About this property
Ca Lion, next Biennale
Ca Lion is a spacious apartment, recently renovated with an eye for comfort and functionality, located in one of the most desirable areas of Venice, in the Sestiere di Castello. Its strategic location offers the convenience of being a short distance from St. Mark's Square and the Biennale exhibition area. Despite being well served by public transportation and commercial activities, the apartment is located in a quiet and residential area. THE SPACE The Cà Lion apartment, located on the mezzanine floor, offers a refined and comfortable living experience, ideal for those seeking a quiet stay with the opportunity to enjoy moments outdoors. Access to the apartment reveals an exclusive uncovered (courtyard), furnished with table and chairs, perfect for organizing pleasant evenings outdoors, where guests can dine under the stars or simply relax in the tranquility of the area. Internally, Ca' Lion is distinguished by a spacious and cozy living area, where a comfortable sofa is positioned in front of a television, offering an ideal corner for relaxation and entertainment. The living area is designed to ensure comfort and functionality, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. In the same large space, you will find the kitchen, modernly equipped and designed for those who love to cook. Equipped with the latest appliances and various utensils, the kitchen offers everything you need to prepare delicious meals as if you were in your own home. Adjacent to the kitchen, the dining room invites convivial moments, with a table and chairs where guests can enjoy meals in an elegant and comfortable setting. The bedrooms are designed to ensure a peaceful and restful sleep. The first bedroom has a king-size bed, offering a relaxing and minimalist environment with spacious closets to conveniently store personal belongings. The second room, perfect for additional guests or children, has two single beds, also equipped with spacious closets for optimal space organization. Every detail in Cà Lion is thought out to ensure a pleasant and carefree stay, where design meets functionality to offer a unique and unforgettable experience in one of the city's most evocative and tranquil corners. THE QUARTER The Sestiere di Castello offers an authentic immersion in Venetian life, far from the beaten tourist routes. Bordering the vibrant energy of St. Mark's, Castello stretches from the eastern end of the island to the Giardini della Biennale, a green lung that hosts the acclaimed art and architecture exhibition. To stroll through Castello is to discover a different Venice: here, artisan stores alternate with small bars frequented by locals, and the calli wind in a labyrinth that tells stories of an authentic, lived-in Venice. Campo della Bragora, one of the beating hearts of the sestiere, is a vivid expression of this local identity, where the church of San Giovanni in Bragora, with its works of art and thousand-year history, overlooks a square that is still the scene of meetings and community life. Close to the Biennale, Castello is transformed, becoming a crossroads of cultures and arts. During the Biennale's events, artists, critics and enthusiasts from around the world flock to its avenues, bringing with them a wave of creativity and innovation that mixes with the everyday life of the sestiere. The Giardini, with their historic national pavilions, become a mosaic of contemporary trends and thoughts, a dialogue between the local and the international that reflects the very nature of Venice. Castello is not only art and everyday life; it is also history and nature. With its arsenals, once the beating heart of Venetian maritime power, and its religious and civic architecture, the sestiere tells centuries of Venetian history. At the same time, the areas closest to the Giardini offer glimpses of greenery and water, rare in the city, where the slow rhythm of the waves and the rustle of leaves speak of another Venice, more intimate and reflective. To live in or visit the Sestiere di Castello is therefore to immerse oneself in an urban fabric dense with history, art and daily life, where every corner holds stories of the past and present, and where the most authentic Venice continues to live, pulsate and inspire.

Very clean property in a great location. Plenty of space for our family of four — two adults and two kids. Some noise from upstairs apartment in the middle of the night. And note that Venice has very strict trash rules so you need to take the trash from your stay unless you are able to time a trash pickup well. But overall, good place to stay for a couple of nights in a great Venice location. The hosts/management company also arranged our water taxi from the airport which was seamless and a highlight of the trip.
