Venice area, Veneto - Venice. Apartment, near the sea
The apartment is on the second floor of the 15th century Palazzo Manolesso, not far from the Arsenal.You come through the main door of the palazzo on the Campo into an unkempt courtyard/garden with magnolia and oak trees and a water gate to the canal, Rio degli Scudi.
The large double reception room faces south and west over the garden and canal and has marvellous views.The bedrooms both look over the canal, one with a double bed and the other with 2 single beds. There are 2 bathrooms, one with a bath and a smaller one, newly made, with a shower, both with wash basins and lavatories. The kitchen is a good size and has been newly re-fitted with sink, dishwasher, cooker (gas rings and electric oven) and fridge, as well as the usual kitchen equipment, plates, glasses etc. It has chairs and a table for 6 at one end. All linen is provided, including towels. The arrangement with the maid is that she cleans the apartment before guests arrive and doed the same after they leave (included in the rent) but does not come while they are there. The apartment is let on a weekly basis, normally from Wednesday to Wednesday, so that visitors can take advantage of the cheaper mid-week fares.
Venice is world-famous for its canals. It is built on an archipelago of 118 islands formed by about 150 canals in a shallow lagoon. The islands on which the city is built are connected by about 400 bridges. In the old center, the canals serve the function of roads, and every form of transport is on water or on foot. In the 19th century a causeway to the mainland brought a railway station to Venice, and an automobile causeway and parking lot was added in the 20th century. Beyond these land entrances at the northern edge of the city, transportation within the city remains, as it was in centuries past, entirely on water or on foot. Venice is Europe's largest urban carfree area, unique in Europe in remaining a sizable functioning city in the 21st century entirely without motorcars or trucks.
The classical Venetian boat is the gondola, although it is now mostly used for tourists, or for weddings, funerals, or other ceremonies. Most Venetians now travel by motorised waterbuses ("vaporetti") which ply regular routes along the major canals and between the city's islands. The city also has many private boats. The only gondolas still in common use by Venetians are the traghetti, foot passenger ferries crossing the Grand Canal at certain points without bridges.
