About this property

Situated on Giudecca Island, La Residenza luxury apartment rental dates back to the 16th century, and was formerly the home of a number of Venetian noble families. In the early part of the 20th century, it became an upscale pensione, catering to an eclectic clientele of painters, writers and actors. In 2011 it was completely renovated, retaining original features, and divided into apartments, to create a residential villa with hotel services. These Venice luxury apartments to rent are really outstanding with unbelievably spacious and luxurious accommodation - a stay here is a truly unique experience! Moreover, its location on Giudecca Island offers peace and tranquillity, yet just 4 minutes by boat to San Marco. The magnificent views from the front apartments are directly across the water to Piazza San Marco.
