The Alighieri “B” is a truly exquisite top floor with spectacular canal views, spacious sunny terrace, accessible by elevator.



It is one of the four apartments comprising the whole top floor of an historical Palazzo found in the west side of Castello District, only a few minutes’ walk from San Marco Square.



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 entire property has been completely and luxuriously refurbished in 2013: an elevator has been installed, the original terrazzo flooring and art-deco inspired inlaid parquet renovated, frescoes and stuccoes brought back to the ancient splendour, the spacious terrace equipped with table, sunshade and sun chairs.



The building is accessible by private water taxi from the Marco Polo airport in only 20 minutes and it takes less than 5 minutes’ walk to reach the Vaporetto/Alilaguna (ferry boat) stop San Zaccaria, thus very central.

This apartment can be accessed from a very bright and elegant shared entrance hall giving on to the communal terraces. It has a spacious living/dining room with the most remarkable stuccoed ceiling, large windows facing Rio di San Lorenzo and offering stunning canal views, elegant furnishing and a modern full optional kitchen for chef-proof dining up to 8 people.



In the room between the living room and the master bedroom there is a double sofa-bed and the access to the second bathroom. The master bedroom boasts a canopied bed dressed with nice linen, while its en-suite marble bathroom is equipped with bathtub. The apartment is equipped with every sort of comfort, including Wi-Fi, A/C, washing machine, dishwasher, oven, large fridge and freezer, TV with DVD player, etc.



The Alighieri B can also be combined with the Alighieri “A”, “C” and/or “D”, located on the same floor. 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.

    We were knocked out by this apartment! Beautiful, well furnished, large rooms with views from upper floor (accessible by elevator) over the city and a quiet canal. The kitchen is well equipped, although we couldn't resist the great restaurants and coffee houses near by, so we didn't eat in often. Nice outside deck when the weather is warm. Short walk to the lagoon and grand canal, but without the crowds and noise. Great restaurants and shopping close by. Our only trouble was with check in, but that was of our own making for not getting in touch with Svetlana a few days sooner (it all worked out). We would love to stay at Antonella's apartment again!

    This unit is just beautiful, convenient (lift) and in a great location). The restaurants nearby (steps away) were very good and the main tourist highlights are a short walk away. Svetlana met us at the water bus stop and once at the apartment explained all the ins and outs we needed to know. Very helpful!

    This by far was one of the best rentals I have experienced. Grande and large by Italy standards, my husband and I were able to “spread out”in this spacious apartment, the neighborhood near Greco bridge was wonderful for grocery shopping, dining out and the Arsenal’s. Also a quick walk to St Marks and a luxurious stroll to the Grand Canal where our friends stayed. Lovely and thank you Svetlana

    This is a perfect apartment if you are planning a trip to Venice. We LOVED this location and will return again on a future visit. The apartment is very spacious and beautiful. You have everything you need including a very convenient elevator to handle luggage. It is in a lovely and quiet area of Venice with a very comfortable master bedroom; which made for great sleeps!! As quiet and serene the neighbourhood, you are only about a 5 minute walk to the Lagoon and St Marks Square and less than 10 minutes from the Rialto bridge. We walked everywhere easily from this location while in Venice. We visited in early September and it was quite hot and the AC kept us cool and comfortable. On prior trips to Venice we have stayed in hotels; but this will be our go to home away from home in Venice from now on!! LOVED IT!!!

    We loved this apartment in Venice! Spacious, with a modern kitchen and has everything you need. It is very well taken care for even in the small details. It is on the third floor of a Palazzo with elevador front to a Canal. It is very beautiful and two rooms have “afrescos” in the ceiling that are surely very old! A very confortable place to stay in Venice in an area not so crowded but still easy to reach. The owner is very responsive and concerned that you have a wonderful stay. We surely plan to go back. on another trip.

    Great location! We loved the size of the apartment. House was fully stocked with everything. Great A/C! A few extra touches were appreciated. We enjoy the upstairs outside terrace. My only wish list would be to add curtains to all of the bedrooms and I also found the beds -extra firm, maybe a optional mattress topper for people like me would be great. Thank you for sharing your apartment with my family!

    This apartment exceeded our expectations. It is the best VRBO that we have stayed in. The apartment is light and airy, beautifully decorated and just top-notch all the way. The first night we were there the AC was not functioning. We texted Svetlana and she had it fixed the next morning. Also, while we were there they installed a washing machine in the apartment. Very convenient. There are dryers available on the ground floor - unusual in Italy. Particularly handy in Venice, as it's hard to get the laundry to dry. The apartment is very spacious with large windows facing the canal. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this apartment to any one. Of the three apartments we rented in Italy this was by far the best. It's in a great location - in Castello, but only a10 minute walk to the San Marco vaperretto stop and St. Mark's Square. Rent it and enjoy.

    We arrived a day late because of airline delays, but the Begonia was beautiful, sparkling clean and perfectly located! Svetlana met us at the San Zaccharias vaporetto dock and briefed us on keys, laundry, etc. It was a huge apartment with great views of tiled roofs, a canal, steeples and towers. There is a full kitchen for those staying ay length of time who wish to prepare their own meals, a beautiful long dining room table, two bathrooms and a spacious living room/sitting area. We would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting romantic Venice, whether it's their first visit or, as many do, return for more magic. This is a wonderful property.
