CĄ LINA IN MERCERIA APARTMENT

The Cą Lina apartment is a very spacious and bright home situated on the third floor of a building without an elevator, ideal for hosting up to 4 people. Its spacious rooms and warm atmosphere make it perfect for those wanting to live an authentic and comfortable stay in the heart of Venice. The house consists of a fully equipped, spacious kitchen, hallway, two bedrooms, a bathroom with a large shower, a sizable living room, and a practical laundry area. The furnishings, characterized by antique furniture and details with traditional Venetian charm, blend harmoniously with modern comforts, creating a warm and elegant environment. In the kitchen, you will find everything needed to make you feel at home: a dishwasher, electric kettle, espresso machine, moka pot, pots, dishes, knives, cutting boards, and many other accessories for cooking in total comfort. The sleeping area includes a master bedroom and a second bedroom with two single beds that can be joined to create an additional double bed upon request. The living room has a comfortable sofa and a large table, ideal for sharing meals or enjoying pleasant moments of relaxation. The house also features a complete laundry room with a washing machine, dryer, and everything needed for ironing. Air conditioning and independent heating ensure maximum comfort in every season. Sheets, towels, and courtesy soaps for the first day of stay are included. Cą Lina also holds a particularly significant family history. During the Second World War, the family′s grandmother lived there, a widow with two small children. In those difficult years, frightened by the presence of the German headquarters located where the post office is now, she installed numerous locks and reinforcements to the entrance door to protect her family. That same door has been meticulously restored in her memory and is now the symbol of a history made of strength, affection, and deep roots, which still lives within the house.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD

The house is located in the heart of San Marco, just steps away from the famous Rialto Bridge, in one of the most lively and characteristic areas of the city. It directly overlooks the historic Mercerie, the famous commercial street that connects Rialto to Piazza San Marco. Here, you can feel the real Venetian energy, among shops, workshops, bars, restaurants, and the constant flow of people that animate the streets throughout the day. In Venice, there are no cars: life is lived walking, meeting, and chatting along the city streets.
The location is perfect for those who wish to stay right in the center and live a dynamic and authentic atmosphere. The Rialto ferry stop is only a 2 minute walk away and can be directly seen from the living room window.
From here, a visit to the famous Rialto Market is a must, one of the most authentic places and beloved by Venetians as well. Among the fruit, vegetable, and fresh fish stands, you can immerse yourself in the colors and scents of the local tradition, buying genuine products at always displayed and fair prices.
Nearby, you will also find numerous Bacari, the typical Venetian taverns where you can savor traditional snacks accompanied by a shadow of wine or a spritz. Creamed cod, anchovies, cuttlefish with polenta, octopus, and many other specialties tell the strong maritime tradition of the city.
