Profile |
Five minutes from Piazzale Roma and the train station, at Ca' Barba Venetian life opens up before you: from the morning coffee at the famous patisserie below the apartment to the evening aperitif - the classic "spritz" - in one of the many bars of Campo Santa Margherita. In the nearby neighborhood, there are plenty of shops to buy the basics or indulge your whims. |
The area is rich in Art History: the Accademia Gallery; the Frari Basilica which boasts works by Titian and Bellini; the Scuola Grande di San Rocco with its Tintoretto decoration; the magnificent 18th century Ca' Rezzonico rising from the Grand Canal, with its masterpieces by Tiepolo, Guardi and Canaletto. |
The Dorsoduro Area has numerous charming areas to visit and stroll around; the Square of San Trovaso is one of the most delightful.
Here one can still witness the traditional art of gondola building. |
