Cà d'Oro Canal View House (apartment)

Home description

The apartment "Cà d'Oro House" is a residential flat furnished in a refined style and ideally located, close to Campo Santi Apostoli, just two minutes walking from the Cà d'Oro and three minutes walking from the Rialto Bridge. "Cà d'Oro House" (72 mq) is easily reachable by public and private transport: it's far only 200 metres (no bridges) from the Cà d'Oro water bus stop, while the private taki can bring You directly to the house because we have a private stop on the canal "Rio dei Santi Apostoli". The flat, completly refurnished in 2006, consits of: a spacious living-room with a comfortable sofa bed (which become a bed for two people) and a big and well-equipped kitchen (with also a dish washer), two double rooms (both with a king size bed: if You prefer, we can prepare separate beds), two bathrooms, each one with a shower. The apartment has a very beautiful canal view: it overlooks a picturesque canal passed by a lot of gondolas. The apartment is at the first floor and it can accommodate up to six people. The flat is quiet despite being in a central location. Also, a few steps away from the apartment, there are a large well stocked supermarket, a bakery, a fresh fruit and veg shop and also one of the best ice cream parlours in Venice. Having all these facilities on the doorstep, particularly the supermarket, is a great advantage for self caterers. The owners Paolo and Francesca will be at your disposal for useful information and suggestions for your stay in Venice.

The North East Italy / Veneto region

Venice is famous throughout the world.

Venice / Central Venice area

According to tradition, Venice was founded in 421 AD on April 25th, St.Mark's day, who is the patron saint of Venice. The most important village in the lagoon by that time is not Venice but Torcello, where in 639 the gorgeous Cathedral was built, and where many people are seeking refuge from barbarian invasions.

In Venice the Doges' government is established: the first historically known doge is Orso Ipato (in 726). The year 814 is the starting date of the construction of Palazzo Ducale (Doges' Palace) in what i s today St. Mark's Square. The Basilica St. Mark's instead was began in 834, but this first basilica went burnt down. Venice is spreading its commercial boundaries: in 1000 its fleet defeats the pirates of the Adriatic sea. Then Venice takes part to the Crusades, the war campaigns aimed to free Jerusalem. For Venice this is a business opportunity and expansion chance as well. Many works of art are taken to Venice as a booty: for instance, the four bronze horses of St. Mark's. The original bronzes can now be seen in St.Mark's museum, whilst the four horses on the Basilica's facade are perfect copies.

The journey of the Venetian merchant Marco Polo from Venice to China is one of the most fascinating true stories of Middle Ages (1271-95). His adventure and the meeting with Gengis Khan are told in the book 'Il Milione'. In 1348, Venice population is halved by the plague. In spite of this, Venice succeeds in becoming the leader of the 4 seapowers of Mediterranean Sea: the other ones were the Republics of Amalfi, Genoa and La Spezia. In 1489 Venice conquers the island of Cyprus. In 1516 the first Ghetto in the world is founded in Venice. Another great plague affects Italy in 1630, and for Serenissima Repubblica this is the beginning of the decadence. Giacomo Casanova is not a legend: he was born in 1725 in Venice. The myth of the irresistible seductor and lover told his story in the book 'Memorie di Giacomo Casanova'. Teatro La Fenice, which was destroyed by fire in 1996 and re-opened in 2004, was founded in 1790.

Repubblica Serenissima di Venezia, the Venetian Republic, was defeated by Napoleon in 1797 and it became a part of the Hapsburg Empire (Austria). Venetians attempt to free their land from the Hapsburg (1848). In 1860 the army of Giuseppe Garibaldi make it possible for Italy to become a nation under the reign of the Savoia dynasty; Venice will join Italy in 1866 after the 3rd Independence War. St. Mark's square bell tower collapses in 1902: there are photos and postcards of this impressive events, and they can be bought in Venice. The bell tower had to be re-built completely, in 1912, as we see it now. Fortunately, during the 2nd World War (1940-45), Venice was not bombed: both sides respected the most gorgeous city on earth. A flood in 1966 causes serious damages: water level reached 2 metres. In many churches and palaces they put a sign marking the reached water level.
