About this property
Venetian Apartment in Historic Castello District
Experience the charm of the most historical part of Venice from this beautifully restored first-floor apartment in the authentic Castello district.
Combining traditional Venetian character with modern comforts, the Petrarca apartment offers the perfect base for families, couples, and small groups looking to immerse themselves in local Venetian life.
Ideally located, the apartment is just a 10-minute walk from St Mark's Square and the Rialto Bridge, while the nearest vaporetto (water bus) stop is only 3 minutes away on foot, providing easy access to all areas of the city. The surrounding streets offer a selection of local grocery stores, supermarkets, cafés, and restaurants.
Castello is renowned for its genuine Venetian atmosphere, away from the busiest tourist routes. In recent years, the district has become increasingly popular with artists, architects, collectors, and cultural travellers thanks to its proximity to the main exhibition venues of the Venice Biennale.

•A fully equipped kitchen with a large dining table
•Two bathrooms, one with a bathtub and one with a shower
•A spacious master bedroom with ample wardrobe space
•A second bedroom with two single beds
•A smaller living room with TV and a double sofa bed, ideal for children or teenagers
•A generous central entrance hall connecting all rooms
The interiors showcase an elegant blend of family-owned antiques and contemporary furnishings, complemented by beautiful Venetian flooring and original architectural details that create a warm and distinctive atmosphere.
For your comfort, the apartment is equipped with an efficient air conditioning system, heating system, complimentary Wi-Fi, TV, washing machine, dishwasher, oven, microwave, kettle, Nespresso coffee machine, hairdryer and everything else you may need also for an extended stay.
Whether you are visiting Venice for sightseeing, cultural events, or simply to enjoy the city's timeless beauty, the Petrarca apartment offers a comfortable and characterful home in one of Venice's most fascinating neighbourhoods.
