Throughout your stay, it is Anna, the owner, who will guide you and help you at every opportunity. Anna is efficient, distinguished and a great listener. She makes your stay much easier and much more special. She speaks Italian, English and French.
It is possible to get there by Anna's care, by private vaporetto (15 min) from the airport or the train station, passing through the Grand Canal and then a smaller canal. Your destination is a beautiful square, dominated by the impressive gothic church of Santi Giovanni e Paolo. Palazzo Cristo is nearby, in a 16th century Venetian palace.
The building has followed a remarkable path: from the Grimani dynasty to the Embassy of the Republic of Brescia to the Argentine Consulate. The last known inhabitant was a lonely priest who left the building over 70 years ago, long before Anna and Fred bought the property.
Today, the generous volumes of the Palazzo have been completely renovated and beautifully decorated by one of Italy's best architectural studios, which has used the best materials such as Carrara marble, travertine and rare woods to satisfy the most demanding couples. Everything is absolutely clean, neat and decorated with the utmost care.
There are 3 apartments designed for 2 people and one last apartment designed more for 4 people. Among the facilities at your disposal: wifi, flat screen TV with Netflix, Aesop home products, Frette satin bed linen, Parlux professional hair dryer, Miele and Smeg high end kitchen accessories, air conditioning throughout the apartment and floor heating.
First of all there is Suite II, on the 1st floor. A splendid 45m² apartment with double bedroom, open kitchen, living room, bathroom and typical Venetian courtyard outside. The bathroom is equipped with Devon & Devon taps, a double marble sink and a large shower. Everything is cleverly hidden in the kitchen, even a full-size washing machine and dishwasher.
Then there is Suite III, on the 2nd floor. A majestic 90m² apartment with bedroom, private bathroom, utra-modern kitchen and living room with a magnificent view of the Scuola Grande di San Smarco (a museum) and the Santi Giovanni e Paolo basilica. The bathtub houses a freestanding bathtub from Devon & Devon, made of marble composite with a silky smooth finish.
