Ca' Giacomo
Veneto - Venice - Santa Croce |
|
Ca' Giacomo is situated near the grand canal and the transport hub in the Santa Croce area of Venice. The apartment is extremely well presented and enjoys a quiet location with good access to all of Venice by ferry (vaporetto) or ambling along the many small laneways that is Venice. Entering the apartment with its high ceilings, gothic windows and frescoed walls, one can appreciate the long and noble history of the Venice republic, and the apartment provides many reminders of the former grandeur of these times. The owners have done a great job of preserving these characteristics whilst integrating modern comforts for a pleasant stay.

Description The Giacomo Apartment is a completely renovated accommodation of about 90 sq. metres located on the first floor of a building near Campo S. Giacomo dell'Orio.

The front door opens into an imposing salon of about 70 sq. metres with a frescoed wall, sun filled gothic windows, Venetian marble floors and 4.5 metre ceilings. The furniture of the salon is partly in antique Venetian style and features two big Murano chandeliers, an antique dining-table and chairs, an eighteenth-century bureau, some statues and antique paintings and for comfort, a large sofa with two armchairs and a modern bookcase with TV and video-recorder. The rest of the apartment has more modern styling. A door leads through to the kitchen with breakfast table and paved with Italian cotto tiles. It is equipped with a fridge and freezer, a traditional oven, four gas hobs and a washing machine. Down a corridor is the sleeping area with two bedrooms and a bathroom.

This locality
Conveniente to the transport terminals, the Santa Croce area is considered too quiet or removed by many tourists. True it is 20 minutes or so to walk to San Marco with its thronging crowds, but this is where many Venetians have their homes, amongst the lovely piazzas and parks or along the canals that wind their way between them. Many guidebooks will recommend this area to discover small trattorias with local cuisine or to mingle with the locals for an evening aperitivo.> more
