District Castello

The Alcova Terrace is a very bright and quiet apartment with a lovely terrace, located along the Arsenale Canal in the Castello District.

This area is now in high demand between connoisseurs, artists and true Venetians because of its genuineness and antique historical heritage.

This is the oldest part of the city, where everything started more than a millennium ago and still today it is preserved almost integrally. The Serenissima Republic built here the Arsenale in the XII Century, which made the city state the most influential maritime power of the world for centuries.

Beside the rich cultural heritage, in this area recently opened a variety of good and inexpensive local bars and restaurants. Last but not least, during the Biennale period this area becomes the centre of the creative and alternative artists community, exhibiting at Corderie dell’Arsenale, Giardini della Biennale and in many collateral events organized by its vibrant community.

The terrace is by far the highlight of the property: the view that you can enjoy from here is wide open and truly Venetian. The large Arsenale Canal is closed to boat traffic, therefore this spot is particularly quiet end discrete. The terrace is furnished with a table, chairs and sunchair which is perfect for a relaxing breakfast or an aperitif at sunset. The awning offers the possibility to use it also during very hot days or when raining.

It is composed of a very bright loft-style living and dining area with kitchenette, a small bedroom with queen size bed, large wardrobe and closet space, a mosaic tiled bathroom with shower cabin. The sofa-bed in the living is as comfortable as a normal bed and can easily be opened and closed, so during the day you can use the living room freely.

The kitchen features: 4 gas burners stove, fridge, dishwasher, microwave oven, kettle, coffee maker. The amenities of this apartment include washing machine, Wi-Fi, air conditioning, independent heating system, TV. Please note that it is a second floor only so not too many steps but they are indeed a little steeper than the average.

It is perfect for a romantic couple that wishes to spend intimate time in total comfort.

Testimonials Testimonials

The home was good. Great location - really convenient to San Marco, the center of Venice, and also to a great central hub of the neighbourhood of Castello. We loved the location. Our first impression was that the unit was very clean and well-appointed for a small unit. It's not luxurious in any way, but it was comfortable and complete, and it served us well for a one-week stay. We didn't really have time to use the little balcony which overlooks a quiet canal, but it was certainly cute and would have been a nice feature to enjoy. We had two beds (one was the sofa bed) which both were adequately comfortable, full sized beds, with adequate sheets, blankets and pillows. The bathroom was very complete and the hot water supply was good. Water pressure was decent. The kitchen was quite tiny. It was fine for us, as we didn't cook and just used it for some snacks and beverages. But it's definitely tight for anyone looking to cook. The place overall was quiet and comfortable.

Cozy and comfortable apartment, excellent location and a fantastic view from the veranda. Great restaurants close by, good for exploring the lagoon as well.
