Flat Greci View

House's courtyard.
House's courtyard
Greci View is a charming, bright, and spacious flat (130 sq. M), with three bedrooms which will accommodate up to five people. It is one of our favourite flats in Venice.

You will enjoy the breath-taking views of San Giorgio Maggiore Island, her famous Campanile as well as the bridges of Pietà dei Greci.

You will also have a unique view of the famous San Giorgio dei Greci’s leaning bell tower and the church’s domed cupola.

This large and bright flat has many comforts to guarantee a wonderful holiday in Venice.

It is especially well decorated and furnished. It is located in a distinctive area in the Castello that remains truly Venetian.

Additionally, there are several quality food shops nearby.

Lastly, a Wi-Fi Internet connexion is available throughout the flat.

The flat is on the fourth floor (no lift, 72 steps) a factor that is more than offset by the unique views of Venice that will enhance your stay.


The Hall and the First Lounge

The Flat's Hall.
The Hall
An expansive L-shaped central hall leads to all the flat’s rooms.

In fact, the hall is a room by itself due to its large area (more than 30 sq. M) and its fine furniture.

A large skylight brings light into the hall, and its floor, as in old Venetian Palaces, is “Terrazzo alla Veneziana” (made with little pieces of coloured marble).

An antique table and padded chairs decorate the main area.

The Location in Venice – Map

Greci View flat is very well located in Venice, in the district of Castello, between the big and beautiful Campo (place) of the Bragora and Saint-Mark’s Square.

This part of the Castello in Venice has also remained authentically Venetian as well as charming and romantic.

Shopping

As the majority of the people living here are resident Venetians, you will have no problem food shopping, including excellent fresh pasta from the Salizada dei Greci, only a two-minute walk from the flat, where you will be able to buy, in our opinion, the best ravioli in Venice.

And there are also several gifts shops nearby!
