Join your Venetian neighbors in the Campo della Maddalena where they catch up on family and the news. Or, just watch out your windows to see Venice go by on the Maddalena bridge and the canal that runs underneath it.

In an 18th century building in Canareggio, the inviting apartment is on the third floor American with no elevator. It is easy to reach from the usual starting points in Venice by foot or vaporetto (water bus). And it is also a nice walk to the famous sites of the city.

The Grazie apartment is spacious and welcoming. The open living room has two large windows overlooking Ponte Maddalena. Inside, between the windows, is a large, handsome bureau. When you have a chance to settle into the apartment, you'll find charming small decorative touches around the apartment. The floor is terrazzo a marble conglomerate covered, cool in the summer, carpeted in the winter.

A dining table for four separates the living room area from the large kitchenette and serves for additional preparation space. The kitchen has a four burner stove top, electric oven and small refrigerator as well as plenty of cabinets and space for dishes, pots, pans and preparation items that are there for your use.

The bedroom, also large and luminous with a view of the Maddalena canal, is charmingly old fashioned and romantic. The head and foot boards are beautiful antiques that have been joined to accommodate a bed composed of two twin mattresses side by side that, together, are almost as wide as a king.

The large bathroom has a new, modern shower as well as a washing machine. A clothes line is just outside the windows. The bathroom overlooks the Maddalena canal that hosts smaller boats. You can watch the boats go by as you brush your teeth.
