Large flat in San Lio.
Location: Castello, Venice The Castello district, the largest and among the oldest in Venice, is located at the eastern end of the city. Always one of the most densely populated districts of the city, it has maintained the traditional 'Venetian way of life' intact. Among the numerous monuments and works of art, we cannot fail to mention the Arsenale, for centuries the cradle of the power of the Serenissima, the Basilica of Saints John and Paul, one of the most beloved by Venetians, of S. Francesco in Vigna, of S. Maria Formosa. The property is a few steps away from Campo Santa Maria Formosa and Campo San Lio, a beautiful central residential area of Venice. It is also very convenient to reach Piazza San Marco or the main means of transport such as train and vaporetto. We are located in Campo San Lio, a strategic crossroads for reaching the main places of interest in Venice, such as San Marco, Santa Maria Formosa and Rialto, to name but a few. From the campo we enter a side street, the buzz totally diminishing as we reach the entrance to the flat. We are greeted by a large atrium with a real well that immediately makes us feel part of the context of a historic Venetian palazzo. We also find a convenient and practical storage room, before walking up the marble steps, which make us appreciate the excellent state of all the common parts. Reaching the first floor, we cross the threshold of the entrance: we are immediately struck by the natural light coming in copiously from the canal-facing view of the entire first side of the flat. We open the windows in curiosity, to better appreciate the spectacle of the reflections of the sun's rays playing with the canal's water, letting ourselves be lulled, for a few moments, by the pleasant sound of the gondoliers' oars gently slicing through the water. We continue along the corridor and find the second bedroom, the bathroom and two other rooms, all with air conditioning. Finally, we visit the large living room, the eat-in kitchen and the second bathroom, all recently renovated. On our way out, we reconsider the ample spaces, the view of the canal, the excellent state of renovation and the strategic location of this property: atout that make it a very attractive solution, in a central area, with modern finishes that, however, do not detract from its Venetian authenticity.
