Ca' Tornielli is the result of a carefully considered restoration of a fine mid-19th Century Venetian building situated right in the centre of Venice. The apartment was completely renovated during 2004 duly respecting the original architectural features. The terrazzo flooring which covers the whole apartment can still be appreciated in all its beauty. The wooden rafted ceilings are also marvellous. Every detail has been carefully arranged and the result takes one back to an old-style atmosphere, which is typically and genuinely Venetian. The apartment is strategically positioned halfway between the Santa Lucia railway station (8 minutes on foot) and the Rialto Bridge (10 minutes), 50 metres from the Casino, Cà Vendramin Calergi, and 100 metres from the Fondamenta della Maddalena, famous for its characteristic outdoor restaurants. The apartment is situated on the first floor. The stairwell is elegant and quite large. The apartment has three windows which let in lots of light and look onto the picturesque Rio di Santa Fosca (side canal) and over to the magnificent Chiesa dei Servi.

A great lover of Venice!

The Sestiere, or district, of Cannaregio occupies the north-western part of Venice and extends from the Grand Canal to the lagoon. Still a densely populated part of town today, this Sestiere was historically divided into two: an older one towards the Grand Canal with its sumptuous palaces, and the more recent and less-affluent one, which grew mainly in the 1600 and 1700s.
