Our Cannaregio hideaway is recently restored and located in the North Ð West side of Venice called Cannaregio. This area, thanks to its location benefits of a really authentic Venetian atmosphere and is just off the most tourist beaten tracks. For this reason is not crowded in comparison with other areas of Venice. That's good. You have the location but not the people! If you are a slightly larger group it can be rented with out other Venice place, Tre Archi, which is located in the same block.
Apartment Cannaregio is located in a small old building just along a Venice canal. In the past this group of houses used to be called "Barchesse" (wings) of a Palazzo of the XVIth Century. The independent entrance of the apartment is just in front of the side walk of the canal. A forged iron gate leads to a small court where you will find a table and chairs available for the guests, and great for a cigar and amaro. The apartment is 51 sq meters large and it is on the ground floor.

Venice is amazing. Sure, you know it is a place of water and old homes, tiny streets and marble bridges. But it doesn't matter how many pictures you have seen, postcards received or documentaries watched - you can never grasp how amazing this place is until seeing for yourself. Like Mecca for the East, Venice must be seen once before you die. Here instead of walking circles around the Koran, you are forever crossing little bridges in a place where a circle is not possible. A city fashioned on a base of many, many islands, with 177 canals and more than 400 bridges connecting all the streets. With Venice if you plan on getting lost, this will be your first success. You soon discover that this town is the great achievement of Italian confusion. Arty, yes. Logical, no. It is an adult's labyrinth - a dense maze of tiny streets that begin and end without names and cross over hundreds of small waterways via small identical footbridges. So get a map (little help), brush up on your Italian (little English spoken here) and have a load of lire for the water buses or taxis which stop along the Grand Canal. One of the best parts of walking this city is there ARE NO Vespas! Hooray.
Touring Ideas:
You are in town. You can also take a train from the Venice station to many places, including Croatia, Slovenia, Austria.
