La Dimora di Sant'Andrea Canal View Venice - Apartment

A Venetian chocolate box cottage on the sleepy Rio de Sant’ Andrea canal, offering pared-down Italian elegance and delightful water views.

Warm polenta yellow outside and sarde silver-blue within, this crisply appointed casa will steal your heart from the very start!

Affording guests a level of privacy only an independent house can offer, and air-conditioned for all those hazy ¬- and lazy! – summer days ahead, this charming home sleeps 6 in remodelled surroundings spread over 4 floors* of the property with a slim-line terrace near the top.

Next door-but-one neighbour to the Palazzo Albrizzi-Capello* in a timeless pocket of Cannaregio residents keep (almost!) for themselves, this sunny and south-facing cottage with Wi-Fi offers 2 bedrooms/3 bathrooms and ample living space throughout.

Peacefully positioned along a path much less travelled on an ‘island within an island’ off the radar of the tourist crowds, La Dimora di Sant’ Andrea’s spruce and ship-shape accommodation comprises:

OUR COMMENT

A cottage on the canal with a fresh, contemporary interior offering flexible accommodation in an authentic part of town…

… A much-loved district with a traditional old-world charm characterised by peaceful residential areas, a host of historic landmarks including the spectacular fairy tale Ca’ d’Oro and the ancient Jewish Ghetto, plus long and wide canal-side ‘fondamente’ including the Fondamente de la Misericordia and de la Sensa (with their fabulous selection of local restaurants and bacari – including our favourites Anice Stellato, Paradiso Perduto, Vino Vero and the characterful bookshop-bistrot-cafe Sullaluna), plus the Fondamente Nove – Venice’s northern waterfront overlooking the waters of the lagoon towards the distant peaks of the Dolomite mountains.

Within an easy stroll of some wonderful churches including the dainty jewel-box Santa Maria dei Miracoli, the Gesuiti with its towering white façade and statues of the Apostles, and Madonna dell’ Orto - final resting place of the painter Tintoretto (‘Little Dyer’).

Close to the Strada Nova where you find shops galore to satisfy all your shopping needs, plus a well-stocked Coop Supermarket at San Felice.

Convenient to 2 vaporetto (water bus) stops – Ca’ d’Oro and Fondamente Nove – the latter allowing for easy travel to the beaches of the Lido and to the glass-blowing island of Murano, with connections at Fondamente Nove for the rainbow-coloured island of Burano and the island of Torcello.

Also a stone’s throw to the traghetto at Campo Santa Sofia, which during operating times, ferries passengers by gondola across the Grand Canal to the famous Rialto Market in the district of San Polo.
