MATTERS OF THE HEART

IN THE HEART OF CANNAREGIO, a neighborhood that still retains Venice’s ancient magic, a cozy apartment bathed in light and silence. Located on the first floor of a historic building, it features a spacious, fully equipped kitchen overlooking Calle Groppi and its brick walls; a bedroom with a view of the canal, from which the murmur of the water and the passing boats can be heard; and a spacious living room that opens onto a terrace framed by greenery and elegant palaces. All around, though inaudible, the city pulses with life—by day, in the steady hum of the neighborhood residents’ chatter, and by night, in a lively atmosphere filled with spritzes, cicchetti, and restaurants offering both traditional and ethnic cuisine. From here, every corner of Venice is easily accessible via quieter routes served by vaporetto lines that bypass the Grand Canal, revealing a lesser-known but equally charming side of Venice. Just a short walk away are churches housing artistic treasures and Parco Groggia, a hidden gem far from the most popular tourist routes. The Alilaguna waterbus from the airport takes just 25 minutes to arrive very close to the apartment, offering an unforgettable journey on the water and a wonderful introduction to the city.

IN THE HEART OF CANNAREGIO, the district that preserves a touch of Venice’s old magic, a welcoming apartment where silence and light play together. Located on the first floor of an old building, the apartment offers three distinct views: a spacious, fully equipped kitchen overlooking the brick walls of the calle; a bedroom with a peaceful view of a canal, where the water and passing boats create a gentle murmur; and a large living room that opens onto a terrace framed by stately buildings. All around, though inaudible, is the city’s lively pulse, where neighbors gather during the day, and in the evening the area fills with the sounds of spritz, cicchetti, and both traditional and ethnic restaurants. Every corner of Venice is easily reached from here via quieter routes, served by vaporetto lines that bypass the Grand Canal and reveal a less-celebrated, yet equally enchanting Venice. Nearby churches house treasures, and Groggia Park is a hidden gem well off the usual tourist paths. The Alilaguna boat from the airport takes 25 minutes to reach a stop very close to the apartment—an unforgettable waterway journey and a beautiful introduction to the city.
