Do you have a question about this home or the local area?

Comfortable, unfussy and well-connected, this apartment is an excellent place to call home. Although there’s not much natural light and the kitchen is small, there’s plenty of space for the group to spread out – the living room is separate from the dining area, which is ideal if the sofa bed is in use. In terms of location, you’re around a five-minute walk from Piazzale Roma and twenty minutes from San Marco. What’s more, there’s a water bus stop nearby and you’re not far from Venice’s central train station.

Local guide


About Santa Lucia

Santa Lucia station, the car parks, and the hotels that surround it greet you as you arrive in Venice. This means that the area is quite functional, but while the streets around Piazzale Roma are less prepossessing, northeast of the station are some picturesque gardens and one of the main campuses of Ca' Foscari, the main university in the city.
