WELCOME TO THE LOVERS - LUXURY APARTMENTS IN VENICE

This accommodation springs from an idea my family and I had of wanting to design something different from the usual accommodation facilities found in the city: carefully thought-out apartments for those who are in love with beauty, comfort, life, Venice and love itself.

The apartments have been furnished with the finest finishing touches: extra-large beds, 25cm shower heads, induction hob with LED lighting, romantic wallpaper, antique furniture combined with crystal tables, designer sofas and chairs; all to make your stay, however short, of the highest quality.

We have created a little love nest for you, where you can switch off for a few days, to be together, or to enjoy family time in the city of Venice whose every corner amazes no matter the season.

THE LOVERS - LUXURY APARTMENTS IN VENICE

The accommodation consists of two extremely elegant apartments which are located in Campo Sant’Aponal, in the San Polo district, a neighbourhood filled with people who live and work there; the area also has plenty of typical Venetian restaurants known as “bacari”. The liveliest area of the neighbourhood is without a doubt Rialto, with its fish and fruit and vegetable markets: a busy, bustling, typically Venetian place.

It is in a central location and is served by the “San Silvestro” vaporetto stop, just two minutes away.

The entrance to The Lovers is in Calle Sbianchesini, at number 1159; you will receive a phone message with the entrance code for the ground floor door and an access code for the door of your apartment.

GETTING AROUND VENICE

Venice is a magical place unlike any other city in the world because there are no cars here and everyone goes on foot, walking around lulled by the lapping of the calm lagoon waters, enveloped in the fog on a winter’s night, and kissed on the shoulders by the summer stars.

Walking Tour 3.30 hours : Hidden Venice + Bacaro Tour (Cicheti and Wine)

Wine and Cicchetti Experience

Food and Beverage are always an essential aspect of a country. But maybe in Italy this is even more true, because here food has so many emotional implications that sometimes it becomes a ritual! In Venice there is a tradition which connects different generations: “bevar un’ombra”, to drink a “shadow” of wine. To accompany the wine, is agreeable to eat something: a little “cicchetto” -tidbit- makes the perfect combination. The variety of cicchetti is huge: slices of crusty bread stuffed with different cheese or cold cuts, and decorated with flowers; or little portions of fish or polenta; meatballs and fried vegetables… And in the meantime, Venetians love to converse about the day…. This is the perfect tour to taste the real rhythm of Venice!

Kids Tour

Travelling with kids can be challenging… but Venice will surely remain etched in their memory. As a tour guide, and mom of two, I consider kids my VIP guests: happy kids make happy parents! Therefore, I have created a tour that takes them in a treasure hunt through Saint Mark Area. They will learn a lot about Venice without even noticing it! At the end of the tour, good explorers will receive a little surprise!

Venetians legends and ghosts

A city rich in history like Venice also hides shadows and mysteries: severed heads that emerge from the waters, flying mortars, bronze runaway horses, petrified thieves, suspended torture, wrong judgements, enterprising prostitutes … a tour with a high entertainment index!

INTERESTING FACTS

Who were Veronica?

Veronica Franco, a cultured woman and acclaimed poet in sixteenth-century Venice, was also a courtesan. A little too smart for the standards of the day and with a bewitching charm, she was accused of witchcraft. She has always been remembered, however, as an example of a free, independent and proud woman.

Veronica was born in Venice in 1546 to “native citizens” of the island. Their economic status meant that she could present herself socially as a young lady of the middle class. She therefore received a good education along with her brothers.

From a young age she was prepared for the profession of courtesan by her mother, who had also been a courtesan herself.

Veronica married a doctor but soon freed herself from the union. After separating from the husband she no longer cared for and having had a child, she returned to the profession in order to support herself, becoming an “honest courtesan”, cultured and high ranking. Her clients were mainly prelates, artists, aristocrats and men of letters.

Who was Casanova?

Giacomo Casanova, undisputed symbol of the adulterous side of Venice, was a man of many faces. Writer and poet, adventurer and explorer and, surprisingly, secret agent, he led a dissolute life filled with luxury, elegance and lust.

Born in 1725, he travelled a great deal as a young man, but never forgot his home city of Venice. He was a libertine, seducer of courtesans and actresses as well as aristocratic ladies and nuns, which eventually led to his imprisonment in “The Leads” prison, charged with dissolute conduct, affront to religion and incitement to freemasonry. His imprisonment ended with a daring escape, followed by a necessary exile around Europe. He returned to Venice after eighteen years of travels. Back in the lagoon city, he offered his services as a spy for the same inquisitors that years before had convicted him, in order to be pardoned. He had a rich, adventure-filled life, but he is remembered not so much for that as for his “spicier” adventures. He recounted his adventures seasoning them with details about his love life, counting more than 120 women seduced, but for him, it was not the number that mattered so much as the capacity and desire to truly love the women he conquered, falling in love with each one, without thinking of the numbers.
