The arrival

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.

Palazzo Cristo a truly worthwhile place to stay in Venice, especially if you are looking for a surprising alternative to a Hotel 5* . If you are celebrating a special occasion, you will love it and may never want to leave! It is simply too beautiful.

 

A historic residence

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 reclusive 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.

 

The apartments

There are three apartments designed for two people and one apartment designed for four people.

1 • First, Suite II, on the 1st floor, offers 45 square meters of space, including a double bedroom, an open-concept kitchen, a living room, a bathroom, and a traditional Venetian courtyard outside. The bathroom features a double marble sink and a large shower. Everything is ingeniously concealed in the kitchen, including a washing machine and a full-size dishwasher • Photo • Photo

2 • Suite III, which is slightly larger, is located on the 2nd floor. It features a bedroom, a private bathroom, an ultra-modern kitchen, and a living room offering a magnificent view of the Scuola Grande di San Smarco (a museum) and the Basilica of Santi Giovanni e Paolo. The bathtub is made of a marble composite with a silky-smooth finish • Photo • Photo
