Holiday Home/Apartment - 3 persons - - 30123 - Venice

Description
Along a hidden little alley with a courtyard at its fore,
Sits a quaint Venetian ‘casetta’ with an apartment on each floor!

As ‘cute as pie’, new to our roster, and recently revamped in anticipation of your stay, the sleeps 6 (+3) Lo Squero comprises 3 entirely separate apartments* offering comfort, a top location and quiet elegance all the way.

Situated on a peaceful Dorsoduro calle leading to the narrow Rio de Toresele canal where once there stood a squero (boatyard) many, many moons ago, each charming Lo Squero apartment promises a perfect base in Venice for couples, solo travellers and groups of up to 9 when booked as a whole.

‘Hidden in plain sight’ just moments from Campo San Vio**, the Peggy Guggenheim Collection and the dazzling Zattere promenade, and boasting Wi-Fi connection and a washing machine in each, the fully air-conditioned apartments are spread over 3 floors of the property (one per level) and include:

Lo Squero 2 – 1st Floor

Accessed via a main entrance doorway on the calle shared with Lo Squero 3 just above, this tasteful apartment sleeps 2 (+1) and comprises:

Stairs leading up to the apartment entrance

A bright west-facing bedroom suite looking onto the courtyard below, smartly refurb’ed in ivories, cerulean blue and Farrow & Ball’s ‘Ringwold’ botanical wallpaper and furnished with a double sofa bed (housing 2 single mattresses)*** and an elegantly upholstered double bed with comfy topper (that can also be divided into singles at your request)

A newly remodelled dual-aspect kitchen/dining/sitting room complete with full oven, well-lit breakfast bar and a cherry red double sofa bed (housing 2 single mattresses)*** beneath gorgeous sage green walls hung with b&w images of Venice

And completing Lo Squero 2’s accommodation:

A simple tiled bathroom with shower

* Are you part of a larger group who’d like to stay close to each other but in separate apartments? We offer 2 other units in this characterful Venetian casetta (little house): Lo Squero1 (on the Ground Floor) and Lo Squero 3 (on the 2nd Floor)

** A location featured prominently in David Lean’s iconic film ‘Summertime’ starring Katherine Hepburn, and home to St. George’s Anglican Church in Venice (as well as a manned gondola stand for exploring the canals!)

*** Note that Lo Squero 2 is furnished with 2 double sofa beds (each with 2 single mattresses) giving added flexibility to the sleeping arrangements

OUR COMMENT

A Venetian casetta that’s sure to make you smile, just tucked away on Dorsoduro’s ‘Museum Mile’…

A short amble to the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, the iconic Church of the Salute, the Accademia Galleries and Bridge (and the VOV office!), the Palazzo Cini Gallery, plus the Punta Della Dogana Center of Contemporary Art, and close to a variety of fine eating places and bars including Ai Gondolieri and Ristorante Riviera for fine dining, and Corner Pub, Osteria Al Squero and Cantinone Gia Schiavi for cicheti and spritz.

An easy waterside stroll to 2 Conad supermarkets – one at the western end of the Zattere and a smaller one closer to home at Zattere Spirito Santo – and to 4 vaporetto (water bus) stops – Zattere Spirito Santo, Zattere, Salute and Accademia – for travel around the city (note that St. Mark’s Square can be reached by vaporetto from Salute in under 5 minutes on Line 1!)

Also close to the ‘traghetto’ at Calle Lanza/Calle del Traghetto S. Gregorio which, during operating hours, ferries passengers by gondola across the Grand Canal to the district of San Marco, and within easy reach of the Alilaguna boat stop connecting the Zattere to Venice's Marco Polo Airport.
