Between SAN MARCO, RIALTO and BIENNALE, 50 meters from Campo Santa Maria Formosa. \- Prestigious and convenient area for everything and for all directions. \- Near the Ponte dei SOSPIRI and SAN MARCO \- The apartment is on the FIRST FLOOR with almost exclusive entrance. \- It has 10 magnificent ARC WINDOWS with a small terrace. \- 2 independent bathrooms covered in mosico \- 2 large double bedrooms \- FREE WIFI fast fiber \- complete and equipped kitchen \- digital TV BIG 55 Etc... The house is large (about 100 square meters) and very welcoming. A classical-antique style prevails with modern finishing touches. One of the two bedrooms has a large wardrobe with sliding doors, the other has an independent bathroom. The two bathrooms are covered in original Bisazza mosaic (Murano) and are equipped with hair-dryer, towel warmer, liquid soap, carpets, towels, etc ... Each room and each room has independent heating and air conditioning. There is a complete supply of table linen, sheets and towels. The kitchen also has a toaster and an American coffee machine and the first things you need: pepper, salt, coffee, pasta, vinegar, oil, towels, toilet paper, detergents, trash bags, etc ... and a welcome surprise! Once you arrive in our apartment you will immediately realize the convenience of services at your disposal. The apartment, in fact, presents a quiet restaurant below with typical Venetian cuisine, a café and a pastry shop. In addition, a comfortable and large COOP supermarket is a 3-minute walk away. The house has all the features that will make your stay cozy and with a warm and family atmosphere. The apartment is in a convenient area to access all the most famous attractions of Venice (from Piazza San Marco, with its marvelous Basilica, to the modern art exhibition of the Biennale). The apartment is just 5 minutes from San Marco, 5 minutes from San Zaccaria, 1 minute from Santa Maria Formosa, 8 minutes from Rialto and much more. Near there are many pubs and restaurants. Very important: it is in the center of Venice, but it is absolutely in a quiet and peaceful area. Below the apartment there is a cafeteria, a pastry shop and a refined restaurant with typical Venetian cuisine. In the immediate vicinity we also find: a self-service laundry (H 24), a baker's, a greengrocer's, ice-cream shop , various shops and cicchetterie. Just 30 meters away you can visit the famous "Grimani" history palace and the famous and ancient Malipiero Palace Just 50 meters away is the Piazza (Campo) of Santa Maria Formosa with its famous Basilica. Just 200 meters away there is a large Market-Coop always open continuously. At only 150 meters there is the main station of the Vaporetti di San Zaccaria - San Marco. It is the most important crossroads because from here, all the Vaporetti arrive and depart for every direction, including for the airport. The beach (Lido) can be reached in just 10 minutes. ADVICE TO ARRIVE TO THE APARTMENT: A) - TRAIN (SANTA LUCIA) If you arrive by TRAIN (Santa Lucia Station) you have to take the Vaporetto LINEA 2B which runs every 10 minutes in front of the station. The Vaporetto will cross the magnificent Grand Canal and in just 10 minutes you will be in Rialto In Rialto, when you go down, I will be there to take you to the apartment with a short walk of 5 - 10 minutes. B) - BY CAR OR BUS (PIAZZALE ROMA) If you arrive by CAR to the station of Piazzale Roma (close to that of the trains) you have to deposit the car in a municipal parking fee, or park a few kilometers before (near the airport) or near the train station in Mestre city, where there are large cheaper parking. From there, take the bus or train to Venice that will take you to Piazzale Roma or Santa Lucia train station. (From Piazzale Roma or from the railway station do everything as explained in point A). IMPORTANT SUGGESTION: every ACTV line VAPORETTO ride costs 9,50 euros and lasts 75 minutes, I would advise you to buy the Tourist Travel Card (ACTV) based on your days of stay. (https://www.venise.net/travel-card) It is very convenient and saves time and money. You can move with the Linea water bus, where you want and how many times you want. C) - AIRPORT (3 solutions) 1 - From the Airport the furthest way to get directly to the flat is to take a Taxi-boat (RECOMMENDED) that will take you in just 25 minutes, through the Lagoon, directly in Campo SANTA MARIA FORMOSA, very close to the apartment (50 meters). It costs about 100-130 euros each trip: for example if you are 4 person, you will divide 30 euros each. You can also book online. (https://www.motoscafivenezia.com/en/) P.S. You have to ask the driver to bring you to Campo Santa Maria Formosa. The Taxi-boat will stop behind the church of Santa Maria Formosa. or 2 - From the airport you can take the bus (or a taxi-car) and go to the Piazzale Roma station and then do everything as in point A). or 3 - From the airport another convenient solution, less fast, but a little cheaper (16 Euro person), is to take the ALILAGUNA LINEA BLU OR ORANGE vaporetto and BLU (70 minutes) get to SAN ZACCARIA (San Marco) very close to the apartment (150 meters), and ORANGE (35 minutes) get to RIALTO (300 meters from apartment). Line BLUE AND ORANGE departure alternates every 30 minutes You can also book online. (https://www.alilaguna.it/en) P.S. I will wait for you at the stop you will choose: (Rialto, San Zaccaria or Campo Santa Maria Formosa). ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the apartment: Free WiFi ### Kitchen - Blender -

This apartment has it all. Recently remodeled kitchen and bathrooms, clean throughout, 3 a/c units (1 for each bedroom, 1 central) to make it the temperature you like, spacious, with plenty of closet space, and comfortable beds. It is ideally situated, with only about a short walk to San Marco and the south part of Venice and the Rialto bridge.. Our refrigerator had fresh water, chocolate, coffee & a bottle of wine. There was enough fresh fruit that we couldn't finish it all in 5 days. You have pots, pans, silverware, glasses, plates, a microwave, 4-burner stove, etc. if you would like to dine in, a comfortable sofa with a TV, travel books to read, and 2 spacious bedrooms with comfortably firm beds. Between the ambience, location, quiet (except for the occasional, brief, tour group), furnishings, and the delightful owner (who will meet your water taxi and guide you to the apartment), we had a safe, relaxing homebase from which to explore Venice. This is the place we will book on our next trip to Venice. Compared to other properties, and the tiny hotel rooms available, this is unbeatable! ##### Neil A.

They met us at the vaporetto stop and gave us a little tour of the neighborhood on our way to the apartment. They explained all the features and how to use the various equipment/appliances, gave us restaurant recommendations and left us with some delightful snacks. The apartment is in a great location between Rialto and S Marco, a bustling neighborhood that was quiet at bedtime. The air conditioning worked great and the apartment was well equipped with everything we needed. It is spacious and the showers were a very nice size. The beds were very comfy. The pictures are very accurate. I can't say enough good things about it. We would definitely stay here again. ##### Jennifer W.

Il est parfaitement situé. La propreté : c est impeccable. L appartement est très très bien équipé Ornello nous a réservé un accueil très chaleureux ( une magnifique coupe de fruits et du Prosecco nous attendait !) La gentillesse de Nello, sa bonne humeur et son dévouement ont été un plus qui a rendu notre séjour inoubliable ! Allez y les yeux fermés vous serez enchanté ! Grazie mille Nello! ##### Marina C.

A friend and I rented Bighouse apartment for 5 days in December 2022\. It was perfect! Nello was in touch with us before we arrived to let us know exactly which vaporetto to take from the train station. He met us at the Rialto bridge with umbrellas, since it was raining, and walked us to the apartment while pointing out places of interest along the way. The apartment itself - on the first floor so only one set of stairs - was spacious, comfortable and immaculately clean. Everything we needed was provided. There was a full kitchen that even had an American coffee maker, plenty of pots, pans, dishes, tableware. The living area had comfortable, stylish seating and a modern TV which we used in the evening to improve our Italian by watching Italian shows. The two bedrooms each had a very comfortable queen bed and the bathrooms were luxurious. There was a towel warmer and the sinks and showers were tiled with gorgeous Murano glass tiles. The photos truly do not do this apartment justice! On top of his warm welcome, Nello left us a huge bowl full of fresh fruit and chilled Prosecco in the fridge. If I could give this apartment more than a five star rating, I would. The location was also excellent, with St Mark’s Square, the Rialto bridge, and the vaporetto stop for Murano all within a ten minute walk. Nello recommended several restaurants right in the area, which were excellent and not in the touristy areas, so had more authentic Venetian offerings. Nello is the ultimate host and has provided his beautiful apartment to make the most of one’s visit to Venice. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tana E. 30 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### What a Wonderful Find! This unit couldn’t have been more wonderful! It is a beautiful unit that has been updated with all modern conveniences, the location is perfect to get around Venice, and the owner is just wonderful! We couldn’t have found a better rental. Mr. Bighouse, the owner, met us in the rain, where our water taxi delivered us with umbrellas! He then proceeded to show us through the unit and how to work everything. Make your stay in Venice, a memorable one by renting this unit! ##### Tana E.

Nello and his family were the perfect host for our 2 day visit Venice. Nello met us at the water taxi stop and got us settled in to the apartment. He took time to help us get the lay of the land and said if we needed anything just to call. The apartment was in the perfect. It had all the amenities of home. The major sights and attractions were all reachable by foot. Great restaurants and shops just out side your door. We will use Nello and this location if and when we return to Venice. ##### David M.
