About this property

Venetian Apartment in Historic Castello District

  • Experience the charm of the most historical part of Venice from this beautifully restored first-floor apartment in the authentic Castello district.



    Combining traditional Venetian character with modern comforts, the Petrarca apartment offers the perfect base for families, couples, and small groups looking to immerse themselves in local Venetian life.



    Ideally located, the apartment is just a 10-minute walk from St Mark's Square and the Rialto Bridge, while the nearest vaporetto (water bus) stop is only 3 minutes away on foot, providing easy access to all areas of the city. The surrounding streets offer a selection of local grocery stores, supermarkets, cafés, and restaurants.



    Castello is renowned for its genuine Venetian atmosphere, away from the busiest tourist routes. In recent years, the district has become increasingly popular with artists, architects, collectors, and cultural travellers thanks to its proximity to the main exhibition venues of the Venice Biennale.



    The apartment has been thoughtfully renovated to preserve its historic features while providing every modern convenience. It accommodates up to six guests and features:

    •A fully equipped kitchen with a large dining table

    •Two bathrooms, one with a bathtub and one with a shower

    •A spacious master bedroom with ample wardrobe space

    •A second bedroom with two single beds

    •A smaller living room with TV and a double sofa bed, ideal for children or teenagers

    •A generous central entrance hall connecting all rooms



    The interiors showcase an elegant blend of family-owned antiques and contemporary furnishings, complemented by beautiful Venetian flooring and original architectural details that create a warm and distinctive atmosphere.



    For your comfort, the apartment is equipped with an efficient air conditioning system, heating system, complimentary Wi-Fi, TV, washing machine, dishwasher, oven, microwave, kettle, Nespresso coffee machine, hairdryer and everything else you may need also for an extended stay.

    Whether you are visiting Venice for sightseeing, cultural events, or simply to enjoy the city's timeless beauty, the Petrarca apartment offers a comfortable and characterful home in one of Venice's most fascinating neighbourhoods.

Everything was perfect; the location, the apartment amenities, and the friendliness of the staff who met us at the vaporetto stop and walked us to the apartment. I highly recommend this VRBO and host.

Great Place!

It had everything we needed. It was in a great location. Very close to multiple vaporetto stops and close to popular sites. Management was very responsive and helped us book water taxi to and from airport. I would highly recommend if needing a great place for a family.

Biennale visit

We rented this apartment for 10 days to immerse ourselves in the Biennale. A Vaperetto stop is not too far away, which took us to the Giardini; the Arsenale is walking distance. The kitchen is well equipped and there is a grocer across the street and a produce vendor nearby, so we ate in quite a bit. The bathrooms and bedrooms are as described and comfortable. The hosts have a well structured notebook with all necessary information, as well as suggestions for restaurants. The apartment has high ceilings, which helped it feel spacious. There is not a living room, so the kitchen was our base. The neighborhood is clean and safe and we used Apple Map and Google maps to navigate. Thanks to Truly Venice (management company) for scheduling water taxis for us to/from airport, and for providing someone to meet us at the water taxi to take us to the apartment and review all necessary information. And a very special thanks to Veronica at Truly Venice, for sourcing extra pillows for my bed. That helped so much. I recommend this apartment in the Castello.

Bel appartement au calme conforme à la description.

L'appartement est très bien, la localisation est à un endroit encore authentique et calme.Les points négatifs : pas très pratique pour les bagages quand on a un avion le soir si on doit quitter l'appartement le matin. Il n'y a pas de consigne à proximité. Cela oblige à aller à San Marco alors que beaucoup plus près il y a Fondamente Nuove mais là, il n'y a pas de consigne. Ensuite prendre l'Alilaguna depuis San Marco dure 1h30, alors que c'est seulement 30mn de Fondamente Nuove.Le gérant est supposé parler français, ce n'est pas le cas. Il faut donc parler anglais et cela peut amener à des malentendus.Dernier point sur l'arrivée : le taxi n'était pas là, nous avons attendu plus de 20 mn or nous avions payé un supplément dans l'avion pour avoir nos bagages avec nous.... et pris un taxi pour arriver avant 20h. Mais au final, l'agence n'a pas compté les frais pour arrivée tardive et nous l'en remercions.

Sehr gern jederzeit wieder!

Wir waren, zwei Schwestern und die Großmutter unserer kleinen Kinder, für ein paar Tage in Venedig in dieser sehr zu empfehlenden Ferienwohnung. Schön eingerichtet, sauber, alles da in der Küche, Ankunft mit Wassertaxi mit 1 Minute Fußweg, 1 Minute Fußweg Supermarkt entfernt, fußläufig zu erreichen auch der Markusplatz. Zwar direkt einer Schule gegenüber, aber trotzdem still und wunderbar erholsam. Ein Zimmer und ein Bad haben den Blick auf einen stillen Innenhof. Die Dame, die uns an der Taxihaltestelle abgeholt und in die Wohnung geführt hat, war ganz wunderbar und hilfsbereit. Als ich zwischendurch und auch am Schluß spontan ein Wassertaxi brauchte, half mir das Team von truely Venice hilfsbereit und tatkräftig weiter. Unkompliziert und super nett. Tausend Dank! Der erste Eindruck hat nicht getäuscht, wir waren alle mehr als zufrieden und kommen sehr sehr gern wieder!
