About this property

"Enrico's Hideaway near the Rialto Bridge - It's Over The Moon!"

This original apartment was planned by an architect in a quiet lane close to one of the main streets in Venice, within Campo San Polo - one of the most famous and large squares in Venice - and it is 5 minutes walk from the famous RIALTO BRIDGE.

In Campo San Polo there is the 'Querini Dubois Palace' an excellent example of Venetian Renaissance architecture, today used as a cultural Centre also for the Film festival organization. During that event in September, St. Polo’s square becomes a moving picture theatre every evening. The apartment is really only a few minutes walk from the public water bus (called 'vaporetto' line 1 SAN STAE or SAN SILVESTRO), and it is situated near Rialto, the oldest area of Venice historic centre in a centuries old building, on the 2nd floor (North American designation, 1st European).

The entrance is through an independent door and stairs used by two apartments, with earthenware floor and original wooden beam ceilings. It offers very easy access to all the city attractions (only a short walk (15 min. - to St. Mark’s square!). Moreover, in the same district you can find 'Basilica dei Frari' a wonderful church full of historical vestiges, including Canova’s grave.

The apartment is perfect for a couple on a romantic holiday, as it offers warmth, privacy, and the comfort of the most central position you could wish for! But also, the apartment can be the perfect, comfortable and convenient base to explore Venice's beauty and discover its alleys, canal, sights - restaurants, bars and Bacari or osterie (characteristic and historic Venetian wine bars with daily SPRITZ. Meeting place where it is possible to eat small fried food and have a chat with friends or even strangers).

Shop and market are round the corner and just in a few steps you are at the fish market 'La Pescaria' famous all over the world (fish, fruit and vegetable). Moreover, only in a short distance from the apartment, you can find some of the most typical and characteristic Venetian restaurants, very interesting for the various gastronomic proposals and for the different service and rates, such as: DA FIORE, one of the most exclusive restaurants in Italy, suitable to very high standard dinner; ANTICHE CARAMPANE, Venetian cuisine, high level, very quiet in a charming corner, VECIO FRITOLIN an old and marvellous tavern in Calle della Regina (Rialto), meeting place for artists and, in a short way away close to them, AL NONO RISORTO for a dinner in the garden; in Campo St. Polo BIRRARIA LA CORTE pizza-restaurant and characteristic Venetian cuisine. While, for visitors of the Biennal Exhibition gardens, AL DIPORTO at St. Elena’s island offers typical dishes and is attended by Venetians.

GUEST QUOTE

Your place sounds wonderful ! In fact, last night, I had a dream about staying in Venice where I could hear & see the gondoliers singing on the canal below our room-- then I saw your description of your place ! That was it ! I was in Venice 40 years ago & my husband/artist has never been, so we are exicited to stay at your place.
Thanks, Patti & Barry

As good as we’d hoped
We very much enjoyed Enrico’s apartment. We loved the location which was very convenient in San Polo enabling access in many directions, yet very quiet and with fine canal views. It was spacious and well appointed with a good stock of grocery necessities should you want to self-cater. And it had lots of character. We would happily stay there again and enjoy even more of the unique character of wonderful Venice.

Second thought
Upon arrival to Venice: Unfamiliar w/ new country, new language & vasporato was overwhelming. We boarded the water bus we were told to get on but it went the opposite direction we had intended to go. Immediately contacted Enrico w/ our delay. 37 min into our mistake we messaged Enrico again to tell him we were walking to find the apartment & Marina, who we were to meet. Minutes later we got a text message from Luca, from our viewpoint was degrading, stating, “…suggest you find a quick solution”. We never were told to contact Luca. There was definitely a language barrier when finally meeting up with Luca as he was very argumentative for at least 7 min at which we interrupted him & said, “just take us to the apartment”. Needless to say, not a great start when meeting with Luca. No reply back due to “phone trouble” per Enrico. The location is the best. The Hideaway needs a facelift. Revisit IKEA.Towels are thin & smell like mildew after 1 use. Same with kitchen towel. Couldn’t wash them for Luca gave us 1 washing pod for our week stay. Suggest to be a little more generous w/the laundry soap for other guests. Towel warmer does not work. Shower walls/floors w/ black residue. Kitchen skillet, teapot have broken handles. Ice trays broken Above stove vent falls down upon touching. Kitchen sink slow to drain-had to poke through black residue for drainage. Bedsheets worn, smelly, & come off corners. Sofa & throw pillows stained/faded Hope others enjoy the stay

Comfortable and Quiet Neighborhood
My husband and I had a pleasant stay at Enrico’s Hideaway accommodation. We stayed 8 nights and really appreciated the hospitality and quietness of the neighborhood. It was our first visit to Venice and the location of the apartment was ideal as it was close enough to the main points of interest on the beautiful island of Venice and far enough away to experience peace and quiet for resting each night.

Für alle, die gern in das venezianische Leben eintauchen möchten
Das Apartment ist ideal für zwei Personen, für 4 Personen ist es schon schwieriger. Ältere Leute sollten bedenken, dass man mit Gepäck zwei Brücken überqueren muss, um das Apartment zu erreichen. Im Erdgeschoss des Hauses ist eine Art Baufirma angesiedelt, die morgens um 7:00 Uhr ihre Arbeitsmaterialien in ein Boot bringt. Wenig später kommt dann ein weiteres Boot mit Arbeitern. Man ist also mitten im venezianischen Alltag, was mir gefallen hat, aber für Ruhesuchende nicht das richtige ist. Durch den unmittelbar unter Wohn- und Schlafzimmer verlaufenden Kanal muss man mit Mücken rechnen und sich entsprechend wappnen. Im Allgemeinen ist das Apartment zweckmäßig, aber wenn das Sofa im Küchen-/Wohnbereich als weitere Schlafstelle benutzt wird, gibt es keine bequeme Sitzgelegenheit, sondern nur die recht harten Stühle am Esstisch. Dennoch hat es uns gefallen.

Very pleasant
We had such an amazing stay at Enrico's in Venice. The location is tucked away in a private area and is close to anything and everything you could possibly want to see or do in Venice. The apt is charming and is certainly suitable for a couple or young family. A canal runs right alongside the apartment and we enjoyed seeing the gondolas and hearing the instrument-playing and singing! There is an open-air square right by the apartment where we found what became our favorite place for breakfast and dinner. Wonderful restaurants and shopping opportunities abound. If you're heading to Venice and wondering where to stay I would highly recommend Enrico's place!
