A delightful, sun-filled rooftop apartment in the most desirable are of Venice. The interior is classy and the altana terrace, up a few steps from the living room, is glorious. From that perch take in the domes of San Marco, the rooftops of the city. If that weren't enough, just below are two canals where gondolas glide to and fro. You won't regret the hours you can spend just watching the pace of life on Venetian canals.

Location

The Serenata apartment is steps from Piazza San Marco, Saint Marks Piazza, with the eponymous Basilica. The large piazza flows with life with locals meet and greet as well as with rivers of tourists. You can pause to enjoy classical music and a very expensive cup of coffee in one of the outdoor cafés.  Wander along canal side streets, over a few bridges and there you are.

The location is so central, you can easily reach all the wonders of Venice, returning during the day to drop packages and rest your feet.

Exterior

The building is on a dead end calle. The main door is locked for security. The lobby is large and clean. At this level is a shared laundry room. Serenata is on the 5th Floor (American designation), 4th Italian and an elevator rises all the way.

Interior

Happy first impressions as you step into the large, light filled living room. Windows overlook canals. There is lots of room in the living room with a double sofa bed (can sleep one or two children) and love seat as well as some really pretty pieces of furniture. A statue of a moor shows the way to the steps to the deck. Fine design sense pools all these interesting things together.

The television receives Italian channels, no satellite reception.

In the opposite direction is a large dining space next to the kitchen. The owner is an enthusiastic cook and has made sure that when she spends a weekend in Venice, everything she needs is present in the kitchen.

A short hallway leads to the bedroom with the ensuite bathroom on the immediate right. The bathroom has just been redone all in white tiled curves. A corner shower has glass doors.

The bedroom is not large but has a wall of closets so it is totally functional. The bedroom and bathroom fit under eves, so have a slanted wall, but the eves aren't so deep that you have to duck to accommodate.

Guest Book Testimonials
Absolutely loved the apartment Mar 2010

My wife and I absolutely loved the apartment, the location of the apartment, and Venice. We had visited Venice a few years ago; however we were only there a few days and always wanted to make it back for a longer stay. It worked out perfect for us, because we were fortunate to experience Carnivale for half of our week in Venice and then just like someone flipped a switch, Carnivale was over and we were able to enjoy Venice without the crowds. My wife and I first visited Italy about five years ago and this was our third trip back. We both love visiting Italy not only because of the beauty of the Country, the history, the architecture, the art, but also because the Italian people we have met and come in contact with are so kind and friendly. We were really not expecting the disorganized and brusk reception that we received in Venice from the apartment greeter. I have to say that we were very pleased with the service we received from Italy Perfect and we could not have been happier with Serenata. Serenata is truly a gem of an apartment for visiting Venice, the location could not have been better in our opinion, the furnishings and accommodations made it our little home away from home that we became very attached to. When we visit Venice again we would definitely book Serenata, although perhaps we might request a different greeter.

It was everything that your brochure said it was, and some more so. Oct 2009

Time flies and I have been very remiss in not writing earlier to say how much Liz and I enjoyed our holiday on Serenata a month ago. It was everything that your brochure said it was, and some more so. It was hard to fault it - except perhaps the lack of basic kitchen equipment such as scales, measuring jugs, etc.. We especially enjoyed the roof terrace and spent a lot of time there looking down on the gondoliers, etc on the pathway below.

[I’ll mention the lack of a scale and measuring jugs to the owner; I know she cooks when she is in Venice. I’ve seen Italians cook, they do it all by estimate amd measures at hand, so maybe that’s why those items are missing. My Italian-Italian cook book doesn’t use precise measurements: big spoon, little spoon, a glass-full or a small cup, a fist. a thumb... pb]

Great apartment! Apr 2009

We recently spent 5 nights at Serenata. Our greeter was very charming and helpful.The apartment is very central and safe. It is fully equipped with everything you might need. The terrace was wonderful to sit on. I would highly recommend this apartment. Italy Perfect was very friendly and professional to deal with. Would love to come back and stay here again!
