Property 1651263745 - Venice
Location and Surrounding Area. Located on the first floor of a palazzo in the center of Venice and steps from the most exclusive dining, shopping and entertainment options, this unique apartment is the perfect place for a stylish break in one of the most beautiful cities in Italy. Venetian Palace is located in the lively and central San Polo district, in the center of Venice. The palazzo is close to some of the major attractions but is slightly off the beaten track, offering shelter from hit-and-run tourism.
This improbable canal city of lacy Gothic palaces built on mudbanks amid the tidal waters of the Adriatic Sea is totally unique. Once a powerful commercial and naval force in the Mediterranean, Venice has found a new role in the modern age. The palazzi have become museums, shops, hotels and apartments, while the convents have been turned into centers of art restoration. These days there is barely an off-season, though visiting in winter give a good chance of finding pockets of this magical city that still escape the crowds.
Though less than an hour from Venice, Padua seems a world away with its medieval marketplaces, Fascist-era facades and student population. Rich in art and architecture, this university town has two particularly outstanding sights. The magnificent Cappella degli Scrovegni, north of the city center, is famous for Giotto’s lyrical frescoes, and forms part of the complex incorporating the Eremitani church and museums. The Basilica di Sant’Antonio is one of the most popular pilgrimage destinations in Italy.
Vicenza is known as the adoptive city of Andrea Palladio, who started out as a stonemason and became one of the most influential architects of all time. One of the wealthiest cities in the region, Vicenza is celebrated over the world for its splendid and varied architecture, which shows the evolution of Palladio’s distinctive style. However, the city is more than just elegant porticoes and balustrades: its dynamic exhibitions, bars and restaurants provide a satisfying dose of modern vibrancy.
The palace is a few kilometers from Verona, a vibrant trading center, the largest city in Veneto and one of the most prosperous in Northern Italy. Best known for Shakespeare, Verona attracts a multinational gaggle of tourists to its pretty piazzas and lanes, most in search of Romeo and Juliet. But beyond the Renaissance romance, Verona’s center boasts magnificent Roman ruins and fine palazzi built of rosso di Verona, the local pink-tinged limestone. And all just a short hop from the shores of Lake Garda.
Venetian Palace is 14 km from Venice Marco Polo International Airport, 123 km from Verona Villafranca Airport (also known as Valerio Catullo Airport), 156 km from Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport, 259 km from Milan Linate Airport and 311 km from Milan Malpensa Airport. The palazzo is located in the center of Venice. Treviso is 42 km from the property, Padua is 47 km, Vicenza is 75 km, Verona is 121 km, Mantua is 156 km, and Lake Garda is 183 km.
