Perfekt til to med udsigt over kanalen!

A charmingly evocative bolthole for two in the building once lived in by the 16th Century Italian Renaissance painter Tintoretto and within a minute of his final resting place in the beautiful gothic Church of Madonna Dell 'Orto (Our Lady of the Garden). Close to the historic Jewish Ghetto and the Jewish Museum of Venice and steps away from the famous turbaned and metal-nosed statues of the ancient 'Moorish' spice merchants of Campo and Fondamenta Dei Mori - symbolic reminders of Venice's historic trading routes with the East, the legacy of which survives to this day amidst the hubbub and commerce of the Rialto markets, a mere 10-15 minute stroll and short 'traghetto' ride away from the apartment.





Elegant, bright and with beautifully languid south-facing views over the Rio Della Sensa canal, the air-conditioned* Ca' Tintoretto is on the first floor and is attractively furnished with a stylishly eclectic mix of antiques, contemporary pieces, books and collectables. It has a cosy and freshly decorated beamed sitting/dining room with comfortable seating, wooden flooring, eastern rugs, a music system and two large windows with wrought iron balustrades which overlook the canal, a bridge and the occasional art-lover successful in hunting down and photographing this historically significant landmark.





Just off this main room lies a compact and very well-fitted kitchen and, to the side, a spacious and dreamy 'boudoir' - a cleverly divided space featuring a double bed and modern en suite shower room at one end, an enormous wall-to-wall sofa directly overlooking the room's beautiful arched window at the other and a perfect spot for idling away the time while contemplating your choice of restaurant for lunch or dinner as the boats gently pass by.





In an area of wonderful walks through the laid-back and very traditional neighbourhoods of Cannaregio and within easy reach of a growing number of restaurants and 'osterie' such as 'Anice Stellato', 'Rioba', 'Ristorante Diana' and 'Al Timon' dotted along the wide waterfronts of the Fondamente De La Sensa, Della Misericordia and Dei Ormesini, not forgetting the Osteria L'Orto dei Mori just steps away from the apartment.





Convenient for the shops of the Strada Nuova for stocking up on supplies and to the vaporetto system at Madonna Dell' Orto (on Venice's northern embankment) for travel around the city, trips to beaches of the Lido and for sightseeing visits to the glass-blowing island of Murano, the lace-making and rainbow-coloured island of Burano and the ancient island of Torcello with its 7th Century Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta and later Church of Santa Fosca.
