The entrance is through an independent door and stairs used by two apartments, with earthenware floor and original wooden beam ceilings. It offers very easy access to all the city attractions (only a short walk (15 min. - to St. Mark’s square!). Moreover, in the same district you can find 'Basilica dei Frari' a wonderful church full of historical vestiges, including Canova’s grave.

The apartment is perfect for a couple on a romantic holiday, as it offers warmth, privacy, and the comfort of the most central position you could wish for! But also, the apartment can be the perfect, comfortable and convenient base to explore Venice's beauty and discover its alleys, canal, sights - restaurants, bars and Bacari or osterie (characteristic and historic Venetian wine bars with daily SPRITZ. Meeting place where it is possible to eat small fried food and have a chat with friends or even strangers).

Shop and market are round the corner and just in a few steps you are at the fish market 'La Pescaria' famous all over the world (fish, fruit and vegetable). Moreover, only in a short distance from the apartment, you can find some of the most typical and characteristic Venetian restaurants, very interesting for the various gastronomic proposals and for the different service and rates, such as: DA FIORE, one of the most exclusive restaurants in Italy, suitable to very high standard dinner; ANTICHE CARAMPANE, Venetian cuisine, high level, very quiet in a charming corner, VECIO FRITOLIN an old and marvellous tavern in Calle della Regina (Rialto), meeting place for artists and, in a short way away close to them, AL NONO RISORTO for a dinner in the garden; in Campo St. Polo BIRRARIA LA CORTE pizza-restaurant and characteristic Venetian cuisine. While, for visitors of the Biennal Exhibition gardens, AL DIPORTO at St. Elena’s island offers typical dishes and is attended by Venetians.

Guest Book: 10/28/07 Loved our stay at Enrico's. we are 2 70+ visitors and the following information may be useful to other older tourists. San Stae vaporetto stop is on the number 1 route which is the most useful for tourists BUT it is also on the night bus route so if you are enjoying yourself in Venice you need never worry about getting home easily.The area has lots of food shops, but the nearest one (2 minutes for me) provided everything ttat we needed, and was excellent. Previously in Venice we have stayed in hotels and lodging houses, but after this visit we feel an apartment is ideal - just shopping improves our Italian-and as for Italian television! The apartment was just fine, everything worked, it was spacious,comfortable with intriguing original art work on the walls. Enrico and his wife met us and carried our bags , explained the routines and left us with contact numbers in case of difficulties.I would not hesitate to recommend his apartment and the location. joycheshire@onetel.com
