The Alighieri âAâ is one of the four apartments comprising the whole top floor of an historical Palazzo located in the west side of the Castello District, only a few minutesâ walk from San Marco Square.
It is a charming top-floor studio apartment accessible by elevator and from a very bright and elegant shared entrance hall giving on to the large communal terraces.
It is compact yet elegantly furnished with a modern full-optional kitchen and a luxury mosaic marble bathroom with fancy shower cabin. There are two single beds that can be also used as king size bed, on request. A library separates the bed from the sitting area where a sofa-bed can be found, while built-in cabinets offer plenty of storage space also for a long-term stay. There Wi-Fi, air-conditioning, washing machine, dishwasher, oven, fridge, electric stoves, kettle, etc.
The entire property has been completely and luxuriously refurbished in 2013: the elevator has been installed, the original Venetian Terrazzo flooring renovated, frescoes and stuccoes brought back to the ancient splendour, the spacious terrace has been equipped with table, sunshade and sun chairs.
The building is accessible by private water taxi from the airport in only 20 minutes and it takes less than 5 minutesâ walk to reach the Vaporetto/Alilaguna (ferry boat) stop San Zaccaria, thus very central.
In the surroundings there are lots of artisan and antique ateliers, local food shops and delicious osterie (traditional restaurants). Some of the cultural landmarks that can be found close by in Castello beside the well-known Arsenale and Biennale Gardens include Basilica Santi Giovanni e Paolo, Scuola di San Giorgio degli Schiavoni, Church of San Giorgio dei Greci, Campo Santa Maria Formosa, Church of San Zaccaria and many others.
The Alighieri "A" can also be combined with the Alighieri âBâ, âCâ and/or âDâ, located on the same floor and more spacious. We called this combination of apartments Palazzo Alighieri: a perfect accommodation solution for groups that aim for maximum privacy or for family reunions with well-behaved children.
