Photos and Description of the San Marco vacation apartment rental
Lovely flat with balcony on the Merceria dell' Oralagio sleeps 5

St Mark Residence is a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom comfortable apartment adjacent to San Marco Piazza on the Merceria dell'Oralagio with a balcony in the heart of Venice.

Recently refurbished, it affords the visitor tranquility in the very centre of this exciting and unique city. Listen to Vivaldi as you sip prosecco on the terrace under the watchful eye of St Mark on the glorious domes of the Basilica and relax at the end of a perfect day of sightseeing and exploring the dazzling array of unique attractions that is magical Venice. Enjoy the orchestras in the St Mark's Piazza at nighttime en route to a romantic stroll along the waterfront and gaze at the Laguna.

The two bathrooms allow two couples to share and a fifth guest can be accommodated behind a screen in the living room. Enjoy the many restaurants and bars in the heart of Venice and if you feel like eating in, the compact kitchen (newly installed in 2012) will allow you serve the lovely local produce found in the local shops and markets. Avail of the balcony and eat outside and watch the gunmetal Moors on the Clock Tower keeping time as they have done for centuries! The Merceria dell'Oralagio, our street is an amazing mixture of designer shops, with eyecatching displays showcasing beautiful Italian crafts like the

locally produce Murano Glass. It is the main entrance to the world renowned St Mark's Square and yet has the advantage of peaceful evenings and the chance to enjoy this world Heritage, Unesco protected site leisurely when all the other tourists have left!

Art classes, Italian classes, cultural tours and sightseeing tours are among the many organised trips you can

avail of in Venice where approximately 20 million visitors come annually to marvel at the magic that is Venice.

You can negotiate La Serenissima yourself using an array of useful guidebooks written by others who have

visited and loved Venice before you. The rail links are very good and you can also explore other beautiful Italian

cities like Verona, Padua, Florence, Rome and many many more from here. Venice however has enough beauty

and wonder to keep the average person exploring them for many years and you will find yourself drawn back to

her again and again.

About Mrs Leonora O'Sullivan

We bought this apartment in 2008 and refurbished it in 2009. Every year since then we have updated or upgraded some aspect of the

apartment. In 2010 we installed a new boiler, in 2012 a new

kitchen and in 2013 WIFI and new airconditioning. We absolutely love spending time here and love the fact that we are

so close to virtually every attraction in Venice. St Mark's Square at nighttime when the main body of tourists have gone home, exhibits a sort of magical surreal quality, its perfect beauty complemented by the various orchestras with musicians from all over the world. I cannot imagine anyone tiring of this unique setting.

Mrs Leonora O'Sullivan purchased this apartment in 2008
Why Mrs Leonora O'Sullivan chose San Marco

The chance of having an apartment so close to the unique World Heritage, Unesco site of St Mark's Square in Venice was a very

special opportunity for us and very rare (we bought it from an Italian business person who, in turn had received it as a family inheritance). It is also comfortable and pleasant to spend time in.

What makes this apartment unique

Proximity to St Mark's Square and ease of access to all other

Venetian attractions.

enjoy the benign gaze of St Mark on the Byzantium Domes of his Cathedral when we sit on our balcony. The

Laguna and all its beauty and mysteries lies another few minutes from our apartment and a small canal lies at the

end of our street. A mere few minutes walk will bring you to the waterfront where you can access all the islands of the Laguna including the Lido. We are within walking distance( 5 minutes on foot) of The Rialto famous for its wonderful markets and the majestic Grand Canal.

Other Activities: Guided tours and lectures on Venice and the

surrounding Veneto region. Day trips to Verona, Padua and

and the Brenta Canal. Wine and Language tours and courses.

Notes: St Mark residence, a two bedroomed apartment with balcony in the heart of Venice offers you the opportunity to stay in an unbeatable central location adjacent to St Mark's Square.You can enjoy a glass of prosecco on the balcony with St Mark looking down on you from the Basilica The gunmetal men on the Clock Tower will obligingly mark the time for you and at night or early in the morning you can have the Piazza San Marco virtually to yourself. The hustle and bustle of people leaving St Mark's takes place in the busy Mercerie full of designer shops below the apartment yet in the morning all you will hear will be the birds and the chiming of clocks. The warren of streets, canals and vaporetto stops that make up Venice are so easy to navigate when every sign directs you to St Marks, so you will never get lost. Its the perfect place to explore this magical, unique city and we hope that you will enjoy it as much as we do. Smoking on balcony. Children over 9 allowed

Roof Top Terrace

5 of 5
Submitted: October 28, 2012 Stayed: September 2012
We had a wonderful stay, enjoyed everyting about your apartment, especially the roof top terrace, we had every meal we could outside. We discovered the local markets and The Coop, your kitchen had everything we needed. You represented the stairs perfectly in the apartment description and we felt the exercise allowed us all a few more bites of pasta and glasses of wine. I am recommending your apartment to everyone I know who is visiting Venice.

The bottle of wine waiting was awesome - after a glass we headed to the restaurant that Irene (our contact person who was a dear) recommended - a perfect way to start our Venice stay.

Thank you The Olson's and The Mace's from Seattle Area
Owner's Response: Thanks so much for your lovely review, I hope you will get the opportunity to come to Venice
again and we would very much like to host your future visits! Best wishes, Leonora

We really enjoyed our second stay in this charming, well equipped and comfortable apartment - this time for our daughter's graduation trip. Its perfect location behind San Marco allows easy access to everywhere in the city - and beyond. San Marco at night is particularly attractive and has a great atmosphere once the daytrippers have left. The weather was glorious and allowed us to make lots of use of the lovely balcony - for breakfasts and our evening Bellinis - all ingredients bought locally! We love Venice and St Marks Residence and hope to return sooner rather than later. Thanks Leonora. DS&L.

We can't say enough good about this apartment. It was perfect for our needs.
The location was perfect--right off San Marco Square.
The veranda was wonderful-- we ate our meals, relaxed, enjoyed the clock tower and watched people down below. This beautiful veranda is the reward for climbing 5 flights of stairs. It's worth it!
The amenities were good throughout the apartment.
The kitchen was well equipped.
The shutters close and block out light.
The bathrooms were modern and very clean.
Very private for two couples, with separate bedrooms and baths.
It is very close to a water bus stop.
It is very quiet, except for the bells, which makes it pleasantly European.
The owner, Leonora was wonderful to deal with and we appreciate her kindness.

Brilliant flat in a fantastic location

What a superb flat! It was very clean, well furnished and quiet, yet just 50 metres from St Marks Square. It was great to be able to cater for ourselves and then sit out on the balcony to eat! The stairs up to the flat are wide and well lit so that it feels very safe. We were met on arrival by the agent who explained everything to us and the whole stay there was superb. Would thoroughly recommend it and hope to be able to go back there soon!

Great Apartment!

My husband, daughter, and I stayed at this apartment during our 5-day visit to Venice. We could not have picked a better spot. We were just a stone's throw from Piazza San Marco, which put us right at the center of this fabulous city while also allowing us to take a time out in order to have lunch or just a rest from sightseeing. The apartment itself is well-maintained, clean and tastefully decorated. It consists of two restful bedrooms (both with their own bathrooms), a well-appointed little kitchen, a nice sitting room, and, best of all, a wonderful roof-top balcony -- perfect for an evening glass of prosecco. All three of us agreed that staying here was so much better than being in a hotel. We were able to do a a little catering for ourselves, which saved some money. But we also felt more at home -- a little less like tourists, a little more like short-term residents. I am delighted we happened upon this apartment, and I would highly recommend it to others.
