Palazzetto San Stin Renewed in 2024

NEW LISTING

An independent ‘upside-down house’ in laid-back Campo San Stin,
Just moments from the Frari and ‘bellissimo’ within!

Situated on the sunny, south-facing side of the centrally placed campo, which acts as a scenic (and very convenient!) segue on foot between the Rialto and Santa Croce districts to the north and the Dorsoduro district to the south, this delightful new property sleeps 5 in freshly refurbished accommodation designed with easy living and your full enjoyment in mind.

Steps away from the Venice Italian School (the first of its kind in Venice) specialising in language courses for individuals and small groups of adults (see our www.vovconcierge.com website for further details!), and from the very popular-with-locals, cicchetti-serving bars Brillo Parlante, Il Vizietto, Bar Venetico, plus the canal-side La Bottiglia (skilled at conjuring up some of the most heavenly made-to-order panini I think we’ve EVER tasted!), Palazzetto San Stin offers 3 bedrooms/3 bathrooms spread over 3 floors of the property with both upper floors reached by stairs.*

Rise in the morning to a glimpse of the 14th-century Frari (the largest and one of the most impressive of all Venice’s churches), or make a lazy start to the day while observing your timeless neighbourhood spring to life from the comfort and privacy of this Venetian ‘casa’ to call home...

Within a stone’s throw of the Scuola Grande di San Rocco with its breathtaking Tintoretto paintings, and offering air-conditioning throughout along with Wi-Fi connection and a genuine Venetian ambience thanks to the buzz of local life played out around the campo’s central Istrian stone wellhead, Palazzetto San Stin’s bright and airy accommodation unfolds behind its faded terracotta-pink façade and comprises:

For arrivals between 8.00 p.m. and midnight there is an additional cost for "late arrival" of Euro 50, to be paid in cash upon arrival. We organize arrivals between midnight and one o'clock with an additional cost of Euro 100, after this time we reserve the right to accept the customer always with a supplement to be quantified according to the time of arrival.

OUR COMMENT

A fabulous find on a charming campo in an authentic locale! – bright, cheerful and spacious – and pivotal to all the sights of the San Polo, Santa Croce and Dorsoduro sestieres, with easy access to the ‘traghetto’ at San Tomà, which ferries passengers by gondola across the Grand Canal to Garzoni / San Samuele in the district of San Marco.

Within a gentle stroll of a fantastic selection of restaurants and bars including (but not only!) Frary’s (for candlelit Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine), Il Mercante (for cocktails), Birreria La Corte and Muro Frari (with menus to suit most tastes), the long-standing Da Ignazio with its courtyard garden (for fish and seafood), for fine dining... Wisteria (awarded one Michelin star), Do Forni and Estro... and last, but not least, not forgetting Pizza 2000 near Campo Sant’ Agostin for excellent made-to-order takeaway pizza!

Very close to the Palazzetto Bru Zane ‘Centre de Musique Romantique Française’, the wide and open Campo San Polo, the Scuola Grande San Giovanni Evangelista and (for the young at heart!) the Creature di Gomma Venice Vintage Toy Museum for transporting you back to your childhood!

Within easy reach of the vaporetto (water bus) stops at San Tomà and San Silvestro for convenient travel about the city, and close to a several well-stocked supermarkets for all your self-catering needs – a Conad near the Frari and another on the Rio Marin Canal, a COOP at Campo San Giacomo Dell’Orio, and a Crai at Campo San Tomà.

Also within a reasonably short walk of Piazzale Roma (Venice’s coach and car / taxi disembarkation point) and Venice’s Santa Lucia Station on the Grand Canal (only if feeling energetic and travelling light!)
