The Cannaregio sestiere of Central Venice is a lively district with
a very authentic Venetian atmosphere. Attractions include the Church of San Giobbe,
decorated with the works of Tuscan artists like Luca della Robbia, and the Ca'
d'Oro, considered to be the most striking example of Venetian Gothic architecture.
At the heart of Cannaregio is the Ghetto, where the entire Jewish population of
Venice was required to live from sunset to sunrise for almost three hundred years.
Explore one of the world's most unique cities on foot or by vaporetto (Venetian
water bus). Visit the beach or the islands of Murano, Burano, Torcello, and San
Michele.
You will feel like a native as you shop in open-air markets and dine in
small local restaurants. The Lucia Apartment is located just a few meters from
the Fondamenta di Cannaregio. Because there is a vaporetto stop just across the
canal from the apartment, San Marco Square and all of the attractions of Venice
are within easy reach. A ten-minute walk or ferry ride brings you to the train
station, and within five minutes' walking distance are food shops, coffee bars,
a post office, and a variety of restaurants. Delicious meals (dine-in or carry-out)
can be found at Trattoria Marisa, just next to the apartment.
The Lucia
Apartment has been newly restored, with a lovely terrace that is perfect
for relaxing after a day of exploring. The apartment is part of a gated property.
Formerly the "barchesse" ("wing") of a Palazzo, the apartments share a common
entrance as well as part of a communal garden.
This ground floor apartment
has a living room with comfortable armchairs, TV, and two sofas, one of which
can be converted into a sofa bed for an additional guest. The table in the dining
area seats up to six. An efficient kitchen corner is outfitted with a small fridge,
oven, dishwasher, toaster, kettle, and gas range. The apartment has two
bedrooms, both facing the garden. One has joinable twin beds (though is it best
to leave them as twins since the room is small) and a bathroom with shower. The
second bedroom has a divisible double bed and a bathroom with tub. The
apartment has a washing machine, ironing board and iron. There
is central heat for cooler months, when Venice is misty and magical.
The
Lucia Apartment can be rented together with the Isabella
Apartment, just across the garden.
