About this property

Corte della Pietà is a cosy brand-new one-bedroom apartment on the 1st floor of a 16th cent. building located next to the San Francesco della Vigna church with its Palladian façade, in a corner of Venice which has kept so far its Venetian character.
It is an ideal place to visit Venice, with Saint-Mark Square, the Rialto and the Biennale Gardens 10 minutes away walking, while protected from the main tourist flow.

The guests are alone in the apartment which is exclusively for them. It includes a living-room with a kitchen corner and a separate bedroom , aside from a bathroom with a shower.

The apartment is located in the heart of Castello district, considered the most genuinely Venetian.
You can visit in the immediate surrounding of the apartment the Palladian monastery-church of San Francesco della Vigna, the San Giovanni e Paolo basilica, the antique Arsenal and the confraternity houses (Scuole) of San Marco and San Giorgio degli Schiavoni.
Saint-Mark Square, the Rialto and the Biennale Gardens are about 10 minutes walking from the apartment.

There are many retail shops nearby, where you can shop food and drinks.

The closest vaporetto station to the apartment is "Ospedale", which very convenient to go back and forth from the airport thru using the Alilaguna Blue Line shuttle, or to the Santa Lucia train station with vaporetti lines 41, 42, 51 and 52. Likewise, you can get a vaporetto to the Lido or to Murano every 12 minutes either at Ospedale or at Celestia vaporetti stations.
You need to walk about 10 minutes to go to Fondamente Nove vaporetti station to catch a boat to visit the lagoon islands (Torcello, Burano, Sant'Erasmo, ecc.).
It also takes about 10 minutes to walk to Piazza San Marco and to the Rialto Bridge.

"The owners of this prope...

"The owners of this property are friendly and caring. They respond to emails promptly and communication regarding meeting time/place was excellent. The apartment is on the 3rd floor. It is clean and a good size for 2 or 3 people. I found the convenience of the washing machine and dishwasher excellent. The kitchen is large and fully equipped. We were staying in August so the downstairs air conditioner was great but the cool air didnt really reach the upstairs area. I found the ladder style stairs awkward. Unfortunately the kids did not like the pullout futon beds and the apartment is in desperate need of some new pillows. The location of this apartment is excellent as it is close to the Vaporetto and only a short walk to Rialto. Its safe and quiet. Overall its a really good place to stay."

Schöne Dachgeschosswohnung

Die Wohnung ist so, wie beschrieben, gemütlich, gut ausgestattete Küche, hell und sehr gut gelegen, aber ein wenig in die Jahre gekommen, uns hat es allerdings nicht gestört. In ca. 10 min ist man am Markusplatz, in wenigen Min am Fondamente Nove, dem Fähranleger, von dem man super überall mit den Vaporettos hinfahren kann. Der Vermieter Pierre ist sehr nett und hilfsbereit, er hat sich sogar Zeit genommen, uns an einem Abend zu kleinen venezianischen Köstlichkeiten eingeladen.

Lage Top, Apartment Na ja

Das Apartment liegt sehr zentral an einer Vaporetto Haltestelle. Man kommt von dort aus überall hin. Das Apartment selbst ist etwas schmuddelig. Die Bettwäsche hat Flecken, die Dusche ist sehr eng und auch schmutzig. Die Duschstange ist defekt. Wir haben uns in dem Apartment nicht sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Kommunikation mit dem Vermieter war zu jeder Zeit sehr gut. Mein Fazit: Vielleicht eher was für junge Leute ohne Ansprüche.

Excellent apartment at a very good location

The best part is location, just 5 minutes walk to Rialto bridge, water bus station and 7 minutes walk to St Marks square. Murano is only 15 minutes from water bus station. The owner is an excellent person and very flexible. He made our stay memorable. We have absolutely no issue for the 2 nights we stayed. The house is equipped with everything with good qantity .The only problem is the apartment is at 4th floor and no lift. I always dreamed of staying in such kind of house. Thanks for making our stay a memorable one.

About the host

Hosted by Pier

I happen to be an environmental engineer, who has been living and working in Venice since 1996. I actually came to prepare a tender for a remediation project, thinking I would stay for a week but I am still around 18years later.

I am passionated for the old stones of this paradise of all cities, its culture and its history. Venice is actually a center of civilization, just like London or Paris are, but true Venetians have also an islander bias.

Why they chose this property

Renting this apartment just helps me to keep on living in Venice, with rising living costs due to the pressure of global tourism. This pressure, combined with the fact it is an island and therefore that everything needs to be transported by boats does result in everything being expensive, especially the costs of maintaining a house.

What makes this property unique

The key advantage of this apartment is its location, in an area aside from the touristic flow, still peopled by Venetians (there are 2 gondoliers living in the building).
A few celebrities, including Casanova, Goldoni, and, surprisingly enough, Nietzsche, used to live in the same street - Calle della Testa.
There is a bakery and a supermarket less than 100 m away, together with local pubs still patronized by Venetians. It takes less than 10 minutes walking to Rialto and to San Marco Square.
Just round the corner, you will find the San Giovanni e Paolo church, which is the Westminster of Venetians, full of graves of Doges, heroes of the Serenissima like Marcantonio Bragadin, governor of Cyprus, who fought the Ottomans to the last shortly before Lepanto, or the Bandiera Brothers of the Risorgimento. But also filled with masterpieces of Titian, Bellini, Vivarini, Veronese, Palma and other artists.

You will appreciate having a cappucino at Rosa Salva on Campo San Giovanni e Paolo, while having a look at the equestrian statue of Coleoni, a proud 15th century condottiere who would have been a general anywhere anytime.

Access from and to the airport is really easy through the Fondamente Nuove vaporetti station which is the closest to the apartment, less than 5 minutes walking. The same for visiting the lagoon islands, of which I recommend Torcello and Burano.
