle. The area is quiet despite its centrality, with numerous restaurants, cafés, and a grocery store (Coop) right below the building. The market (Mercato di Rialto) is also steps away. Parking is not available on site; cars should be left at Piazzale Roma or Tronchetto, where the People Mover and vaporetto connect to the property. The cruise ship docks are about 15 minutes by water taxi.
