Overview
Gently waking to the sound of church bells, lapping water and a singing gondolier just has to be the archetypal Venetian holiday experience. Add a grand pink palazzo, private jetty, access to a lemon scented terrace and views over the most famous canal in the world for a taste of perfection. Here is Regata, a very beautiful third floor apartment five minutes’ walk from St Mark’s square with both living room and master bedroom overlooking the Grand Canal and the iconic Santa Maria della Salute Church.
Breakfast croissants, sumptuous beds decked in the finest Italian linen, marble bathrooms, air conditioning, welcome hamper with a bottle of Bellini, maid service and concierge are all part of the pampering. Aside from such luxuries and beauty this is a home with history - a medieval building transformed in the 17th century into a fine Renaissance palazzo, resided in by the same family for 200 years and recently restored by local artisans.
An elegant spacious hall has antique table, sofa and hat stand, all with stories to tell while the polished wooden door in the comfortable and beautiful living room has been opened by generations. The striking portrait attempting to lure you away from the views is sure to be someone special in the palazzo’s history.
There are more wonderful canal views in the en-suite master bedroom with its custom-designed canopy bed. The charming alcove in the second en suite bedroom has two exquisite oval windows and a settee, the perfect place for a quiet read before breakfast.
Stroll to St Mark’s square to admire the extravagant domes of the Basilica and the smooth lines of the Doge’s Palace, sip a cocktail in Harry’s Bar or simply start your holiday with a vaporetto tour past the colourful palaces and alongside the gondoliers.
La Serenissima is a bewitching city with so many renowned galleries, museums and churches to visit. It’s also a lovely place to just wander and take less direct routes past layers of history where every corner reveals yet another little canal, church, tiny square or enchanting view.

Location
About the surrounding area of Apartment RegataOn the third floor of a historic palazzo in central Venice, Regata enjoys wonderful views of the Grand Canal. If you are arriving at Venice Marco Polo airport then a water taxi will take just 30 minutes and can be pre-booked in advance – the skipper will take you straight to the palazzo’s jetty which can be used for your arrival and departure, alternatively the vaporetto stop is just a brief walk away.
Situated in the heart of Venice, the whole city is easily accessible by vaporetto, water taxi or simply by foot. Start with the five minute walk to St Mark’s Square to gaze at the domes and arches of the Basilica and the Gothic architecture of the Doge’s Palace. Take the lift up the Campanile for amazing views over the city and lagoon. The white Bridge of Sighs, built in 1600, has barred windows through which many prisoners may have had a last glimpse of their beloved city. Enjoy being in the 21st century again, gaze across the lagoon, admire the black silhouettes of the gondolas and head off for a coffee and Venetian cookie near the square.
Sip a Bellini cocktail at nearby Harry’s Bar or take light lunch near the Rialto, a stone arched bridge spanning the narrowest part of the Grand Canal, an amazing engineering achievement of the Renaissance as well as an architectural delight. The famous Rialto market lies north-west of the bridge and is a great place to stock up with peaches, cherries, vegetables and fish.
Take the vaporetto across the Grand Canal to the Basilica di Santa Maria dello Salute, so visible when entering Venice from the lagoon and built as a symbol of thanks after the terrible plague in 1630. Travel further along the canal towards the symbolic lions of Venice outside the Peggy Guggenheim Collection which houses 20th century American and European art. The Galleria dell Accademia has a fine collection of pre-19th century Northern Italian artists such as Titian and Tiepolo.
It’s always great fun to just wander around this enchanting city and marvel at how the buildings stand firm on their wooden stakes in the mud below. You may stumble upon so many delights – little bridges across small canals, a tiny bar for an aperitivo and daily life cameos. You are sure to eventually arrive back at your delightful apartment overlooking the Grand Canal in one of the most wonderful cities of the world.

Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesVenice is magical for kids of all ages and impressions of this extraordinary floating city will last a lifetime.
Start with a vaporetto tour of the Grand Canal and spot the different leisurely crafts on the water – private water taxis, cargo boats, gondolas and speeding police vessels. Look out for lions as you pass the colourful palaces – the winged ones get extra points. Visit a mask maker, buy one to take home, sit back on a gondola or visit the glassblowers on the island of Murano (45 minutes via vaporetto).
Courageous children will enjoy the spooky tour through the prisons in the Doge’s Palace. For greenery and space, pick up a vaporetto from San Zacccaria stop near San Marco to Giardini Pubblici, ideal for picnics and with playground and grotto.
For a complete change, head to the Lido for beachcombing on the white stretches of sand or hire a bike to explore the local area.

Nous reviendrons sûrement
Avec un peu de retard, je voulais vous dire que nous avions passé un séjour mémorable à Venise. L’appartement était superbe, la météo était au diapason sans oublier la vie, les musées, la restauration,… Nous reviendrons sûrement.

Wonderful time
Thank you again for the wonderful time we had in Venice. I pride myself on selecting great places to stay for my family and feel we outdid ourselves with Venice, thanks to you.

The apartment is well equipped and in a very pleasant environment. The view is fabulous and the apartment is immaculate. Everyone was kind and helpful. the organisation was perfect. We were there for the third time and I am sure to be back again.

What a view!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Regata. The staff were brilliant and couldn't have been more charming, their English is excellent. The equipment was excellent, enough to make a simple meal. It was much appreciated having the Nespresso machine with ample apsules. The water being replenished every day was much appreciated. Apartment was tidy and clean, bed was incredibly comfortable, plenty of hot water and what a view! A simple Venice guide book and map would have been helpful. We brought our own. We loved the wonderful books in the apartment.
-
Second time in the apartment
It was the second time in the apartment, and I think it was not the last. The view, the standing of the palazzo, the atmosphere is amazing. The equipment was absolutely perfect. The bathroom would be more comfortable with robes. The service is correct, precise.
Don't miss out! Reserve now and get a full refund if you change your mind within 48hrs.
