Majestic Apartment with Elegant Decor in Castello District

The Alighieri D is the largest between the four apartments comprising the whole top floor of this authentic historical building that we call Palazzo Alighieri. It is found in the west side of Castello District, next to Ponte dei Greci, only a few minutes’ walk from San Marco Square, in one of the most integrally authentic parts of the city. In the surroundings there are lots of artisan and antique ateliers, local food shops and delicious osterie (traditional restaurants). Some of the cultural landmarks that can be found close by in Castello beside the well-known Arsenale and Biennale Gardens include Basilica Santi Giovanni e Paolo, Scuola di San Giorgio degli Schiavoni, Church of San Giorgio dei Greci, Campo Santa Maria Formosa, Church of San Zaccaria and many others. The Alighieri can be reached from the Marco Polo Airport by private water taxi in about 20 minutes ride through the lagoon, or in less than 5 minutes’ walk from the Vaporetto (ferry boat) stop San Zaccaria, thus conveniently located. The entire property has been completely and luxuriously restored in 2013: an elevator has been installed, the original terrazzo flooring repaired, frescoes and stuccoes brought back to the ancient splendour, the terrace equipped with table, sunshade and sun chairs, at the ground floor a Sauna is available on request.
