Marvellous Venetian Apartment near Rialto Bridge

The Michiel is a luxury historic home with independent entrance embodying the essence of the Venetian lifestyle found in a surprisingly quiet little square close to Campo Santi Apostoli.

It is located only 5 minutes’ walk to the Rialto Bridge and its colourful open-air market. This is a convenient location close to everything, tucked away from the crowd, easy to reach from both public transports or water taxi.

The private entrance hall at the ground floor reveals a lot about the long history of this place: century old raw bricks, thick wooden beams and stone sculptures match up with the antique furniture. Through a large wooden staircase, you access the huge living room furnished with a beautiful antique dining table and plenty of sitting space on comfortable sofas. The living room and two bedrooms face a small and quiet square facing south and are inundated with light, while the rest of the house receive little sun but is well illuminated artificially.

The master bedroom is particularly beautiful and spacious, with a set of antique furniture and a king size bed. The second bedroom is furnished with two single beds that can be pushed together and be used as queen size bed, on request. The third bedroom on the back of the house is furnished with 2 single beds and a desk and has an en-suite bathroom.

This apartment has a welcoming sort of atmosphere enhanced by the large use of antique wood, including parquet, windows and beams. Every piece of furniture in this house is precious, dating back one or more centuries, including the stunning original sculptured doors: guests who have the privilege to stay at the Michiel apartment should take care of the furniture to avoid damages.

The care taking landlord didn't compromise on technology either: the 2 bathrooms are completely new and very functional with large shower box, the kitchen is spacious and very well equipped with every possible amenity, there is air conditioning in every room, Wi-Fi internet connection, large TV with international channels, good sound system, washing machine, dishwasher, etc.

We suggest the Michiel apartment to demanding guests, possibly adults or anyway responsible children. We also recommend to catch a private water taxi to reach the apartment especially if you carry plenty of luggage.
