PAPA PAOLO II, Venice

Papa Paolo II sits in a prime central location just 700 metres from both St Mark's Square and Doge's Palace, placing all major historic attractions within easy walking distance. The San Zaccaria vaporetto terminal is a short stroll away, giving direct waterbus connections to the Rialto, the Biennale grounds, Murano and the airport via the Alilaguna line. Despite the central position, the street is notably quiet, offering a calm retreat from the crowds. Within a 5-minute radius you will find a supermarket (Supermercato Bailo), a bakery, and at least eight restaurants and cafés. Venice Marco Polo Airport is 18 km away; the recommended approach is a waterbus from San Zaccaria or a taxi to Piazzale Roma followed by a vaporetto.

The apartment accommodates up to 4 guests across two separate bedrooms and a living room with a sofa bed (total 4 beds). The layout includes a private entrance, a living room with dining area, and a well-fitted kitchen with a stovetop, refrigerator, dishwasher and cookware. The private bathroom features a walk-in shower, bidet and hairdryer. The property is equipped with air conditioning, heating, soundproof walls, a flat-screen TV, and a washing machine. A classic Bialetti coffee maker and tea/coffee facilities are provided. The highlight is the private terrace with garden views and a balcony - ideal for outdoor dining or relaxing with a drink. The building dates from around 1790, giving the apartment an authentic Venetian character with period charm. The host offers assistance with luggage up the stairs, which is useful as there is no lift.

Papa Paolo II does not have a restaurant, bar or room service. Guests can prepare meals in the fully equipped kitchen - stovetop, refrigerator, dishwasher, cookware and dishwasher - and eat on the private terrace or balcony. Several highly rated restaurants and cafés are within a 2-3 minute walk: Cantina Schiavoni, C'e Pizza E Pizza, Met Restaurant, Pasticceria Alla Bragora, Local, Osteria Alla Rampa, Osteria Oliva Nera and Osteria Alla Bandiera, covering pizza, seafood, Venetian cuisine and pastries. A supermarket (Supermercato Bailo) and a bakery are 5 minutes on foot, ideal for stocking up on breakfast supplies and groceries.

The property does not feature a swimming pool, spa, wellness centre or gym. Leisure options centre on the private terrace and balcony, which offer garden views and a tranquil spot for morning coffee, al fresco meals or evening drinks. For recreation, guests are steps away from the historic centre, the Biennale grounds and the vaporetto network that accesses the lagoon islands.
