The Nobile Garden Studio is favorably located in Venice's Castello district, a relatively quiet area in the eastern part of the city. A short 6 minutes' walk from the palazzo leads to St. Mark's Square. Nearby is the Arsenal where the great ships of the Venetian Empire were built and where one finds the best naval museum in Italy, the Museo Storico Navale. Here, the history of Italian warships is documented alongside the more pacific history of the gondola. Heading west along the Riva degli Schiavoni, one catches a glimpse of the famous Bridge of Sighs before reaching Piazza San Marco itself.

The extravagant Basilico di San Marco remains 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. Other interesting monuments in the vicinity include the Scuola di San Giorgio degli Schiavoni, with its Renaissance fresco cycle illustrating the lives of the patron saints of Dalmatia, and the art-filled churches of San Giovanni in Bragora, Santi Giovanni e Paolo and San Zaccaria.

The Nobile Garden Studio is located on the ground 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" for those arriving by water taxi or from a passageway from Salizzada dei Greci. The apartment is a single, pleasant space with parquet floors, a convertible "Murphy" bed, a tidy kitchenette with range and microwave and a dining table for two, and a newly refurbished bathroom with shower. A door opens out on a lovely garden.

On the palazzo's second floor is a separate large, elegant apartment sleeping 7, owned by the same owner, which can be rented separately to accommodate a total of 9. A utility room on the ground floor with bathroom and washer and dryer can be used by guest in the studio, shared with the property owner and residents of the upstairs apartment.
