Apartment Rabarbaro

The Rabarbaro luxury apartment to rent in Venice is in a historic Palazzo, located in the San Polo district of Venice, on the square in front of the church of S. Agostino. It is very convenient for Rialto, famous for its bridge, fish and vegetable market, and also the Basilica of Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari and the Chiesa di San Rocco. The San Polo district also has the highest concentration of traditional Venetian tavernas, or ‘bacari’ which serve the delicious Venetian ‘tapas’ called ‘cicchetti’, as well as a variety of wines from both the Veneto area and other regions of Italy. The ‘Ruga Rialto’, the main pedestrian street connecting the Rialto area to Campo San Polo is lined with a variety of shops, many still run by Venetian artisans selling locally-made goods ranging from Italian leather, to clothing, to accessories. On the ground floor of the Palazzo, there is a restaurant, and are several popular restaurants and bars in the immediate vicinity.

The Palazzo has recently been renovated to create nine luxurious rental apartments, each of which is named after one of the spices which started arriving in Venice from 1200, transforming its cuisine, its economy, its art and its lifestyle. Located on the third floor of the Palazzo, Rabarbaro is a one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment measuring 70 m2. It features exposed whitewashed wooden beams, walls in Venetian stucco, oak floors, and a contemporary design. Due to its large space, and with the added convenience of a sofa-bed, it is ideal for both couples and small families. The interior design features natural tones, such as tan and beige with dashes of brass, gold and orange.

On entering the apartment, there is an 18 m2 chef’s kitchen with two windows overlooking the Palazzo’s interior courtyard. The space is equipped with modern appliances, custom-made cabinetry, and a large round table and chairs, with a modern glass chandelier above. A hallway leads to the impressive bedroom with a sitting area overlooking the palazzo’s private garden and canal. The king-size bed faces a flat screen satellite TV. The luxurious bathroom has a walk-in shower in Istrian stone, and gorgeous views of the canal through its round window. Adjoining the bathroom is the living area with sofa bed. The low ceilings here create a cosy atmosphere, while low sofas offer a privileged vantage point for viewing the canal and rooftops.
