Appartamento Nobile is located on the second floor of the striking 16th century Palazzo Salvioni, believed to have been constructed by the prominent Venetian architect Jacopo Sansovino. The palazzo overlooks and can be entered from the Rio della Pietà, a lovely Venetian "water street." Guests can arrive by water taxi or via a passageway from Salizzada dei Greci.

Appartamento Nobile is located in Venice's Castello district, a relatively quiet area in the eastern part of the city. A short walk of about six minutes leads to St. Mark's Square. Visit the nearby Arsenal, where the great ships of the Venetian Empire where built, and the Museo Storica Navale, possibly the best naval museum in Italy. Head west along the Riva degli Schiavoni to catch a glimpse of the famous Bridge of Sighs before reaching Piazza San Marco itself. The extravagant Basilico di San Marco is one of Venice's most impressive sights and a climb to the top of the Campanile is well rewarded with views over the city and the Venetian lagoon and, on a clear day, as far as the spectacular Dolomite Mountains.

Enter the apartment into an impressive grand salon with frescoed 18-foot ceiling, Oriental carpets, original paintings, antique furniture and a Venetian chandelier. Charming terrazze Veneziane grace each end of the room, one overlooking the canal and Isola di San Giorgio Maggiore and the other overlooking the palazzo garden. The room somehow manages to be not only sumptuous and quintessentially Venetian, but also comfortable. Doors from this central room lead to each of the other rooms — a master bedroom with en-suite bathroom with tub, a second twin-bedded room, and a bathroom with shower just across the hall is a cozy study, with satellite TV, telephone and internet connection; and a modern, fully-equipped eat-in kitchen.

The mezzanine level up one flight offers a spacious double bedroom, bathroom with shower and small single (Cinderella) room, accessed through the double room.

All of the bedrooms are air-conditioned.

On the ground floor (separate from the apartment) is a laundry room with washer and dryer.

This apartment can be rented with the Nobile Garden Studio to accommodate two additional guests.
